Oh, people will still cry, don't make any mistake about that! Elemental strengths and weaknesses have been a fundamental part of the Final Fantasy franchise almost from the beginning, and it's sad to see it tossed aside. A damage system where Ice, Fire, and Lightning are nothing more than different colors of the same thing is bland and boring. Given the current structure of the game, though, it's simply not feasible to make any meaningful use of elemental variance.
