In 1.0, yeah. They were still present through ARR and HW I believe in the form of materia mostly, but they were never really used for anything, so they removed resistances like this and any materia that applied. Eureka is the only place now that really takes advantage of elemental weaknesses/resistances via the elemental wheel.
