It's affected by day (slightly) and seasons (linked to real world seasons, basically when its winter months irl, it'll have the possibility of snowing in zones that normally doesn't have snow, like Rolanberry and Batallia Downs). Basically the day and weather added/took away bonuses to the respective element and it's weakness, so if you're in a severe thunderstorm all thunder magic was boosted, which is what made SCH as well pretty valuable as it could control the weather around a specific character ontop of adding stats with it.

The only time weather got in the way in XI is in the snow zones where you had blinding blizzards that made it hard to see lol.
