Final Fantasy V/Statuses

This is a list of status effects found in Final Fantasy V. These are important in battle since you can use them partially or completely disable an enemy or help your own characters in various ways. Conversely, enemies may also use them in battle and you should try to remove them if they are serious enough. Generally, status effects can be classified as positive (buffs) or negative (debuffs or ailments), though there are a few, such as Berserk, which may be helpful or harmful depending on circumstances.
