Elemental advantages
When I was a kid and played this game, I don't think I ever once utilized type advantages for an upper hand in combat. I pretty much only assigned elements based off of what spells I wanted that character to learn.
This playthrough I'm doing a bit of that, but also utilizing type advantages during certain combat sequences like boss battles, or when my party is at a diminished strength due to missing members. Although I am finding it difficult to memorize the elemental strengths and weaknesses. I have to keep looking up charts.
How do you use your elements? Do you just focus on learning spells, or are you the opposite and you just use it for a strength boost and learn whatever spells in whatever order along the way?
Also, does anyone have any good tips for memorizing what elements work best against each other? Am I just dumb and need to just take some time and memorize it?
