i think it's berserk--sure if you cast it on the enemy they won't use magic against you, but when they do attack you it will be for more damage, and if you cast it on yourself then you can hit for more damage, but you'll be completely helpless otherwise for the rest of the battle.

It depends on what game it is from because berserk can be quite useful in the orginal FFII for an example.

The most useless magic I can come to think of is the Remora summon from FFV

I would say it is a tie between Beserk and Float. I don't like Float that much for it doesn't do much except protect you from Earth moves. Berserk can sometimes kill you for yoy can't control the character. I still use these two magic at times though.

I think it is beserk.  I have never found much use in it since most bosses are resistent to it in the first place.

i actually used beserk once on a boss and it helped out alot :)  Float i find very useful for me.  if we are talking AGAINST monsters, then beserk would be useless.

In Final Fantasy II there was a lot of pointless magic. Berserk was actually good because it made you stronger without the midless attacking thing. There were several names for the same spell and stuff like "stun" and "stop." There were a lot of spells like "fear" that were pretty much useless.

Berserk can be useful.....although to be honest i found doom or death to be a waste since they never worked half the time.

I would have to say every status (except for the helpfull ones) are completely pointless.

 But the one I absolutely despise is sleep. Sleep rarely ever works, and if it does, you can only use magic to keep it going.

I don't think so. Some bosses are so fast you need it such as Gizmaluke in FFIX.

Probably death, if only for its rate of landing (the mobs you'd want to use it on are usually immune, only the lowbie stuff you could kill in one hit would die from it).  Level 5 death is even worse.

Berserk is useful from an enemies' point of view.  Sleep is actually very useful in FF8 junctioned to your weapon - have your characters just chain attack a mob and it'll be pretty much permanently asleep for a good portion of the game.  Right up there with Pain as one of the best junctions (wish you could have put Meltdown on a weapon...).

well i guess that all status magic are pointless at some point! spells like death or sleep never work on either bosses or advanced monsters! and i guess that they almost all work at the beginning of the game ^_^

really, demi can be quire usefull. Especially if you have to defeat someone where magic and physical attacks don't work on him, like that huge monster at the end of FFVIII that you could easily defeat with demi while with magic and physical attacks it would take you hours if you survive that is.
