    Vanish

    What the hell is the point of this spell? And why are enemies basically unkillable when they are vanished? I sat for a few minutes in a room with an invisible Reaper that I couldn't target to even steal from/kill. It's kinda dumb. Totally useless spell ftw, right SE!?

    For the reapers, I know the ones in Henne will pop out when you reach low HP, if you're talking about other ones, don't know about that. Vanish in FF12 is like Deodorize in FF11. Completely. Useless.

    The spell is supposed to function like the FFXI spell Invisible.

    I think it fail because not every mobs aggro sight. Some mobs like elemental, bomb aggro magic like in FFXI. I would thnk bat, undead and the like aggro sneak, leaving very few mob to sight. I would need to test first tho >_>

    Vanishga + Float, i got passed most enemies that way, i think it works in conjunction. Not 100% sure cause last time i tried was a while ago, have to recheck lol.

    Most mobs in the game seem to aggro sight + sound.

    As far as I remember (haven't played in about six months), the spell had the function of "reduces chance of being attacked by enemies" or something to that effect.

    Actually, that kinda makes sense. Because if your floating, technically your feet wouldn't touch the ground, hence pretty much the same as Sneak. I'm gonna go try that out now.

    So it's settled then, Vanish has no use whatsoever.

    Well, the Vanish effect says it removes the mob's ability to target you. Perhaps it acts sorta like a stun effect? Mob aims at a weak guy, cast Vanish on the guy, and the mob loses its targeting, and then goes to its next target?

    Dunno really, just speculating.
