I also don't like this from what I've experienced so far. One big problem is that all characters are extremely vulnerable to effects unless you mix and match armours -- as a result you end up having characters with mage pants and a breastplate.
You're either completely immune to statuses or completely vulnerable. Once an enemy is vulnerable, it's easy to stun-lock them with something like rain & lightning.
It's becoming even more tempting to have a party full of mages so that I can more quickly destroy magic armour and apply the stun-locks.
