>It's not so much a P5R problem as a general problem in the industry. In my current playthrough status ailments, buffs, debuffs and such just don't matter. That's the case for most turn-based games, just as the weapons triangle ceased to matter in Fire Emblem games a long time ago.

You can try Etrian Odyssey series by Atlus. It's all about status ailments, binds, buffs and debuffs.
