Slow (Final Fantasy VIII status)

Slow is a status in Final Fantasy VIII. Slow halves the Speed of the afflicted character, and slows the effects and durations of other statuses. The effect lasts approximately 6.6 seconds. The afflicted character moves slower and their ATB bar is blue. Slow and Haste cannot coexist on the same target, the application of one removing the other unless one has Auto-Haste. Slow is one ailment that works on some bosses, most of which are immune to other statuses.
