Does formation (front or rear) affect this skill?
NES-DS comparison[]
A direct comparison of the terrains in the two versions of the game would be interesting. Making the table sortable, it would be apparent to see which Terrain effects better correspond to each other in the two versions. --Abacos (talk) 21:45, September 10, 2014 (UTC)

Another, shorter comparison: NES and DS versions, compared by element. Still, "earth" and "water" are not real elements in the NES version, as no enemy is weak against them. --Abacos (talk) 23:43, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
