All status conditions will have animations that play over the affected targets. I will not use the SV overlays, as I feel they don't fit the aesthetic of the game. Here's blind and poison in action:

When blinded, a dark cloud covers the character's face much like in the 3D Final Fantasy games on the original Playstation. For poison, the character glows green and poison bubbles drift upward from them.

Enemies will also visually show their status ailments more clearly than in the past as well. Here is the first boss of the game, Bottomswell, enjoying being poisoned by Aysha's Granaldo summon.

Looking forward to doing animations for all status conditions (though some will just be glows/tints applied to the characters). I'll post more in the future when I have a good number of them completed.
