How many attack elements can an RPG have before it becomes too autistic?

[Nickel Silver]

Final Fantasy VI has 8: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Water, Wind, Holy, and Poison.

And then there's Pokemon with a whopping eighteen.



How much is too much? How many do vidya need?

I think once you add the milk element you should call it quits

 

[Camo Fox]

SMT games have the perfect amount imo. Idk what number that is and I'm too lazy to google it.

It looks like Shin Megami Tensei 5 has eight (seven magical and one physical) and Persona 5 has eleven (nine magical and two physical).

If you count the first Persona, that goes up to 28.

As many as you can have with them still being obvious to anyone playing without needing to look up a chart
