* You take more damage, therefore you need to spend more resources on healing
* The enemy gets healed more, resulting in the enemy becoming harder to kill
It is better to focus on evasion instead. With high evasion, you can frequently kill enemies before they get to act, and even if they do, their physical attacks (including the HP draining ones) will do far less damage.
You may be aware of a weapon called the Blood Sword that does spectacular damage to bosses and other high HP enemies. These enemies, in effect, are using Blood Swords against you.
So it's more like... being rich means you get more leeway to spend on luxuries and still have enough money for daily necessities. It's something like that, except it's with high-stats in a RPG.
Also by that point in time, enemies were missing some of the time, at the same rate my attacks miss at the beginning of a Final Fantasy I run.
And the Blood Sword, what a fine piece of weapon. Makes the Emperor so hilariously easy. I didn't use it on him, as what's the thrill of using OP weaponry on a Final Fantasy Final Boss (Except for Kefka, that guy can die quickly)? I like using my best on the Final Bosses but not the overpowered on them.
