- Main article: Junction System

Final Fantasy IXEdit
Status immunity abilities appear in this game under different names, and include Insomniac, Jelly, Antibody, Locomotion, Loudmouth, Bright Eyes, Clear Headed, and Body Temp. Body Temp protects from Heat and Freeze and Antibody also protects from Venom.
Equipping the corresponding immunity ability after the status effect has afflicted a character does not remove said status effect.
Final Fantasy XEdit
Elemental proof abilities are upgraded forms of the abilities with the "Ward" suffix, stopping their respective element from inflicting any damage to the character whatsoever, instead of the 50% semi-resistance offered by the "Ward" abilities. However, they are still a step down from the abilities with the "Eater" suffix, which absorb their respective elements damage. The elemental proof abilities are also spiritual upgrades of the elemental SOS Abilities, which function the same but require the player to be in the Critical status for the effect to activate.
The Fireproof auto ability nullifies Fire elemental damage, and can be customized to an armor with eight Bomb Core items. The Lightningproof auto ability nullifies Lightning elemental damage, and can be customized to an armor with eight Lightning Marble items. The Waterproof auto ability nullifies Water elemental damage, and can be customized to an armor with eight Dragon Scale items. The Iceproof auto ability nullifies Ice elemental damage, and can be customized to an armor with eight Arctic Wind items. The NulBlaze, NulTide, NulShock, and NulFrost abilities make the party immune to Fire, Water, Thunder, and Ice elements respectively, but they wear off when the character is hit with the corresponding element.
Status proof abilities are upgraded forms of the abilities with the "Ward" suffix, and reduce the chance of a status being inflicted to 0. However, there are some abilities that inflict statuses which ignore immunities.
The Darkproof auto ability provides immunity to the Dark status, and can be customized to an armor with ten Smoke Bomb items. The Silenceproof auto ability provides immunity to the Silence and can be customized to an armor with ten Silent Grenade items. The Sleepproof auto ability provides immunity to the Sleep status, and can be customized to an armor with eight Dream Powder items. The Poisonproof auto ability provides immunity to the Poison status, and can be customized to an armor with 12 Poison Fang items.
The Stoneproof auto ability provides immunity to the Petrify status, and can be customized to an armor with 20 Petrify Grenade items. The Deathproof auto ability prevents the effect of instant death attacks, and can be customized to an armor with 60 Farplane Wind items.
The Zombieproof auto ability provides immunity to the Zombie status, and can be customized to an armor with ten Candle of Life items. The Slowproof auto ability provides immunity to the Slow status, and can be customized to an armor with 20 Gold Hourglass items. The Confuseproof auto ability provides immunity to the Confusion status, and can be customized to an armor with 48 Musk items. The Berserkproof auto ability provides immunity to the Berserk status, and can be customized to an armor with 32 Hypello Potion items.
The Curseproof auto ability is the only "proof" ability without a respective Ward providing immunity to it. It is also the only of the statuses with respective "proof" abilities not protected against with the Ribbon auto ability (with exception to Deathproof). Curseproof provides immunity to the Curse status, being the only auto ability to do so. Because of this, it has an "all or nothing" approach, resisting the status entirely with Curseproof, or being completely open to the status without. It can be customize to an armor with 12 Tetra Elemental items. It is the most expensive of the proof auto abilities.
Ribbon appears exclusively in the International/PAL versions as an auto ability which protects against a large number of status ailments. These are the ones that are available from other Proof abilities (bar Curseproof) and include Dark, Silence, Sleep, Poison, Petrification, Zombie, Slow, Confusion, and Berserk, and it also protects against Doom. It is notably vulnerable to instant death attacks, Curse, Power Break, Magic Break, Armor Break, Mental Break, Delay, and Eject. Ribbon is also still vulnerable to the attacks which penetrate armor immunities.
