You're playing a generic FF and you encounter two monsters. Monster A is
immune to phyical attacks, Monster B is immune to magical attacks. You throw
a fire gem (or similar elemental damaging item) at each monster. Which one
takes damage?

a) Monster A, because the item is dealing magical damage
b) Monster B, because an item is counted as a physical attack
c) Neither
d) Both

I don't know the answer myself, just curious. I'm sure in the FF series
there is a difference between Delivery (physical, magical, special ability,
item) and Payload (fire damage, phyical damage) but I'm not sure what

Hmmm... answering my own question, the answer seems to be "It depends".
Played FFX-2 and found a monster with Null-Physical. Some items worked (Fire
Gem, Supreme Gem, etc.) while others didn't (mines and grenades).
Interestingly, the BLue Bullet ability 1,000 needles worked too
