A: It is a simple increase in accuracy for physical magic attacks

I realize that the Japanese version says (物理系青魔法攻撃力 - Physical-system Blue Magic Attack Power), but this might be a good time to request a clarification in the wording in the Japanese version as well.

This game has enough confusing things, and things that could be stated clearly should be stated clearly!

Perish the thought! Rest assured that your devoted efforts to restore clarity and light to the dark reaches of Vana'diel are appreciated by one and all.

While we weren't able to settle this for the most recent patch (as you point out, the ambiguity exists in JP as well), we are in touch with the devs, who will consider possibly (unfortunately I can't make any promises) fixing it down the line.

Once again, we thank you for your vigilance!
