So is 1.19 the patch that will make stats matter?

Or is that 1.20 or beyond?

1.19 would remove attribute allocation it said.
In other words, stats matter less than earlier ;)
It will come back in 1.20

Offtopic: Read the letter, it is in there :)

I think they will matter after 1.20. 1.19 will abolish the physical levels and I guess we will have automatic stats allocation until 1.20 where they should implement all class changes at the same time.

Just a guess though

"but, my SPOON is TOO BIG!"

That letter is huge, and this was something i am unclear about as well. I know they are taking away Physical Level and Attribute Allotment, but I can't recall any Stat Algorithm changes mentioned in the letter.

I was under the impression stats will will now make a difference in 1.19 but that we wont be able to allocate for each class till 1.20

I got that they were getting rid of free stat allocation overall.

No they are not

We will implement a system whereby players can voluntarily allocate attribute points to each class in patch 1.20. This will take place alongside class balance adjustments.

Overhaul of the damage algorithm (to be completed in 1.19)

When last I checked, STR, DEX, VIT, INT, MND, and PIE are all involved in both damage taken and received. So, looks likely to me that the effect of stats on combat is going to be changing.

Yea stats are getting overhauled this patch, so while we can't allocate points yet the effect of gear should be pronounced.

So I am going to assume that Materia is going to be what makes people different from one another. Well, until 1.20.
