It is not the same STR does not affect attack, so I think people would like to know how the damage formula works. Where does STR (or attack for that matter) play into the formula?

From his interviews this was the kind of thing he wanted to be open about because players simply can't "figure it out" without extensive parsing with different setups (Which SE doesn't even approve of anyways). People are spending money on materia and stuff, I think they should at least get a hint at what these stats do so they can prioritize better.
