Stats And You!

[Alhanelem]

In regards to the questions of "how much STR do I need to increase my attack?" and "Well, in FFXI this is how it worked!" type of comments; FINAL FANTASY XIV works entirely differently and doesn't use the same system where (for example) 2STR = 1 attack. STR+ X is used to calculate your damage output so you won't see a change in other parameters by simply adding on more STR.

So if I understand this correctly, you're telling us that STR is directly used in the damage calculations, rather than boosting some other stat that is used in turn.

Do I understand that right?
