What I do not agree with is the damage being higher solely due to the higher crit potency on body. The difference between my LNC and PGL in terms of crit potency is about 30. On LNC I have about 100 more Attack Power and 30-40 more STR. That effectively rules our 30 crit potency making up for ~30% more power on hit.

that entirely depends on how crit potency works, and im telling you it seems like crit potency is way more effective way of boosting crit damage, which make perfect sense. because crits arent that common, for the materia to be compareable it has to have a greater effect when it does happen.

the dmg may be slightly more on victimize, but im pretty sure the crit potency is WAAAY more effective than the 100 attack for boosting crit damage.
