At least, that's what I think. It'd be unbalanced if these two stats actually circumvented the 75 point cap we've been presented with, and it would also be unfair if people had to infuse fewer materia based on what stat(s) they chose.

This theory, of course, brings up a question: If you cap both Det and Piety on a scroll, don't they add up to less than 75? Is it actually impossible to just have these two stats on a weapon?
If this is how it actually plays out and having 31 det materia infused only gives you 22 determination, I will be incredibly disappointed. The other 110 weapons can have 31 crit and 31 det, but novus would be forced into having 22 det and 44 crit. That is just a punch to the teeth and not in the spirit of true stat customization. I'd rather have to infuse more determination materia and get 31 determination than be pigeon-holed into an inferior stat setup.
