paladin novus stat questions

[Madotsuki]

It still represents potentially millions of gil you could have made by just selling the tier IV materia and buying Tier I/II of some other stat that's almost as good. Especially for a tank where secondary stats beyond hitting the accuracy cap aren't really powerful enough that having 11 more of one stat vs. another is going to make a real noticeable difference.

That's fine, like I said it's not for everyone. I myself don't really have a lot of other expenditures I'd have chosen over going for what I wanted.
