Point Allotment vs. Fixed Stat progression

[Ventus]

I'm sort of an old school RPGer so I favor the fixed stat progression because it allows more amplification for racial stats of tarutaru/mithra/hume/etc to make each have a clear advantage with certain jobs which I always loved .

I want to know though, given the power to choose, would you guys favor allotting the points yourself for each armoury class or have fixed stats by each level?

[DoctorMog]

Both.

Give me the stats the way they are intended, but let me adjust them as I see fit.

[Masaiyan]

Fixed any day. Skill should matter more then point allotement

[SuzakuCMX]

How about both, as planned?

[MariyaShidou]

If you are old school RPG-er, you would have to have your stats dice-rolled, not fixed.

Allotted for me, I'll take playing my character according to my preferences any day over being forced to play in a specific manner.

[Jinrya-Geki]

Stat myself, if it were ever fixed/auto-distrubuted, I'd quit.

Its perfect the way yoshida will release it. I like the fact that its fixed, but get x amount of points per level to distribute myself.

[Kailea_Nagisa]

yeah they are planning on doing both ways, and I kind of like it that way.

You get set states at start, and set increase at level up, but then you get some points to play with and tweak yourself to what you like.

Me for instance, I want to be a Lancer/Con (with DRG I guess as job *shrugs*) and so as a Miqo'te I would already have decent ACC, so I could throw a few points in STR MND and INT.

Both.

As long as they don't fall into the Diablo II syndrome of "no stat variety since all builds have the same stat allocations anyway", I'll be fine.
