Right, that is what I meant by a "new generation" of the old systems, in particular the stat allocation. It was said elsewhere in the forums that the stats are going to be moving largely automated by on level up we will still have some freedom. I imagine 90%+ of our stats will be determined by our class and we will have a couple points to place around how we want depending on what direction we want to play our beloved class(es).

Currently they had to balance out the fact that a rank 1 MRD could have 170 STR because they have a level 50 physical level and needed to make it so that they wouldn't be able to 1-shot everything until lv30. It's hard to balance something when everyone has drastically different stats, so giving us a few stats to play with will preserve the combat damage balance while still giving us the freedom to feel unique.
