[dev1072] Bringing back the other stats?

[Rokien]

In this Picture You can see there were more stats(this was in alpha). When beta came along they got rid of some of those stats. I would like to see some of these back. Mostly charisma and agility. I was just wondering if there was any word on bringing these back into the game.


PS: I didn't see a thread pertaining to this.

Agility was rolled into Dexterity, I believe.

Charisma (and luck?) turned into Piety.

The stats we have already are messed up enough without adding new ones.

Six elements, six stats.

So thats why we are having such hard time on drops and crafting! xD Its ALL ABOUT LUCK! And the luck attribute is constant 16 :P So thats why i more often get hq on 30 quality than 300 :P

Dexterity ate Agility. No seriously, they're basically the same thing what with Dexterity being a synonym of Agility and all. Its simpler this way and simple is usually best for this sort of thing.

Luck is a stupid stat. It ends up being either horribly overpowered or completely worthless. Besides how do you make yourself luckier anyway? O.O

Charisma is also a stupid stat only used by FFXI BSTs BRDs PLDs no one. Ya Charisma is useless in any game where you can't make some sort of bluff check. We get Piety which is actually potentially useful as it boosts M.Acc.

*Ahem*.

CHR was used by Dancers, Bards and Blue Mage. BST rarely pack on CHR these days given the ultimate Jug pets out now.

Luck throughout FF history has always been kind of the odd stat out.

I always associated Luck as the stat that determined hit rating and chance of critical hits.

Since we do have hit in the game as the form of accuracy maybe it's not that the original stats were removed, but simply renamed into something more coherent. e.g/ Luck > Accuracy

-Dexterity: Skill in performing tasks, esp. with the hands.
-Agility: Agility is the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, endurance and stamina.
-Charisma:Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others

I don't think there needs to be "luck" in the game. But I think (by these definitions) separating them would bring a different level to the game. I just wonder what made the decision to get rid of them, and if there's any talk in bringing them back.

I'd be willing too try this, it might make it more complicated. And i LOVE complicated games. =)
