[dev1072] Bringing back the other stats?

[Jennestia]

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

Plus look at FF7, that games has looooaaaaads of stats in your characters status window, did anybody actually bother with them?

Yes; Yes I did.

And as far as BSTs and CHR go... yeah, they don't use them now but every day the game ran until Abyssea came out, CHR was pretty baller when there was appropriate level charmable stuff around. I'm sure it'll come back into play once the game shifts away from Abyssea.

I like the idea of luck being critical hits. But I don't know, even if stats would become "Useless" its always better to have them then not to have em. As THF on ffxiv for Dancing edge I had a CHR build mixed with str. It worked out pretty well, I also didn't go with the norm of THF/NIN(I hated that nin was a "must"). I always try to be as different as I can. If you look at my stats right now, I have pretty much have all str. I can say with confidence I do more damage than anyone I've played with as a lancer(per hit). Like I said before, I just wanna know why, and if they have any plans on bringing them back into the game. If anyone knows if they said anything in alpha/beta about this, that would be GREAT.


PS- love your creativity on your signatures, kona.

Even they thought it would be a good idea to bring more stats to the game ^.^ Attack Magic Potency
Healing Magic Potency
Enhancement Magic Potency
Enfeebling Magic Potency

So are these just going to come in 2.0? The old stats

Can't think of a new thread to spam top post, so you decided to necro a 7 month old one?

[Sephrick]

Oh look, Rokien necro bumped one of his threads where he wants something from 2010 back.

This is such a new and rare occurance.

Edit: There would be no point to adding agility, charisma or luck. They tossed them out for a reason.

S**t, better revise my Rokien flowchart.

More stats there are more gear variety there will be.
