Stats And You!

[Frein]

So if I understand this correctly, you're telling us that STR is directly used in the damage calculations, rather than boosting some other stat that is used in turn.

Do I understand that right?

There are two ways to interpret Bayohne's post.

1) The damage formula is like this: Damage Dealt = STR + [rest unknown]. If this is the case, each point of STR adds a flat 1 point of damage.

2) The other (and I consider this more likely) possibility is that he was simply trying to explain that STR is not related to ATK the way it was in FFXI (2 STR would, in addition to its own effect, add 1 ATK). In this case we are no closer to understanding the damage formula and we should merely stop trying to spot changes in ATK when we add STR.
