Make Each Class Use Each Stat

[FoxyAreku]

Personally I would prefer if they removed the primary stats and only kept the secondary stats.

That does not even make sense and is actually completely impossible without changing how the game works completely. >_>

Actually, it does.
Nobody cares about VIT and PIE, so you jsut have to set HP and MP values for each job/level.
And apart from that, you could just fuse STR and DEX into Attack, use Magic Attack for INT, and Healing Potency for MND.

And again, pretty much all stats just increase damage, no need to have tons of them...

And how would you code this?

It really is not that simple when the entire foundation, party buffs, and all ability calculation is made with these stats in mind.

(Also PIE is actually pretty important for healers since they went and tripled mana costs with heavensward release)

"All ability" calculation ?!
Name one where you absolutely need main stats.

Piety is important ? So why does every healer just use the highest gear they can, even though it can have less piety ?

The difficulity would be more in rebalancing everything, from the coding point of view it shouldn't be that much of a challenge
