More Stats?

[MsMisato]

The path devs have chosen with the reborn of XIV is, removing stats, for the simple reason to make the game more... simple?

Elemental resistance and accuracy have been removed (who of you remembers all the theory about how to avoid any 'miss' on T1? xD), and today any stat outside the main have so negligible effects, you want optimize them only on raiding environment.

And I agree with this simplification, in the past have dealt with games with tons of stats but in the end, if you didn't had the "only" "correct" build, you got cast away from anything.

To add fuel on the fire, I'd expect sooner or later, materia will get simplification too. We have six grades now, for all and every stat....

I still have my books of the hymn for to change up my stats from back in the day.

Thought they were doing away with the ability to use main stat materia such as str, vit, dex, and such and going to up the values on the armor pieces and such?
