Agreed. It's good that you brought up the leveling part being vertical progression, since with that in mind, the impact that formulaic stats had was almost unnoticeable in most regards lol. Not entirely unlike how it is while leveling in XIV, assuming you geared your job at least a little bit along the way for both games. Meanwhile, absolute values like with +MP did make a huge difference with how XI operated. Not a big deal in the leveling regards to not be noticeable, even here.
