Am I dense?

hmm im also having trouble understanding exactly what he's saying

"In A Realm Reborn, we are planning to make adjustments so that the ratio of influence from character stats and from gear stats is 1:1. With this, having 5 materia melded onto a single item won’t elicit as large of a difference like it does currently."

"Similarly in the current version, even when players add large amounts of INT and STR via equipment with multiple materia and such, it may feel like damage is not increasing"

dont these two statements contradict eachother? and I have no reference to what exactly 1:1 actually means.

"Fundamentally, battle related stats fluctuate based on the level difference between enemies, and this is also why we are not planning to display evasion rates and other things."

I think this is the entire problem.

It seems very complicated.

I kinda like when gear is tiered so when you get a certain gear set you are able to go onto the harder content and get the better gearset so on and so forth.. i definately feel there is a greater sense of progression with that system among other advantages like being able to guage a players ability when attempting to make a party for whatever level of content.

whatever it means- at least there has been some thought put into the subject so that cant be bad.

Yes, yes yes!



I was kind of hoping is Enix were going with the concept of two particular stats contributing to damage the most that they'll be easier to cap allowing the community to delve into a larger variety of equipment such as actually using Attack power or store TP.

Although in all honesty I can't stand this stat capping rubbish. Not only does it make the majority of stats redundant but it also has to be readjusted every time you get a weapon upgrade!

The only upside is that I have some kind of direction in regards to how I should be gearing myself to achieve what it is I want to do - which ideally should be explained to us anyway!
