Am I dense?

Translation:
Diminishing returns are being added to materia melds. optimal melds will likely be either double or tripple.

IE: they are essentially flipping the effect. right now you must have great gains in stats to notice a difference. +10 STR vs +100 str is HUGE.

instead, they want you to notice +10 STR (say 10% increase in damage). but not notice a difference so much between +80str and +100STR (say 5% increase in damage).

Unless the physical stat on the gear you melded was changed using diminishing returns wouldn't it be incredibly difficult to either track the individual melds affect on your overall damage or would this affect all stats including gear stats and your base stats?

I would guess all stats. and it would not be terribly difficult to track. we know our +str values at all times. this is a pretty easy test to figure out with a parser
