When you equipt Stat Rings they dont seem to do anything. In XI the ratio was for example 2 Vit = 1 Def. In this game you equipt Vit and you get more Vit stat, no defense, no HP. Even the trait conversions +10 and + 5 dont do anything. The only thing that seems to be working it Base Point Vit and Base Point Mind.

I ask myself this every day I play. Why didnt you take the system from XI and just improve it. It was perfect. Instead of reinventing the wheel. Just strap some rockets on the sides and make it go faster. Sheesh!
