1) I appreciate that each stat's general function is known, but which stats are *better* than others. I need to know so I know what gear I should be looking for.

As a monk, I value STR (and I'm putting every point into it), Critical Hit Rate, Skill Speed and Determination. Whilst I appreciate VIT/ACC may be relevant, I don't see any need to ever choose them as primary attributes in items/materia.

What I don't know is how much each *point* is worth? What's better for DPS, and in what order?: STR, Determination, Crit Hit Rate, Skill Speed (I've listed them in the order I *guess* would influence the most DPS (best->least). But I'm only guessing..

Extra question (due to posting limits): I see that achievements give rewards/titles, but I never see people wearing any titles next to their names.. are titles equippable/visible to others at all, or just a tick in your achievement book/maybe something visible on your internet profile and nothing more?
