What is their purpose?
Strength
This factor affects the attacking power of your character.
The higher the stats, the more damage your character will inflict
with the Attack Command.
Vitality
This factor effects the defensive power of your character.
The higher the defensive stats, the lesser the amount of damage
inflicted by your opponent.
Magic
This factor effects the magic attacking power of your character.
The higher the stats, the more damage your character will inflict
when using magic.
Spirit
This factor effects the magic defensive power of your character.
The higher the stats, the lesser the amount of damage inflicted
by your opponent when it uses magic.
Speed
This factor effect the speed of your time bar or ATB [also
known Active Time Bar]. The higher the stats, the faster the ATB
is.
Evasion
This factor effect the rate whether your character will escape
from an enemy's attack [causing a MISS in the opponent's attack].
The higher the stats, the more chance your character will dodge
from an attack.
Hit
This factor effect the rate whether your character will hit
your opponent with the Attack Command. The higher the stats, the
lesser chance that your character will miss an attack. Gunblades
have 255% hit rate.
Luck
This one I not quite sure. But I think that it will effect
the rate whether the Odin will appear. It also effect the rate
whether your character could escape from status ailments such
as death. If you have the luck stats of 100+, you will be able
to see the Gilmagesh in between battles! I guess it also affects
the critical hit rates.
Status Attack
This is similar to FF7's Elemental combo on your character's
weapon Your character will inflict damage and also causes status
ailments on your opponent. For example if you want to cause Sleep
with your character attack, junction Sleep to your Status Attack
with ST-Atk-J. The above mentioned combo is the key to survival
in this game.
Status Defense
I myself preferred this than status attack. This works like
FF7's Elemental combo on your character's armor. Your character
will receive protection against the status that you have junctioned.
For example if you want your character to be protected against
Confuse, junction Confuse to your status defense (ST-Def-J)
Elemental Attack
This is rather USELESS. If you want to do more damage against
Fire-based monsters such as the Bomb, junction Blizzard to your
junction as Blizzard works well against Fire. However, ice-based
monsters will nullifies the attack, thus you are helping them
to restore lost HP! The Elem-Atk is pretty helpful if you know
about the BOSS beforehand.
Elemental Defense
This is much preferred against Elemental Attack. As you can
received no damage from elementals or nullifies it and restore
your HP. This ability could make your life easier. If you junction
100x Ultima to your Elemental defense, you will be able to nullify
any kind of magic. For example if you want your character to protect
well against Fire, junction Fire to the character's Elemental
Defense. (Elem-Def-J)
