Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: Formulas & statistics
« on: September 15, 2007, 02:32:08 pm »
Necroing this topic, sorry.
I was recently looking at the GameFaqs mechanics article, and then applying the formulas there to in-game damage being done. The formulas were accurate, and the stats I had were indeed producing numbers approximate to the damage I was seeing. However, I looked on the Compendium Enemy Stats section, and saw that they all have DEF and MDEF, but these stats seem to have little or no effect when damage is calculated. Does anyone have any insight into how DEF and MDEF are involved with combat mechanics? Conversely, how are they calculated on the receiving end for PCs?
