But what is the purpose of dexterity, vitality, spirit?

My apologies if this has already been discussed.

This is an off-wall-guess but I would say they affect Hit and Evade, HP gain, and Magic Defense respectively. That's what I always thought they were but I could be totally wrong. :p

I figured out after i posted that dexterity affects the time it takes for your character to be able to do an action.

the others im still blank on, and thanks.

"spirit" sounds like white magic potency while "magic" is black magic potency.

Vitality reduces physical damage taken
Spirit reduces magic damage taken
Dex is your speed

No idea if they do anything else :)

Dexterity: Affects the speed of ATB gauge and Defence%.

(Dex / 4) + armour's Def% = final Defence% value.

Vitality: Affects the damage taken from physical attacks.

Vit + armour's Defence = final Defence value.

Spirit: Affects the damage taken from magical attacks.

Spirit = final MDefence value. The MDef of armour is ignored.

i used n00bish in the way that meant i was new to this game, how does that make it seem like I'm ASSUMING new people are stupid.

also in my experience, the majority of the idiots are new people.

You're almost right... Vitality and Spirit do the above on paper, but absolutely nothing in practice. Seriously, I've never known any enemy to do different damage to anyone at any level at all. Things that do 100 damage when you first meet them at level 10 will still do 100 damage when you're level 99, as opposed to, say, 1 damage, which you'd expect. The defensive stats in the game only seem to work if you augment them with a Hero Drink.

I think that's just in 9. However, consulting TFergusson's Battle Mechanics FAQ on gamefaqs.com might yield a correct answer. Let's take a look-see here...

Hrm. He's got nothing on Steal. Odd.

Oh well.

Stealing depends on the level of the character and the level of the target. The larger the difference between the two, the higher the chance of success. There are some exceptions, such as Vagyrisk Claws from Bagrisks. In that situation you've the best chance at Lv11 and zero chance at Lv77+.
