First, these stats influence every character's attack power, defence,
and magic power. I will discuss how. Second, there is a method I've
found that can max out most of these through a time-consuming method.
I'll share that, too. This is not a walkthrough for the entire game;
this only covers the best ways to make use of your characters' stats.

The natural
stats and their influences
|
| On the status screen,
you see this below the character's name, class, and hp/mp:
Str.= Strength (primarily
attack power) ATTX = attack multiplier DEFX = defence multiplier MDEFX = magic defence multiplier Now, here is how the stats (strength through will) affect the attack power through magic defence percent: Strength- Agility- Vitality- Wisdom and Will- Levels of Experience- All values are always rounded down in the case of fractions. Thus, if you add wisdom and will together and get 35, 35/8= 4.375, and the game will register 4 for a magic defence percent without armour. |

Predictions after Level 70
Ok, so you got the basic idea on what they get AT level 70.. now its time to see the variables of what you can get up to Level 99, for the perfectionist in you all ^_^.. I'll do it one character per table, since there are ALOT of numbers to be put down. You have 29 chances to get all of these.. Heres a quick + - guide;
|
+1 = 29
+2 = 58 +3 = 87 +4 = 116 |
-1 = -29
-2 = -58 -3 = -87 |

+Notes+
The bonuses are simultaneous in nature. Thus if you get an agility to 32, you will gain 1 defense multiplier (every 8 agility), 1 attack multiplier (every 16 agility), and one magic defense multiplier (every 32 agility) all at once. If you get 32 agility at level 48, you would also get an attack point and percent (every 4 level-ups) and another defense multiplier (every 16 level-ups) all at once.
There is no stat that affects defense percent. All characters have a base rate of 30%. Armor can increase or decrease this. Items like metal armor drop it to zero, whereas robes and lighter pieces can increase it. The glass helmet and adamant armor increases it to 99%. Shields are the only way a character wearing armor, a helmet, and a gauntlet can dodge an attack. You'll notice Cid usually gets hit since his Hammer takes two hands...no shield.
There is no stat that affects magic power defense. The value is only the sum of the armors' values.
Attack percent is 50% for all characters at level 1. Weapons can add to this value. Every four levels of experience also increases this by1%.
All characters begin with 1 attack multiplier and 0 defense and magic defence multipliers. So the max attack multiplier can be 19 with a 96strength and 96 agility.
This being said, a level 99 character with no items equipped and 99 forall stats will look like: *Not identical to the in-game table(s) but close enough to get the idea*
| Str: 99 Agi: 99 Vit: 99 Wis: 99 Will: 99 |
19x....48 / 74%
12x....49 / 30% 9x....0 / 24% |
Armor that gives bonuses such as strength and agility will have these stats factored into the calculations. For example, if you equip a crystal ring which gives a bonus of 5 to agility, and this pushes your agility from 91 to 96, you will gain the attack, defense, and magic defense multipliers. If you remove the ring, you will lose these bonuses.
If you follow how the calculations work, you'll realize that there is no difference between a strength of 96 and 99, an agility of 96 and 99, and a stamina of 98 and 99. Is this true? Yes, it is. The stats listed above would be identical if your strength and agility were 96 and stamina of 98. Wisdom and will are slightly different since they are added together. If you had a will of 99 and a wisdom of 5, you would get a 13 magic defense percent. (104/8=13)However, if one of these is at 99, the highest the other can get before it stops giving you bonuses would be 93. So there would be no need to get the second to 99. This all being said, is there any reason to get a stat such as agility to 99? Not really. It just looks nice.
I've noticed there are some excellent damage calculations for FF4 in Bsiron's walkthrough at www.gamefaqs.com for those interested.
Strange Info.
There is a way to get a stat to 0. I find it easier to do with Kain. Just equip the Drain Spear (or Lance) when his will is at 10. It will go down to 0. If it's at 9 or less, it's going to go down to 1. (Tip by Etienne Santerre)
