SaGa Frontier (All PCs, Numeric Stats)

[DjinnAndTonic]

SaGa Frontier PCs have a very complex method of increasing in strength, and due to similarities between 'races' of characters, it is very difficult to determine the strengths and weaknesses of varying PCs within a single race, though it is rather easy to weigh the strengths of the races against each other.

To determine the strengths of individual PCs (rather than a whole race), the characters' innate growth rates, starting skills/equipment, and unique skills/equipment were emphasized. Taking these innate attributes, all the individual characters were scaled up to endgame strength assuming they were only using the abilities that their unique/starting skills indicated, and were only allowed access to storebought equipment, as it is readily available to a full team of 5 without grinding for item drops. Unique equipment (what little there is) was also allowed.

To define 'endgame strength', the number of battles was fixed to 200 in a single playthrough, assuming equal Battle Rank/Stat Growth throughout all 200 battles. This is an 'ideal' setup that is not exactly reflective of in-game, but it should represent an 'average' of serveral playthroughs. For example, most players will need to fight many more than 200 battles to achieve the highest possible stats, and will fight many battles that are not 'ideal' for their PCs to grow. Alternatively, the game is easily beaten by speed-runners who do not increase Battle Rank/Stat Growth as much. This topic seeks to be close to an 'average' of the extremes.

Data here is synthesized and collected from Zaraktheus' Mechanics Guide.

Average Human PC Growth in 'Ideal' Playthrough:

Human PCs all have a chance after battle to increase one or more their stats. This chance is effected by the rank of the Enemy being fought, the current value of a given stat, an innate growth factor unique to each PC/stat, the type of action taken in a given battle, and a barely-important factor that slowly increases every time a PC does -not- increase a stat to help ensure that the RNG doesn't screw over the PCs (this factor is called Inevitability by Zaraktheus). I am throwing out Inevitability due to its very minor influence until late in the grinding stages (and for sanity's sake,) but keep in mind it exists.

Enemy Stat-Up values and a PCs' current stats cannot exceed 99. Additionally, the highest easily-recurring Enemy Stat-Up value is 75, creating a 'soft' cap for Human Stat growth to run into. (But they have more-than-enough equipment stats to easily reach the true cap if they hit 75 naturally.)

This guide takes the randomness of these factors out of the equation by assuming that, in an 'ideal' playthrough, the player will always fight an enemy with the same Stat-Up value as their current Stats. Obviously, this will never happen in a true playthrough, but it should work out to be about average given that a player can fight enemies with much higher Stat-Up values than their current stats, but will often run into lower enemies that waste their time. Additionally, using (and not using) equipment can help manipulate Stat-Up values to be closer to this 'ideal'.

Innate PC Stat-Growth Factors:
These are simply a minor factor that each PC has in determining their affinity for raising different stats. The worth of these factors has been inflated in this topic due to the 'ideal' nature of averaging playthroughs.

In-battle Actions' Growth Factors:
Every type of action taken in battle partly determines the chances for each Stat to increase after a battle. In this 'ideal' playthrough, PCs were determined to only use actions in battle based on their starting/unique abilities and equipment. For example, because Blue only starts with Magic skills in his repertoire (and is the only one who can learn a large number of unique spells), he is assumed to only be taking Magic actions, and the growth of his stats reflect this. This type of growth is most common for players to take as focusing on one type of action increases the chances for the relevant Stats to grow (INT,PSY,QUI in this case) AND for learning new skills of that type (Realm magic spells in this case).

For characters with multiple types of starting abilities, the character was assumed to be an average of all types of actions they could take. For example, Roufas starts with Mind Magic, a few basic Sword skills, and a few basic Gun skills. His stats reflect what would happen if a player trained Roufas in Magic for one-third of the game, Sword for the next third, and then Guns for another third. This does not represent the most likely case for a Roufas for any single true playthrough, but it -does- give an accurate average of how well-balanced he is and can be trained to be.

Due to the strong influence of Action Growth Factors, if you disagree with this method of trying to represent a character's average worth, then take this topic's numbers with a grain of salt, they are only based on a theoretical 'ideal' playthrough.

For reference, here are the numbers from the Mechanics Guide.
                   Action Growth Factors Chart
                         by Zaraktheus

Action Type       |TOTAL|STR|QUI|INT|WIL|PSY|VIT|CHA|WP |JP |HP |
        Any Magic |  23 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 4 |

            Sword |  22 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 6 |
None of the above |  12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 8 |


The actual formula, again thanks to Zaraktheus:

S = Current value of this Stat (Base value, modified by equipment, mystic
    absorbs, and any buffs/debuffs from the current battle)
E = Enemy Stat-Up Value of ONLY the Main Enemy
B = Stat Growth Bonus for this Stat
I = Inevitability
D = adjusted Difficulty
C = base Chance
A = Total Action Growth Factor for this Stat of all Action Types chosen in this
    battle
N = Number of different Action Types chosen in this battle
F = Final Chance

S - ((E + B) + (I / 8) - 10) = D
0 <= D <= 20
Convert D->C using Table 3*.
(C * A) / (N * 4) = F
If rand(0...99) < F, improve this Base Stat +1; max 99

*Table 3:
Difficulty->Chance Table 3 (Stat Growth):
00-01-02-03-04-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-Difficulty
50-39-39-37-36-34-31-29-26-23-20-16-13-10-08-05-03-02-01-01-01-Chance

'Ideal' Formula notes:

The 'ideal' playthrough assumes the player is awesome is always fighting an enemy with a stat-up value equal to their current stat. It also assumes that Inevitability=0.

Example for Fei-On (innate STR growth affinity=4), assuming current STR=25, against an Enemy with a Stat-Up value of 25.

25-((25+4)+0-10)
25-(19)
D=6

Note, that if we assumed Current STR=50,

50-((50+4)+0-10)
50-(44)
D=6

we get the same result. This simplifies the first half of the formula to:

10-(innate growth factor)=D

This inflates the worth of the innate growth factor immensely. (Which is good because this topic seeks to display the unique strengths between PCs.)

From here, all Difficulty values were converted to Chances (C). The 'ideal' playthrough assumes that a character only uses 1 type of action in any given battle (to maximize chances for getting associated abilities).

Using our Fei-On STR example (Fei-On only trains in Martial Arts, which has an Action Growth Factor of 4 to STR):
(31*4)/(1*4)=F
31=F

So the final chance for Fei-On to increase his STR in any given battle is 31%.

Since the 'ideal' playthrough assumes that Fei-On will fight exactly 200 battles (this is only possible in a vaccuum, since there's no way to get Fei-On without fighting -anything- beforehand, but this is a theoretical topic); he is most likely to gain 31% of 200 possible points of STR.

So his final STR will be a combination of his initial STR, his growth (+62), and his best storebought equipment's boosts. (Coincidentally, this example is the only one that hits the true cap of 99 for Humans.)

For character's training in multiple starting actions, the same calculations were performed for each type of action, then averaged together based on the number of different action types. This would simulate the aforementioned scenario with Roufas.


Human PC 'ideal' skillsets:

This part is even more theoretical, and based on the idea that a PCs' starting abilities and unique abilities are indicative of their unique usefulness, since they already have a headstart on those sets of skills than most of the other PCs.

Thus, humans with starting spells are assumed to get all spells of the given school. Humans with starting swordskills are assumed to be training with swords. Humans with starting martial arts skills are assumed to be training in martial arts. Humans with starting gunskills are assumed to be training with guns. Humans with starting martial arts skills and starting spells are assumed to be training in one, and then the other, for an example of a mixed build. Asellus is assumed to be learning Mystic abilities as well.

For sword skills and martial arts, each PC has an innate talent of learning one of the individual sword/fist skills, or not. If the PC does -not- have the talent for learning a certain skill, their chance of learning it can never be higher than 1/256. With the talent, this chance is much higher, and so it is assumed that PCs training in swords and martial arts are only learning the skills for which they have an innate talent, to further emphasize each PCs' uniqueness.

For swordskills, only characters who have claim to a Katana (Gen and Roufas) can use Katana-dependent skills.

For martial arts, there is one ability, called DSC (Dream Super Combo?), which is only available upon learning four other martial arts skills. No PC has the talent to learn all four of these skills, but if a martial arts-using PC had 3 or more of the required skills on their talent list, then DSC was considered for their skillset.

Each PC's talent list was found by Zaraktheus in his Mechanics Guide.

Mystic PC 'ideal' notes:

Mystics can naturally grow certain stats in the same manner as Human PCs, namely HP, WP, JP, and CHA. These were calculated in the same manner.

Additionally, because Mystics cannot learn Sword, Gun, or Martial Arts skills, they were permitted to Train in Swords (to increase some much-needed WP) if their starting equipment included a sword. Otherwise, they all trained in Magic (they all start with the Mystic Magic Gift) and 'Other' (all Mystic Absorb skills fall under this).

Mystics were allowed to absorb their choice of the commonly-found random enemies at max Battle Rank. They were also allowed to equip their choice of common storebought equipment.

Most of Mystic's 'unique-ness' is seen in the form of their starting spells, some of which are even entirely unique to a given Mystic (Rei, Zozma, and TimeLord to a certain extent).



Mec PC 'ideal' notes:

Mecs do not increase their stats. Their stats rely entirely on their starting stats + their equipment, which boost Mecs considerably more than other races.

All Mecs have some fixed equipment to determine their base stats, and they were allowed any combination of storebought weapons to play to their strengths.

Mecs learn skills by absorbing enemy Mecs and 'downloading' programs (skills) from them. This method is entirely dependent on the enemy mec.

However, Mecs also learn skills innately, through 'Self-Development'. Everytime they download an enemy Mec and do -not- learn a skill, they have a chance of learning one of their innate skills. Only these skills were considered for the purposes of uniqueness, and Mec equipment choices are based on maximizing their potential with those skills.

Note that to use the program 'ShootAll', which deals a great deal of damage, a 'Memory-Board'-type piece of equipment must be worn by a Mec. Because Memory Boards are not storebought, only Mecs who had Memory Boards as a piece of Starting Equipment can use this.

In her own scenario, T260G has the ability to transform into other Mec-types. Because Type1, Type7, and Type8 bodies are exclusive to T260G, she has her choice of these forms and their associated skills.



Monster PC 'ideal' notes:

Monster stats are based entirely on their ability to transform into other Monsters by absorbing abilities from them. They also gain 4 HP permanently every time they absorb a new skill. Since there are less than 200 of these skills in the game, it is reasonable to allow each monster to absorb all possible skills that they can get to exhibit their unique max 'Prime HP' stat.

Note that this does not imply that every monster is allowed to use every monster ability, this is simply a theoretical 'ideal' for displaying one of their few unique traits.

'Endgame' monster forms were determined by a Monster's starting skills. Monsters were allowed forms that shared required abilities with their individual starting skills, and were allowed to supplement their skills to get the desired form assuming they kept as many of their starting skills as possible.

For example, Riki is assumed to be using the Black Dragon form as he can keep all of his starting skills and still obtain this form, which requires one of his starting skills, TailHit (or Tail). He could also opt for, say, the Red Dragon form under the same criteria, but the Black Dragon generally has more utility and is his assumed default.

Monsters can only equip accessory-type items, so while these were generally excluded from other races' setups, Monsters have a strong claim to them and were allowed to equip the best storebought accessories.

Additionally, since they are only obtainable in Riki's scenario, Riki has a strong claim to the Ring accessories and was allowed to equip those.

Mystics

Mystics cannot increase their stats like a human PC. Instead they rely on equipment and 'Mystic Absorbs' to power up. They can defeat and absorb monsters into one of three pieces of natural equipment (their Mystic sword, boots, and gloves) to increase their stats and give them skills (often similar to the ones the monster used).

For pure utility, there's only a handful of Absorbs that every Mystic wants, and I've limited their selection only to easily-repeatable battles.

Additionally, here's a list of all the possibly-useful Mystic absorbs. Note that if Mystics want to use one of these, they'll have to sacrifice some stats to absorb the new associated monster:

Mystic Absorb Skills of potential use:
Healing
MagicHeal - 3 WP - Restores HP and Cures Status
Assist - 2 WP - Raises Stats, ST Ally
Spoil - 2 WP - Lowers Stats, ST Enemy
Da-dum - 0 WP - Raises STR and QUI, MT Party

Basic Physical options (Best damage vs. no-WP usage)
TigerRampage - 8 WP
Lance - 0 WP

Status Effects
Assasinate - 7 WP - Physical attack, ID
GriffithScratch - 7 WP - Physical Attack, Adds Paralysis
Crystalizer - 7 WP - Non-Elemental Attack, Adds petrify
MysteryTap - 3 WP - Adds Mess, MT Enemy
Flash - 2 WP - Adds Blind, MT enemy
PoisonusBlow - 2 WP - Physical attack, Adds poison 
Psych-out - 1 WP - Adds Stun
BloodSucker - 1 WP - Steals HP
Hypnotism - 0 WP - Adds Sleep
Suffocation - 5 WP - ID
PsyNet - 4 WP - Adds paralysis, MT Enemy
BladeNet - 3 WP - Physical Attack, Adds paralysis
Sweep - 0 WP - Adds Stun

Mecs
All Mecs can opt to change their storebought equipment for any other storebought equipment. They may wish to do this to get more weapon options. Note that Circuit Boards are not storebought, so they can only equip those if they had one initially equipped. A Circuit Board boosts INT and is required to use ShootAll, so several Mecs may opt for this.

Note: These boosts only apply to Mecs.

LaserScope: HP +100, INT +20, WIL +20


The Intelligence stat plays a role in how many skills a Mecs can equip. It appears to work under the following trend:

91+ INT - 8 skill slots
76-90 INT - 7
61-75 INT - 6
46-60 INT - 5
31-45 INT - 4
>30 INT - 3
I don't believe it goes below 3 skill slots.

Note that Mecs are immune to non-Mec-specific statuses.

T260G is only Mech which can switch body types. It is also the only Mech with access to the Type 1, 7, and 8 bodies. For most purposes, its Type 8 form will be best, though the other forms have some uses. Due to its ability to change body types, T260G can learn any Self-Development skill, though some can only be used in certain body types. All Type 8 Mechs are always equipped with a MegaBeamSword, V-System, and Fort Body. Since T260G does not come with a CircuitBoard-type piece of equipment, it cannot use ShootAll. (Type 1 Mechs only have one locked equipment slot, the MecBody; so this form has the most equipment diversity. Type 7 Mechs are always equipped with a Hammer, MicroMissile, and MecBody. They have access to a unique Hammer ability.)
The rest of its equipment is storebought. Its skills are either innately equipped to its type or learned through Self-Development. It can equip up to 6 skills in any form, but may sacrifice some offense or durability to boost its INT higher for more skill slots.

Monsters

Monsters don't have a lot of uniqueness among them, but this section is dedicated to showing what a typical monster can become by endgame by giving them high-level monster forms based on their starting abilities. Monsters can only equip accessories, so they are granted the use of four storebought or unique accessories in this section. In addition to their starting abilities and the additional abilities needed to attain higher-level forms, Monsters can utilize a wide range of abilities that other races don't have access to, giving them an interesting niche if you consider this.

Thunder starts with the skills Feint, GroundHit, Dash, and BoltBreath available. The best endgame form that uses any of these skills is the OgreLord, which also requires absorbing the skill Thunderbolt. Note that the RockScout is another possibly useful endgame form, but I went with OgreLord as the default due to its clear relation to Thunder's starting form.

Skills:
GroundHit 5 WP - Earth Attack, Causes Stun
Dash - 2 WP - Physical Attack
Feint - 1 WP - Causes Stun

Suzaku starts with the skills FireBreath, FireBarrier, Wing, and GliderSpike available. His initial form, the unique SuzakuJr., is already a decent endgame form, so it's a good representation of his usefulness. The GriffinJr. form is a slightly more powerful generic alternative, though.

I've never see any human PC break 900 HP before. 850ish is the highest I've seen.

[OblivionKnight]

Grind moar.

In other news - I love you and want to marry you, Djinn.  Do you have a calculation procedure for doing hard-style damage numbers? 

[Talaysen]

Since the 'ideal' playthrough assumes that Fei-On will fight exactly 200 battles (this is only possible in a vaccuum, since there's no way to get Fei-On without fighting -anything- beforehand, but this is a theoretical topic); he is most likely to gain 31% of 200 possible points of STR.

This seems like arbitrarily boosting the stats of people who join later because they somehow fight the same number of battles.  It's like saying a character who joins at L35 halfway through a game that has endgame L70 still gets 70 levels and ends up at L105 (well okay, maybe only 50 levels due to EXP-to-level scaling, but that doesn't change the point).

Also if there's an enemy stat up cap at 75, then once a character hits 76, they should still be considered hitting things with 75 stat up.

Also don't agree with giving monsters storebought accessories just because they can't equip anything else.

Don't remember how monster transformation worked in this game, so can't really comment there.

That all said, great job here.  Been looking for a much more accurate SaGa Frontier stat topic for awhile and you've got a really good start here.  Have fun with damages!

Also if there's an enemy stat up cap at 75, then once a character hits 76, they should still be considered hitting things with 75 stat up.

The problem as you probably know is that every character in the game has pre-determined statistics no matter "when" in relative terms you get them to join, so what exactly happens to those people?

[Talaysen]

Assume approximately how many battles they would fight if they were recruited at earliest possible time.  So if the first time you can recruit character X is a quarter of the way into the game, they fight 150 battles.

[DjinnAndTonic]

But the game length is variable too...

How do you determine a quarter of "This game could take anywhere from 5 to 40 hours"?

It should be noted that this really only applies to Fei-On and Doll. They are the only humans who can't be recruited after an opening scene or starting the right quest.

[Talaysen]

I don't understand what you mean.

If you fight around 50 battles before getting character X and about 200 more battles before the final boss, then character X is gotten around the 20% point.  I wouldn't do it by hours since hours have nothing to do with how the characters level up: battles do.

Unless you mean because different paths have different lengths, then just use the one they can get recruited earliest in, compared to the path length.

[Monkeyfinger]

Unless you mean because different paths have different lengths, then just use the one they can get recruited earliest in, compared to the path length.

He's saying everyone other than Fei-on and Doll has a path in which they can be gotten right at the start, I think

[Talaysen]

Then it only matters for Fei-On and Doll, but it DOES matter for them.

[alanna82]

Actually can't Fei On be recruited right away in Emelia's quest after she completes her "starting senario"? She has a rune already so she can access Fei=ons dungeon if she starts the rune quest, which requires no battles to start.

She might have to do the sewer "mission" first, but I think you can avoid battling there.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Oh, that's right. I rarely use Fei-On, so I never bother getting him that early. Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, so it only applies to Doll, who is only in Red's story anyway, so that should make it easier to figure out how many battles you could have encountered before getting her.

With characters that are available in multiple paths, it's little weirder because different paths are different lengths, and you still have the question of whether or not to include the Magic quests... and how many. I went with 200 battles as a reasonable average of multiple playthroughs, but when you try to dissect it too closely to figure out how many battles is actually reasonable for a single path and a single PC... it's much more messy and the figure may not apply as accurately.

Take Fei-On, since we're talking about him. In Asellus, Riki, Red, and T260G's paths, you have to fight their opening battles before you can start the Rune Quest to get to Tanzer so you can get Fei-On. In Blue and Lute's paths, you can start the Rune Quest immediately, but you have to get at least one Rune before you can go to Tanzer to get Fei-On, which implies battling. In Emelia's path, you can go to Tanzer right after her opening sequence (which has some battles, and all but one is avoidable). Once you get him in one of the paths, though, then you have a question of how many -more- battles are there? Red and Riki have pretty long paths that follow (probably more than 200 battles worth). Asellus, T260G, and Emelia have more average-length paths (with roughly 200 battles total). Blue's path is variable in length due to being able to pick your favorite Magic Quests (and whether or not the credits rolling after the Rouge duel counts as 'over'). Lute's path is really really short, with far less the average 200 battles, unless you include the Magic Quests. And all of the paths have the option of including the Magic Quests or not, which are basically the main meat of the game itself, despite being optional.

Does this help explain why I would want to just use an average number of battles and ignore 'later-joining on average PCs should fight fewer-than-average battles'?

Assume approximately how many battles they would fight if they were recruited at earliest possible time.  So if the first time you can recruit character X is a quarter of the way into the game, they fight 150 battles.

There is one more problem is saying this. As the predetermined states is not scaled toward when they join. Rather, how many cycles you play the game.

Yeah, there is that. But I just assumed 0 previous playthroughs (or finishing the previous playthrough at a low battle rank - same result) for base stats for all PCs.

The best way to do it would be to get stats for every path.  That's a lot of work, so it's why I'm not suggesting that in practice.

Here's what I'm saying.

Assume character X can be recruited after 50 battles in path A where there are 250 battles total, as well as after 45 battles in path B where there are 200 battles total.  In path A, that's 20% in, while in path B that's 22.5% in.  Despite path B being earlier in number of battles, character X is "earlier" in path A, so use that one.

Now you used an endgame of 200 battles.  So character X is assumed to fight 80% of 200 battles: 160.  Use that.

I'm not arguing against your "just use 200 battles path lengths be damned" part, just the fact that if a PC is forced to join later than "right away", then they should not get the benefit of fighting stuff when they weren't even around.  Like my example earlier, it's like saying someone joins at L35 midway through the game gets the same 60 levels or whatever as the people who joined at L1 in the beginning.  No, they're all taken at L60, because the rest of your party would be at around L35 there too!  It's the same thing here, people are going to have more than their starting stats when they meet character X.

Tala, the example you use doesn't work. As stated before, SF does not scale your character's state against hour game progress.
There is no character with lv.35 that joins in mid way in SF, it is impossible.
Because this is assuming that the character has a level scaled up to lv.35 because you already progress into the mid game.

In SF, the states are scaled against how many cycle of games you played and there is a threshold on how high their base states can be. And if using their first cycle states, they always have the minimum of the predetermined states. In other words, it is VP1 hard mode, assuming you use first cycle states, everyone starts with lv.1 regardless when they join, and the only way to have every character to get a fair share of states is to have them all fight identical amount of fights.

BTW, Djinn, does enemy rank affects state up rates?

Most Human PCs start with relatively similar base stats. Lute's and Meilin's are notably worse than most. Captain Hamilton's and Fei-On's are notably a little higher.

Enemy rank affects stat growth more than anything else in the game actually. But because that's not unique to any PC, I just set these equal to whatever the PC's current stat was to essentially null out the bonus that Enemy rank grants. Instead these stats reflect a PC's innate growth rate at its maximum effectiveness.

Also as a sidenote (though obvious at this point), Timelord far prefers GriffithScratch over MagicHeal, just for his typical "I Overdrive and explode you before you act" schtick.
