Which stat from RPGs is the most important?

Defense is best at first...then magic defense is good later for the tougher bosses. But all in all, defensive is the way I go.

Depends on the character.

I\'ve reall got NOOOOOOOOOOO idea.

Well, really it depends on what kind of RPG player you are.

I picked the wisdom thingy since I love special FX and that it usually does some good splash damage.
Also, the more spells you learn the more you can alter your ability. But, all of this is my opinion

ATTACK POWER AND DEFENSE! if you can take away 999999 HPand take lots of damage....NONTHING CAN STOP YOU!:muha:

I like magic because it beats out physical attack, but HP is good too. High HP + Strong Magical Power = GOOD.

I cant vote...Too...con..fuse..ing....

AND DO NOT HOLD UP THAT SIGN! Anyway...I\'d say evasion...cuz if you can dodge heavy bullets, then you can send in yours.

Actually, in an RPG, a characters appearance is a pretty big factor, one that you left out. Almost everyone uses the characters they think look cool, despite how they are in battle.... =P

You\'ve got a point there, Necro..sorta. But I usually just end up using whoever, depending on their abilities and stuff.. I use Rinoa, even though I hate her..heh. I use Cid, just to level up materia.. I use Marle just because she can heal well..stuff like that.

I think speed and defense,then attack but we must not forget MP without MP how would magic be used?

Heh, this can take a long while before we get some good solid results.

BTW, does this have anything to do with a game that you are currently playing or is it just out of curiosity ?:conf:

Most RPG games will give you automatic upgrades/stats when you grow in levels.

I based my \'results\' from all the RPGS I\'ve played..on average or whatever. Like I said before, if you can live through a fight with high defense, then..that\'s good. o.o

I just get my characters up to level 99 and wipe the floor with em, usually..heh. That\'s why it takes me weeks/months to play RPGs..

HP!
Out of the ones up there, though, I say Magic Defense. Magic attacks are usually the strongest attacks there are and can devastate you if you\'re weak in Magic Defense, so it\'s important to have plenty of M-Defense.

Actually... name yourself Martine and you become an instant god (as this image will demonstrate).

Magic... That\'s all I can say.

i voted for intelligence magic is always the strongest so its better to make it stronger

It\'s HP for me !(hey, that rymed, and that was misspelt)

[font=Stencil]DUDE[/font] where is the HP!? I NEED HP TO VOTE...! High HP, and agilty will help anyone.

DEFENSE IS THE BEST!!!

I played some old snes RPGs (I LOVE LUFIA!!!) And if you use defense-raising spells and/or abilities like Barrier in pokemon, Courage on Lufia or Steel clothes on Legend of mana they can help you a lot if you affect the opponent stats, Like poisoning hime/her
Wisdom is also good but I use it to raise my physical atk and def

PD I LOVE LUFIA!!!!

defense cause 90% of rpg enemys are phisical so...defense its better...attack isnt smart cause ud die faster...and ud be slower..with defense you also do more damage with attacks that bash gash ect...attack is just for slice chop cut ect.. you get my drift :conf::conf:

Defense is most important at first, but later on you will need attack and all. Yeah like the Doc said, where is HP?

I say... attack? I know it\'s old fashoned, but I still believe in the basic neccessity of being able to club someone out real gud...

By the way NetHunter, that was a 3 year bump!:eek:

If you have great evasion, then, practically no attacks will hit you. So, even if you have really low strenght, defense, or magic, it doesn\'t matter. Not getting hit, ever, garuntees a win, even if it takes a really long time. =p

Hp and strength is good at best.


Warrior+large hp+great strength= w00t

Evasion!!! If you are struck down, Game Over. I always have the Evasion level higher than the rest. That is, until I beat the game, then I decide what they really need. But until that moment, EVASION!!:P

I don\'t care about what was said about \"90% of enemies being physical\". Not in the games I play!! I need MAGIC DEFENSE!! Magic is the most powerful and therefor should have the most caution put up against.
Don\'t (NEVER) underestimate the power of your opponent\'s magic!!

It depends on what game your playing.One of these stats could be the best stat for a certain game.So you really cant say which one is the best,unles you specify a certain game
