1) does battle voice effect foes requiem? If so how? I mean I can see how it would effect Ballad or Peon.. it would just increase how much mp/hp is recovered compared to how much youd get without it

2) did they make Cure 3 aoe now or something? Ive seen multiple WHMs talk about stacking close together so they can use "c3" last i checked cure 3 is single target so why would stacking on top of eachother effect it in anyway?

3) Do stats have caps on this game like they did in FFXI? If so why do devs even make caps? I mean what would be the point of having gear sets that could for example give my melee dps 1000 str if additional str does nothing after 500? Might as well just make 500 the higher str you can get from armor/buffs/food then wouldnt you say?

4) Animus tomes, back when zodiac was first announce ppl (including on this board) said only 4 of there 9 (or 12? ) tomes were available now and the rest would be unlocked with future patches.... yet I hear of people saying they have xxx/9 books done? Shouldnt it be xxx/4?

1) Of course Battle Voice affects Foe Requiem.
2) Cure 3 has always (at least since ARR) been an AOE centered on the target. It's in the tooltip. Medica is an AOE centered on the caster.
3) It depends on the stat, but most stats have some form of caps or soft caps. There are plenty of reasons for designing the maximum abilities of player characters, I'm not explaining game design theory here.
4) I guess you've never heard of progression unlocking more options in anything before.

Cure 3 has always been AOE, but it's a small radius. That's why nobody every uses it except in Titan and a few other fights where the group is tightly packed during large AOE damage.

No idea on the rest

#4: You asked the exact same question in another thread and then ignored the response:

I a only imagine how horrible getting atma is for more than one job but im sure as time goes on theyll make it easier, also... you mention 13500 myth to upgrade but i thought only 3-4 of the 9 books are even available now? which means you cant even USE all 13500 myth now even if you had them? so Im under the impression that as of now the future updates will only include unlocking more books" which will give you better stats but still not increase your il.


Incorrect.

There are 4 categories of books available, 9 total.

Basically it equates to

3 Primary Stat Books
2 Secondary Books
2 Vit Books
2 Something else Books

Each books is worth +2 of that stat.

That depends on the weapon as all the book raise the stats that are currently on the Zenith version of the weapon, nothing else currently.
