Topic: The Back Row

[Deathlike2]

I might be wrong for the one handed weapon penalty (I've yet to find a sane method of testing it)...

However, the penalty to Edge is significant...



Stats and equipment:





The penalty murders Edge significantly.

Ok, I did some proper analysis on this.

An attacker that attacks a target that is in the back row will have the following happen:

Hit Rate is reduced by 1/2.
The target's defense is doubled.

From testing, this appears to be the case.. after seeing Rosa take damage in the low 100s with how I normally set her up in FF4.

  Fixed my incorrect analysis.

It looks like monsters do actually adhere to the back row rule themselves... this excludes the GBA port though.
