I've been using this on a steam save, shortly after the theatre ship crashes. The first time I made changes, everything saved fine and dandy, I however was stupid and forgot I was still going to be changing gear around.
This of course reset my stats on Zidane, and of course means it will happen as I adjust gear in game with other characters.
So, I tried editing stats/gear again on the same steam save, but nothing sticks but the level and experience. Has anyone had this same experience, and a fix?
There's a workaround for that though i'm still in the middle of testing it. I did the test at Evil Forest. Using Memoria & equipping Zidane with the best stat raising gear according to KADFC max stat guide. I reset his level everytime he reach level 3 or 4(I save each time before level reset).
To my surprise the stats that you gain through gear stays even after you reset your level. I thought it was a fluke at first but it's not. Leveling up & changing gear would make the game recalculate stats, right? I did both & de equip everything except dagger but extra stats stays.
Currently, i'm testing magic stone growth. It seems even after level reset, at least partial of magic stone increase you gain would still intact. Not confirmed, but i assume you could reach 99 magic stone using level reset method. The in game cheat is much faster though. Just activates it, you get 99 magic stone & it stays even if you reset level(You'll definitely want to reset because that in-game cheat sucks for stats.You'll only get base level 99 stats, no extra.)
