Yeah, almost all FF games have that system.

Anyway, we actually DO know the answer to some of that from the author's ability lists. The "divine protections" he gets from eating mobs appears to simply be boosts to those t ypes of attacks. It doesn't appear to allow him to say...breathe fire...or grant him any real resistance to attacks of that type.

The author would have probably put that in the ability's description in his ability list if that was the case, tbh.

Anyway, onto answering the questions~

First off, you can read the partially translated ability list HERE. I've been translating it as I encounter abilities while translating/checking translations in general...so it's only partially populated (1/4 done i'd say...hard to give a real # there). Anyway, here's what extra notes he gives about the abilities.

 Ability Count  Current number of abilities obtained from eating: 433 Number of abilities that have been obtained via Synthesis: 53 Number of abilities that have been synthesized and are no longer used: 150

 Notes on Reducers  Reduction = 25% redurction in damage. Tolerance = 50% reduction in damage. Complete Tolerance = 75% reduction in damage. Nullification = 100% reduction in damage.

Ability effectiveness increases with repeated use, but it becomes a problem of balance when Reduction and Tolerance are used together, so they will reduce damage by 60% in this case.

As for all the attribute resistances increasing as the abilities are used, the reduction effects will be lower than the next version of the ability. Well, something will be done with the ability numbers by force.

By the way, are they invincible if it's like this? Although you'd likely think that's the case, there are still a lot of enemy characters that can instantly kill him in his current condition, since there are generally species with the abilities "Attacks Ignore Defenses", "Resistances Ineffective", or other things like that.



Basically...they DO stack, but if you stack two of them, you won't get both %'s...but only part of the second one. Even if he DOES became capable of nullifying damage (he can do this for SOME attack types already, but not many)...there are species out there that are capable of ignoring (some) defenses/resistances.

Hope that helps. ^^
