In a min-maxing environment, however, those 15 points can make a difference.
This is really, really frustrating, especially considering how easily you can switch between classes. Jobs shouldn't be any different in that regard, but depending on how costly resetting your attribute points will be, this is just... incredibly silly. That and I find the whole mechanic of attribute points utterly uninspired (there's pretty much no actually interesting decision-making in this - you take whatever primary stat your class/job utilizes and put all points in it).
Hngh.

Gear has stat caps, which means there is only so much of a given stat you can add materia for until you have to add something else. Stats like MND, INT, STR and such tend to come very close to if not completely capped on the gear itself, which means materia is going to be used for 1) capping out a base stat if it hasn't already, and then 2) secondary stats such as spell/attack speed and such.
So yes, you do lose something by going 15/15. You lose 15 whole points of your primary stat. It doesn't matter if you end up being able to slot 15 points of MND or whatever in materia - in the end, you're still short 15 points from where you would be if you had gone full 30.
