JRPG logic

The joke is that it doesn't make sense in any way you look at it. Characters with low def do not take up tank positions. You'd normally want to boost the stats thst are already really good (agility, attack, magic) -- also, a shield and magic-attacks don't have anything in common. That bit is either poorly translated, or the author makes up goofy mechanics up his arse.

I think the author means that a magic caster with low defense stats would take up a shield to protect himself from attacks while casting spells in return.

Yeah, thanks Captain Obvious.

But have you played a JRPG before? Some of them are really quite strange.

Also, it's fairly common to give characters with low defense a shield to patch up their weakness, is it not? Or are you the type to ignore that?

I don't think of many RPGs where I'd put a shield on my low defense characters. Usually I'd ramp up their dex or their mp and have them in the back lines.

I don't get page 14. How did he think there is no way to get along from that? Huh?

Do you...?
A character with low def is usually designed to be squeeshy, like mage, archer, rogue, etc.
If they are not balanced for def, they usually are meant to dodge attacks, or just not expect to take any directly (skills to prevent dmg). Putting on a shield on such a character is a huge waste of equip-slots.
