Bringing this thread back from the dead to ask a question: When checking to equip a new weapon should I look for the weapon that gives me the best Total Melee Attack even if it drops my Melee Attack stat?

While I'm at it, what the hell does the Potential stat do?

Potential is the most important thing in the game. I'm not even sure how it works, but if you raise as much as you can, your attacks are going to be more lethal. 

 

potential affects how much HP u will recover by responding the "shout" from ur teammates and also increase the affectiveness of TP arts (arts that use TP). If u have high potential, defence doesnt really matter as long as u respond to ur teammates as u will get lots of hp recovered. furthermore, TP arts like blossom dance (big sword) and other damage arts will caused huge amount of damage to the enemy. 

i dont think potential affect the original "agility" though.. the original "agility" has been replaced by evasion and accuracy.
