Does ?????'s Love doesn't really show increased Attack stat?

I've read here that it increases the Attack stat by 99 if maxed (already got it to 20 something).
When I equip it on Cecil, his Attack stat remains the same. Is it invisible or I'm just missing something? Someone enlighten me, please. Thanks. :)

I'm playing the iOS version, by the way. But I asked here since this board seems more active.

I think it just boosts the power of whatever weapon you're using. I'm not sure if weapons increase your attack (I could be wrong).

Not sure how different the iOS version is, but on the DS there is a help window on the bottom screen that shows information like enemy HP, weak/resist, what weapon you have equipped, it's ATK and accuracy.

When I am selecting the target for ???'s Love it displays Cecil's ATK as (Base)+(99).
So my guess is ???'s Love adds the bonus when attacking, not while it is equipped.

You only get the bonus when you use the move in battle. As crazy said, it should show the bonus when you go to use the ability... though I'm not sure how it would show such in the iOS version

Oh so it only activates the bonus when I use the ???'s Love command in battle?
After using it, my next attacks will have the attack bonus? Did i get that right?
If so, will any other attacks like the normal Attack command and offensive spells such as Ultima via Twincast will also get the boost?

Sorry for all the questions, I just wanna fully understand this augment. And thanks a bunch for the replies, guys. :)

No, that's not it at all.

?????'s Love is literally just "Attack" with bonus damage based on how much you've used Cover (in the iOS version). It doesn't add up or apply to other moves. Just for the ability itself, it gains the increased Attack, and nothing else.

I see now. I guess I just kind of got confused with your Near-Stat-Maxing guide (which I've been following, btw), I thought ????'s Love will also increase Ultima's damage. I missed the part where aside from Ultima getting the most out of Limit Break, ????'s Love will also utilize the Limit Break.

Thanks a bunch for clarifying things for me. Really. I appreciate your guide as well. You helped me a lot. Again, thanks! :)

No problem, Redrum. Anytime you got a question, feel free to ask here or on the iOS version board. I frequent both, or at least lurk there, since the same questions asked there end up here anyways. :P
