Do 2nd/3rd gen growth rates actually work in the same manner as in Awakening?

i.e. Actual Growth Rate = (Personal Growth Rate + Mother's Growth Rate + Father's Growth Rate)/3

I imagine that this would be harder to verify, given RNG and the need to take statistics over many levels and characters.

You can look for borderline cases. That's how I checked it in Awakening.

Like characters who have 98% and 103% growths.

Dunno who can actually get that high though XD

That, and I won't have the game until 2016, so I cannot directly check myself, only ask for information from other people.

I suppose that you could do something like marrying someone with extreme stat growth in one area (like Kagerou's 65 strength or Orochi's 65 magic) and marry them off to a father/have them mother a child where the stat in question has very low growth rates. Then you could see if those maternal growth rates significantly elevated these beyond expectation…. particularly if they also horribly stunt the other stat, such that the character should normally be stronger in the other stat but instead will grow to be weaker in it.

For example, Orochi gives 5 strength and 65 magic, right?

So someone could pair com one with bad magic and medicocre strength with Orochi and see what happens… I've calculated, for example, that an Orochi!Matoi, for example, would have a 33.33% magic growth if Awakening growth inheritance works, compared to a 15% growth for her listed personal growths. Likewise, her listed personal growths would suggest 35% strength, but Orochi would sap it down to 23.333%.

Granted, this method wouldn't be precise enough for the correct formula, but getting more than twice the expected magic growth and subpar physical growth would be a clear giveaway that stat growths were inherited, if this does happen to be the case.

Orochi doesn't have to be the test subject mother, nor Matoi the test subject child, of course… its just an example.
