Unfortunately there are no instructions for the game to explain the abbreviations and menus!

PP = Power Points = attack strength
DP = Defense Points = defense against non-magic attacks
AP = Agility points = dodge and speed
LP = luck points = hit enemies with attacks that wouldn't normally hit them such as melee'ing airborne enemies
MA = magic attack strength
MD = magic defense

The Genesis and Dreamcast physical versions came with REALLY nice manuals. Would be awesome if someday the PS4 version got a limited physical release but i doubt it'll ever happen =(

Thanks a lot, I did not find it on google.

There was also a Gamefaqs faq/walkthrough by Tim333 (who sadly passed away a few years ago) here which discusses what the abbreviations mean.

He also did the physical strategy guide for the game that came out shortly after the HD remaster was released. Also, seems LP also involves the chance of critical hits as well.

I have already found that today, and in the end the game is really hard to find its right way. I'm happy when I'm through and can clear it. The last boss is really bad!
