Item Suggestions for Mercenaries

[k3yblad3]

Someone before me mentioned scythes.

I must also state that I would love to see scythes. However, and I'm thinking this might be impossible, or just about. I don't know much about spiriting, but I'm thinking you'd have to create a whole entire new set of sprites for these. Basically, its guns.

When I first played fft and saw Mustadio, I thought sweet, guns. After a while, the guns seemed pretty lame. What I'm thinking is You could create a job class based off of guns or perhaps an entire job tree. Start with Gunner, then it branches to Machine Gunner and Blaster. Finally it ends with Gunslinger and Grenade Gunner.

I have a ton of other ideas for this, so if you're interested I'll post them here.

what about fans? i think it would have made more sense for characters like dancers to have things like that

Fans eh? Well Poles do need replaced, and they do have an item called Iron Fan... but which item animation would be sacrificed for such? Since there isn't really any Dancer like class left, with Females only as guests or enemies, there really isn't any class where that would fit, it seems...

[Zozma]

i have no idea what you could replace to get those. it would probably swing similarly to a sword or the axes/ maces etc .. but i guess if theres no jobs that it would go well with then perhaps not. whips would be cool too but again what would one replace for them

[boomkick]

Whip? Use a throwing kind of animation or a swinging animation?

Fans need a slashing motion or a stabbing motion if the fan is closed.

Ah, of course! Whips can be replaced with the old flail graphic. Which has a full three animations to use for such.
