Quote from: "Vanya"That is why we have True Blood & the Vampire Chronicles before that and Bram Stoker's Dracula before that.
Neil Gaiman did a pretty interesting interview on the subject of vampires in pop culture:

I feel kind of special when someone pukes in my car.  Like, there are a lot of places in this world where, if you just hunch over and vomit your guts out, it is NOT OKAY.  I like for people to feel that, at least when they're in my company, they can retch all they want and I won't judge them.  As long as they're intelligent.  I have odd criteria concerning the kind of people whose sick I'm willing to clean.

I love this thread.

I love Canadian writer/photographer duos.  They make the best stuff this side of the Atlantic.

Is it really essential to have a Catoblepas/Basilisk?  If you're looking for a horned, bull-like beast, you already have Behemoths and even Minotaurs to fill that role.  If you want something with petrifying powers, like a Basilisk or Shoat's stone gaze type abilities, you've already got the mighty Cockatrice and it's Beak of peckish doom.

Even though they're enemies present in plenty of earlier games, they really just don't feel unique enough, considering the role that a Catoblepas would play is already well covered in FFT.  Unless you wanted to remove avians for lizard-bulls or somesuch.  Which would be even more sprite work.

Ovelia must have had her M-Barrier down at the end of the game.  Alas, Delita WAS looking quite dapper.

Quote from: "thi13en"an idea for bosses though, instead of giving huge amount of hp and innate, why not use this?
Bigger numbers are more fun.  Hitting something with 100,000 HP for 999 just feels better than tinking something with 200 HP for 2.

HP represents physical and magical absorption in one stat!  Less complicated this way.

Especially glad ye liked my Goblin and Bone Snatch, LD.  Ashamed I missed Silence!  I managed to catch myself on all its other occurrences, but I didn't filter the spell itself.  FAIL.

Some random ability ideas. http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/ is a pretty good place for inspiration and cobbling together ideas from other games.  Not that I've REALLY done so.  Abilities unchanged from vanilla except where noted.

Chocobo -
Choco Cure
Choco Esuna
Choco Ball
Choco Meteor

Goblin -
Goblin Punch - physical damage with chance to cancel charging
Turn Punch
Magic Hammer - MP damage, 2 or 3 range (Magic Break formula?)
Frog Drop - low magic damage with chance to add Frog

Bomb -
Self-Destruct
Burn - a la Invoker
Flamethrower - 2 panel linear fire damage
Burn Wave - Spark, but doesn't heal the Bomb, so they're more likely to use Self-Destruct when critical

Cuar -
Poison Nail - physical damage with poison
Shock - Invoker
Life Drain
Blaster

Mindflare -
Dominate - add charm
Odd Soundwave
Aqua Rake/Aqualung/Aquabreath - moderate water damage
Freeze - Invoker
Mind Blast - random confusion/berserk/addle

Bone Snatch -
Ancient Armor - self protect, Sandstorm animation
Shadow Lance - linear dark damage
Hollow Sword - sword skill with chance to add undead
Deathbloom - cancel all status effects on target, deal 1/3 (1/2?) HP damage (Death formula)

Ghoul -
Cold Touch - ice damage, chance to add slow
Sleep Touch
Silence
Spirit Surge - Invoker
Dark Chant - Invoker
Phantom Cry - magic damage, add darkness, Draw Out aoe

Ahriman -
Gale - Invoker
Look of Devil
Death Sentence
Circle
Demi/Demi 2

Cockatrice -
Feather Bomb - wind physical damage
Beak
??? really not sure what else to do here
Monk's Radiant Claw?
Warder's Slice Tendon?

Treant -
Tranquility - heals MP
Shelter - adds protect and shell to surrounding units
White Wind - heals HP in Draw Out radius
Enchant - low chance to add sleep in aoe, or moderate chance to single target (whichever sounds better)

Iron Giant -
got nothing at the moment

Minotaur -
Snort - 1/2 HP damage to target with float, cancel float (death formula)
Tremor - Invoker
Ogre Run - Monk
Earth Rave - 4-hit earth magic damage, 1 range, 1 aoe, does not hit caster
Earth Heal - self regen

Malboro -
Engulf - Invoker
Goo - 2 range, 1 aoe, high chance of don't move
Lick - self or 1 range heal
Bad Breath - same, but adds all or nothing poison/addle/confusion/darkness

Behemoth -
Sudden Cry/Heave
Meteor - high physical damage in 1 aoe of caster, Meteorain animation
Dark Matter - high magic damage to single target, high range, long charge time
???

Dragon -
Tail Swing - same, but with 2 range instead of 1 (long tail!)
Fire Breath
got plenty of ideas for elemental dragons, but that's understandably n/a here

Hydra -
made all my Hyrdas elemental dragons, so currently at a loss


If nothing else, hope this at least stirs some creative juices!  Things can be greatly expanded upon I'm sure.

LD, with your multi-patching idea, monster abilities could be progressive in strength.  Like if the original Black Magic existed, you could have Bombs use Fire in chapter/patch 1, Fire 2 in chapter/patch 2, and so on.  That way abilities are leveling up along with stats!  So you really do have quite a lot of creative room here.

tl;dr - hello, hi!

Eh, why not?  Dome doesn't afraid.  If anything, his Steal Heart is OP.

EDIT: Hacks.  This site abounds with them.

QuoteGiant wooly rat. Must be nice with none of the standard predators  :)
Rodents of Unusual Size have started making appearances outside of the Fire Swamp?  I suppose the only other habitat that WOULD be suitable would be a volcanic crater.  Very cool indeed.

EDIT: I believe in Rodents of Unusual Size.

Quote from: "winshmo"question Mr LD, since your party is limited to to 3 and you cant invite ppl, how would Ramza fight random encounters?
Randoms are themselves classified as missions, including Gafgarion and often containing their own generated guest characters and occasionally unique conditions and events.  So really they're fought like any other Mercenaries battle.

Might be a little outdated by now, but original thread:

St. Ajora enacted divine intervention on my behalf, fearlessly braving the rapidly cooling bathwater for to bestow upon my person a dry, downy towel.

I ask him if he wants to come up for a cup of coffee.

Quote from: "bisekibungaku"The Bible (ASV) says this:

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible St. Ajora for the likeness of an image of corruptible man"
Inspired or not, a corruptible man, professing his word to be the word of G.o.d., wrote that.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!  The Great Oz has spoken!"
