i'd like to add myself, and maybe some friends, to my personal patch... how would you do that?

do you think that it would be possible to substitute rad, lavian or alicia? or maybe it's better to make the unit join after some battle a la algus/mustadio?

any suggestion is welcome.

Are you talking about a spare sprite? Gyumu.spr is a duplicate of Alma's sprite.

Replacing a character is very possible, but are you asking whether you should? I'd suggest replacing one of the three (Rad, Lavian, Alicia).

Personally, I'd recommend against adding yourself into the patch, but if you have a good class and creative way to add yourself, then by all means, go for it. However, I'm not sure I understand what part of the 'adding yourself' is a problem.
I changed jobs and that has made all the difference.

its very easy there are many duplicate sprites the ones that have a dupe that im aware of are:

Alma (i think she actually has 2 dupes)
Agrias
Rafa
Malak
Meliadoul
Gafgarion
Celia
Lede

that alone is.. 8 or 9 free sprites all you have to do is go in entd edit and make sure that the origional charcter uses their 1 remaining sprite wherever they appear..

XD you could just add me, you, and zodiac in place of them! That way ppl know who's responsible for the awesome patch.  >.>

I was planning on making Rad a Red Mage and Lavian/Alicia Mystic Knights, but those classes could replace some other less-liked classes by meshing two into one.  I still would like to do a joint effort, because I seem to be less and less enthusiastic about making an awesome patch all by myself.

:) actually i was thiking and thinking if it was better to start it over from the beginning... restarting can be boring, but that way we might be able to discuss and agree point by point to all the work.

anyway i got a nice idea:

me, you and zodiac will join immediatly after the first battle instead of rad lavian and alicia, but we'll be the enemies of the first battle :P

what do you think? also we would need special sprites and a mildly useful but not overpowered original skillset...

I'm a master at restarting. I've started FFT at least 20 times since the last time I beat the game.  :P
And by the way, if we are working on the same patch, should we be discussing this in the 'FFT Sigma' section?

I'd say leave Rad, Lavian, and Alicia but replace the entire enemy party with us three. I don't know what you will be, but I call Wind Mage! (I would say Samurai for its kewl sword, but that's already taken.)

Vincent
Wind Mage
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Armored Mage equips? (would fit with the sprite Kourado made)
stats about like priest
3 move, 3 jump

Hmmz...  I'd have to make new skills to be a wind mage, so perhaps I'll change class. Then again...
Set:
[Aero]
[Cyclone]
Kamaitachi
Dash

I was thinking there would be a super secret optional battle with you guys. Also you should all get totally new skills once that's figured out.

well if you can't get yourself soon it's not funny :D also at least for me i'd like it to be an average/slightly better than average character. there's already too many powerhorses around...

Hey karsten, are you sure that you can mix Item skills along with other skills? Item uses a different Action Menu, so that might not work.

Zodiac
Majestic

Equip: Katana, Ninja Sword, Helmet, Clothes, usual accessories.
Innate Two Swords

moderate-low HP
moderate MP
low PA (due to two swords)
moderate-high MP
moderate SP

Wave Fist
Stigma Magic

By the way, if you give items in a non-item skillset they will not be required and won't consume any item.

haha. You could be stingy and call that a new skill. "Conjured Elixir".

with that "conjured" thing in mind... elmdor.....
has anyone figured out what bugs his skillset?

i had to create a third "Sword Spirit" skillset and created 4 new spells
with the draw out gfx that dont draw out a katana... its like summoning the spirit of the katana without drawing out woooo! of course muramasa is one of them. still i cant seem to make the origional skillsets work at all even removing "katana stock" from the skillset type doesnt work...
