Alma Story

[azavier]

 i have been thinking about making a patch on alma.
what characters should i include on it

[Vanya]

more details about your story idea might help us formulate some opinions. =)

[Xifanie]

Mmm it should include Alma I guess.

[Dormin Jake]

All.

[trickstardude7]

perhaps for some originality you should add some characters in the game instead of just haveing alma just there add a storyline

[Green Archer]

Alma, Teta, Ramza, Dycedarg, Zalbag, Balbanes, Delita, Elder Simon and Princess Ovelia... Given that you wish to make a patch before the events of FFT took place.

[Zozma]

if agrias is looking after ovelia then surely she and alma met for a short time

[The Damned]

if agrias is looking after ovelia then surely she and alma met for a short time

It's kinda nebulous. Agrias at least knows her by name given the conversation that happens right after you rescue Ovelia that Ramza listens in on, but other than that, it's possible for Agrias to not have ever met Alma face-to-face.

As for this patch, are you trying to make an actual game out of it or more just a "movie" like the Chronicles of Kanabarif?

I'm asking because for most of FFT, Alma's unconscious one way or another (politically during the first half and then physically during most of the second half) and is in a total of maybe three or four fights. (Zalmo I, presumably against Izlude before she gets captured, and then against both forms of Altima).

[Zozma]

now that you mention it, you're right with agrias i suppose.
if agrias actually saw her they probably didnt even have a conversation.

there are interesting things you can do in the gap that shes unconcious..

like dreams and stuff. i mean you could even make her fight a battle since something takes over her body she could fight to get it back? hell i donno... lol, but as far as her having a party and all that.. if your making it a patch its hard to picture, since shes pretty much solo (unless you count her enemies) till ramza comes in at the end.

holy jeeze perfect time to break in completed ajora sprite! have alma fighting against her in the end ! i have some ideas for this patch

[Zozma]

yeah it should work fine, only thing that needs to be fixed is her hair in the back attacking animation and she is good to go

[azavier]

im likeing all of u guys ideas!
especially her having dreams and fighting aqaisnt ajora over her body!
i have been working on makinq a patch on it.
but im qonna need a help.
im qoing to motify her class a lil so she can basically stand on her own incase i (or we if u guys help me ]
put her in a battle one on one sometime in the patch.
what 2nd skill set should she have.
and how should we motify her cleric skills sett

[Lydyn]

Well, given the vague idea of this ... I'd say, let her change classes like anyone else, so you can give anything for her secondary. Her "Holy Magic" traditionally would hold more cure spells, protect spells ... maybe even Fairy? Definitely still needs Mbarrier.

[Zozma]

you could create a version of raise2 that has a 100% success rate and shorter ct, thats what i did to make the cleric job have a set of 5 skills.

[azavier]

yeah i think im qonna do that.
but is everyone qonna help me with this project?

[Nagafen]

I could. Send me some ideas of what you have, and I'll see what I can do. I'm good story wise (I'm writing a novel for NaNoWriMo at the moment, so I'm practicing..) but not good spritewise at the moment. I can text edit (Via hex and/or Event Decompiler/recompiler) so I can help a bit with that if you want as well. For full event editing though, you may have to talk to LD.

But yeah, I'll help out if you want.

[VincentCraven]

yeah i think im qonna do that.
but is everyone qonna help me with this project?

Depends on what you want to have done.  Some of these patches actually may be able to mesh into one since some people are hung up on the storyline and others of us are fanatics about changing the gameplay.

....Etc.
