Hey just had a really loose idea here, but what if you had a pokemon/mtg style game using the fft format? The objective could be to eliminate the enemy trainer / protect your own. All "pokemon" would be given an innate status of "stop/immortal/invisible" that could only be relieved by the trainer. The trainer would not be able to inflict damage on enemies, only cast spells that would mirror sending out a pokemon. The trainer would have a limited mana (say 3), and it would cost 1 to send out pokemon, and absorb 1 when bringing back. They could also casts buffs maybe. It wouldn't necessarily have to use monsters from pokemon, it could use existing fft monsters. Haven't played pokemon much, just seems like a cool idea.
