[Old] FFT: Plus Changelog (Not complete/updated, The Master guide will)

[Dome]

This is not a complete changelog (FFT: Plus has more than 600.000 small or big changes from the base version of the game, so I will surely miss something >_>)

Take 1.3030 (FFT:+ is based on 1.3 after all) and apply those changes

Quick patch overview

spoiler

- FFT: Plus Aims to improve FFT gameplay rebalancing jobs/skillsets/items/Monsters and increasing difficult of storyline/random fights (The catch is that FFT: Plus works like a normal RPG: you can grind if you want/need, and you won't be punished if you do)
- Every obtainable class/monster have fixed growths, and you can get move exp-jp up, making easier for the player to grind (Also, many jp costs have been lowered)
- Adds new content (3 new special jobs are available for the player, many abilites have been reworked, a new generic job [Sage] replaces the calculator and bard/dancer jobs have been merged)
- Many ASM have been used (Equip supports, specials can do propositions, lower zodiac compat damage and monsters weakness, etc...

Realy cool Dome, i think you pointed the major things out, the changelog is prety good i think

:-) Thanks

I added something more to the last section

[Eternal]

Question here. I haven't really been keeping up with all of the item changes, so why have Axes been removed?

[Dome]

I want to turn them into tomahawks (Throw only, much like shurikens and balls), but I still need to -hack- the whole thing
Also, I hate them >_>

[Eternal]

Make Axes unequippable by all jobs, remove Equip: Axes, keep Throw: Axe on Ninjas. There. Done.

[Dome]

I did it
If you somehow manage to catch an axe, everyone can use it >_>
Also, when you buy it, it shows up as a weapon and not as a throwable item

[Kagebunji]

If you can assure me you will import the items sprites into the game(oh hi Et), I will do the tomahawks we spoke of long ago. As for Ramzor, is he an axe user, as it was planned on in the beginning?

[Dome]

Of course not, No Axe-only class was ever meant to exist >_> (Axes have been removed from the game)
Axes will be a throw-only item
Of course I will import them in the game if you make them!

[Kagebunji]

Ok, then get on chat once so we can discuss how many, what kinds etc. you would like.

Why you dropped the Axes though? I thought Ramzor was supposed to use them.

[Dome]

Never meant to be
I used that topic just to gather ideas, not because I wanted to implement them >_>

Man, for the next release, made a Ninja with Ninja skills! Bombs to evade, poison needles, attacks to put someone to sleep... Chemists only works with cure potions, but he whould works with poison, molotov and support potions (protect, shell and other stuff). Think about it.

I'll test your hard work!

Ps.: when I have some free time, I'll work on a patch based on D&D.

By now, I have some jobs to study about it:
Everyone starts with Squire then:

Chemist==>Necromancer
Fighter==> Samurai
Ranger==>Arcane Archer
Thief==>Ninja or Assassin
Wizard==>Warlock
Cleric==>Paladin
Monk==>Dragoneer
Druid==>Summoner
Bard/Singer (Performer was a AWESOME idea!)==>Oracle

Theres some explanation in mind how those classes grow to another.

Dome may correct me if i'm wrong but this patch is meant to be the start for new patches made by folks around here so it must have none/almost none hacking of FFT, by this i mean not much abilities created and not modding jobs and this stuff.

Good luck to you, maybe post your idea in the new projects idea's section and you can get this up and running very quicky.

- Guns reworked (As range decreases, power increases)

Which ASM is this?

[Dome]

No ASM, I have no hacking skills xD
Simply, the first gun has uber range and shitty power, the second one has medium range and power, and the last one has crap range and strong power

Well, yeah, but I think FFT: Kind of is even better for that task xD
This patch changes more things :-)

Yeah, thinking of it now it does suits more that task.

[Dome]

Your sig is epic

[Joseph Strife]

Your sig is epic

LOL, but i must admit i saw it in someone's profile.

[S_Hawkeye]

A question, is there a fixed grow, or the performer is still a crappy class to train?
