'He Who Holds the Spirit Stone'

Location: Nelveska? Or whatever hasnt been used much in planning stages!

Description: Two self-Titled 'Adventurers' are travelling the continent in search of excitement, ancient ruins and the thrill of an adventure. The rumours speak of one of them possesing an artifact known as a Spirit Stone, a relic capable of acheiving the impossible...

Enemies: If not generic jobs, then both are a Special job - Adventurer

If generic, then:
Female Redguard ('Feena')
Male Animist? ('Justin')

Difficulty: Medium-Hard

Ah cool, cheers. I'm already at Mandalia now so have almost caught up anyway! Just playing it REAL cautious now! Cheers.

Ok, pretty massive bug now on my 1.951 iso - ramza's name has magically changed to vincent, his job is now completely blank/ unnamed and his job wheel status has completely reset.

No idea how this happened, but am really pissed of with myself now for not having a backup save! Don't think its an ISO issue as I've been using the same one for years with no problems. Thanks for reading guys.

Hey guys, another annoying/ trivial question from me! I remember reading a comment (think it was from Elric) that said that chapter 1 used 150 event slots and I was just wondering how many slots were/ are in a the regular vanilla game?

Cheers.

Ok brilliant, thanks!

Hey guys, on the 1.95 patch the game just hangs whenever somebody does an action. I dont know what the problem is as I patched the vanilla Iso that I always use.

Help would be appreciated! Cheers guys

I could learn the 'original' one, I think.

Ah good ok, cheers. will just grind away till its mastered then - cheers.

Keeper of the Dark

Location: Not really sure! I'm open to suggestions, but think that something like Murond/ Limberry Undercroft would work

Difficulty: Medium/Hard/Very Hard/1.3 Elidibs+ SNES Insanity

Description: Talk has been circulating about strange goings on in [Location.] Rumours suggest that it could be followers of a militant group naming themselves Mullenkamp.  Upon hearing of the usurpation of [Location,] King Delita dispatched a group of warriors and mages to try and quell these rabble rousers. Only one lowly Animist returned, his life sustained by the chocobo that carried him back. With his steed giving its last breaths, the soldier passed on his final message: 'D'tok... Blood Sin...'

Enemies:

Dragon x1 [D'tok]
Sydney Losstarot x1

Both have ??? stats, with D'tok having innate beastmaster/ monster skill if possible [dunno what tier, need to double check it]

Sydney skills:
Blood Sin [primary skillset]
'Uses ones pact with the Dark to accomplish  inhuman feats.'
Prostasia: Uses magickal arts to increase ones powers to supernatural levels [PA+2 MA+2 Brave/Faith + 10, Reraise. Either all of those 100% add or random add, depends how hax you want to be/ whats possible]
Rood Inverse: A magickal attack that utilises the power of the Dark to call forth utter destruction. [Grand cross basically but renamed and make it possible to inflict decentish damage over a wide area, with random debuff]

Short Charge/ Non charge [if it still exists]
Master Teleport

Reward: Czarine/ Fandango [sword] or Holy Win [Great/Knight Sword] or Dread Shield *realise this'll probably never happen due to equips being decided*

Yeah, description is way too long I think - got carried away there, apologies! Still thinking up a possible moveset and rewards, etc. Mostly want to make an awesome reward for an incredibly challenging fight.

I also realise that this will probably never happen, but just had to get the idea down!

Also, cameo wise, Sora/ Anyone from Kingdom Hearts - the king of Square crossover games?

Hey, quick question: How the hell do the redguard skills work? I've learned the moves JP wise but when I go to use the Red Magic command it says that I haven't learned any combo moves? Not entirely sure whats the deal with that?

Oh, and lastly, what particular sprite needs editing for the formation screen sprite to change?

Hey, dunno if this has been reported, but the generic Wizard can't learn Death - it'll take the jp but not learn the spell.

Like I say, dont know if its been reported or not, but thought I'd say. Enjoying these randoms, they're great fun!

Ooh, another thought about a Mark - a prinny (or prinny squad?)

Oh the suggestions I could post!

Ashley Riot in some form, be it awesomely hard mark or extra character.

Kirito/ Kirigaya Kazuto from the light novel/ anime Sword Art Online - would be a bit of a bitch though, as would need a sprite.

Another thought I had about character would be Alundra from, well... Alundra (he would probably be too similar to Link though to warrant.)

Lady or Trish from the DMC series? I reckon that most of my ideas are already planned by you guys anyway!

Ta for reading.

Well, that would definately make it one of my favourite all time patches of FFT! Can tell you now that if you can get through the first battle without it crashing then it should be fine - would crash on bartholumes second or third turn.
Seems to be guests that crash it - I imported my file from epsxe and it crashed as soon as Leesha(? olivanders sister) took a turn.

Yeah, so, ramblling aside, that would be pretty great.

Hey, good read. Just out of curiosity, what consoles are you planning on making this playable on? Psx and Ps2 (modded of course?) Just wondering as would be good to change the Iso to an eboot if possible for use on my psp?

Thanks for reading.

Rei would be interesting, although getting his were tiger spritd to work could be interesting (suppose that you could just edit a werewolf sprite, I guess?)

How the hell you'd work Alucard I don't know (in terms of transformations - suppose you could just do a combination of magic and swordskill-type stuff?)

Anyway, back on topic, I'mma go grind me some generics and then harvest their souls for The 5 to get some more skills. Is that cheap/ cheesing of me? probably! Oh well!

Well, that was foolish of you then! Quite frankly, the only thing you'd need to make the whole thing perfect IMO would be for Ashley Riot to be an extra/ optional character.

Very subtle of me, right?

Cool sounds great! I have to admit, I feel the need to play DMC3 again (dont have a file anymore and have already 100% it from scratch about 4 or 5 times!)

This patch has just made me want to play all the 'source' games again! Thanks for all the hard work as well - I'm sure I speak for all the fans/ players when I say we all love it and can't wait for an update!

Hey, just want to shout out to all you guys and say that this patch was an absolute blast to play through!

Love the Marks idea and, quite frankly wish that I could do half of this stuff for the psp version! Really looking forward to chapters 2-4 and hope you guys enjoy making them (realise that these things can be a pain in the backside/ a chore sometimes!)

Quick question though: will the following chapters be seperate patches or will it be Jot5 chapters 1 and 2 together, and eventually the whole thing as one patch?

There's no particular reason for the question, just nosiness really! Thanks again guys!

p.s it was mentioned in a different thread that royalguard wouldnt work barehanded due to ASM issues. Just out nf curiousity, what was the conflict/ problem?

P.p.s SNAAAAAKE was just brilliantly implemented - still dont know why I didnt see it coming though!
