This double posting business is crap :p

In the spirit of Argg0's abandoned project, I present a spinoff!  

Rules:

1) Team will consist of 4 generic humans, level 35, leveled in their primary class.

2-) Brave ranging from 40 to 70, maximum brave on the team must be 240.

3-) Faith ranging from 40 to 70, minimum faith on the team must be 220.

4-) Each unit has 3400 JP to spend in various abilities. As in FFT, each unit cannot spend points toward an ability before filling Job level requirements for the prerequisite jobs. For example, a character could not buy speed break without allocating 350 JP to squire (to make knight accessible). Units are not required to spend the entire 3400.
4a) Elemental can be wholly purchased for 600 JP.  

5-) Only two units on a team can buy any individual ability. So four units could have the Punch Art ability set but only two could have purchased Earth Slash. Innates do not count for that, so you can have two chemists and a Knight with Throw Item.
5a) Ninjas can only appear once per team.

6) Banned abilities -- Many Draw Outs and Planar Magics are banned via JP cap, but barring those:  Nameless Dance, Fire/Ice/Bolt4, Leviath/Bahamut/Cyclops, Meteor, Throw Katana/Knight Sword/Axe, Invite.

7) Equipment.  Limited to all purchaseables, minus Thief Hat.  Complete list is here:  http://project-yvalice.wikispaces.com/Tact_Equip_Check  Just like abilities, there is a cap of 2 per any piece of equipment.  For those not versed in 1.3 item changes, check out:  http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1671  Notably there are nice buffs to black hood/costume and light robe to take them over twist headband/power sleeve/black robe.

8] Item/Throw/Draw Out goodies will be 99 in quantity.  Including potions, so auto-potion will aptly be a 30 health recovery bit.  Clarity: Zero elixirs.

9) Map will be randomly selected from a large pool of maps -- namely the balanced ones which provide neither side with an advantage (goodbye Dorter 2!).  
9a) Once a map is played through once, it will not appear again in the tourney.

10) Default AI will be set to Save Fading Life, which is the standard AI routine.  If you wish to have a unit set on run like rabbit the whole time, please make a note of it and for which unit when you submit.  Protect Allies is another option, and if you chose so specify which unit will be protected throughout the match.  Fight for Life is not an option, since it is enemy-dependant.

11) Best two out of three advances into the next round.
11a) Initial bracket placement will be randomized.

Aaaaaaaaand, because we're otherwise lacking in 1.3 tables, attached are some numbers for your edification!

Job level 3 = 350 JP
Job level 4 = 550 JP
Job level 5 = 800 JP

Ignore Height = 500 JP
Fem Squire MP = 37 O.o

[FFMaster]

Weren't there AI restrictions or something in the last tournament? Some of them which require a target were banned IIRC.

[philsov]

Yes, and I've added rule 10 to clarify =D

[FFMaster]

So only "Save Fading Life" and "Run Like a Rabbit"?

[philsov]

Actually, I take that back.  New rule posted.

[Cheetah]

Very exciting, now are these going to be recorded and receive commentary?

[Sephirot24]

Looks quite interesting...

[FFMaster]

More questions(yay!)

Are monsters allowed?

[philsov]

The thought crossed my mind, but then I saw the mountain of stats I'd have to generate and cried, deciding to just stick with generics for this run.

[Archael]

u can move this to 1.3 forum... why is there 2 threads?

*confuse 2*

[philsov]

seemed more fitting to make a post here and then just pimp it on 1.3  *shrug*

Very exciting, now are these going to be recorded and receive commentary?

Yup!

[Archael]

I'll submit some builds later this week
but for now

[ArkDelgato]

Why is ignore height blank?

[VincentCraven]

Does "Throw Goodies" include only purchaseables?

I hope so, and assume so, but I want to make sure.


Edit: Can throw Rune Blade, but not Dragon Whisker, right?

Edit1: Female Squire MP is calculated much too high.

[philsov]

Why is ignore height blank?

Because I fail at proofing.  500 JP, editted into the first post.

Does "Throw Goodies" include only purchaseables?

Yup.

Can throw Rune Blade, but not Dragon Whisker, right?

Correct.  Poach-only equips are not counted as "purchaseables".

And female squire MP fixed.  good eye.

[Smitson]

My team will be in shortly, I just have to re-do some things since I thought I only had 3400JP, not for each unit haha.

[FFMaster]

Team will be there soon as well, just typing it up.

Good luck in the tournament everybody.

[Smitson]

My teams good to go. Spent a couple hours working on it. I PM'ed you.

[CT5Holy]

Ah yes, good luck to everyone. PM'd you philsov.

This is my first time doing something like this- sounds fun

[VincentCraven]

PM'd philsov with a mediocre team.

I'm betting I'll get 3rd to last in tourny.  Good luck everyone!
