Title: FFT CYOA
Post by: formerdeathcorps on July 03, 2011, 05:06:11 am
This RP stands for FFT Choose Your Own Adventure.

Rules:
1) We will run through the story and game of FFT over the forum.  However, at key junctures, instead of following FFT's script, we will subject the actions of Ramza (and his squad, if during battle) to public vote.  Actions may be submitted by anyone on FFH.  The most popular action will then be followed.  I am not allowed to vote except to break ties.
2) That being said, we must still stay somewhat true to the original plot.  IN short, you cannot change the game to produce anachronisms (Ramza pulls out a machine gun and kills everyone), contrary-to-fact occurrences that would ruin the basis for FFT's plot/personality of major characters (Algus not being a jerk, The Lion War not occuring, Ovelia not getting kidnapped, Wiegraf not joining the Lucavi, Delita not becoming King of Ivalice at the end of the Lion War, Ramza not vanishing from history or not fighting Ultima...), or involve of special characters not included in FFT's combat system (like Aerith) or indulge in non-canon fan memes (like Agrias being raped by a marlboro).
3) I will try my best, for logistics and simplicity reasons, to not involve tabletop style tactics during battle.  For complicated scenarios, I may occasionally post screenshots from vanilla FFT itself (with edited ENTDs and memcards) so people can see the progression of the battle.  This means your choices during combat should be more along the lines of general strategy (think of it more like FFXII where you have some control over the AI that controls the guests to attack enemies).
4) For obvious logistics and balance reasons, I will try my best to avoid the JP system altogether.  Instead, as the story progresses, I will inform you of which characters can use which jobs.  Good RPing on the part of everyone will ensure characters "learn skills" in their jobs faster.  Poor RPing or inept battle decisions will result in minimal skills learned, or even death.  All dead humans will yield "treasure boxes", essentially you are allowed to loot their dead bodies for one randomly chosen equip.  Monsters will yield nothing, though this may change with the advent of secret hunt in Chapter 2.
5) This will be played as vanilla, except the damage/CT/evasion system wouldn't be rigidly adhered to.  Essentially this means that good RPing will result in a thief or mediator being more effective than in vanilla, or a black mage being able to cast Fire4 even against enemy ninjas, while bad decisions will result in total ineptitude, even from ninjas and knights with abandon.  However, since this is vanilla, squires do not have a resurrection spell, calculators aren't Zalera worshipers, thieves can't use katanas, mimes don't have extraordinary move...
6) For storyline, balance, and length reasons, we assume Ramza and company take the fastest possible route towards the next assignment.  In short, you should not expect repeated grindfests in Mandalia Plains (at least past Chapter 1, anyways).  Similarly, this means when units enter a town, they must decide what they want to buy while there because they usually will not have a second chance to reenter that town.  However, to make sure adequate EXP is actually gained, if during the course of advancing towards a destination, the party must cross a wilderness area ("green" dot in FFT), RPers should always expect a random battle.  Obviously, there is no save feature, so please think through your actions.
7) The first battle will be the first battle of Chapter 1, rather than the tutorial introduction battle because if the plot is changed sufficiently in Chapter 1, that battle may not occur.  Ovelia will still be kidnapped, though.
8) Have fun.


First decision:

Main character's name:

Pac-Manza.

Generic names:

Blinky (Male)
Pinky (Female)
Inky (Female)
Clyde (Male)
Sue (Female)
Tim (Male)

Q: If our choices end up with Agrias as an enemy and with a Malboro on our own team, can we tentacle rape her due to the strategic relevance there would be in completely immobilizing and humiliating likely one of the strongest enemies on the team and in turn demoralizing the entire enemy team?

To answer that question, the answer would be yes, since that's within the context of combat.

Voting ends on Tuesday (11:59 PM MST).

8 cadets were lounging in the mess hall of the Gariland Military Academy.  Anxious looks plastered their faces as they discussed the daily rumors.

Clyde: I heard another wagon bound for Igros was attacked.
Inky: Must have been the Death Corps.
Pac-Manza: Something's starting...Know anything, Delita?
Delita: No...but I can guess.
Pac-Manza: What do you mean?
Delita (with raised shoulders): Prince Larg is coming to town.
Pac-Manza: Prince Larg?  Why?
Delita: Not only Prince Larg, but Marquis Elmdor of Limberry, too.

Blinky and Pinky now lean towards Delita, eager to hear the words of their red-haired comrade.
Pac-Manza: That's news!  It's not an official visit, is it?
Delita: There are danger zones everywhere in Ivalice.  The Hokuten are in full operation but they're short on manpower.
Pac-Manza (nods): So, they need us cadets.

A booming voice from outside the door: Cadets!  Fall in!
(enter Marcel, a knight in worn leather armor, a cape emblazoned with a faded white lion, and a rough grin): You have a mission!  As you all know, barbarians are now everywhere in Gallionne.  Groups like the Death Corps are traitors.  They want to destroy the royal family, and with it, the very order of Ivalice itself!  (Clenches his fist) By the orders of our liege, Larg's Knights stationed in Igros and many others were called to exterminate these vermin.  Your duty is to guard Igros Castle.
(enter Fleur, a female knight with a light cut on her arm and panic on her face): Marcel...they're....they're here.  (exit Fleur)
Marcel (points to the yellow-tinted window on his right): Cadets!  Ready your swords!  A gang of thugs are trying to sneak into town.  Meet me outside and prepare immediately!

Scrambling to leave the mess hall, the cadets retreated off to their bunks to gather their gear.  As they gathered on the cobblestone steps outside the barracks, Marcel rounded the corner from the nearest street, clearly winded.
Marcel: They're...in the Square...by the canals...robbing merchants.  Go on...I'll join you.

A) Follow orders.
B) Leave 2 cadets in reserve to make sure Marcel's all right.
C-Z) Your idea here.

Which path do you intend to take to the Square?
A) Along the path Marcel just went from.
B) Along the path in the opposite direction Marcel just arrived from.
C) A mix between A) and B) [if so...state who is going where]
D-Z) Your idea here.

NOTE: Although we are following vanilla's large-plot sequence, do not believe for a minute your opponents will be as slipshod as in FFT.  Expect enemy units to call out for reinforcements, ambush you midbattle, or do other more intelligent things the AI in FFT can't perform.  I probably will keep the numbers close to the same to the size of your squad, so expect slightly more units than in vanilla (since we don't have sprite limits in this RP).

Units:
Pac-Manza (Squire Male)
Delita (Squire Male)
Pinky (Squire Female)
Blinky (Chemist Male)
Inky (Squire Female)
Clyde (Squire Male)
Tim (Squire Male)
Sue (Chemist Female)
Marcel (Knight Male...Status = Winded)

My votes:

A) Follow orders, leave Marcel to tend his own wounds, our duty is to destroy these vagabounds raiding our fair Magic City of Gariland before they knock our commerce all down.

Take path C), Ramza leading Blinky, Inky, and Pinky down the path Marcel just came from while Delita leads Clyde, Tim, and Sue down the opposite path, to attempt to pincer the thieves in the square from both sides and cut off their escape route.

I'll go with what Raven said.

and
C) Ramza + Clyde + Blinky + Inky and the other group Delita + Pinky + Tim + Sue.
Will Marcel arrive in the middle of battle?

I considered this but I was thinking FDC would put his GM-foot down on me.  If he's not going to veto this, I totally would want to see where this goes instead.

Delita: Sir, please rest.  We'll take them on.
Pac-Manza: Delita, are you sure?
Delita: They won't be expecting us.
Clyde: But there's two paths into the plaza.  We can't just leave him here.
Delita: Not if we split up and take them both.  What do you think, Pac-Manza?
Pac-Manza (nods): Sounds all right.  I'll go this way (points down the street where Marcel just arrived).
Delita: And I'll go around.  Meet you there.

Pac-Manza led the hastily split group down the mostly empty cobblestone street.  The few peasants who did roam the streets averted their gaze.
Blinky: Wha-What's with everyone?
Inky: Scared, I guess?  There's robbers in town.
Blinky: Yeah, but you'd think they...
Pac-Manza: Shh!

Unintelligible murmuring floated across the air as the squad waded through the canal.  Leaving their wet prints onto the cobblestone of Gariland's Main Street, the squad gazed ahead.  Three roughly dressed characters were arguing amidst complaints.
Male 1: 'e ran off.  Why the hell are we doing this again?
Female 1 (shrugs her shoulders): 'cause the boss got nothin' but fear between those ears of his.
Male 2 (sighs): Didn't we go over this already?  If he brings friends...
Male 1: ARF!  ARF!  You done barking, dog?
Male 2 (scowls): YOU...
Female 1 (points at Pac-Maza's squad): Cut it out, you two.  We've got company!

A) Charge in.  They're outnumbered 4:3.
B) Wait.  Test out the enemy's strength first.
C) Talk to them.  Maybe they can be turned against their boss?
D-Z) Your ideas here

You're all horrible.

E) A variation on B, ask only Male 1 why he hanging out like a bunch of losers and that he looks far too good to be with that raggity riff-raff, then have everyone in our own team bark like dogs at his other two buddies like he did before.

L) Throw a pouch of gold, to the one that appears to be in charge, and promise them that there is more of that to be had, making sure to play up the fact that Pac-manza is a noble, and also promising land and a title to them, if they'll help him secure head of the family line. Pac-manza understands that these were good men and women who had fallen on hard times, and points out how well they'd both benefit from this plan.

OOC: Now we're actually using our brains!

As the other cadets drew their weapons, Pac-Manza reached into Blinky's pack and produced a burlap sack.
Blinky: Hey!  Pac-Manza, what are you...
Pac-Manza: Don't worry.  I have a plan.
Male1: You guys hearin' this kid?!  He thinks he actually can beat us...with a bag!  (Pac-Manza unties the sack's cord, revealing a small cache of silver coins.  Pac-Manza tosses the sack onto the ground separating himself from his foe, as several fallen coins clink against the pavement.)  Wait?  This...for me?
Pac-Manza (smiles): Yes.  In fact, I am willing to offer you much more.  (Male1 whistles and whispers to his two comrades.)  I come from nobility, and my family can make you a peer...but only if I become the next lord.  (Blinky, Inky, and Pinky now stare at Pac-Manza with bulging eyes.)  My older brothers would only see you three as trash, but I know better.
Male2: Wait.  If...you've got older brothers, won't they be the next...
Male1 (slaps forehead): Roddy, you twit.  Can't you see what he's askin'?  He wants us to take 'em out!
Roddy: I don't know, Zander.  Shouldn't the boss know about...
Zander: Fuck that asshole!  Now's our chance to finally make it! (Female 1 grabs the bag of coins and hoists it over her shoulders.)
Female1: You mean my chance, right?  (Female1 darts away, headed for a side alley.  Zander gives chase.  Roddy retreats back into the plaza, his backpack swaying against his back.)

A) Give chase to Zander.
B) Give chase to Roddy.
C-Z) Your option here...

OOC: Sorry about the delay.  My sleep schedule was messed up over the last few days.

Pac-Manza: We must chase her down.  She just took our money!
Blinky: You mad, Pac-Manza?  That's not the mission!
Pac-Manza: If we do it this way, we won't have to follow other people's missions anymore.
Blinky: Do you seriously believe that, Pac-Manza?  I thought...you were just saying that to trick...(Pac-Manza's frown silences Blinky.  Pac-Manza directs Pinky and Inky to follow him towards Zander's retreating figure.  30 steps pass.)
Pinky (looking back): You...you coming, Blinky?  (Blinky averts her gaze.)
Blinky: I don't...know.  I don't know if this will work.  (Enter Marcel, behind Blinky.)
Marcel (slightly scowling): What will?  Where are you cadets going?  The enemy is over there (points toward the Town Square).

A) Kill Marcel.  He can't learn of this plot.  If Blinky resists, he will be killed too.
B) Continue chasing Zander and ignore Blinky and Marcel.  We only need the willing.
C) Try to recruit Marcel and/or convince Blinky.
D) Return to the original mission so Marcel doesn't get angry.

C) Convince Blinky and Marcel.  Marcel's stronger than this Zander chump anyway and Zander will likely come back to us willingly when he catches up with the bitch and gets his Gil back.  We need to keep our main team together, anyway.  Blinky will be more trustworthy than Zander in the end and we don't want the entire Hokuten army after us before we've even gotten to kill Delita Dycedarg Zalbag Balbanes Alma Teta Algus.

OOC: Let's restart this.

Pac-Manza: It's OK, Blinky.  We can tell him.
Blinky: You sure, Pac-Manza?  I...(Pac-Manza nods with a smile.)
Marcel: Tell me what, cadets?  There's no excuse for abandoning the mission when your comrades are counting on you for support!
Blinky: Well, sir, you see, Pac-Manza has a better mission in mind.  If he were to become the next Lord Beoulve and commander of the Hokuten, we wouldn't have to fight...people...like this.  He could use his family's influence to satisfy their complaints and knight us all.
Marcel: For a Beoulve, I thought you'd have better sense than this, Pac-Manza.  These are career criminals you wish to pardon; they hate everything we stand for!  They'll just take your mercy and then stab you in the back!  Besides, your brothers stand above you; how will you even accomplish this lunacy?
Pac-Manza: My brothers stand in the way of justice.  These are people who are forced to steal, sir, because they have nothing else.  They gave their lives in the last war and we'll just cast them aside like trash?
Marcel (scowling): If it's treason you're planning, forget it!  This is airheaded foolery!  Your brothers rose to the rank you now desire because they followed the orders of the Crown, even when they had to sacrifice!  Only such loyalty and accomplishments then earned them the right to command.  If you believe you can just usurp this, you're mad!  (Marcel withdraws his mythril blade, now glistening in the midday sun.)  On my orders, you are all to march to the Square and drive out the vermin!  If any of you leave my sight, I'll punish you as a traitor to the Hokuten!

A) Kill Marcel since he now knows of the plot but won't go along.
B) Run off.  He's wearing armor and clearly can't actually chase you down.
C) Go along, just so we can get Delita in on this.  If Marcel tries to stop Pac-Manza, he'll then have to deal with 8 cadets.
D-Z) Your ideas here

Units:
Pac-Manza (Squire/M)
Pinky (Squire/F)
Inky (Squire/F)
Blinky (Chemist/M---Lightened backpack)

C) Follow his orders... for now.  We need to gather our resources back together, this means Delita, the other half of our party, and possibly a couple of the criminals if our previous bribe pays off at all.  There's nothing to be gained here by being reckless.  He's injured, but far better equipped and well-trained, he'll likely down at least one of us before we drop him in a 4 v 1.  If it's an 8 v 1 or 9 v 1 or better, however... we should be able to down him while only escaping with a cut or two.  ...And all his gear, of course.  LOOT ALL THE CORPSES.

A) the fool has drawn his blade and threatened us! he dares threaten the future lord of beoulve manor! Pac-manza must duel him in a 1 v 1, as this fight is over ideals, and those with the strongest convictions shall always triumph.

OOC: My turn.

IC:
Marcel: I already see those rats!
Inky: How many are there, sir?
Marcel: Four...no, five, though it matters not.  At equal numbers, our training will prevail!  Take the flanks, and I'll crush their center!  (Runs across the cobblestone with sword withdrawn)

Units:
Pac-Manza (Squire/M)
Pinky (Squire/F)
Inky (Squire/F)
Blinky (Chemist/M---Lightened backpack)

Marcel (Knight/M)

Terrain:
Cobblestone Street
Overturned Fruit Stand (no steady footing to stand on, but can be used as cover)

Enemy Layout:
Zoddy (near a rear alley)
Enemy1 (Female, leaning against a fruit stand, using her knife to peel an apple)
Enemy2 (Male, leaning against a fruit stand, wrapping a bandage over his arm)
Enemy3 (Male, near Zoddy, staring into the alley)
Enemy4 (Male, closest to Marcel, sword in left hand)

A) Split squad into two sub-groups so each will launch a 2v1 against the two guys near the fruit stands
B) Stay close to Marcel.  The enemies aren't as weak as he says if they were able to drive him away before.
C) Search for Delita.  He probably took the brunt of the attacks and his squad may have been seriously hurt.
D) Don't follow Marcel.  If we're to betray him anyways, there's no point in helping him out.  If he's too busy fighting, he can't chase after us.
E) Attempt to recruit more enemy units
F-Z) Your ideas here

Note, in the vote, you may articulate options that are a combination of the listed options.

A) Split up and gang up on the guys near the fruit stands, Pac-Manza and Blinky vs the male and Inky and Pinky vs the female so we can have a delicious catfight. Give Zoddy a quick nod to escape if we can do so without Marcel seeing it.  They should be able to outrun Marcel given the latter's in heavy ass armor.  Right now both Marcel and Zoddy are still of use to us, so we need to play both of them just right so we can avoid being forced to choose a side as long as possible.  Plus, Delita and the rest of our team are still out there somewhere, we can't raise hell unless we're in a single formation and are sure everyone is okay.  Raising hell is only useful if we can live long enough to enjoy it, and we're going to need everyone in order to do that.

OOC: Name inconsistency.  It's Roddy, not Zoddy.

Pac-Manza (looks over to Roddy and nods): Yes, sir!  Inky, Pinky, you take the girl behind the stand.  Blinky and I will stop the wounded guy.
Roddy pretends not to notice, but stops to glare at Pac-Manza.
Enemy4: Roddy, you know the plan.  Quit fidgeting and go!
Roddy turned his head, but not before taking one nervous look behind to see if Pac-Manza was still there, before being dragged by his partner into the alley.

Meanwhile, the bandit who was peeling her apple looked up from the fruit in her hands and frowned.  Inky and Blinky, with withdrawn swords by their sides, were coming for her.  Hastily lobbing the apple at Inky, she then lunged to her right, launching herself and her knife into Pinky's face.  Surprised at bold attempt, Pinky lifted her short sword for an equally hasty slash.  Despite the bloodied gash now across the bandit's tunic, the force of her charge carried her knife forward, deep into Pinky's sword arm.  As blood spurted out from the wound, Pinky staggered backwards and dropped her weapon.  The bandit, however, just noticing the pain from the slash, bent over with her left hand wrapped around her stomach, her face leering at Inky.  

Marcel strode towards his foe with his usual smirk.  Never mind the fact he was ambushed before, it was payback time now.
Enemy4: You back for another whipping, knight?  Or are the kids gonna to die for you?
Marcel: Be silent, you cur, or you won't have the tongue to speak!
Enemy4: Oh...so Mr. Tinplate's gonna get fancy on my ass, hmm?
Marcel's sword was immediately matched by the bandit's own.  Coming round again, their swords met again as did their eyes, but only briefly.  Marcel's shield flew into the man's face, knocking him onto the ground.  As his nose bled, his eyes reopened briefly only to see a sword pointed inches from his throat.  The mythril edge went straight through.

Signaling for Blinky to stay behind, Pac-Manza approached the stand.  The wounded bandit's eyes narrowed as Pac-Manza neared, but his hands still seemed busy with tying a knot.  He was muttering something under his breath.
Pac-Manza: Blinky, I don't know what he's up to, but come up here and circle around him from the right.
Blinky: Yes, sir.
The bandit continued to glare at Pac-Manza, his demeanor as inscrutable as before.  With Blinky sufficiently near, Pac-Manza turned to his left, only for the bandit to suddenly sprint right at Blinky.  Like a tiger, he leapt from his position and planted his hand across Blinky's throat.  As Blinky's knife found his ribs, his hands only squeezed harder.
Blinky and Enemy2: HEARGH!!!


Units:
Pac-Manza (Squire/M)
Pinky (Squire/F, Bleeding Sword Arm---Disarmed)
Inky (Squire/F---Will Attack Enemy1)
Blinky (Chemist/M, Lightened backpack, Pinned Down, Being Choked by Enemy2)

B) Go down the alley.

Post by: RavenOfRazgriz on January 02, 2012, 04:42:01 pm


A) The girls are fine, it's two-on-one and the enemy has a far graver injury.  I'm also sure that as a valiant and honorable Knight, Marcel will come to the aide of the females anyway.  We've also affirmed our intent to help Roddy and what should have obviously been clear as a huge risk to ourselves, so I think it's safe to say we don't need to handle that alleyway right now either.  We need to just take this situation one step at a time.  As such - kick that fucker off Blinky and end him before Blinky gets choked to death.

No, I would trust them to a much stronger and more highly capable Knight that's also likely closer to them than we are while I help my much closer and more desperately in-need ally since he's about to be choked to death.
