The 1.3 concept is going to have a birthday coming in in two months, judging by those timestamps.

It's come a long way in a year's time.

Blindfolds = awesome

They look very iconic without actually having a precedent, aside from the pseudo-reference to FFV's masquerade masks.

Quote from: "Zozma"Edit Again: lol, okay so i edit alot of shit right? and then i patch. everything looks great! the world menus arent screwed up at all etc etc... then i go into battle and open basic skill and wtf?? "Dash" is called "Gusty Wind"... which file is that one? attack.out? battle.bin? Just to be clear, i used the "quick" feature to change some job names, ability names, and spell quotes adding a few quotes where there were blanks as well.
Same here.  Counter Tackle = Magma Surge, Bolt = Protect 2, Move +1 = Two Hands, Cure = one of my character's names.

Damn.  Do we still need to worry about things like word length or what?

Otherwise I'm extremely happy.  I just can't really play the game with the edits as is.

Reminds me of Vampirella.

What about Zombify?  That's actually a real word.

Why aren't their bow skills?  Dictionary skills?  Harp skills?  Dagger skills?  Fisticuffs skills?

What's so special about omg swords?

I'm ranting.

Love the idea, LastingDawn.  The whole light/dark them is very, very cool.

It gives your standard knight a feeling of being an elite, noble warrior, without resorting to stupid, thoughtless swordskills.

Seriously, what is it with the swordskills obsession, anyway?  There are way, way too many of them already!  One of the biggest qualms I have with vanilla is you get handed all these special knight swordskillers in chapter 4 and before long half your troop requires swords to be even remotely effective.

But your ideas actually have merit considering the very religious-centric setting of FFT's Ivalice.  Makes sense that noble warriors would be involved in studying the forces of holiness and darkness.

That...would actually be very cool.  A Dark Blue Mage.  A Navy Blue Mage!

Yes of course I'm following SoR.  I've moved back to my old lurker status, though, so I apologize if I don't post here that often.  But this section is a creative goldmine, seriously!

To stop AI abuse of Blue Magic, give the spells JP costs (but of course only making them learnable by being hit).  The AI still selects abilities for units based on JP cost and the unit's job level, but the player will never notice because they can't normally be learned by JP.

Did this for my personal balance patch and it works perfectly.  Blue Mages learn spells by being hit with them, whether enemy or ally, and enemy Blue Mages know more and stronger spells the higher their job level, so it works out.

So will Blue Magic essentially be useless early game, because you have to wait for 4th tier monsters to start cropping up?

Why can't all six elements be covered under Holy and Dark affinities?

For example, fire: it can of course be a wild, scary, destructive force (Dark), but then you also have things like sacred fires (Holy), and its various domestic uses in torches, hearths, cooking, and heating.  Also take candles, which are strong symbols of fire; candles have many purposes, among them both holy prayer and worship, and unholy invocations of demons in a summoning circle.

Just an idea.  As for the other elements, I don't know so much.

Element: Holy vs Dark

Ice: order vs cold
Lightning: natural vs arcane or man-made
Water: cleansing vs foul
Earth: nature and growth vs tectonic upheaval?
Wind: um...

Quote from: "Hydrallx"This thread was never about mario RPG, some mario fan boys just came on here and pretty much said fuck sonic, we're gonna rant about some feeble attempt to join the RPG genre by a retarded plumber that gets high off shrooms goes to a kingdom where there is a princess that gets fucked by a giant dragon/turtle  that throws hammer, shoots fireballs and they all manage to hang out in between games to go go-kart racing, play baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer and golf.
Jealousy!

Quote from: "Skip Sandwich"Now I had the mental image of Bill Clinton posting spam and jumping into flamewars on some forum, which then turned into the mental image of all the world leaders conducting buisiness on an internet forum, and it'd be all drama and flamewars and pointless spam.
President Obama would be doing this, but the Secret Service took away his BlackBerry.   :cry:
