Haha wow this is awesome, Hopefully Durbs can go thru these sometime soon and grab them for the spreadsheet, tho some may have to be slightly reworded, none the less great job man!

[Taichii]

i noticed it too..
most of the abilities tend to cover a group.
so i followed the main description.. however..
Protectga
Shellga
Regenra
Floatga

and protect, shell, regen and float have bott effect description..
i think the the level 1 spells should be targeted only to a unit ))

Well the way they are setup is for balance but we will see what they seem like once they abilities are finished


ALSO: I don't feel like making another changelog right now, but i finished 2 more events over the last 24 Hours.
We have about 3 more to go for the final battle which should be done within the next week, then we have 2/3 more
after that for the sidequest of Chapter 1.

After these are done, i will be going thru every single event and replacing the text format with the new format that
Pierce is making, none of the Dialogue will change, some of it will just flow better due to not being cut off or having to
turn a page at an akeward point. Once this is finished all focus will be put on abilities (which DarkShade is already working on)
as well as Items and balancing.

We have come a looong way in a very short time people. Lets keep up the hard work and get this damn chapter finished!

[Pierce]

Brief little update on my end.
I'm about halfway through the chapter formatting the text. There was a section or two that I couldn't for the life of me format so the text boxes wouldn't flow awkwardly, so I had to change a touch of the wording. Nothing significant; things like making a comma a period, or making the first half of a second come after the second. Nothing groundbreaking.

Lol no problem just make sure and PM me which ones you may need to do this to

[Jon]

I'm happy to see Link go to a good use! Thanks for using him, Elric42!

[Smitson]

Looking good, only thing is I'm unfamiliar with Devlin May Cry, Dante's language...seems a little off for FFT.

thats kinda the point bro, lol. We are tryin our best to keep everyone's personality intact , wouldn't make much sense if just because Dante is now in Ivalice he had a completely different attitude lol
Thank you tho and stay tuned we will have a release not to long in the future

Yeah I just hadn't played the game before so I was unaware if that was the way he talked or if you changed it up or not. Good job either way though, looks like you guys have made a solid amount of progress in a short amount of time it's good to see.

[3lric]

Haha indeed and i very much thank you, I've only been actually working on the mod for bout 3-4 months, it started out as me learning to event edit, since at the time i was new and thought it was a much more common thing. then once the rest of the team joined  for sprites, ideas abilities and everything else it has now really taken off! Especially since Durbs started writing the script for the story we came up with

i can even run thru the majority of Chapter 1 of Jot5, but with how unbalanced it is it wont be released for a bit yet. 

[DarkShade]

Well guys i got FOUR skillsets done for the generics which are.........

Red Mage

Black Mage

White Mage

and Elementalist

the rest i will try to work on the after vacation. cant have my computer come with me to Vegas.

[3lric]

I still haven't updated the changelog, but rest assured i have been very busy working on making the last few events for Chapter 1 as perfect as I can, in addition to other things. More updates to come soon 

[3lric]

I hate to double post but eh, oh well.
Just wanted to let everyone know that RavenOfRazgriz has taken up working on the battle system and abilities. So everyone can expect some big changes in the battle system we
currently had going and i think everyone will be quite pleased  
More words later

EDIT:

3 Things

1) We have decided at this point not to use RAD as we originally intended to. Instead we will be going back to the Job Wheel.

2) NEW Skillsets for Ramza, Dante, Link, Cloud, Snake, Agrias, Tesnya and Sephiroth made by RavenOfRazgriz will be updated into the main post of this thread within the hour

3) New Changelog coming either today or tomorrow

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Unless something goes horribly wrong, I intend to have everything skill and number related (at least as far as needed for Chapter 1) finished by the end of the next week or two.  Bet we could get this out a lot sooner than March 1st at that rate...

If anyone is interested in the art side of this project, then I am going to tell that other than Zelda, there is yet another special sprite sprite in works(currently I am doing still the first half, but I will wok faster once weekends come), which is secret, but also completely awesome, since Twinees concepted it.

Just saying this so that any spriters or guys who want new juicy sprites will have more to look forward to,

[Joseph Strife]

That one is gonna be epic!
