An integral part of this is patch is focus on Zodiac signs. There are 14 playable characters, each with a specific Zodiac sign. I'm going to try to balance it out with the way they're assigned. For example, Mustadio will focus on speed, so he'll have bad compatibility with another speed based character as to make your party's compatibility balanced in regards to roles. This may be difficult to balance however. Ramza will start out with the assigned Zodiac from the beginning, but I'm hoping to change it to Serpentarius later in the game. There will also be job/changes and other changes to the story to make sense.
Comments and feedback is highly appreciated.
This sounds like a great idea! Have you considered giving each character a special job based on his/her sign, or using ASM to give them innate boosts? (Sagittarius gets boost:wind, for example.
