I've always thought SMRPG Mario would fit oddly well as a FFT sprite.

Finish that one up someday.

Yes, I mean only Odin, without his horse. Also look at horses legs, they are quite funky if you ask me, but I dunno if you will fix it.

I told you in a PM what to do about the colors and RW sprites, so I won't repeat myself here. What surely needs some work is Odin, he is nice, but doesn't look FFT at all(the smallest monster, Uribo is bigger than him :/)

PSXfin. I tried ePSXe but it kept deleting itself. I could play for a little bit but when I'd exit my computer would say it was a threat and I'd delete it. And when I unzipped my ISO of Final Fantasy Tactics, it creates another zip file that I can't unzip, but I can play just fine before the patch.

Yeah I know, it's weird. But really, any help would be appreciated.

You should at least try doing ports for these

But yeah, feel free to rip em all you like.  I'll see what I can come up with for other classes after I.... examine them this time lol.

What type of character do you have in mind for Agrias? Support Tank? Spellblade?

Some of these seem pretty sweet and definately viable.  I'm not sure I would use too many these, but Ifrit looks awesome !
That sucker is going to have find it's way into my own game!  I imagine we will need to make portraits for these guys, but still cool.

All around good job!!!

^The last one may not have anything, but I saw stuff at the other links.

Quote from: MountainDew~ on December 01, 2011, 08:50:17 pm
Just out of curiosity, are these going to be different sprites/recolours with different skill sets or the same sprite with different skill sets? Like using a green Link for the Ancient Tools, White for the musician and Yellow for the adventurer? Or Cloud's A.Children sprite, FFT sprite, and a new/changed one?

Also, are the materia going to be actual items? You could always make them items, and then require Cloud to equip them to be able to use his skills, like his Materia Blade in Vanilla. I think different equipment for the different classes would be cool too. Like Warrior Link can use Bows/KnightSwords and Heavy armour, the Adventurer can use Swords/Crossbows and Light armours, and the musician can use robes and.... instruments?

Quote from: MountainDew~ on December 01, 2011, 08:57:32 pm
Okay, cool. Just wonderin It looks like you guys are doing a fantastic job; keep it up, I'm excited to try this out.

Elementalist- FFTA route?
Low Damage, Debuffs, medium MP cost, fast cast, and a sub-par melee

Wind Slash - 10 MP
"A quick lash of wind to send opponents Flying"

or

Elementalist - Apprentice
Medium MP costs, medium speeds, medium damage, and a decent melee

Wind Crush - 10MP
"Traps a foe between two large blasts of wind, suffocating the foe."
(No Debuff/Effect)

I can come up with a skill set if you decide you'd want to go with either one. It won't be a straight rip from FFTA either lol

Ever play any of the Ogre Battle games?

Quote from: Lucifer_zero on December 01, 2011, 07:59:33 am
1st - Each job need to have relationship with characters universe
2nd - Each job must be unique on some way

QuoteThen the original ideia for cloud would be a job with limits, a job with materia and a job using Advent Children Universe.

QuoteAnother ideia i had was a job with limit, one that merge two types of materia, and another that merge the other two types of materia ( the types that i mean are Green, Red, Yellow and purple )
The most common set in this case would be, one job that merge green and red ( a magical class ) and another that uses Yellow and Purple
With Yellow being either this set of Yellow materia:
- steal ( all steals here )
- DeathBlow ( double damage low %hit )
- Throw ( Ball and Shuriken)
- Manipulate ( give charm to one enemy )

Or could be used only one Yellow materia: Enemy skill ( and Cloud becomes a Blue Mage )


For purple materia i was thinking on innates for class + some supports and reaction, like HP+ ( 20% more HP ), Pre-Emptive ( Hamedo ), Speed Plus ( Speed Save ).

Actually, i did think on Cloud having Enemy Skill only just now, and i love Blue Mages... so i would go with along all the way, but i dont think that the purple materias are that good for Cloud, and i still couldn´t think on anything better...

QuoteSnake - a job for spy/stealh skills, second is for martial arts and the third is weaponry.

QuoteDante - a job for gun skills, another for the swords and itens, lastly the third we have Demons power

QuoteThats only ideias that may be usefull ( or not ) for you guys ^^

Quote from: Lucifer_zero on December 01, 2011, 05:42:36 am
Great ^^ each one of the specials will have more jobs, this will open for more combnations.


Liked most of link ideias, but as as ever, as the annoying guy i am, there some points that i need to comment 2 things:

- Warrior class command, as the way it is, could be called "Ancient Tools" instead of "Ancient Skills", more for the fact that they are more like tools than skills.

Quote
EX-SOLDIER;      Limit Break ( i always missed the "break" on skillset name, its Limit as we know )
Mako warrior;     Master Materia ( some magical skills, like thunder ones and summons )
Advent Children; Fusion Sword ( Skills based on each part of his Fusion sword, a little like Sword spirit from samurai, and would have his ultimate skill OmniSlash version 6 )
