FFT: kind of

[The Damned]

(I'm against making all stat growths equal, personally, at least at present.)

Hmmm...yeah, it's probably best to remove 5 if you bring 3 back, especially since between 3 and 4, you only miss out on about half of what 5 could affect itself. FFMaster has a point in the Level 99 regard, even if I never understood the point of grinding to Level 99 anyway.

Speaking of Lucavi, they'll need to be given immunity to some debuffs they can currently be vulnerable to. *glares at Ultima II*

Oh, yeah, completely forgot that Altima/Ultima is originally vulnerable to Don't Act. I still find that rather hilarious.

But, yeah, that should probably change too. Or, at least, that particularly vulnerability should be removed. I'm not too keen on Lucavi being immune to EVERYTHING under sun, really. I'm also not to keen on making Lucavi completely immune to stat breaks, though that one I could get behind more easily considering half of them fight alone.

[Asmo X]

A lot has already been removed from this list via consensus; i just havent updated the OP yet. The equip change thing, boco, changes to sam. and sum. etc have already been dropped. I suggested something ages ago for another patch (cant remember which one) about dropping all the speed growths down so magic didn't become more and more useless as levels progressed. Any thoughts?

Also, I'd like to take away a bare minimum away from the player. I know how bad the +spd on "yell" can be at times, but it doesn't seem like top-tier problem. I'd like to see how it plays out after the other changes are in place.

OP now updated with some other suggestions

[FFMaster]

I agree with dropping speed growths down 100%. something from 6 speed(starting) to about 9-10 speed would be good. Something will need to be done to equipment though, such as Thief Hats, Secret Clothes and the Haste equips. Dropping the Charge Times on higher end spells would also be good. Charge I know needs an overhaul instantly (3 speed C+20 rofl, good work Square).

I'm willing to give Yell being the only +speed spell a go. It would keep Ramza unique and not so outshined once other people appear.

Mustadio could use some help I think. He is so pitiful in vanilla. Any ideas?

9001% concur'd.

This is why I proposed using Xifanie's PA/MA/SP boost-restricting ASM.  When Yell can only boost SPD by 5 max, you can observe how it is in a slightly less abusive context and make a better decision on it.  You remove the high-end abuse (lol50 SPD, as well as lol99PA/MA) while still making the option exist in high enough quantities to be well-worth using if done correctly.

As for Abandon, there is an ASM hack that only makes it Evasion x1.5 which you can use as a very simple fix to the problem.  I'd highly recommend it because Abandon has a lot of issues and baggage that a 1.5x lessens without needing to do huge amounts of number juggling, which this patch seems to want to avoid if possible.

Any objections to the name FFT: KO?

[RandMuadDib]

I like it.

[Asmo X]

just waiting to get the allclear from a virus scare I had a couple of days ago and then I'm going to learn to insert some of these ASM hacks.

In the meantime, I thought of something else: making it impossible to remove all of gafgarion's items before he turns on you at Zirekile falls.

[Dominic NY18]

Any plans for squires? IIRC, in 1.3 they got buffed with a few of Ramza's unique skills (including Wish, which was a poor fit IMO).

[FFMaster]

IMO, squires should stay fairly bad. It fits the theme, they have just started out, and have no combat experience. If you still want them buffed though, maybe Heal could cover a few statii that White Magic Esuna doesn't cover like Stop. Dash/Throw Stone could be reworked to be a bit stronger as well I guess (simple formula edit). If we want to add new skills...

- 100% Hit for physical damage, some charge time (requires FDC's weapon rewrite and some other ASM)
- Self inflicting Berserk skill? To me, it fits the theme of Squire

[GeneralStrife]

I like the idea that squire has a few unique abilities but nothing battle turning, and staying squire should not be good. You shouldn't be able to pwn with squires in chap 2/3 but still being able to utilize their skillset as a secondary should warrant a fair gain.

[Joseph Strife]

i think the same way as generalStrife does; Staying squire can't have any gains, but their skillsets can be a secondary option in your party. Maybe something an unevadable attack and somes regen or acumulate. just 1 or 2 unique abilities.

[FFMaster]

Something needs to be done to Concentrate/2 Hands/2 Swords as well. No ideas though. Tweaking 2 Hands to be 1.5x damage is easy enough though.

[Pierce]

Something needs to be done to Concentrate/2 Hands/2 Swords as well. No ideas though. Tweaking 2 Hands to be 1.5x damage is easy enough though.

If the problem with concentrate is that it's OP, maybe just make it ignore one or more of the forms of evasion (mantles, shields, class evasion).
2 swords maybe just make swords unusable as 2 swords, leaving knives and ninjaswords. If there's some ASM that makes it so you can't equip 2 of the same item on one unit, that might be an idea as well? Who knows.

AS fun as it is to discuss mechanics, Asmo's right.  The purpose of this hack is to ONLY fix what was blatantly broken, not insert the community's (or those with the loudest voices in this community's) pet ideas into every pore of this patch.  Some may argue then it's not "balanced" enough, but I don't quite think that's the only factor Asmo's going for.

That being said, if you all want my opinion....

Concentrate isn't OP, to be honest.  It's strong, but only when used in the context of concentrate + ATKUP or concentrate + 2 Swords or concentrate + break or concentrate as a specific setup counter.  Notice that as long as you don't follow 1.3's path and make concentrate innate on a job class, you should only have the latter two as "problems".  But Strategy 3) is hardly OP, and Strategy 4) is more of a means of countering what you otherwise can't hit thanks to abandon/weapon guard + high weapon/shield evasion + high mantle evasion.
Similarly, Abandon needs to be reworked.  I personally dislike how making your reflexes faster affects how big your shield is (and how knights, who are already very good, are the main beneficiaries of abandon) so I prefer a straight addition to C-EV (on top of the global C-EV hack), but I know others would disagree.
Lastly, for damage control reasons, just like how concentrate shouldn't be innate, neither should Two Hands, Two Swords, or Martial Arts.

Make the base accuracy on Two Swords 75% (not affected by concentrate) for all attacks flagged with ranged weapon.  This makes Two Swords effectively 1.5x but risk-tolerant players might adopt it for the occasional double hit (and the occasional double miss).

I suggested something ages ago for another patch (cant remember which one) about dropping all the speed growths down so magic didn't become more and more useless as levels progressed. Any thoughts?

Personally, I see no need.  A variance of between 10 to 15 base speed is usually enough at Level 99 provided:
A) Haste is changed to a fixed +SPD boost
B) No speed gaining skills are possible (with maybe a special job exception)
C) +SPD gear should not include weapons.  +SPD gear cannot grant more than +1 SPD or initial haste.  SPD should not influence most damage formulas.  +SPD gear should be crap at granting all other types of stats, but especially in granting HP/P-EV.  Similarly, the fastest classes shouldn't have high PA/MA growth or high HP (i.e. Ninja needs a PA nerf, monk needs to be slowed down and/or take a HP nerf...)
D) Charge times on spells are lowered to approximately 1.3 standards.
E) If you balance speed as between 10-15, you probably should equally set PA/MA (whichever stat is intended as maximal on a unit) to 10-15 as well.  Personally, I'd retard the C values a bit (i.e. range for humans is 50-75 for PAC/MAC and 85-120 for SPC) on all classes and leave the multipliers alone, but the alternate approach works too.  However, you probably don't want to mix both approaches because it increases the potential for min-maxing stats.

As for calculator, here's my idea:

Height
EXP
Level

4
5
Prime


Fire2
Ice2
Bolt2
Cure2
Demi
Regen
Zombie
Poison
Reflect
Dispel Magic

Obviously, stat growths will be normalized (normal SPD, decent HP).

[The Damned]

(Eh, I don't think much needs or can be done to Squire without drastically changing it. Just buff Throw Stone and Dash and...I can't even remember vanilla Squire originally has, actually.)

I agree that we probably shouldn't go overboard on the changes just because they could be changed for the better, but that raises the obvious question/problem: Where exactly should we (read: Asmo) draw the line? Obviously things can be detrimental to the game without breaking it--see Monk--but where exactly does the line to change potentially detrimental/braindead end?

Something needs to be done to Concentrate/2 Hands/2 Swords as well. No ideas though. Tweaking 2 Hands to be 1.5x damage is easy enough though.

As much I've spoken out again Concentrate at times, nothing needs to be done to it's not innate for a generic class (that isn't Mime) like it is in 1.3.

2 Hands should be balanced out to 1.5 damage, while 2 Swords should have the 75% accuracy penalty if possible, which is still arguably probably less than it deserves given Ninja have it innate, but it's a start.

2 swords maybe just make swords unusable as 2 swords, leaving knives and ninjaswords. If there's some ASM that makes it so you can't equip 2 of the same item on one unit, that might be an idea as well? Who knows.

That doesn't really change anything, though, especially since I'd argue that Ninja Swords are the most abusive of all weapons with 2 Swords, at least with the stupidity that is Spell Edge likely to stick around. (Since, unfortunately, Spell Edge doesn't "need" to change if Asmo is changing as little as possible.)

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Re: Concentrate, Two Swords, Two Hands:  I'll go on record and say that because of the mission statement, none of these skills need mechanical changes.  The only exception would be possibly having Blind override Concentrate, but otherwise.

Now, how to fix their issues?  First, remove innate Martial Arts from Monk and innate Two Swords from Ninja.  Why?  Whenever most people think of Martial Arts (or Two Swords) as broken, who do they think of?  They think of one of these classes equipping the Support from the other, "stacking" Two Swords and Martial Arts for a huge damage bonus.  (Or "stacking" either with Attack UP, but same difference.)  The common denominator is that these things are becoming broken because you're able to stack two huge bonuses together.  Remove the ability to stack, 90% of the problem is solved.  (Yes, this also means Samurai should NOT have innate Two Hands, etc.)  The only real repercussion from this change is that these classes may need their PA factors increased slightly to compensate, but that's nothing 5 seconds with a calculator can't fix.

The other problem that relates only to Two Swords is that Two Swords is "always" better than Two Hands.  This can be fixed by simply making things more distinct between them.  Weapons with higher WP (Spears, Knight Swords, Katana) should remain one-handed, but not be compatible with Two Swords, meaning the user's options with those weapons becomes Weapon + Shield, or Weapon alone.  This allows Two Hands to be focused as being the "power" Support of the pair.  This leaves weaker weapons - Daggers, Ninja Swords, Swords, etc. to be compatible with Two Swords.  You again forego your Shield, and because these weapons are weaker, you're getting less net bonus than using Two Hands in terms of damage, but you gain variance in proc, higher overall accuracy, and slightly more evasion due to two W-EV scores. 

Combine both of these with the fact that WP is in general seeing cuts (WP not exceeding 20) and both Two Hands and Two Swords are very much "fixed" with little actual work done - and because Two Swords and Martial Arts can't be stacked, Two Swords fists also become far less of an issue while Monk setups suddenly gain a ton more depth.

[The Damned]

(My, you've been busy since 4:30 A.M.)

It shows how out of it I was when it took me a while to realize what FFT:KO meant despite the title. Although that might partly due to the fact that KO will ALWAYS stand for "Knockout" to me, so....

1. Squire: I'm guessing everything past Heal is still Ramza-only? Otherwise, all these changes seem reasonable.

2. Chemist: I can't say that I like Potion being free and Elixir being so cheap while Phoenix Down & Move-Find Item both cost 50. I'd say to make Potion cost 50, make Phoenix Down & Move-Find Item free and make Elixir cost 600. Even before my dislike of Elixir kicks in, I just find it quite odd that Auto-Potion and Elixir cost exact same amount.

3. Knight: Honestly, it seems like Weapon Guard should be free if it's not innate. Otherwise, I guess all changes fine--I'm glad to see that Speed Break is Slow-only now (even if Speed Save is still around). You have Head Break down twice, though; I'm guessing that the second instance is Weapon Break.

4. Archer: This is fine. I can't say I like it much that Speed Save is sticking around, but I doubt it's going anywhere unfortunately.

5. Priest: This seems fine from a glance, though that's a lot of changes smushed together. I'm surprised that you didn't make Holy unable to be evaded, though I guess that's because Priests shouldn't really be attack mages....

6. Wizard: This seems fine from a glance. I'm not really sure why you bothered making Death Dark elemental, though. I don't remember it working on Lucavi in vanilla and the only thing that would really affect would be having N-Kai Armlet halve its success rate. Then again, Death was like 900 JP in vanilla, right? I'm not sure I ever bought it or, at least, tried to use it more than once.

7. Monk: These changes are largely fine with me, though others might not like the changes to Stigma Magic and Chakra. Speaking of which, with regards to Stigma Magic, having it only target the self means it can't heal about half of the things it's "supposed" to heal, but given that I hate Monk and its free, I don't really care, personally. However, I just figured I should point that out.

8. Thief: I'm sure that people who try to steal from Elmdor will appreciate Steal no longer being affected by Blade Grasp. Damn that was annoying. Otherwise fine.

9. Oracle: Always good to see some love given to Dispel Magic. Maybe other people will use that thing now. Life Drain dying is...still annoying but needed, I guess. Need to see Paralyze become single-target only and Sleep get a decrease, I'm guessing because of Mediator; it says "not" instead of "now" by Sleep's percentage, though. Foxbird causing Oil now is good. It's going to need a name change, though, to something besides just "Oil" I hope.

10. Time Mage: Rather surprised that MP Switch would stick around (as available to both genders) and that Don't Move would be reduced to single-target, though I suppose can see the symmetry. Otherwise, I guess these changes are fine.

11. Geomancer: All necessary changes.

12. Lancer: I'm not really seeing why Jump Vertical 7 & 8 were removed or why Ignore Height is even more expensive now, but otherwise is this fine I guess.

13. Mediator: Increasing all of Talk Skill's ranges? I'm...not sure I agree with that, but I can see why you did that. I agree with the RSM changes at least.

14. Summoner: I'm going to assume you mean all offensive summons are affected by Counter Magic & Counter Flood and not things like Moogle, Carbunkle & Fairy. Golem being removed is necessary, though it makes me wonder even more why MP Switch gets to stick around.... I don't really agree with Salamander hitting everything or Odin having a chance of Death, though I can see why you did those things; the same with Silf being Wind elemental, but that's more because that hardly does anything aside from 108 Gems boost, though I guess it's something. Also, wasn't Cyclops already non-elemental? RSM-wise, I agree with MP Restore's change, but I think that Half of MP should cost at least a bit more. It might be fine at 500, though.

15. Samurai: I'm not sure why these are still unable to be dodged when Elemental becomes evadable, especially given that you barely nerfed Kikuichimo(n)ji. The other changes are fine, though I forget if you can get other Masamune. If not, then Haste OR Regen seems rather underwhelming for something will break on you almost a fifth of the time.

16. Ninja: Hmm...I guess you can't get more Masamune if you took away throw Katana from Ninja. While I can understand the reduction of its skill set, it seems odd to have kept Books around as throwing items over more pointy objects like Axes as amusing as throwing dictionaries in people faces is. RSM changes are fine.

17. Calculators: All these changes seem fine. Are Calculators going to keep their abysmal speed, though?

18. Dancer: I'm rather surprised you're letting Slow Dance stick around after the change to Speed Break. Not much to say besides that those it's weird to see Wiznaibus/With Knives become 200, even if I can understand why.

19. Bard: I'm rather surprised you're letting Cheer Song stick around after the change to Speed Break. Not much to say besides that those it's weird to see Life Song become 200, even if I can understand why.

20. Holy Knight: These changes all seem part for the course, though the fact that these are evadable makes Draw Out's continued lack of evasion seem even more weird.

21. Divine Knight: See above. What do you mean by "not allow elements"? Do you mean found a way for it not take the element of the sword even with the fix?

22. Dark Knight: See above.

23. Ark Knight: This is Zalbag, right? I guess these are fine.

24. Heaven Knight: I guess these are fine.

25. Hell Knight: I guess these are fine.

26. Assassin: That change to Stop Breath is probably necessary, though I'm somewhat surprised you didn't change Shadow Stitch or reduce its range given that Assassin's use it a lot more compared to Seal, which I think was glitched for them in vanilla due to AI Behavior. Otherwise, I guess these are fine.

27. Byblos: I guess these are fine.

28. Lucavi: That range on Hold Tight might be a bit much, especially if you're reducing normal Don't Move. Darkness probably needs it, though I can't recall Zalera ever using it, so something might be wrong with it. Otherwise, I guess these changes are fine.

29. Impure King: 0 MP is fine. 0 CT is...probably bad since it has the side effect of making the Gate of Limberry castle and Elidibs fights impossible what with the Apanda now having instant attacks. Just give Cuchuulain Non-Charge.

30. Angel of Death: These seem fine. You'll probably need to give Zalera a reason to use Darkness over these, though, evadable aspects aside. What was the range and AoE of Flare 2 again? It was AoE 1, right? (I don't have FFTPatcher currently open right now, obviously, and I can't open it for a bit.)

31. Regulator: These changes seem good, though I can rather easily see Melt backfiring given how idiotic the AI is when it comes to Death Sentence.

32. Bloody Angel: I'm...not really sure about these, mostly Return 2 and Mute being instant, though.

33. Engineer: These changes make sense. Won't they have the "act and then cancel by moving" problem, though?

34. Temple Knight: These seem fine. Although, I must admit that I'm curious why you just didn't make Chicken add Oil if you made Foxibrd do so. Was it allow Oracles to have at least one advantage over Beowulf?

35. Dragoner: These fine I suppose. Linear Holy Breath is a lot better than random Holy Breath in my opinion.

36. SOLDIER: The changes to Climhazzard and Finish Touch were necessary, especially if nothing has a CT anymore. I'm not sure about anything else, though, especially Cherry Blossom and Cross Slash having a chance to cause Stop.

[Eternal]

MP Switch/Move-MP Up:
MP Switch and Move-MP Up would be seperate if this were my patch alone... but since this is trying to stay true to Vanilla, I hesitated in breaking them up.

Foxbird:
Foxbird would probably be remain the same name just to stay true to Vanilla. Elsewise, I'd probably rename it "Unction" or something to match FFTA2.

Lancers:
Vertical Jump 7/8 were mostly removed so that mages wouldn't be outclassed in reaching high-up enemies. I was tempted to keep them, and I don't see them really changing too much, so I wouldn't be averse to putting at least 7 back then. I like the idea of keeping 8 as Izlude-only, though.

Summoners:
Salamander is hit-all namely to keep it from being just a stronger version of Ifrit, and to differentiate it from Ifrit. Silf is pretty different now that it damages, instead of just adding Silence, and it gives Wind much needed representation. Half of MP could probably stand to be 600/650 JP. I'm undecided on it. We'll see what the others have to say.

Samurai:
IIRC, Draw Outs are hardcoded not to accept evasion, MP costs, and CT. I've run into the latter two issues when working on PW. If anything, maybe another nerf in damage would be in order? For Masamune, I was thinking of making it something like Haste/Reraise or something, but that seems a bit much.

Calculator:
As per FDC's suggestion, I wouldn't be averse to giving them normal Speed now that their skillsets are a bit more balanced.

Slow Dance/Cheer Song:
I'm fine with actual Speed modding on these simply because of how long it takes for the effects to stack up, as opposed to making them inflict Slow/Haste, which will almost always be good no matter when you use them.

Assassin:
You're absolutely right. Among other... oddities... Vanilla had Seal checked off as "Cancel Status" instead of "Add Status" under the AI flags. They should use it more now, hopefully.

Impure King:
I'm more worried about the MP costs than the CT, honestly, since we're trying to stay true to Vanilla here. I'd be okay with restoring the CT, if others here also agree with it.

Bloody Angel:
Mostly made them 0 CT so the AI wouldn't always be a sitting target for extra damage. Same reasoning for giving Bio 0 CT. She is the final boss, afterall.

Engineer:
I think FFM found a fix for that bug. I'll ask him later.

Temple Knight:
Oversight on my part. If we weren't sticking to Vanilla, I'd likely give him Swordskills using Geomancy's formula with the debuffs as a bonus or something.

SOLDIER:
I wish we had a decent PA formula we could use for these instead of MA. It'd make life much easier. Cherry Blossom is FFT's reference to Kjata, which is why it's tri-elemental now. The animation backs that up. Cross-Slash inflicts Paralysis in VII, so I wanted to not only reference that, but try and distinguish it a bit from Braver.

EDIT: Apparently Asmo's list has seperation of MP Switch/Move-MP Up, as well as killing Hamedo. I think I'll do those afterall then. Move-MP Up switched to Dancer (They move, afterall. They're dancers) MP Switch moved to Bard.

Lancers:
I like the idea of keeping 8 as Izlude-only, though.

The only map Izlude appears on has a max vertical difference of like 6 and a mean vertical difference of about 3-4.  Derpy Hooves...

Calculator:
As per FDC's suggestion, I wouldn't be averse to giving them normal Speed now that their skillsets are a bit more balanced.

I don't like this Calculator set for a few reasons.  

1.  Calculatable tier 2 magic results in a lot of hurt still.
2.  Cure/Regen/Protect/Shell all but obviates White Magic.  

My recommendation for fixing this is switching the tier 2s with tier 1s, switching Protect/Shell with the far lesser used Reraise, and switching Doubt Faith with Pray Faith.  This allows the Calculator to boost itself if it wants to inflict more damage via Fire/etc., use of Reraise allows Priest to keep distinction with the more commonly used Protect/Shell, and the tier 1 innate magic is works well because it keeps the job controlled but also opens up combo potential between elements and Pray Faith.  I'd also toss Esuna in there to keep the 4-4-4-4 parity, since the fact it hits both teams lowers how much it obviates Priest drastically since a bad-status based team can't make good use of it, just as a positive-status based team can't make good use of Dispel.  Basically, keeps the Calculator with parity and having things for everyone, but makes only some of the Swiss Army Knife worthwhile based on your own team and forces you to think outside the box some to get the most bang for your buck, which is really the best way to balance out Math Skill personally.

Hey, you know Eternal, we do have a formula that makes perfect sense for Cloud and his Limit Breaks.  It's called 2D Dmg_PA*(WP+Y) 100% Add Status as Indexed.
