Final Fantasy Hacktics

I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I don't know if anyone's done it yet. How about converting all the skills like Thief, Dancer, Bard, and Knight into one ability? Instead of Steal EXP and Steal Helm, the game completely randomizes which ability will be used. Steal Heart will have to be tweaked or excluded though. You will probably have to heighten the chances of getting a successful Steal or Rent in the game to make it more fair.

Hello. Just wondering what everybody's favorite original soundtrack is in FFT. Can you post the name of the psx and psp soundtrack?

Hello. I'm still not familiar with what you can and cannot do with ASM hacking, so these ideas may not be doable. Please let me know whether or not they can be done.

Worker 8 needs to be repaired before it can join your party. This is basically just to make the game a tad bit harder. Some of Worker 8's parts are hidden in Ivalice, and you have to travel around the world map to find the parts. When you land on a certain area on the map, a text will pop up  saying that you found one of the parts. I don't know if this can be done, but maybe replacing one of the Items in the Deep Dungeon/ Midlight's Deep with a Worker 8 part would make it even more challenging. I suggest replacing the Kiyomori, since that can be bought at the Outfitter.

Teleportation has less of a chance of failing, but now cost MP. Not sure if that one has been proposed yet. Master Teleportation will remain the same.

Nyzer was saying how you can't have item consuming abilities, but does this also apply to the Formation/ Party Roster and not just a job ability?

Destroying eggs will now give you common Poached Items.

Phoenix Downs (or some other item) can be used to hatch eggs immediately

Gardener
Ability: Nature's Way
Prerequisites: Monk lvl. 5, Onion knight lvl. 3

To replace the Geomancer. The Gardener job is basically a spinoff of the Samurai job with Geomancer and Dragoner/ Dragonskin skills.

Is there somewhere in the forum where I can view completed ideas for  jobs for inspiration?

BTW. Love everyone else's jobs in the Jobs proposal thread

Ok.

I understand. I'm going to reserch some more before I post again. No problem with the crit: I need it!

I just want to see it actually go somewhere feasible, rather than running headfirst into a brick wall.

Running headfirst into brick walls: it's what I do best at. (See Uribos)

Concerning my earlier post...

Shin-ra infantryman: Suppresion wouldn't work, would it?

Scientist: Definitely throw Examine out the window
Taking back what I said about the Scientists not having the Chemist skills. I think the Scientists should keep that.

Incubate must die!!!! (For now.)

Ok. I'm going to go research some patches now.

Oh ok.

Hello. I don't know if anybody has proposed this before or if it's already a thing, but IT was thinking what if monsters have jobs? Monsters still don't earn JP, but they can either get new jobs either by gaining five levels in their current job, or by getting a certain amount of crystallizations. IDK, this might crash the game because of too many monster sprites in use, but would be quite fun, even if it's only one monster type that gets a job. Additionally, either you can recruit the monster from the soldier office or Poaching den once you've encountered them. Monsters will have only three attacks, all learned, and the Beastmaster skill is now useless.

Some ideas would be adding more chocobos, seeing that there are already so msny chocobo sprites already done. White chocobo, Gold chocobo, armored chocobo (that can equip armor, hooray!) and a chocobo cannon ( yes a chocobo cannon) would be cool

The Malmboro (I forgot who made that, it was Alma inside a Malboro sprite I believe) would be awesome.


If you think this can be made possible, I will work on monster job ideas right away!

Hello again. Back with more FF7 ideas. These may or may not work,just saying. I am eager to hear your feedback.

Turk
Spycraft
Prerequisites: 3rd Class Soldier Lv. 2
Infantry man Lv. 2

 Turks can replace Archers, since the Archer Job class sucked anyway..

Stat Growth
Low HP
Moderate MP
Moderate Attack
Moderate Magic
High Speed

Equip.
Weapon: Poles, Flails, Ninja Blades, Axes, Katanas, Guns,  Crossbows
Head: Hat
Body: Clothing



Attacks

Arm Shot, Leg Shot, Seal Evil, Shuriken (Ninja's throw ability),
Stop Bracelet (Celia and Lede's {Lettie's??} attack. Immediate KO, but unlike the Assassin's skill, it's not 100% guaranteed to work. Any Melee weapon required. JP Cost: 450

Hide: (Inspired by JOT5). Grants Invisibility/ Transparent. Basically Snake's attack from JOT5. The Turk's version only affects Self however.
Description: Disappear from an enemy's sight to prepare for  a killing strike.
Range: Self    Radius. 1    Effect:    Invisibility/ Transparent    JP Cost: 200   NOW     MP Cost: 5

Silent Shot: Fire at an enemy without triggering the lost of Invisibility/Transparency. The attack is guaranteed to work, but not guaranteed to let you maintain Invisibility/ Transparent Status.
Description: "Slaughter the enemy's forces from the shadows, picking them off one by one."
JP Cost: 200      NOW    No MP Cost

Smoke Bomb: Invisibility for your troops and blindness to the enemy. Use Reis' Holy Breath animation for the smoke?

JP Cost: 800.  Range:Self.   Radius: 3.   Vert.3 Target:Allies and Enemies
Effect: (Ally) Invisibility.    (Enemy). Blind

Air Strike: Not sure if this one would work, since it would require a custom animation. This is basically a summon of a helicopter, flying around and then leaving. I believe you have to replace a summon to have  a new summon, so maybe get rid of Ilfrit.
Description: Call a helicopter from HQ to shower a barrage of bullets upon the enemy.
JP Cost: 300.  Range: 4. Radius. 3.  Vert.  2.  (Enemies). Mp: 24. Speed.15. 

Reactions:
Bullet Dodge:   Dodge projectiles from Guns, bows, and crossbows.

That's all for this post. I will try to send Second and First class Soldier proposals soon, and I'm thinking of replacing the Thief, Ninja, and Samurai with Wutai troops (IDK what though.) If you guys have any ideas, please PM me

Hello everyone. Just curious to see if it's possible to create a sprite potrait that moves, like a GIF or repeated animation. I've seen many peeps on FFH do it for their avatars, but can it be done in FFT. I'm not sure if someone has already posyed this question yet, and if I'm posting this question in the wrong area, please let me know.

I understand @Nyzer. I've already seen some of the things you've done on here like JOT5, and will look into more of the patches here. Thanks for the feedback!

That was my first post by the way. Coming up: The Turks and the Soldiers: 3,2, and 1 class!

Hello. I'm new here. I love the work and dedication you are putting into this game. I didn't know that FFT could be taken so far!! I have no skill in spriting or coding (like @Daizengar, but I have some ideas for some generic jobs and Special jobs as well....


Ever wonder what it would be like if Shin-ra took over Ivalice (If you  haven't, then it looks like I'm the only weirdo here.)? FFT generic jobs get taken over by Soldier here! Six generic jobs to replace or add to the collection of jobs in FF Tactics: The Shin-ra Infantry man, the Turks, Shin-ra Scientists, and 3rd, 2nd, and 1st class Soldiers!

I play the WOTL version of FFT, and don't know the names of every FFT spell or job or ability in the PSX version. Nevertheless, I will try my best to address a subject by the PSX name, along with the PSP version.

Constructive criticism is welcome.

I haven't finished with making every single description for each character and attack, and you re welcome to modify or finish them if you would like to.


You are free to use this idea without my permission, and you can remix or change it however you like.

Alright! Onto the ideas!


Shin-ra Infantry Man
Ability: Battle Tech.
Prerequisites: None
Description: The bulk of Shin-ra's army, the Infantry Man is the first big step into becoming a Soldier.

This class was meant to replace the squire. Shin-ra Infantry Men are obviously meant to be an early game job, but since it more interesting attacks and abilities, and can equip a variety of weapons, you may use them throughout the entirety of the game.

Stat. Growth

HP: Moderate
MP: Low
Attack: Moderate
Defense: Moderate




Equip.

Weapons:  Daggers, Guns, Poles (Closest thing to a baton???)
Head: Hats
Body: Clothing


Attacks

Focus (Wasn't it Accumalate or something in PSX?)
Rush
Potion
Ether
Phoenix Down

Barrage: An attack Balthier can learn in WOTL. Can it work on PSX?


Squat: Exactly like Focus/ Accumalate, but it increases 1+ speed rather than attack. Same animation use.
Description: Squat to increase the unit's focus and speed.  Soldiers do the every day.
JP cost: 300 Range: self     Radius: 1

Dynamite: Pretty much allows the use of throwing bombs early game.
Description: Throw an explosive at the enemy from your inventory.


JP cost: 70

Suppresion: Immobilizes an enemy with a flurry of shots to Immobilize them. It would be cool if the animation of the suppresion is just the Shin-ra soldier attacking over and over again, even after the unit's turn. So basically it's a repeated animation of attacking until the unit's turn comes around again. If you have a whole bunch of infantrymen using suppresion, you could have a fire fight going on. I don't know if that would work well for the device you are playing on however. Would this be possible?
Description: Launch a flurry of attacks onto an opponent, forcing them to not move. Has a small chance of doing damage.

Reactions: Counter Tackle

Support: JP Boost, Defend, Equip Guns, Beastmaster

Move: Move +1, Accrue JP?, Treasure hunter


Scientist
Ability: Research
Description: Crucial for the deveopment of Shin-ra's products, Scientists are dedicated to the research and evolution of Soldier.


Something to replace the Chemist job. The crucial abilities needed for early game were transferred to the Shin-ra Infantry Man. Stuff like Maiden's kiss and golden needle can be substituted by the white mage/priest's Ensuna.

Stat. Growth
HP: Low
MP: High
Attack: Low
Magic: Moderate


Equip.
Weapons: None
Head: Hat
Body: Clothing

Attacks:
Examine:Any opponent that was examined by the Scientists does 30% less damage to that unit.
Description: Studies the opponent's customs and method of attack, and records kt dwn for future use.
JP Cost: 270   Range 3 Radius: 1

Mako up: Increase Mag. Points by 1. Basically like Focus/Accumalate
Description: Infuse one's self with Mako, boosting the unit's magick power.
JP Cost: 300  Range: self. Radius: 1

Lecture: Similar to the Mimic Darvolon  Orator/talker skill. Has the same animation.
Description: Bore the enemy to sleep with long redundant reports about mako levels.
JP Cost: 300   Rang: 3.  Vertical:   3 Radius:   2.  Effect: Sleep

Incubate: puts a ko'd unit into an incubator. The unit will still be KO'd,  and will hav the KO countdown. Once countdown reaches 0 however, the incubator will disappear and th unit will hve full HP, MP, CT set to 100, and all status effects from equipment restored. Sn imcubtor sprite will have to b mde in rder for this thing to work.
Description: Place a fallen ally in an incubator, slowly reviving them.
JP Cost: 450  MP Cost: 8  Range: 1. Vert.  1.  Radius. 1

Rocket Fall: An attack simlar to Reis's Holy Breath, hitting random tiles. For the animation, I imagine using the Grenade monster's Bomblet attack.

Description: Launch multiple missiles in enemy's direction. Not very accurate.
JP Cost: 700 Range: 4.  Radius.  3.    Vert.   3.

Reaction: Mako Frenzy: Raises Magick power by 1. Same animation as Pa save/adrenaline rush.
Description: Consume an overdose of Mako,  getting stronger  in Magick as th battle wages on.
JP Cost: 750     Trigger: HP loss

Status
Safeguard

Curiousity: Whenever hit by a magick spell, the unit with. Curiousity will temporarily learn the spell, and can use it for the remainder of the battle as long as they meet the MP cost. Special character spells do not trigger Curiousity.
JP Cost: 1500

Move set
Accrue exp

Apologies for all the spelling mistakes you may find here. I have the stupidest auto-correct ever. I will try to send my next post on a different device. I will be busy next couple of days, but will be back to finish this thing off. Until then, have a nice day!
