FFTA:DOUBLECAST
0.50 Beta
First of all I want to clarify something, the mod that I will present below I started it years ago as a personal project, but the advances were sporadic, even so the result was pretty good, the thing is that by a miscalculation I damaged the OS of my computer and I was forced to reinstall everything from zero, losing this and other projects even more important to me, luckily thanks to the only backup at my disposal which was on my smartphone, I could continue this specific one, but from a somewhat outdated version in which the voices of some new units are not the ones that correspond to them, but not having any other information regarding my mod, (use of free space and stuff) I was forced to continue this way, because the mod has many changes (I also did some things whose procedure I do not remember) and do everything from scratch would be a lot of work, there are still things to do, but I decided to publish the mod in an improvised way to not regret it later, I clarify that I will do my best to update it when I have availability, but I have my obligations like everyone, so I do not promise anything, and of course, you are invited to test and give your opinions about the mod.
Without further ado, I present Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Doublecast, a frenetic version that will allow you to make crazy and interesting combinations:
GENERAL FEATURES:
-Base and balance from FFTA Revisited (2.0 I think)
-All playable humanoid jobs start with the "Doublecast" skill learned except for one exception per race.
-All humanoid jobs have free access to the ITEM command.
-Modified and deleted objects.
-Range for the use of potions and similar increased (FFT style).
-Modified item prices and quest rewards.
-All playable classes can use shields and more variety of weapons.
-Some items are only reserved for enemies.
All jobs (playable and non-playable) have received changes, some slight, other jobs have massive changes.
-Many new, modified and removed skills.
-Both monsters and humanoids can be recruited by completing the corresponding quests (You can recruit monsters almost from the beginning).
-New playable jobs.
-Learning vanilla skills.
-Laws and cards.
-Combos
-Totema.
MONSTERS:
-New skills or vanilla modifications.
-Monsters can change to their variant trades (some from the beginning, and others after learning some skills), but these become more of a visual change, at least mostly, but the resistances and elemental weaknesses are kept.
-Monsters have access to all their abilities in each command variant.
-Monsters learn skills in the same way as the blue mage does ("Learning" passive), reaction and support skills are learned by default.
-You can equip accessories and armor to your monsters.
-When capturing monsters from your own team you create a copy in the monster bank without losing your unit.
