Just me expressing my FFT dream Ideas

[wemustexpandordie]

Now I'm sure plenty of you thought about how you would make Final Fantasy tactics your way.

Unfortunately most of our dream ideas probably aren't practical or even possible. Even if they are practical perhaps many of our ideas are popular.

This post is just here for philosophical purposes.




my gameplay concepts
-maps where you can interact with things. Ex. Cannons you can fire, switches you can flip

-being able to change a map's geography. Ex. Geomancer erecting a stone block on a movement square, moving crates and stuff, closing/opening gates

-more physical aspects. Ex. pushing people back like an attack sometimes does, knock people into traps or maybe a fire.

-ridable chocobo's that come with map



My job system concepts
-Instead of buying abilities with JP. How about gain them with Job Level Ups? It may make the job system less customizable but it has its Pros. One Pro is that maybe the generic enemies would come up with better job stats. Another is it might be easier to replace dead units.

-A 'Scroll system' Every time you discover a new Job or get a Job level up you get a 'Scroll of Knowledge' which means if you lose the guy he can be replaced at the soldier's officer. To be honest I think this idea could actually be balanced with a few modifications. Of course this can't be programed can it?

-More frequent use of negatives statuses and more ability to fix them. Ex. Stone, Frog, chicken, atheist, undead (curse)

-really cool ideas for Fantasy jobs- Ex. some sort of magical 'Artist' job. To be honest I don't have enough imagination for this one.



Items
-Remedy and holy water able to cure almost everything and available from the beginning of the game.

-Chemist's items that give negative status effects

-Chemist items that give temporary bonus

-Weapon bonuses. (first remove zodiac from formula of physical attacks)
Ex. Axe= higher chance to break equipment
Club/maces= more damage, but doesn't work with attack abilities
Sword= bonus vs spear and axe
Spear= 2 range (i Know already exist), less height limits, and bonus damage to chocobo riders
Ninja blade= nothing
Katana= Bonus damage vs Sword,Ninja blade, knives




That's all i can think of for now. Anyone else wanna share their unexpressed ideas?

NO NEED TO CRITICIZE

What's the point, then?


No one's likely to implement your ideas except you. Of course, discussing ideas can be helpful to all involved, but you're specifically asking people NOT discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of your ideas, so that's not it either.

Shouting to the wind for cathartic reasons, maybe?

I apologize if i wasn't clear. What i mean is, don't expect me to list ideas to actually be implemented.This is here just for fun of expression. Other than that go ahead and criticize as long as its for conversation's sake.

Oh and Dome. Is that the category this should be in? Can i in anyway move this?

[st4rw4k3r]

No its fine if you keep the topic here. You're expressing this for fun.
That subfolder Dome linked is for a Multiplayer FFT that is being made.

I want a game all about goblins... wait.

Fair enough.

It's just when I hear "no criticism!" I actually hear "My ideas are perfect and don't tell me otherwise." But we've established there was a miscommunication, so everything's good then

No one has their list of ideas to share? They don't have to be realistic, remember.

Some of your ideas sound pretty cool, if you would like to see some other ideas, i would suggest skimming thru the New Project Ideas section,
there is lots of fun ideas there, tho most haven't ever made it out of that section due to being abandoned, some are still quite a lot fun or cool
ideas there that might spark your interest

I recall one of the RPG Maker series of games, I think the first one on PSX, had a sample game that came with it that was in fact all about random monsters in RPGs and you played as a lowly goblin. You should go find that, St4r. You might like it.

[st4rw4k3r]

oh? Wow I will gladly start searching for that. Thank you.

I linked that subforum because that's a game made from scratch...so, there, anything can be done
