Monster Changes in Mercenaries (Assistance much appreciated)

[Wasabi]

Initial: Slow, movement of 2 and mediocre - high speed for Iron Giants is fine with me. In fact, I think it's better than my suggestion of lowering speed.

[MiKeMiTchi]

I don't know much about skills, but I'll contribute with the sprites.
I've finished a quick sprite for the skeleton.

[LastingDawn]

Perfect but uh... where's the portrait?

[MiKeMiTchi]

Haha. I forgot the portrait!!! hmm..
I was going to be late for school so I didn't have time to place it.

I still need to edit it once I go home so it isn't officially finished yet, but playable.

Great work Mike. So, Goblin will be done as well? ^^

[dwib]

The only way to get rid of it is to set yourself on fire.

liking this a lot!

there are tons of other ideas for other monsters that are definitely possible sprite-wise such as
Death Claw
http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/deathclaw.shtml
Cactuar
http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/cactuar.shtml
Catoblepas (FFV version)
http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/catoblepas.shtml

also if that flan spite is still being worked on it could easily be used as a base for a hecteyes sprite

[Sephirot24]

Oooohhh Catoblepas, Hecteyes, Cactuar... they're awesome. Being that FFIX is my favorite FF of all the time, I'm in love with classic FF stuff ^^

[MiKeMiTchi]

Good thinking everyone.
Well, here's the finished Skeleton sprite.
Test it everyone!

I'm going to submit this in the site submissions
if I ever finish more palettes.

[Vanya]

You should submit it anyway. Ppl can add their own palettes are use the ones from the original sprite.
This is yet another thing I was planning on doing that got bone by someone else.

Edit: As a matter of fact I took the liberty to apply the other 2 original palettes...

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yes, thanks Vanya! I liked the green and red palettes.
I should submit it now.

[Vanya]

No problem! Thanks to you for making it in the first place! ^_^

[LastingDawn]

Thank you very much Vanya, this should fix the problems.

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ Updated the palettes. The .spr file can be found on the site submissions.

Great work Mike. So, Goblin will be done as well? ^^

Hmm.. maybe no, since they will not be able to equip swords?

[boomkick]

Just throwing a random idea out there for Chocobos since i'm kinda too lazy to read through the rest of the pages i missed.

Monster Skill- Choco Gust - Deals random wind damage in a 2 AOE. Four Range Instant Cast.

[Vanya]

Goblins should be able to equip knives, LD!! |:(
If you want to have stuff that harkens to earlier FF games that one is a must have!!

See! They almost always have a knife:

[LastingDawn]

I guess I never really considered that... Alright, knife it is, but that will make them well... I shiver at their power and numbers, if they happen to get a few PA Saves along with a five hit Multi-Strike, heh... alright, Knives sound good then. If someone doesn't mind to complete the Goblin sprite, I'll be pretty much obliged to give Knives to them, hehe.

[Vanya]

Limit them to only the weakest knife?
They've also been known to use flails and axes.

[Zaen]

Flails and axes? That's overkill. Catoblepas would be amazing, but I prefer the VIII version.

Goblins should be fine with knives, no worry about the weakest only.

[Wasabi]

I like the idea for adding Cactuars, but... can anyone imagine them equipping any gear? Accessories might work, but I have no real knowledge of the accessories in Mercernaries. Maybe something that increases their ungodly evasion rates? I can only imagine seeing them equipped with cloaks to find them rather cute and comedic. ^^

[dwib]

Catoblepas would be amazing, but I prefer the VIII version.

Might as well just recolor a Behemoth in that case

Knives on Goblins is a great idea! Don't limit them too much on knives though... make their strongest possible knife have WP 5 or so? (equivalent of platina dagger)

I'd imagine cactuars would have high c-ev... no equips needed
