Here I will list all of the job changes including what is available to the player as well as the characters that possess special jobs. Abilities will be discussed in a separate thread.
Also, below you will find a visual of the current human roster, excluding Ramza. As you will see there are more available to recruit than you have space for so you will have to make some choices further down the line.
Aliste has been left out of this, but will be available at the same place you would normally recruit Beowulf.

You make this patch for PSP? Just... Aliste is in the PSP version...
I hope this goes for the PSP as well, that would be so cool.
wow what is this what not
Currently the PSX version is being worked on.
Aliste has been added in. and you find out in the story that He defeated beowulf. Later, at Nelveska you are forced to fight Reis who seeks vengeance for the death of her love.
LOL! What about the black chick? I wanna RAEP her. And what about my baby Ignis? She still going to be at DD for recruitment?
Yeah, chances are, Ignis will be the last special unit you get since she is at the END of DD. since her skillset is similar to draw out, i might make her have lvl8 Samurai unlocked.
Tamera? haven't decided where to place her as of yet
LOL! Should be mastered. What about Barret? Will he be using guns just like Mustadio? Have same skill set or like Cloud's Limit Break?
Barrent and Aeris wont have as many skills as cloud. Barret will have long range skills that wont require a gun, that is IF i can get his gun arm/defending animation to activate for his skills. He has innate martial arts which will boost his skills, so monk is an excellent job for him to train on as well.
Heh a monk Barret.
What is Aeris job BTW?
"Flower Merchant"
she'll have about 4 skills which target all allys on the map. or enemies for the last skill.
Healing Wind
Cura spread over all allies anywhere on the map.
Breath of Earth
Esuna spread over all allies anywhere on the map.
Planet Protector
Protect/Shell spread over all allies anywhere on the map.
Holy(2)
spread over all enemies anywhere on the map.
Aww you not gonna use the FFVII Aeris sprite?
I wanted to, however...
Not to offend anyone but none of them look quite the way i want. I prefer the dancer body/arms with an added red jacket but with the lines in the front of the dress removed and have GOOD shading. At the same time, i kind of like the idea of using THIS worlds AeirS over the other one.
Heh ok. Surprised you didnt try to like "make" an Aeris sprite for REMIX.
Hmmm playing as beatrix...scary, yet exiting thought.
I wanna test the black chick Tamera? Wait, she an enemy unit right? What were you plan on giving her?
the characters in this picture is your HUMAN roster.
but i havent chosen where to add in Tamera. Due to the large cast, she will be a bonus character with little dialog (at this current time anyway).
Tamera will have 4 skills
Gather Power: Pa+2
Endure: that instantly casts Protect/Shell/Defend
?????:
Haymaker: a powerful close range strike
Beatrix is also a bonus character but she may have more to the story.
shell have,
(what was the other one she had in ff9?)
Stock Break
Thunder Slash
Climhazzard
yay, but doesn't cloud already have climhazzard? Will it be the same thing, a different thing, or a variation?
oh yess its different, this is more like the ff9 Climhazzard
i will be using the Omnislash animation for this.
besides, as you can see, cloud is no longer on the roster.
lol Haymaker. I like units with Gather Power.
*Cries that Cloud isnt on REMIX*
hmm, ok. Will Valmafra be a sorceror or a witch of the coven, or something else? She was sorceror in A multiplayer level, and witch of the coven in one of the test levels it seems...
Arch Witch
she will be quite a useful character, most of her skills are status
like Sleep 2/Confuse 2/Blind 2
however she also gets the BIG ultima, I guess you could say having All-Ultima would make her broken but its revamped to be used by the player.
99 mp cost and a higher CT, so get either short charge or half of mp.
She comes in place of Orlandu
LOL Short Charge

the other one was shock
XD it seems unavoidable to have 2 versions of shock, i guess since biblos is gone ill revamp the other one.
Change job names like priest and wizard to white mage and black mage. And lancer to be named as Dragon.
I agree,but dragoon,not dragon...or was that a typo?....doesn't matter
Yeah, I most likely will do Dragoon instead of lancer
Priest and Wizard arent as important to change, but i might do that as well to be more FF like
Rafa and Malak
Their job will be the same, basically a ninja that uses the 3 elemental Skeans like on ff6, instead of Throw (which i will give them as secondary)
maybe ill call the skillset Jutsu? but what about the job name?
----------
There's another thing as well. Since blue mages will be joining the wheel of jobs I suppose i could make a blue version of the red mage on the sight, but what about the female........?

I like what where you're heading with this. Miang = Hexer/Hagzissa? Witch Knight?

I think I encountered a bug Zozma. I got a girl named Alma Cleric at Zigolis Swamp. She can do Braver, Accumlate, and 2 other skills but I didnt see.
the skills aren't properly named and i dont think you have the sprite. it actually isnt a bug just an entd change accommodating a new character.
However, she will be removed from that location and your first encounter with "Miang" will be there. "braver" and the skill below it might come in handy tho for time being. That was where Tamera was going to be put in. but that idea has been changed.
maybe a pic will help...
Ah ok.
For Barret, maybe job could be Avalanche.
How about Hydrokinesis for Deis' skill set?
As for Gin and Zozma's jobs how about Earth Bound and Wind Bound?
Oh and for Ignis you were thinking Kikuikimonji.
Olan
Job: Astrologist
Skillset: Starry Heaven
Galaxy Stop
Hasten (Haste all allys)
Delay Order (Slow All enemies)
Return (Return2)
all of these skills will have the same range as galaxy stop. Haste2 and Slow2 are NOT the same version that time mages have and could do for slightly different names. Galaxy Stop and Return will have MP costs as well
Also for the Beatrix Paladin how about Chivalry for the skillset? It's old but I think it works in the case of paladins.
that sounds pretty good actually
Chivalry from FFTA.... Nice
Actually I wasn't thinking FFTA I was thinking D&D Paladins having to follow the rules of Chivalry.
Izlude
Job: Knight Blade
Equip: Sword, Knight Sword, Ninja Blade, Katana
Skillset: Mighty Sword
Shellbust Stab
Blastar Punch
Hellcry Punch
Icewolf Bite
Unlike the original version of FFT. Mighty sword skills have a 100% chance to do hp damage to monsters and unequipped humans. The only defense against this is to have "Maintenance" equipped. Beware of this when you encounter the other divine knights as well.
I always figured Izlude would be more Dragoon based.
Also note I made suggestions before Olan was posted.
Zalbag
Job: Holy Knight
Skillset: Holy Sword
Need i say more? We all know what the holy sword set has in it. Zalbag will be your holy swordsman instead of Agrias
Mustadeo
Job: Engineer
Skillset: Snipe
Leg Aim
Arm Aim
Seal Evil
Blast - [Blue magic learned from the enemy only "Sniper" job, uses the same effect file as "compress" range of weapon]
having 1 more skill is really the only thing new about Mustadeo, who is very lucky to be the only special unit that wasn't swapped out for someone else.
I will quit if Mustadio is gone!!!! My 3rd fav character
yeah DP i saw that post, I'll consider them Hydrokenisis sounds doable. its hard to think of matching ones for wind and earth
Pyrokinesis
Hydrokinesis
Terrakinesis
Aerokinesis
i think these will work as i was able to actually google them and find definitions saying the ability to manipulate said element.
as for the job names im not so sure. im not really sure i even like seer for the water and fire names.
Quote from: "BloodyBlade"I will quit if Mustadio is gone!!!! My 3rd fav character
haha, don't worry he ain't goin anywhere, plus he should be funner with that new skill.
Better be!
Make sure Ignis Sword Spirit skills are stronger than the DrawOuts.
Well I've heard of all of them but Terrakinesis, I had not heard of that one.
well terra meaning earth, plus you google it and u get the same definitions as the others
I realize this I had just never heard it before.
Makes perfect sense.
As for job names how about something tribal like:
Fire's Breath
Water's Flow
Earth's Bite
and
Wind's Wrath
?
XD sounds more like spells tho
True enough just off the top of the head suggestions.
would giving beatrix an average healing spell be a worthwhile suggestion? she's a paladin after all
I could do that, i doubt i have enough slots to create a brand new skill for that tho, and it would probably just be a dupe of "Cura" anyway.
but I don't really see the point of it simply because in FFT you pretty much create those kind of jobs unofficially by adding white magic as a secondary.... still i guess it could be done. give her like Cura, Esuna, Life or something
For the elemental jobs you could add the suffix -mancer, or Manipulator, or Caster, or Muse, or a combo of different names... I'm just throwing out random ideas.
I noticed in the image you included Ovelia.
What kind of skill set is she getting?
O:
mancer hmm? maybe... Muse? thats interesting idea for deis too... or perhaps Siren? hrm...
for Ovelia, her skills are listed on the second page of this topic.

Masamune
Chirijiraden
I wonder, at level 99 will she have Kikuichmoji Cachusa Crystal Armor Salty Rage?
she could still have the cachusa and salty rage which are rare items. the other stuff will be random based on what level you are on
Cachusa, and the other 2 adornments now grant decent hp/mp bonuses now. however they have all been converted to "hats" so that all characters can wear them if their job allows it.
Cachusa is definately a useful gear even till the end, just like Golden hair pin which originally had the best mp bonus.
I'm debating weather to make Reflect Mail, which has been changed to "Adamant Armor" something that can be obtained normally thru shops and randoms, or making it rare. DEB comes equipped with one, and it grants a pretty good bonus.
Hmm, maybe Ribbon will be increased also.
yes, basically its like this
Golden Hair Pin HP 80/ MP 50
Barette HP 70/ MP 60
Cachusa HP 60/ MP 70
Ribbon HP 50/ MP 80
why would the highest level hat Ribbon be the lowest hp? because your friggin immune to EVERYTHING, i mean damn...
Yep! Cant wait to poach sume fuckn Wild Bows for it. Or you gonna change it?
i might make them rarer than that like stealing one from a unit during an event battle OR a move find (everything has move find so its easier to lose it)
You Cur!! No matter, so have you thought about what eqipment Ignis will have in DD?
she will have a fixed Cachusa, Salty Rage?, and Chiribalblbabla sword since she finds it instead of you.
the only way to get that sword is to recruit her. (or i guess get it thrown at you)
Oh a new sword called Chirbalblbabla. I never heard of that weapon. Reminds me of Chirijaden.
What about that so called Ninja sword my Ice Dragon got 999 DMG with? Mune.
probably get that from the top of bigbertha volcano, would be a good place since the materia blade is no more.
Lols Zozma can never remember chirijiriden.
Also make a new weapon that looks like the materia blade but uses one of Cloud's limits when you attack.
dunno what im gonna do with that sword yet. I had wanted to make a lower level Knight sword, but the patcher doesn't allow changing the attck gfx. also I haven't made the "shadowbinder" bow yet but i dont know if i need to since ive made units that can use a longrange shadow stitch anyway.
so im changing some plans, for jobs like "joker" and "sniper" they will use generic time mage and archer sprites with alternate palettes (for now)
sooo that means this girl could potentially be a playable OR a special enemy/guest
she will still be the "sniper" job
any ideas for her? role etc?
I think ill call her "Melody"
Melody is hot u could give her singer skills like bard
or you could make her be just somebody who travels around and got pulled in
Alltho she looks like maybe she could be a bard... hmmm interesting idea, a female bard....
Her original job was Sniper which included these skills:
Sidewinder = Poison OR Doom
Heartbreaker = Charm [Ignore gender]
Stun Shot = Stop
Assassination = Dead
Gravity Well = [ Like shooting "Demi" at the target]
Blast = Physical damage, perhaps with formula 2D, range of weapon. Blue magic for Mustadeo. only a few of the snipers will have this one.
Which were gun only skills
This mod needs more discussion.
Okay so Lasting Dawn gave me this idea.
Melodia will be...
Melodia Fenzol (i guess thats the right last name?)
Balk's Daughter! making her a rival to Mustadeo. Will i have enough space to do much with her? who knows but her skills are definately better than his.
she uhh.... definately gets her looks from her mother i guess lol
The sprite is looking great!! Awesome!
As for the job, I haven't read this topic yet. Haha. But I'm gonna and see what its about.
Don't miss BloodyBlade. Look at that fuckin sig
well, jimmy, she can basically shoot assassin skills at you
of course they are SP based success rates instead of 100%
In addition, she can also shoot a gravity spell at you lol
I listed her skills here a few posts up, but i forgot to include that she also has Medicine Shot, which will esuna + small healing
I see, shoot assassin...That's dangerous. Haha, but luckily its not 100% though. If it is, then we're dead because the melee assassin of Lede and Celia are deadly; and now, they are RANGE!!! I still remember last time I played at the mission of saving Rafa, I lose countless times because the sins are too disturbing to my party, while Rafa is too stupid to attack head-on =.= Lol
Wow...Haha. Gravity...nice. Medicine Shot, good way for healing because RANGE!!
Nice one. Don't worry about it, Sir Zozma. I'll read up the posts about her jobs and skills. Thanks ^^
EDIT: Balk's daughter...Wow ^^
Haha. Asmo...
but the way im thinking of having it "end" is
the very last encounter you have with her will be a random rare encounter in DD... sort of a loose end if you will as she can reappear
She's wicked hot. Balk must be proud.
Yeah sprite looks great, but I can't tell if she is hot, I'm not 2D pixel-porn expert
. I like the idea of her being Mustadio rival.
Quote from: "Kagebunji"Yeah sprite looks great, but I can't tell if she is hot, I'm not 2D pixel-porn expert . I like the idea of her being Mustadio rival.
trust us shes hot
hehe, well the sprite is like 97% complete i just have to re-cut the updated water animations and its done but i cant submit it because i still have to wait 1 more day to get internet back up at home >:/ lol
ah well, shell be available for anyone soon
Ah...nice ^^
Wow...internet breakdown for quite awhile?
EDIT: I've read through all the posts and I have to say, I can't wait for this to release ^^
They're amazing! All the jobs, skills...they are making me anxious for this. Haha. And we get to use Balmafula ^^
However, I've got a question...
Quote from: "Zozma"Miluda
Job: Cross Knight
Skillset: Cross Sword
Venom Blade - Damage + 100% Poison
Moon Scraper - Damage + 100% Sleep
Delta Petra - Damage + 25% Petrify
Stasis Sword (Obtainable as blue magic only)
Night Sword (Obtainable as blue magic only)
Obtainable as blue magic...Meaning you have to be a bluemage to obtain this skill?
I think it means you need to be hit by it to get the skill to learn it, a la Ramza's Ultima skill or Zodiac/Zodiark.
Exactly.
I created duplicate versions of Stasis Sword and Night Sword that can be obtained late in the game (Deep Dungeon) by being hit with them
Basically you have to be lucky and get hit by one of those by certain generic dark and holy knights. its Chapter 4 stuff
Ah, I see. That's interesting way to learn skills. Nice one. I still remember getting the Zodiac...Die and die and DIEEEE =.=
Lol. Alright. Thanks. Ohya, about Ignis, you mentioned that the skills are going to cost mp instead of breaking katana/sword, so just wondering, will she have the casting animation holding the katana when use the skill, like generic samurai?
It will probably be raising her arms like the spell casting
that or a motion kind of like when the assassins cast shadow stitch
but yea you do not see any swords drawn out at all. its like casting a spell so ill probably stick with the raised arms motion (draw out is pretty much this motion but with a sword in the held up hands
Yea. But it looks cool, holding up a sword to cast a spell ^^
thats not just Ignis skillset, it also is shared with Elmdor as "Sword Spirit"
Something came to me when I was thinking what would be a great Draw Out animation, particularly for the characters Ignis and Elmdor. I was thinking "Muramasa," but was slightly inspired by the "Bizen Boat" screenshot with her kneeling down. Instead of using the usual "fireflies and ghouls" animation for that's characteristic of Muramasa, how about the floating-feather animation that's used after the Fairy summon? Except retouch the background to be in a darker red (hopefully keeping the feathers the same light pink), with an additional attack animation like the Ashura-slashing effect? It would be a suitable animation for a swordskill that can only be learned Blue-Mage style.
unfortunately we dont have the capability to change background color and the like. our ability to edit effect files is extremely limited...
Understood. I just read that there has been extensive progress of removing the Summon portrait in summon animations, and thought that the Fairy Summon would be ideal for the Muramasa Sword Spirit skill.
well certain summons look odd without it
things like Silf because the focus goes off center as if something is supposed to be there. Fairy is kind of like that unfortunately
btw, should the project finish, Tamara and Aeris will no longer be recruitable at any point.
there are 2 or 3 secret characters if certain conditions are met, however it does not include either of these units.
I'm glad to see you are workin on it again, I still have that .ppf you send me to test, hehe
Sweet, you're back?
im back, but working on battle setups only, setup the way they would be to match the story changes.
Do it Zozma, DO IT!!!!
i just want u to know tho,
i did my test run of my patch with celia and lede in my party from the beginning and it was still very hard without training.
imagine having to do it with only your normal characters available.. cause thats how it will be
Another thing to note:
The blue mage job AND the ability to recruit monsters is currently on hold as well
Also, the secret characters are:
Gafgarion - Choose not to save boco and gaffy will join you upon death at the gate of lionel (not implimented)
Monica - Choose to kill Miluda over recruiting her and Monica will join at Murond (not implimented)
Tamara - (IF i can get someone to make a more professional portrait for her as she is supposed to be cute not look like a drag queen lol) (Tamara has absolutely no story in my patch thusfar and might end up only as a random in DD)
-------
I am thinking of changing Mystic Knight, Alicia's Blue magic skill from "Omegaflare" (Flare2) to
"Nanoflare" as a sword strike skill instead and giving Omegaflare to one of the other jobs and it appears that Ovelia would be the best candidate actually but would then lose Ultima(2)... Thoughts?
----------
Aliste:
Aliste is a recruitable character you get at the place you normally get beowulf, however, Im trying to decide what kind of skillset to give him. Most likely the same set as Alicia (Destroy Sword) since he and beowulf were spellblades, but i havent decided yet... any ideas?
I've seen the sprite, he looks like beowulfs evil twin brother. Or is he another temple knight?
Yep thats who he is, however, the temple knight skills do NOT exist in my patch
Temple Knight skills are not bad but not too great as well.
they simply don't exist in my patch, therefore I might make him perhaps have the "Destroy Sword" set like Alicia has or one of the other sword skill types
Either "Destroy Sword" or "Fearblade" as they are spellblades. Though if Alicia is using "Destroy Sword", just wondering, any particular special character is using "Fearblade"?
Miang uses Fearblade and having 2 fearblades could make your team OP so im not to keen on doing that...
I see. Even if Miang is not using "Fearblade", I feel that "Destroy Sword" suits him better.
2 more characters (unimportant to the story) are being added as 2 of your starting "squires"
they will be your "blue mages" Wedge and Jessie and the only access to a full blue mage type class
I will consider them squires and will probably be mostly head/portrait swapped/palette changed male and female squires as they are part of your "cadet" team at the start.
They won't be much help at the beginning for certain, having only "Accumulate" available to learn
Sounds awesome, so they are temporary characters then right?
nope, they are with your initial team but just are nothing extraordinary as far as stats growth and they will only come with "Accumulate" learnable as well as the standard r/s/m. The rest of their skills are all blue magic learned mainly from monsters which all are non recruitable now. However, They will each learn a different set of "blue magic". Wedge will lean more towards the "holy" path, while Jessie will go more towards "darkness"
sounds freakin awesome

Love the sprites.
So will they always look like squires?
Nice to see the enemy skills in there.
They will always look like squires yes, This image is a model of Jessie, I am most likely going to use the red-hair UNLESS i get enough votes for the black haired one (which there are few of in the game)
Wedge, I think ill be using black elmdor hair for that and might just make use of that portrait i saw in FFTIA lol (for a squire haha)

lmao! well since you have the whole black hair planned out thing ill vote for black. now more ppl just need to know a poll is goin on.
haha, not really a poll but gotta strike a balance, or i would have had like 4 redheads lol (Lavian, Alicia, Ignis, +)
now i got Jessie, Wedge, and Olan who have black hair
also as you can see, each of them have different set of blue magic making them both unique. however, it's not decided yet if those are the specific once for that particular one. They really are supposed to be inconspicuously normal characters up until chapter 2. which is why they are dressed as squires.
Dude, the black haired one looks spectacular. Great stuff, Zozma.
now i just gotta come up with a portrait too lol
It seems odd but i really want to use that "young elmdor" portrait for the male squire since im using black elmdor hair lol. what a funny idea but still
Do you mind posting that portrait? I saw it over at the IA subforum, but I don't recall what it looks like anymore. Either way, I can't wait to see more of your sprites and ideas. Keep it up.
lol, alltho the collar wont match, it never matched the initial concept sprite anyway. this might seem odd attached to a squire but what the heck, i might attach it to a generic sprite that has a collar or alter the squire sprite in the first place with a jacket. then in the end ill probably make him the one that learns shadowflare
talk about a funny looking male squire!, theres plenty of room for improvement, the hair in the back makes it obvious the original hair had a cape, plus, i donno i need to do something more to it... perhaps the thief body or something else would work out better... but it needs to be the body of one of the generics to a degree. vanya's warrior template or perhaps the body i used for zodiac will do the trick.
If you can change the shirt color on the top sprite, it'll be good. That portrait's exquisite; I can see why you wanted to snatch it up. My only gripe here is that he's too cool looking to be a male Squire. Whatever though, it's no big deal.
well here's what ill probably do, is also give Jessie a custom (but already existing) body as well,
what color should i change his shirt or jacket to? btw, they are both actually blue mages so im gonna go with the custom looks over the squires. i just wish i could get a portrait of that quality to go with jessie lol. Basically, without adding any dialog really, Im going to make it so Vicks, Wedge, and Jessie are actually siblings, however Wedge and Jessie never made it up the ranks like Vicks did and therefore are also "cadets" like ramza and delita.
also, i think one thing annoys me about the zodiac body for this character, i think i want to change the arms as they look too big. suggestions?
For the shirt or jacket, I'd suggest using the Death Corps green, but that's cause I've always had a partiality to it. It might not look too great or work on this particular character. And yeah, this guy could use some different arms; right now he's got some big ol' meat-hooks. Whose arms are you gonna give him though?
i donno, if uhave a suggestion let me know, but perhaps hes wearing a jacket over light armor or something like that. if i keep the jacket then it can match the portrait. I'm not sure about Deathcorps green, (tho i like it too, there are already 3 special units that join with their main palette cosisting of green, (miluda, izlude and barret).
also suggestion for a new body for Jessie unless it really looks fine as a squire

For jessie, maybe monk with different arms?
maybe so. perhaps ill stick with a similar design for Wedge that the portrait was modeled for, having dycedargs robe, i just dont like the idea of it being black just like his hair, thats too much...
also i dont think wedge is a good name for that, i think ill swap Vick's and Wedge's names with eachother lol
alright, this keeps changing because its up in the air but, vicks wont be avsilable at the start like jessie. instead u get him later optionally... ill complete his sprite after lady frimelda...
Vicks? The teacher who blows you off in the beginning? Lol you can get him hahahaha
no, im just switching their names. also going to give him black hair as well
Is every recruit unique when it comes to jobs? (well if this question hasn't been asked already) that would be soo cool
Some characters have the same job Such as Frimelda and Zalbag both being holy/white knights but generally every special character is unique. there is an abundance of characters you get, however, and you will have to make a choice because you have access to more units than your party can hold
