Final Fantasy Hacktics

Open War V.1  Beta

The original idea I had was to make the battles more epic by making battles longer and including tough leaders in combat giving a 1.3 feel with matched leveling, and it also kind of took on the feel of Lydyns concept of Zodiac Crisis, a patch that made everything super crazy, so in a Insane sense it's kind of  1.3's Midlife Crisis

New leaders in every story battle

Cuar: high range move, high speed, low hp, high PA, speed save

Chocobo: high hp, larger aoe choco cure, and distribute

Behemoth: high hp, pa ,ma, giga-flare, short charg, modified meteor rain so the it acts like a random multi hit(up to 50 times) high powered spell with a really long animation as monster skill

Quote from: "akwikone"all helmets will have innate darkness

all swordskills will have 1 range(stasis sword keeps aoe, and lightning stab has spin fist targeting)

Interesting.  I'll be willing to test when you start coming up with stuff.

updated

Hey be glad to play your patch if you tell me how to actually patch it.  Yes i'm a newbie so dunno how to do all this stuff yet. LoL

only one issue here, Ashley Riot is not an FF character, Vagrant story is close, but I've never heard of "Final Fantasy: Vagrant Story" so I don't know why everyone keeps making the comparison, I didn't even find the two games all that similar...

Quote from: "Zuka"only one issue here, Ashley Riot is not an FF character, Vagrant story is close, but I've never heard of "Final Fantasy: Vagrant Story" so I don't know why everyone keeps making the comparison, I didn't even find the two games all that similar...

They both apparently take place in the same "universe," if you will.  I haven't played it myself, but I seem to recall there being some cultural and geographic references that connect the Ivalice of FFT and FF12 to that of Vagrant Story.

The game is also supposedly rife with item references to FFT specifically, since the two games were made by pretty much the same team of guys.

It's one of those fan discovered connections that exist between games, and I believe it has an unofficial place in the whole overarching Ivalician timeline, so it's really not that far out in left field.

Well... the church of Glabados is mentioned and one of the main characters (If I recall...) is a member of such.

doesn't matter, I used Basch, another update soon, chapters 1 and 2 done in the ENTD files, still writting down class and ability changes

done except for the deep dungoen, is officily a beta, just need to do some file exchanging so I can post it, also I understand if the thread gets closed because of "lolpatch"/new rules so no need to explain why it got closed

Nah, I'm not going to touch this thread. Keep it up and good luck.

here is why this is a good topic


Attachment: open war patch.fftpatch

thanks  :D

Wow. An actual project posted in New Projects.

Quotemodified meteor rain so the it acts like a random multi hit(up to 50 times)

Dude, no.

Quotemodified meteor rain so the it acts like a random multi hit(up to 50 times)

lol

I'm planning to make behemoths non-invitable, it's also removed it from Cloud, though I should probably tone down considering I gave a few monsters monster skill innate


Edit: also Asmo, weren't you the one to make the suggestion to Lydyn to  give chocobows meteor and non-charge?

Yes I was. And that spell would have taken less than 10 minutes to finish

also, the more your patch thread has the word 1.3 in it the less successful it will be

people don't want more 1.3

they want to see new things

I retract my previous statement

THIS FAILS

Quote from: "Asmo X"Yes I was. And that spell would have taken less than 10 minutes to finish

this has inspired me, I will change behemoth, instead it'll be a boss skill(I think Hash already has it), there will also be fight a DD END fight of eleven beings with 1 hp, 20 speed, non-charge, and this spell, a three hour test of patience

Challenge is better than tedium.

yeah I know, but it's only one super fucking long boring battle, besides I think I set it to random hits


Edit: and yes Arch I know that mentioning 1.3 won't help, but it's kinda sorta simaler, and I think that sadly most patches(including mine) that don't change the story, or have complete class changes seem like a cheap knock off of 1.3...
