I was joking. Hand me stuff to do and I'll be happy to help. Preferably with some idea of what you are looking for though. Me just randomly describing crap is bound to include something you don't like.

Basing yourselves on this topic, and using the actual CoP tactext (COP1.rar), it's mostly all the tools you need.
I think the conversation should be brought in that topic.

I had a major setback due to internet trouble. Let me catch up on some college work and then I'll look into continuing what I said I'd help with.
Also, any sort of flavor you want the descriptions to have? Disgaea style humor, practical, historical, anything in particular you are looking for?

That's okay, Silvas.
I would go for pratical/usefull- you can sometimes go for something funny (as CoP does sometime does FFT inside-jokes) and of course, historical if you feel like it.
Ex: Shinai : A sword used mostly by squires to learn the ways of battle. Has a firm grip but lacks cutting.
And oh damn it, Il upload what classes can equip what Tomorrow.

So far, what is left ;
1) Textwork ; Item description, some skills need to be have new definitions and renaming jobs. Item descriptions IS the most important for me, but I am awfull at it. We really need help there since mav is overflowed with work. I also always forget to post what can be weared by who... IRC peeps, remind me that.
2) Balance. Thanks to FFM's run of CoP, I have now seen most of the problems, and thanks to Ganesha, I can fix most of them. This includes abilities, difficulty, and preventing abuse. That is my job, and that's the thing I am mostly working on right now.
3) Spritework! I need to get the formation screen and portraits right, also change some sprites around. (Yes, CoP has not all the sprites it needs and will not upon releash). I also need to fix some Type1|Type2 issues. This is also my job, minus Jimmy and Mav doing the Gospel sprite.
4) Random things. I mostly did what I had to do ; this was changing ''Save algus'' to ''Save Arale'', changing ''Slums of Zarghidas'' to ''Slums of Meirel'', and a lot of other imagework (Chapter 1, background images, text fix, random event pokes) I seriously think I have nothing of this to do.
5) UNLEASHING THE BEAST! I plan to do it on the 1rst of march, due to quotes and text issues. So If anyone shall help, please give in before that, please!

Silvas, PM me a messenger name (aim, msn, etc) if you have any, if you're doing descriptions.
EDIT: Anyone else doing/that-will-do descriptions also PM me messengers!
I'm currently finishing up descriptions for accessories.
Koko, another thing in the video. At about 1:08 it says "A uncommon child" This should be An rather than A
It's An if the next word starts with a vowel and A if the next word starts with a consonant.

Silvas, make an AIM account and use the aim express. You don't have to download anything, it opens in your browser.
The title screen concept is very nice, Mike!
And Kourama, you should do the same as I suggested to Silvas, if you don't have an AIM!
It'd kinda be strange to see the item's descriptions in lots of different styles, that's what I wanted to communicate about.

Let me know what you need next, Koko. I'm sure they're telling you what they're working on, at least.
Edit: I'll take on Robes next, and if I don't have too much trouble with those I'll do Cloths afterwards.
Class now, but after my classes today I won't have school until friday, so I may have a bit more free time than usual.

Ah, yes, thanks. I just did (years later...)
So, yeah, still waiting on these things. Meanwhile I took in my time to upgrade more things (Locations names, some sprites Types, some random map editing for the hell of it, and ETERNAL MADE SOME AWESOME QUOTES FOR THE SKILLS)
What I really would need help with is the item descriptions, still if anyone can help, I would appreciate. Otherwise I will just plainly make them as fast as I can this weekend, because I really want to releash.
Thank you for all your support ^^
