Final Fantasy Hacktics

I'm currently working on a gameplay patch with new jobs and such, and for the most part I'm done. The only thing that remains is creating a few new enemy-only jobs and the oh-so-dreaded Random Battle ENTD's.

Since I'm hoping to release this patch here to FFH, I would like to hear some of the community's ideas about what random battles you think would be interesting to run into. Random battles are a part of life, so they may as well be fun! Mind, I wouldn't insert new sprites and such for these random battles, but a lot can be done with what's already inside the game. So feel free to post your ideas here!

Also, if this is supposed to be in New Projects or something, I apologize, feel free to move it.

Thanks!

1. Knights/Lancers on Chocobos/Dragons (there's an ASM hack for this)
2. If you kept the original calculator class (or made a copy of it), a squad of enemy calculators (may be too hard).  Original TK or HS would work too, though you might not have enough space to make skills.
3. Copies of your squad, without rare gear (copy the unit ID of all your teammates, but fix the enemy equipment so this doesn't become the equivalent of item duplication)
4. "Human" units with above 999 HP and MP (monsters with human sprites and maybe even human jobs, probably more balanced if you balanced monster MA and PA to scale closer to those of humans, but more fun if you didn't)

I really like ideas 1 and 3.

Regarding Idea #1, I've always thought a battle against Chocobo Knights would be epic, but I haven't really been able to figure out just how it could be done. It's kind of funny, since you see Chocobo Knights in the opening FMV, but they never appear elsewhere.

Regarding Idea #3, I think that's an amazing idea for DD. Revenant Wings' Midlight's Deep had a floor where you fought your party, and I thought it was awesome. Only problem is, I don't know how to find the player's party's unit IDs (I'm totally new to this, so if it's something incredibly obvious, feel free to let me know) but if I do find out how, this battle will definitely make an appearance in DD.

Fire Teams (Bomb Family, Minotaurs, Flame Shield, Fire Wizards) , Ice Teams (Bone Snatches, Ice Shield, Magic Ring) , Dark teams (Skeletons, Undead Human classes, Demi/Lich/Gravi 2) , Holy Teams (Priests, Holy Lance, Chameleon Robe, etc.).

Human Monsters (Squire Sprites with Monster skillset primary and random secondary skillset).

7x Jumping Priests (Jump (Izlude's) Secondary, Forced Holy Lance/Javelin II, Speed Save, Maintenance (those with Holy Lance have equip armor), Move+3). 1x Jumping Knight Blade (just copy and paste Izlude, except include a Male priest sprite).

Uber Wildbow (custom skillset which rapes people hard and ??? stats).

Workers.

A few Miluda's with bomb skillset (lol).

It would be interesting to see elementally-based teams, simply to see if they're smart and support each other.

Human Monsters... eh. Kind of reminds me of what Mercs was going to do with monsters.

7x Jumping Priests... they'd all have to be named Rivaldi. =P

Colliery 3 combines both the Workers and the Wild Bow idea. So I daresay you'll enjoy that battle.

I think you should add some really hard rare battles, like vanilla's 11 monk battle (only harder), maybe have some NPCs or something. maybe some math skill using mages or some special jobs like all-swordsman.

Oh, you can be rest assured the 11 Monk Battle is staying, but being tweaked. How could I possibly remove such an epic battle?

All-Swordsmen appear in DD. And I'm considering using a Math Skiller somewhere as well.

those were just examples, if I took the time to think about it I could come up with better ones, maybe make some new classes and everything.
