Intro[/u]
FFT:CE is a project that will inject more nostalgia into the original. Jobs, monsters, technicks, magicks, and graphics will be remade in the images of the previous games in the Final Fantasy series.
I'll be posting general information about the project in this thread fro now on. Also, any utilities, resources, etc. that I find useful will be posted here as well.
Jobs[/u]
Looks pretty cool Vanya. I think the Guard! skill Lasting Dawn showed off in his last video would be great for the warrior. I am of course willing to help you out with some graphical stuff.
Thanks! I apprciate the offer. I'd probably need help with portraits mostly. I let you know. As for 'Guard!' I was actually thinking of giving it to the Knights, or Ramza. I'll post info on my warrior soon. I'll be needing some critique.
I am strangly aroused at the prospect of a FF1 style fighter and red mage.

O_o Looks real good. I kept trying to add Red Mage to my game but it just didn't fit the theme. You have my support.
Thanks! =) I appreciate it!
So TimeMage became Astralist but what job did you exchange for Sniper and Enchanter?
What does Enchanter exactly do?
Enchanter = Oracle/Mystic
-This one is really just a name change. I am going to exchange the spell
-animation for Beowulf's set and He will be changed into a Mystic Knight.
-Enchantment spells are traditionally the equivalent of support spells in FF.
Sniper = Mediator/Orator
-Completely revamped skill set and sprite. Actually I'm not too sure this will
-be the final job for this slot. I may do something different.
Actually, If I really wanted to make the jobs 'classic' i should really name them like this:
Astralist = Time Mage
Enchanter = Green Mage
the thing is I wanted to cut back on 'Mage' names.
Ramza's jobs
Squire (ch.1):Warrior. Will be the same as my generic Warrior.
Squire (ch.2&3):Mercenary. Looses Swift Strike & Heavy Strike. Gains Wild Swing & Death Blow in their place. Wild swing is basically the same as the Hydras' Triple Attack. Death Blow will kill target's that are already critically wounded with a low chance to succeed. I'm still working on it, though.
Squire (ch.4):Riskbreaker. Looses Wild Swing, Death Blow, & Throw Stone. Gains Raging Ache, Crimson Pain, & Mistral Edge in their place. Also, He'll get Herakles, Enlighten, Invigorate, & Riskbreak. All these abilities are taken from Vagrant Story.
Comments?
I have a comment.
Vagrant Story fucking rules and any ideas you take from it I will auto-approve because VG fucking rules.
/end comment
I love Vagrant Story and I wish for a sequel, also kind of wish he was added as a secret character since he is related to Ivalice but whatever.
The abilities so far for Ramza look good but I kind of like the idea of Wild Swing doing heavy damage for lower accuracy. I'm also interested in what effects you have in store for the "Vagrant Story" abilities.
Here are some details for my Medic job:
The male sprite will get a minor edit. I want to use the old squire's head, because I think it matches the female sprite's style better.

Updated some info on Warrior & Medic.
Jobs updated:
~Sniper removed, and replaced with Hunter.
~Also, added info on my plans for *fixing* the Mime.
Warrior skills updated:
~Swift Strike now does normal weapon damage, but now costs 450 JP.
~Heavy Strike now does slightly increased damage than a normal attack, but JP cost boosted up to 950.
~Provoke dropped to a cost of 400 JP.
Mimes are awesome, you just don't know what you're talking about.
I have 1 video on youtube that shows mimes at their finest, but unfortunately it's really crap quality. Someone who's better at recording than me can perhaps make a new one.
Well, it isn't that I think they're not useful. I think they're just not fun. I'd rather have another new job then have one of them. If I can remove the restrictions on them I'll either add in a Necromancer or an Alchemist in it's place. But anyway, on with the update:
Knight
I'm debating weather I should let them keep the stat breaking skills or give them to my new hunter job.

~Knife, Sword, Knight Sword, Axe, Flail, & Polearm.

loving guard crush and delay attack
would Spell Interrupt be a better name for Delay Attack?
it kinda cancels the spell entirely lol
You can interrupt any skill that puts the user into charging status; magical or physical. If I had Dancers & Bards it would cancel performing, too. But since I'm not using them there's no point.
I don't know what is going on really. But why not call it "Distract", or just "Interupt", or combine them and have "Disrupt".
very cool sounding skills either way.
you could call it "Nullify" or something
I chose that name because it's the closest thing to the skill from FFX. I wanted to just use the CT00 formula, but I don't want the hit rate to be based on faith.
OK I'm planning a revision to the new Knight job. As I was studying knights in other FF games I quickly realized that equipment breaking is unique to FFT. Most of the other games use only stat breaking skills. Even FFTA did it like that. FFTA2 has the equipment break skills, but spread over several different jobs. So I decided I would remove all of the Knight's equipment breaking skills. Now he'll have the 4 new skills I created plus the 4 stat break skills. Additionally, I'm revising Magic Break to do MP damage based on the Knight's MA+10 and to hit based on faith+50. It will now compliment the Power Slash skill, and both will require a sword..
As for the now unused equip break skills, I decided that I would give them to Meliadoul with a boost in hit rate. Also, to complete her set of *break* skills, I modified Icewolf Bite to function just like the other equip breaks. All 5 skills will now use the knife hand effect. It makes a really nice break sound that fits great. Her remaining skills will be modified into new sword skills for pure HP damaging goodness. I may be inclined to modify them into Dark Knight skills since they all have pretty dark effects.
What do you guys think? Also, about Delay Attack, since I want to keep that name do you guys think I should go ahead and make it use the CT00 formula?
Well it can't do damage but it lives up to it's name of delaying an attack though.
If I could just find the formula on the ISO it would be very easy to nullify the faith part of it and change the MA part to PA. I think that I'll do that. Any thoughts about the changes to the Knights?
I think equipment breakage is the main thing overshadowing Thieves. if I ever make my own patch, I'd cut them out too.
Maybe give them to a special character and make them 1range only. So I have to say I approve. Haven't gotten around to looking at thier new skills yet thugh.
Updated first 2 posts with new job tree & Warrior job data in the form of text files. feedback is greatly appreciated! =)
Edit: Update Job tree again. also, added JP required for job levels to it.
