Final Fantasy Hacktics

Holy crap, IRC!  I didn't know I was in a high school flashback

Ok thanks guys, I'll check FTTP out when I have some spare time and I'll come back to either: a) cry for help, or b) talk about my success story.

Yeah, I get I need to put in some effort, hehe.

Is there a lot coding to be done, or do programs have interfaces to make things easier?  (Not that I don't want to code, kinda always wanted to learn, I just want to know what I'm getting into)
Could I do everything in one program, or how many would I have to work with? Which one(s)? (many different ones in the Tools section)
Would I need to read up online, or are tutorials from here probably enough?

Hi,

I looked around the website and am kinda lost so that's why I turned to the forums!

I am not interested in doing anything hard or very time consuming, so could anyone tell me realistically how difficult these things would be?

All I want is to make a super mario RPG team.  Ideally, I would have:
-custom jobs, so I could have the appropriate skills for each character
-create new skills (different degrees of jump or of fire balls, etc)
-change skills' CTR
-set innate abilities and weapons they can use for jobs
-changed sprite colours (because I doubt I could make the characters...)

But yeah, if it is too demanding, I can also just use my imagination and play my ps1 version.

Thanks for any help!
