interesting ^

One part modern colombia/mexico counter-insurgency against the narcos, one part magnificent seven, one part seven samurai, one part pacific theatre WW2, one part wars in iraq/afghanistan/vietnam, 7 parts FFT.

*is glad the topic took off*

Maybe I'll actually get around to working on some of the stuff floating around in my head one day. But for now...

*goes back to reading the other ideas*

The exact opposite of Call of Power, which is based on low damage and hp, a patch based on lots of damage and high ass stats. Currently an idea in my head, want to do text edits to make the story comedic, which should fit the ridiculousness of the gameplay.

Sounds easy enough.  Just mimic DBZ at every opportunity.

I've begun to work on a patch that changes the jobs around in order to experiment with something new. Here's what I've got for my Ranger job.

I need some suggestions for action, reaction and movement abilities if anyone wants to help.

Look at FFTA/2 Archer/Hunter/Sniper they have lots of options to work with.

Anyone willing to make a patch focused on AI tournaments? Balance out abilities to make it competitive in a 4v4 environment.

Well, it sounded good in my head...

do you really want the sage's skillset to outclass every other one?

The ultimate goal is to make the sage kind of like the 1.3 summoner, only moreso. In that it has all high-cost, high effect (increased area or damage) spells spread between attack and support, with slow ct. The summon spells will be altered to hit all enemies/allies, and direct damage/healing summons will become persistant effects (they will no longer be unevadable, however). But, in the end, this is all for a personal lolpatch where I get to have epic magic duels.

I might end up having the base classes get all the spells that the sage gets, but making them all learn-on-hit only, so that the base magic classes can pick up some of the 'ultimate' spells, but only the sage can use them all at once.

FFT: True Story of the Zodiac Braves

This is the tale of the great battle fought between the Demon Lord of Mullonde and the original Zodiak Braves.

It is to be a complete departure from Tactics: There are different weapons, completely changed classes, different story set in Ivalice's past of warring states. Maybe, if it is possible, even a reworked map. This is beyond the scope of what I myself can do; Therefore i am gladly accepting aid from anyone. those who help will be named in game- no thefts of ideas or work here. so far, I am aprox. 10-20 % complete with classes. would include excell spreadsheet, but not supported. once it is finished, ill release a completed class patch.

As Mullonde was partially destroyed by the death of St. Ajora, I had to slighly alter the map... which leads to a new problom. How can I add new map locations and routes?

That is rather complex and is still being researched.

Thank you for your info.

also, is there a way to remove male-only and female-only requirements from the bard/dancer, so that i can have an even 20 classes?

OK. This is the classes that will be used, partially. will update when complete, but enjoy.

Unfortunately there isn't... but if you make all ccharacter's Male and Female they can become Bard and Dancer, of course they'd all screm like men...

Some of the story of TZB:

1st Chapter: Main character is the nephew and confidant of the king of murond, also a leader in the military. eventually, your uncle becomes erratic and paranoid of a supposed invasion from the more powerful nation of gallione, and dabbles into forbidden magic to find a way to protect his people. he thinks he summons an angel from the fara religion, but it is actually a lucavi demon, who slays the king and steals his form. you find this out and try to fight him. you are defeated, but you manage to find out his weakness to the zodiac stones. you steal gemeni (or another) which is the national treasure. you give it to your closest friend, who enherits the info of the demon, and you die from wounds.
