I wanna be a stupid sorceror
"Hi guys...who will be the dumbass of today?" xD

do you still wanna die?

EDIT:
ohhhhhhh!
i get what you mean!
you wanna be a boss

i have that noted

Maybe someone like meliadoul: Enemy at the beginning, optional recruit later xD

[SilvasRuin]

Either Smash for being way too awesome or Voldemort for just being Voldemort.  ...or Zodiac.  Zodiac would be better as some sort of behind the scenes puppet master character though.  Voldemort could play any badass role, probably, even an enemy boss.  Or even final boss.

[Oblivion]

smash
Voldemort
zodiac

any other suggestions for the main character?

[dwib]

Voldemort no doubt

[Oblivion]

smash
Voldemort (x2)
zodiac

two votes for arch.

[Redux]

Voldemort as either main villian or protagonist.
And damn that would mean im izlude in this game =)

Ok so I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to step out. The basic purpose is to re-mesh all the classes into 12 tribute classes to the Original Final Fantasy.

The plan atm is to:
Rename all classes....Done
Rename Skills...........Want to ask a question first.
Tweak Old Skills........50%
Create New Skills......30%
Sprite Replacement...Can wait for now.
Fix ENTD...................hehehe -_-'

The classes are:
Fighter
Black Mage
White Mage
Theif
Black Belt (May go back to Monk for this one.)
Red Mage
Knight
Wizard (Black Wizard)
Priest (White Wizard)
Ninja (May switch to Rogue)
Master
Sorcerer (Red Wizard)

Anyways my pre-release question is, in the theme of an 8-bit tribute, should I rename all the spells according to the old 4 letter limitation or would that be too annoying to read?

[philsov]

As far as namings go, ALLCAPS4CHARACTER is annoying.  You can get 5 or 6 character names and still retain the pronunciation.  

AFIR -> A-Fire
FIR3 -> Fire 3
LIF2 -> Life 2

Just don't go fancy.  Nuke should still be nuke, not flare.

Regarding the ENTD, are you planning more monster-based storyline and random battles in the vein of FF1?

Will Queklain / Velius / Zelera / Andramelk have actions similar to Lich / Kary / Kraken / Tiamat?  Can enemy Gaf be the dark elf?  Hash warmech?  Or, dare I suggest, Algus something garland-like?  I admit there's a few holes with this scheme (like what to do with Shrine Knights and Elmdor, probably better to keep the FFT universe with 8 bit heros.  dunno).

Are you planning any action abilities for Fi/Th/BB/Ma?  Will there be any R/S/M at all?

[Sa Ki Ren]

Lets see.
Thanks for the response to the naming issue. I believe I'll go full names in menu and short names in battle.

As for the random battle question. I would most likely set up some areas to have mostly Human or Monster encounters depending on the location.

The Lich/Kary/Kraken/Tiamat tie in I hadn't thought of yet though seeing as how I'm re-assigning ALL the abilities from the ground up, the issue would eventually arise. Given the play out of the story, wouldn't Alma be Garland though? Rofl.
 
Yes for R/S/M and as for action commands Theif is pretty much set. I may make a Snatch ability that randomly steals a piece of equipment. And as for Fi/BB, their skill sets are whats giving me the most trouble atm. I already have the skill sets for the magic classes done.

Maybe once I finish this I will attempt a more daring translation and maybe even just remake the game.

Also due to size constraints of the skill sets I combo/knocked some of the spells from FF

And one more foot note. There are couple tributes to 8-bit theater as well.

[Oblivion]

oh who else wants to be apart of this lets start a list.
the more the merrier

[Asmo X]

It's a pretty shitty idea dude. Play FFT, but with a bunch of no-names from the internet mary-sueing themselves into the game. WOOOO. I can't contain my excitement!

I suppose Asmo doesn't want to be in the patch xD

i had feeling someone would disagree...

suppose so.
i was hoping he would want to be in. he'd make a great superboss!

My hopes are on a comedic satire.  

As long as it is one, I would like to be a part.  The moment it is serious, I'd want out.  The gameplay can be serious.  The story should be ridiculous.

And one more foot note. There are couple tributes to 8-bit theater as well.

Make Red Wizard's most powerful spell Ice 9.  Only make up to [Element] 3 or 4 for everything with Ice 9 being the only exception.  I at least would find it amusing.

[DarthPaul]

Asmo the way I see it this is not really a patch to advertise but more along the lines of a hacktics lolpatch.

Just something for us to enjoy for laughs and what not.

[Dome]

Yeah, we could just replace most of the special character with someone of us xD
And change some dialogue-skillset

[PX_Timefordeath]

Same as Silvas. As long as the story and dialogue is lol, I'm in!

We each replace a special character, come up with some dialogue for us, and make our own skillsets!

[MagiTek]

My vote is Zodiac, he IS admin after all.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

A patch set in an Ivalice/Tactics Ogre -ish world.  About a poor, isolated government's fight against the fantasy equivalent of narcos.  

The gov't creates special squad-sized units made up of local militiamen, mercenaries, and veteran soldiers.  

Their goal is to gather information on the narcos, monitor their crops (or whatever their drugs are... they could be dilithium crystals for all I know so far), provide security for the locals and for the urbanites who are building infrastructure and providing services to the poor locals (part of an effort to isolate the narcos socially and politically), and provide limited medical and transportation services to out of reach areas.

These squads must sometimes deal with corruption, hate from the locals (often justified.  What would you do if a bunch of strangers stopped and searched every vehicle on the road for no reason apparent to you?), poverty, ignorance, fear, and assholes in the squads.


EDITED
Now that I think about it, I forgot to include foreign states sponsoring either the narcos or the governments fight against them.  The narcos could use the foreign gov'ts funding as an excuse for their actions, and declare themselves "patriots" fighting the imperialist pigs/dogs/americans.  And the Narcos could also be recieving aid, and not to mention money from paying customers, from the america-clone.  And I could have the typical moronic american responses to the drug trade.  Actions like crop destruction/guided missiles/naval bombardment, that treat the symptom, the drug trade, but not the disease, poverty.
