Ah. XD My friend came thursday today. Sorry to knock everyone off the normal schedule. o-o So this week I'm on friday. XD

It's all good. :) Did you have fun?

Yeah pretty much. XD He played on the ps2 'Romancing Saga' cuz he really likes it. XD
I borrowed his laptop again to work on the game I'm making on rpg maker on it. O:
It's a hella lot more fun when you put 'classes' in a game. like 'white mage, black mage, etc'
i got this awesome idea to make 'tomes' that , where if you put a 'white tome' on a knight, he can use white magic as well as his knight skills. ;3 so combining class skills. :3

That sounds really nifty, and like it'd be a lot of fun when it's all done. :)

It will be 8'D So excited. I only have like 5-6 classes done so far...
Basic, White/black/time/red mage, knight, ninja, berserker, alchemist, magic knight, hunter, archer, bard/dancer, dragoon, and samurai. :3
also, mayybe a mascot, borrowed from FFX-2, but still unsure...probably not though.

I think I might have overpowered the time mage, though. there's no time gauge, you just take turns, so for 'haste', i made it give the affected ally an aditional turn one time. thenn, I gave him 2 spells at the end. Hastega (gives everyone an extra turn) and overdrive (gives time mage 5 turns in a row) and both cost heavily in mp, however, if you wear accessories that half mp cost, or even lower it to 0, ... those will be WAY overpowered. XD So I think I'll just reward those to people who beat the final, hardest secret boss,that way they have 2 spells to play around with owo

My brain just went *poof/feathers/es'plode* That sounds awesome! *nod nod*

Lmao. XD sorry. I got geek-y there. :B

What's the difference between Hunter and Archer? Also you should go for a rogue/assassin and paladin :P

Hunter - can use special skills that do extra damage to specific species.
might also have some nature things going on, not sure
Archer - has various bow skills, hit/crit up skills, and situational skills. (deals higher damage to monsters with high def, etc)

I would do a rogue/assassin, but what would be the difference between them and a ninja? If it's different enough, I'll add them. XD

Also, paladins are awesome, but with a knight/dragoon/magic knight, all capable of wearing a 'white tome' for white magic/healing, I'm not seeing a point in that? unless I'm missing something. XD

Also, i might just replace ninja with assassin... maybe.
can't really think of ninja skills. ;-;

If you have any other ideas, though, I'm open. :3

Ninja in Final Fantasy lore had the ability to throw things, like pop culture's ninja shurikens.

Rogue in Ragnarok Online meant you could use any first-job weapons and first-job skill, so a lot of people went with bow and swapped out quickly for dagger if the situation arose. Or you could go with Claws.

Assassins tend to be more cloaking/poison based.

yeah but that's pretty much it, and in this rpg maker you cant have skills use up items. DX niether can you have certain items available to certain classes to use in battle. /ithink
so can't really think up anything. XD

first-job weapons and skill? meaning one job or the first jobs?
cuz if it's just one job, whats the difference between the first job and a rogue XD?

Yeah.. that would be interesting I guess, though dunno if I'd be able to churn out 10 types of skills or so based on cloaking or poison o.o'
/thinks on it

Like, Newbie --> Thief --> Assassin, and Newbie --> Monk --> Champion, Rogue would get the skills from Thief and Monk.

EDIT: I could help with that.

Ohhh ... well I don't know how well that would work out... my 3 'starter' classes are archer/whitemage/black mage. XD

Really? 8'D That would be awesome haha.
don't forget I can make varying degrees of poison, too. x3 if that helps. XD
though not sure how poisoning someone 5 different ways would go over. XD

Hrk. That there's no fighter started bugs me XD

So like, for assassin, you could do a basic atk, a poison DOT skill, and backstab skill (x3 dmg) that takes two turns to activate, a cloaking skill that has some chance to evade incoming attacks, a Bind attack, etc.

Archer is sort of a fighter? XD
hm. OH well technically theres the 'basic' class to begin with, which has skills similar to FFT's basic job. with a few new ones thrown in~

poison DOT skill meaning a special poison, or just the regular poison ailment?
and do you think 10% dmg per turn for poison is too harsh? XD

also, since I'm replacing ninja with assassin, would it be weird to have an assassin hit twice?

The regular poison ailment. That's a lot for an RPG. Poison DOT should be more like 5%, but you should also factor in whether you have antidotes and whatever.

By fighter, I mean swordie. Warrior. Knight. In most games that have three main classes, they're warrior, mage, and archer.

so technically yeah, basics use swords with physical skills. xD then theres archer and two types of magic, healing and attack.
that should do. owo

factor in whether I have antidotes? (which I do) what would that have to do with how much poison hits? /somewhat confused

If antidotes are really hard to come across or super expensive, then giving Poison a high dmg rate isn't exactly fair. On the other hand, if antidotes are easy to acquire, then the player should reasonably have a few on hand at all times and be able to cure the Poisoned character pretty fast.

okay so 10% should be good, since they'll be available in stores and some in chests around where poisonous monsters lurk. :B yesyes?

now the question of that, plus regen heals 5% per turn. I don't wanna make it too easy/unbalanced. DX
seriously, having a spell like 'protect' that halves all damage is... really hard to balance... so i made it 25% instead...

You have a regen o.o; That's a new one.

New one? o.0
How.. is that new?

I'm not used to having a regen besides in MMOs.

I think it's in like every FF. o-o'
Though it's sorta useless in FFX and FFX-2 /:
I like a good regen though. x: Not sure if it should be 5% or 10% though.
Eh. XD

Any other class ideas or extra tidbits you wanna add? x3

Okay, so, so far, I have this for an assassin;
Poison attack
Backstab (x3 dmg, 1 turn to execute)
Eva up self
Paralyze attack

Lets see...
Do they do smoke bombs? (% to blind all enemies or 2-3 random enemies)
Hm. o_o; /thinking of more

Smoke bombs would be more of a ninja thing.

I only remember FFIII and FFIV; there was no regen in those games.

Hm...could probably have a skill in which the Assassin enchants all the party's equips w poison; each hit has x% chance to poison.

Yeah I guess it would. x.x hm.

ah. x.x' There's no regen in FFiii? o-o i coulda swore there was...

ohh that's an idea o.o' that brings up more possibilities too. XD

Hey there peeps, how goes it? I got very busy with work this week and had so much to do yesterday that I did not get by here.

*glomps* HAI UMA! XD How're you doing today?

Umaeril!!! *Glomps*

How's everyone doing?

Kilala!!! Laws!!! *hops all around with excitement*

I am fine, I am working right now. Sucks but at least I can be on the computer for a bit. I love both of your avatars!!! Kilala you look very elegant and Law you are so striking!

O.o you look like something out of Kingdom Hearts, Uma!!! Pirate is the first thing that comes to mind. :) And Thank you! I figured I'd give Cholmus a try. I'm really liking it. I wish I had a couple more that I could use. XD Looks like I need to try and find a seller. >w<

Thanks, yes I was just doing some red and black, it will change soon. I adore Cholmus. I have 2 of them, you can use one if you want to. I suggest that rather than trying to buy one of them.

That would be awesome! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92...Doods/M012.gif

Very good, I shall send it your way, COD. Simply return when you tire of it. Actually I don't use the 2nd one much so feel free to keep for a while.

Sounds good. :) And thank you so much!

You are welcome, oh and btw, what is the item you are holding, that is very pretty. Are you going to try the Onyx Egg?

Thank you for your complement, Umaeril.
Kilala...that image...

@Uma: I'm holding Bladed Bat Anchor (it comes in a yellow, light blue, and light purple). I spent all my aurum on 6 Eggs. Got 3 of the Super Shocker, 2 Sunny Petals, and 1 Crither. I've sold off the Sunny Petals and the Crither. I'm hoping that I'll be able to squirrel away enough to get the Fortress of Solitude looking one (Law's using it as their icy background).

@Law: I love those little guys! I've got an entire folder full of 'em on photobucket. <3
