This is how I think Ramza would be or should be at the end of the game or after the game, but here it is...

Ramza- Black Knight

Weapons- Swords, Knight Swords, and Sheilds.
Head Gear- Helmets
Body Armor- Robes and Armor

Dark Sword- Night Sword, Dark Sword, Wish, Ultima
Black Magic
Auto-Potion
Magic Attack Up
Move HP-Up

What do you guys think? A perfect rival to Delita, I think.

"Thought I was dead, eh? Not until I fulfill my dream!"
Seifer Almasy


"The most important part of the story is the ending."
Secret Window


"Peace is but a shadow of death."
Kuja

I'm not a big fan of Magic by any means, but I dig the setup. I think of Ramza as more of a champion of Light, though, so I always wanted to see him get the job of Heavenly Knight like his father.

I think it says alot for the greatness of the game, though, that his best class is still just the lonely Squire. He's a common man. Ramza can be brave, but he can be a coward at times. He can fail, just like any of us. I think it keeps him real and human in the game, keeping him from some super-class like Orlandu. He has to fight for everything he has... nothing is given to him. I like that tremendously. No game I've ever seen has presented a lead character in such a way as Tactics.

Plague Bringers are permanently inflicted with the Zombie and Innocent status. They can equip no weapons or armor or accessories. They are immune to Poison, Invite or Charm, Confusion, Death Sentence, and Dead. On the battlefield, any character who ends their turn 3 panels or closer suffers a -5 Brave penalty. The Plague Bringer's appearance is akin to what you saw in the first Resident Evil movie. Torn clothes, gaping wounds all over the body... perhaps a hanging eye from one socket. Oh, yeah, and the arms are constantly held straight out in front of them, with hands constantly opening and closing.

The Plague Bringer is not a class you attain, but a special character that joins you on Poeskas Lake on the way to Riovanes Castle.

MP: 15, must have Holy Water in inventory
Similar to the Moogle summon, a rain of light from Heaven descends on the hunter and a 5 panel range around him. All allies have Cure2 cast on them, while all enemy units have Fire2 cast on them. Both spells are non-reflectable, and damage any undead units for double damage.

Curse
JP: 350
Range: 5
MP: 10, must have Holy Water in inventory
Inflicts Death Sentence on target.

Heart Pierce
JP: 600
Range: Weapon dependant
Hunter attacks the targets heart. Double damage, with 10% chance of instant death.

Holy Aura
JP: 400
Range: 3
MP: 30, must have Holy Water in inventory

Traits
-------

The Vampire Hunter can equip crossbows, guns, knives, and swords. He can wear hats or caps, and can equip clothes and robes. On the battlefield, I see him looking like Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing if male, or Kate Beckinsdale in Underworld if female. To get this class, you must be Lvl. 8 Priest, Lvl. 8 Archer, Lvl. 8 Monk, and have NO black magic abilities learned.



As an aside, I almost added an ability called "The Holy Handgrenade"....... for all those who love Monte Python, y'all know what I'm talking about.

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Quote (Hamedo @ 28th June 2004 07:31)

I'm not a big fan of Magic by any means, but I dig the setup. I think of Ramza as more of a champion of Light, though, so I always wanted to see him get the job of Heavenly Knight like his father.

I think it says alot for the greatness of the game, though, that his best class is still just the lonely Squire. He's a common man. Ramza can be brave, but he can be a coward at times. He can fail, just like any of us. I think it keeps him real and human in the game, keeping him from some super-class like Orlandu. He has to fight for everything he has... nothing is given to him. I like that tremendously. No game I've ever seen has presented a lead character in such a way as Tactics.

Ramza still has the best abilities. I mean just take a look at scream. And Ramza being scared? Where did you get that? Vormav kidnaps his sister so he follows him to a place he can't return from (supposedly) just so he can beat the hell out of Vormav.

When Zalmo says he's a heretic, what does Ramza do? He beats him up. When Wiegraf becomes Velius, does Ramza run and hide? No, he beats him up. And he does all of this because he can. Also note that there is no flee option in Final Fantasy Tactics because running is for wimps and Ramza is not a wimp.

--------------------

Now the story's played out like this. Just like a paperback novel. Let's rewrite an ending that fits.

Ramza says it himself after the battle at Fort Zeakden. "when it came down to it, I ran away". He couldn't deal. It doesn't make him a wuss or anything. It makes him human. No one can be brave all of the time. As the game progresses and he develops as a man, you see the childlike attitude and mannerisms disappear, to be replaced by confidence and grim determination... But in Chapter One, Ramza was scarcely more than a boy.

Bard (because the normal Bard is horrible)

Items: Sword or Harp (Harp allows broader selection of abilities), clothing class, no robes, males can wear female accessories (call it glamrock..).

Any Gender, who says Women can't be Bards? that's just odd.

The Bard's "Music" act ability is not available to any job class as a secondary ability, nor are the Support Reaction and Movement abilities available to any job but Bard. The Bard's abilities are exclusive because it's awkward manipulation of ability types, the programmers said it was because the Bard's keep to their own, but we know the truth.

Action Abilities
200 JP Sing - Change Support Ability
This ability allows the Bard to change the song that they are singing, unlike the normal Bard available to male casters. they do not sing as their action - they sing as their subliminal activity, making them useful instead of lame.

350JP Dazzle - Stop singing until next AT to stun target.
This ability is a funny sort of trick, the Bard will grab ahold of the attention of their target until either the bard or your target is struck. It has a 100% chance to succeed and lasts until broken manually or by force.

500JP Rude Inturruption - Stop singing until next AT to insult target
This ability works much like the mediator's ability to lower the brave and faith of their target, all in one. This has a 60% + ( faith / 3) chance of succeeding and will lower their Brave and Faith by 30 + MA, 3 of that removed amount is permanent.

1000JP Charm - Stop singing until next AT to charm target.
This ability is like the assassin's charm ability, which will invoke an enemy unit to fight on your side until struck, it has a 100% chance to succeed. This will work on anyone, not just the opposite gender.

Reaction Abilities
600JP Strut to the Beat - The Bard will dance about with his song unwittingly making it difficult for him to be struck.
This ability is a goofy version of blade grasp, instead of preventing being hit by a sword or arrow or bullet (not sure how that works but it does in FFT), it will lower the chance of an enemy to hit by 30% due to the difficulty involved with trying to lead his/her movements.

Support Abilities (songs that you can change about mid battle)
300JP Concerto - The Bard's Allies become more focused
This song provides himself and his compatriots with an added 10% to all abilities, as they are able to focus better than normally as the Concerto serves as an ambient filler, or white noise.

300JP Crescendo - The Bard's Allies attacks become more acute
This song riles the Bard's Allies into striking with his music, filled with crescendos from piano to fortissimo, which strengthens their attacks by 10%, (ie. a 50 damage strike will now do 55 damage).

300JP Memoir - The Bard's Allies become filled with Bravery and Faith
This song adds 4 Brave or Faith with a 25% + MA * (Faith / 10) chance of each by reminding the party of those that have fallen on their path.

300JP Fanfare - The Bard's Allies are filled with Vigor (PA)
This song adds 1 PA to his allies whilst his song is being sung.

300JP Discordant Twang - The Bard pisses off the neighbors
This song makes the Bard's enemies become annoyed by the horrible twanging of the Bard tuning his instrument, The Bard must be equipping a harp to perform this song. This song lowers enemy damage by 10% (ie. 50 damage becomes 45 damage).

500JP Lovesong - Everyone's favoite.
This song adds the Regen status to all allies as long as it is played. The bard must wear a harp to perform this song.

800JP Unique Bombardment of Sound - The bard's only remotely offensive maneuver that doesn't involve thresholds
This song is particularly unique sound and makes the bard's harp simple attack cover all spaces around him/ her. The bard must wear a harp to perform this song.

Movement Abilities
1200JP Turntail - Frightened harp players know how to hide
This ability allows the Bard to run in a frightened panic and hide, this doubles the Bard's movement allowance but if the Bard moves into a square outside of his/ her regular allowance, they stop playing their song and are stripped of their Support Abiliy until the next AT. This abiliy also adds: Invisible.

I think its perfectly legitimate and valid to run from exploding forts.

--------------------

Now the story's played out like this. Just like a paperback novel. Let's rewrite an ending that fits.

sorry to correct you but Celia's and Lede's charm ability is not a guaranteed 100%.

In one of my games my Ramza had Bad compatility with either Celia or Lede and it had 88% chance of charming me, well i'm not really correcting you because everytime they tried it on me they charmed my Ramza... arg i hate you Celia and Lede but i'll pardon you because you are so sexy .

Sayonara

zodiac would change the effectiveness of any of those, of course -- didn't really go in depth into the battle mechanics far enough for that though.

Arsidius Cain
Fallen Angel

bio: angel monk who has turned his back on his god from shame of hidden conspiracy blah blah blah. i decided to make a character to go with the class.

can wear any judo, tai chi, kung fu, karate, kendo, jujitsu or ninjitsu uniform and uses elemental gauntlets as weapons.

skillset: Punch Art (punch arts have no charge except Fury Of All):

Shadow Punch: focuses all power into fist for super powerful attack on all surrounding enemies. range 1 in all directions.

Molotov Cocktail: Cain unleashes some molotov cocktail and chucks it at enemy and it covers the enemy in liquor obviously. causes confusion and slight damage.

(insert cool title) Cain flies out of the battlefield and divebombs the enemy. charge time of 25 i guess.

Bruce Lee Tragedy: (imagine at the cost of one's life FF7's Omnislash with fists that obliterates all enemies on screen. too powerful you say? here's the catch: does not work on bosses or in the final battle of any chapter. i dunno if that ruins the fun out it or what and there is one more drawback cause this skill would enable you to beat the game in a matter of hours. skill can only be used Once Every 4 Game Hours. so if you want to leave your playstation on and come back every four hours to do this easily then so be it. and each hit deals 25 % of character's max HP so the show won't be too too long.)

Power of One: can for one turn and at the cost of 50% of max HP borrow other's attack points and add to character's total for one turn/attack.


Support abilities:
Ask The Lonely: upon death of party member (who is selected when this skill is equipped), Cain teleports to comrade's murderer and hangs him a Holy Hand Grenade and the grenade freezes enemy in place for 4 turns. Reaction skill.


ok this guy is turning out crappy i'll fix him later.

Fair Share
JP: 500
All damage recieved is halved. The other half is given to the attacking character.

So does that work like Damage Split or is all damage reduced by 50% and then the attacke recieves damage equal to half of that?

--------------------

It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck can change

My thinking was that if you are attacked for 500 points of damage, you only recieve 250 of it, and the attacker recieves the other 250.
