Title: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: Shinami on May 10, 2007, 02:10:44 AM
Just choose which option best describes the feeling of using a Final Fantasy Tactics System in your project. System would include:
1.Turn based battle system.
2.Class bonuses(already done)
3.Class changing
4.Unique classes(Holy Knight, Mechanic, Divine Knight etc. like FFT)
5.Hirelings from shops.

More features would undoubtedly come but more or less, I just want to see who'll use it and who won't before I decide to devote a large amount of time to an enormous project like this. Cast your vote and then post why you voted the way you did please.

I voted yes. I wish you the best of luck if you do it. If not, I won't hold a grudge, I know it's a huge project.

But, if you do, I'd totally use it, because the battle system of FFT is great.

By turn based battle system you don't mean the tactical system, right?

Also, 3 and 5 have both been done, just wanted you to know that so you don't waste time on scripts that have already been made ;)

Turn based just as it was in Final Fantasy Tactics. Only one "character" at a time will be moving or performing actions.

Honestly, I hate using other people's scripts for my personal scripting projects but I'll definitely look into how the "Hireling from shop" script was done for idea so that I can make something similar for personal use that works the way I need it to.

I would use it. You said the FFT's Battle System is Turn Based, but actually it is a tactical battle system where there are squares and stuff, right? Or am I just confused.

Describing it that way just makes it a grid battle system..what makes it tactical is that being above, behind, to the side of someone etc. gives you certain bonuses.

Post by: Esmeralda on May 18, 2007, 05:33:37 PM
I heard of that one. Just can't find it. Is it in the downloads sections or the forums?  :tpg:
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: The Shadow on May 18, 2007, 05:34:58 PM
It should be on battle systems. Check there.

Even the script was here...
I've post it loong time ago (so I didn't know if the link still works or not)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?

You'll find the script in the forums.  :tpg:

This will probably be my first failed project. LOL *begins pondering how to setup the tiles and ranges* Movement...*shudders*I think I'll be learning a lot about patience and RGSS when I begin this project. Regardless, I'll at least give this a shot once I finish my current request.

There are others, but they're quite... clumsy. I hope this one turns out good  ;9

Post by: Revo on May 20, 2007, 06:37:31 PM
Even if this turns out to be a failure, you have my support. So please give it a shot when you can. ;D
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: modern algebra on May 20, 2007, 06:41:39 PM
At the very least, you'll learn a lot about scripting. Good luck with this.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: Sthrattoff on May 21, 2007, 03:49:04 AM
Yup, you should continue make it!
Others exist but still... Weird.
You should make a new one, which easy to configure.

Are the maps gonna be isometric?  :tpg:
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: Shinami on May 21, 2007, 05:56:51 AM
Nope. I don't have the knowledge to do something like that.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: modern algebra on May 21, 2007, 07:10:52 AM
isometric wouln't be useful anyway, because you'd need to find or build isometric tilesets.

It's better to do it in a regular way. Good luck Shinami
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: Esmeralda on May 21, 2007, 11:37:11 AM
Original way makes it look like a grid-battle system. There are a lot of those. Besides, you could always rip graphics or make your own, it's not that hard by using this equation;

1 Map = 1 Tileset.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy Tactics System-Would you use it?
Post by: Ikzai on May 21, 2007, 07:08:10 PM
If you do, do the isometric script, could you make two versions? One without/ one with?

Really? Do you have a link to any of these grid-battle systems? I'm interested.

I meant a system like this is a grid-battle system. There are no isometric tactical battle scripts, and there probably never will. I still admire everyone who script. Gotta give 'em a hand. If u want a grid battle system, go get ZTBS from www.hbgames.org .

EDIT:
Why is the first option in the poll 'Nah. Don't waste your time'? It didn't say that when I voted...?

Post by: Shinami on May 21, 2007, 08:35:05 PM
As I said before, I only have ideas on how to make this work. I have little to no idea how Game_Map and Scene_Map work. On top of that, it'll be my first attempt at utilizing events AND scripts together to make something work. Ironically, I'm weak at events. Before I begin work on this though, I'm going to finish a card system request.

hbgames.org isn't working at all for me. Is it down? ;_;

Yeah, I think so. They have some server problems and such. Money problems, I don't know, but they've been down for a while.
