Well the thread really is just set in the Tactics universe. Set nearly fifty years after the game factions are beginning to make their move for power. The characters are caught in the middle as the world slowly burns into chaos. Rensha was in the last one and people seemed to enjoy it. Other then a few city names and classes the thread is pretty loose as far as creativity it's your world to create, just using the Ramza story as a background.
While I hate the name Ramza :p I actually started play FFT again just the other day. If you start up that thread, I'll probably have to find time for it.
likewise :)
I can't find mine. I'm so pissed. I started daydreaming at work and remembered all the little things I liked about the game. I wanted to go through and make a whole team of chemists with ninja secondary jobs... mabey even use some cheats to make a team of holy knights or those little dancer chicks you fight on the roof in that one mission. That's the only mission I really remember becase I failed it like 300 times >.<
It's no cheat. ;) now what IS a cheat is unlimited items from the changing rooms. :)
Another one I liked was the dark knight one for Ramza that I haven't gotten around to verifying cause I screwed up (I think) on ONE thing, so I'm not entirely certain.
Never did the cloud thing. I don't really care too much :\
Cloud is really useless in FFT. I got him after seeing the easter egg in a magazine, and like most FF fans, I think VII got the genre really noticed. I picked him up in a normal playrhough, but you get him several dozen levels below the rest of your party. Taking him on missions usually result in his death, and dead teammates don't earn JP or EXP. Even if you did level him up, his skills are very much similar but very much weaker than the samurai skills.
That's one thing I really didn't care for too much in FFT. All the special characters and thier little stories really didn't do anything for me. Beowulf was useless next to an Oracle and Reis was just useless overall. Mustudio was really cool when you first got him and you archers were low on JP, but it didn't take long for a crossbow to overpower a gun. Most of the time, my team consisted of Ramza (because he had to be there) as a Knight, a Chemist, two Archers and a chocobo (the yellow one) for Ramza to ride, plus any other additions the game gives me as NPCs. The other slots (I think party size got up to 8?) I filled with random people I picked up along the way.
As for the dark knight, I didn't like it very much. They only have two realativly short ranged spells that don't do much damage. I don't remember what they were called, but that one class that could break equipment with sword spells was really awesome.
never played Tactics, but I am sure you will explain it to me.
Ok, so I started a thread called The City of An. It is a casual thread, which means you can come and go as you will. Hopefully, people will catch on to the idea of creating characters and creating a city. In the future, it might be the staging grounds for quest threads if there is enough interest. I created it mostly as a place to just lounge around and use my creative box when I'm bored.
Any one up for some sort of superhero themed thread? And if so, what sort of feel do you want from the thread? Silver Age heroics? Gritty realism? An academy for young powered students, ala X-men?
I wouldn't mind a super hero thread. One of the ideas I had mentioned before was of a high school setting with just normal stuff going on. Then I thought (but didn't mention) of an X-Men type school. It would not only allow us to create unique young heroes (joy!) but it would give a ton of room for growth. Also, it would give us a chance to do 'everyday life' sort of stuff, with an added twist. One thing I liked the the X-Men movies was the interaction of the students (aka young Iceman making the ice rose for young Rogue, and all that jazz).
hehe... I wouldnt mind a hero type school thread, but make it more realistic kinda like Heros crossed with X-men. That would be cool.
In lieu of there actually being a super-hero thread, there is an Academy in An (see my thread for details). Being a magical world and all, there is some room for you to create heroic type characters with special abilities there in a fantasy setting. I know it's not a perfect solution, though. :)
The more people involved in that thread, the better. I'm happy to interact with anyone who comes in there, but it would really become fun when people start taking the creation process outside of me. I'll still be diligent in chronicling the growth of it in terms of places and people who are there.
I found City Of An a little too... busy for my tastes. Maybe if each part of the city was a seperate thread it work a little better for me. I dont know. *Shrug*
Hey Everyone, so I've come to the conclusion that, at least for myself (and I assume a few others follow the same kind of pattern), I need something new and fresh to re-spark my interest. Was wondering what people would want to participate in?
I have an idea for a Deus Ex type thread set a little bit into the future focusing around secret organizations, conspiracy, and using nanotech as cool backdrop, but wanted to see what people are looking for?
I am in for anything.:)
