I'd just like to see my name in a hack... 

It would be an esper spell that does something like Odin or Raiden, but better. It would attack all targets as if wielding the Scimitar... damage dealt would be high, with a chance to inflict death primarily (ignoring death resistance) and other random statuses, including Confuse, Sleep  , Berserk  , and Silence .

Yes, it's unoriginal and boring, but that's me. 

Hmm, you know what would be an interesting tweak is to modify Blind to FF4's behavior where Magic Power is reduced.

How is not being able to see in any way hindering your ability to speak and chant?

And it would completely destroy any sense of balance that we inserted. No, if your characters are going to be powerhouses, they will have to earn it. There will not be a one-trick pony to assist you this time around.

If FF4 DS's opening FMV is anything to go by you need to spin around and point at your target whenever you cast summon magic, obviously something very bad could happen if you pointed in the wrong direction...

Point taken, except that would be a targetting issue, not a power issue.

I'm pretty damn tired.. I wouldn't know the answer at the moment.

Well, it's easy to retweak it. The status ailment is random. Ddeath would definately have to go through checks, like death resistance, but would have a level check that is more like FF4 (it's a random number generated by both target's levels and compare). Damage dealt would not be cheap. It would consume $$$ like GP Rain, but damage is scaled by level and/or current HP, and weak/strong Vigor stats, depending on how you tweak your characters... Unlike GP Rain where damage = $$$ lost, the money thrown away factors defense so if you deal 0 damage, you are still losing $$$.

That's only the beginning of random ideas I have at this moment.

So, can I be an Esper even though I haven't posted in months because that would be really cool and my attack would totally instantly kill all enemies with 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 damage and this sentence will never en

Make Sketch actually useful?  Maybe say if she successfully sketches a monster and casts a normal learnable magic spell it gives her an extra magic point or % increase in learning said spell?

Make it so that Sketch uses spells that the sketched enemy is weak against? (At least for the more common enemies.)

do you guys plan on having any cameo appearances in the final build whether it be staff or characters from other ff/se games. i know this is a serious project but itd be cool to have a secret reference or nod to video game culture or something humorous from your development process

[Dragonsbrethren]

Oh, plenty.

  vroom!

I don't really have any suggestions I guess. I just want to use Shadow in Pandora's Box. That's what I'm waiting for.

[Panzer88]

all the characters for me. but i will admit i really want to play through with Locke

[Leviathan Mist]

I still want my own cameo. Can I be an obnoxious shopkeeper who only sells cheap, lousy goods, and goes on and on about pointless stuff that no one cares about?

Something i'm curious about. I went through the demo a while back, and I wonder if the grammar has been fixed up since then. I noticed a lot of out of place punctuation, among other things.

[Lenophis]

I'm not positive on the number, but I think the script has been rewritten 4 or 5 times since that demo.
