Final Fantasy Job Restriction Challenge

[nik0tine]

I haven't done a challenge in a long time and I've decided on another one. This challenge isn't meant to be as hard as it is fun. The idea is that I will assign each character a class and only junction stats applicable to that class and only assign abilities applicable to that class. For example, if I made Squall a knight I could equip things like Str+20% or Str bonus, Vit+20% or vit bonus and perhaps HP+20%. I could not equip Magic+20%. I could junction magic to HP, Vit, and Str but I could not junction anything to my Spr or Mag stats. I could use special abilities like counter and maybe even auto protect but I could not use auto haste or auto shell. Also I could use attacks like Attack and Renzokuken but I could not use Magic or summon GF's. And so one with each class.

However I haven't completely decided on the rules yet. I want to make this similar to FFVs crystal shards. Basically, every time I obtain a GF it allows for the acquisition of a new class(es). With that in mind I want anyone interested to help me come up with a list of jobs for every GF. This should be based in part upon what the GF allows the character to do. For example I have decided Ifrit will allow the Knight class because of his strength abilities.


Also, I am considering restricting classes for each character based on both abilities and personalities. I am not sure if I want to do this though. For example, Squall could be a knight or any assault based class but I would restrict him from becoming a mage of any sort. Should I implement this restriction?

And another thing, I need to come up with a list of abilities each class can perform, as well a what stats they can junction.




I will start by listing the GFs and the classes they will unlock. I will fill this in as time goes on, giving me time to think about this. So far, these are my ideas. If anyone wants to add or suggest changes to this list please do. Give reasoning if possible. Any ideas are welcome.

I have decided on that these GF's unlock these jobs:
Quezacotl - White Mage
Shiva - Monk
Ifrit: Knight
Siren: Black Mage
Brothers: Geomancer
Diablos: Time Mage
Carbuncle: Summoner
Leviathan: Red Mage
Pandemona: Sorcerer
Cerberus: Thief
Alexander: Paladin
Doomtrain: Dark Knight
Bahamut: Chemist
Cactuar: Ranger
Tonberry: Berserker
Eden: Gambler


Odin: Blue Mage
Gilgamesh: Dancer

Thats where I am at right now. If anyone is interested help me edit these rules so I can get this thing started.
