Make Up A Job

[Biukin]

Ok throughout the entire Final Fantasy Series It seems that people have certain jobs such as (cloud-Soldier, Cid-Dragoon etc.)
so lets make up our own jobs kinda like the FFT way

ok ill start

Blasphamer? i dont know how to spell
Skills: Dark Magic(dark,Blind,etc.), False Profet(gain strength and haste but only for 3 turns then you turn to stone)
Equp:Whips and knives
Req:Red mage LVL 3, Black Mage LVL 8, White Mage LVL 3
Have fun and dont do drugs

*moved to FFT paradise*

The one class I would love to see in something like the FFT series is the Riskbreaker class which is what Ashley Riot was in Vagrant Story.

His command would be Break Arts which sacrifice HP depending on what weapon he has equipped.

Counter would be Dark Art - which at the cost of 10% of MP, he would counter with a Non-Elemental magic attack which can activate from any attack. The nasty thing is the attack has a Drain effect meaning it restores the classes HP (hence the reason it has a MP cost)

Support would be HP Boost 20% and Critical: Risk Art - when knocked to 10% or lower of health, character gets a 20% boost in Attack, Defense, Evasion, and Magic.

Movement would be, MP to HP - where everywhere the person walks, 10% of his MP is sacrificed to restore 10% of his HP.

This is a nice idea, but I'm going to restructure it just a little.

Class: Heretic
A-Abilitiess: Blasphemy
Reaction: Faithless

The Blasphemy ability set focuses on dark and debilitating magics. Its primary damage dealers are Dark, Darkra, and Darkga. Most of its other spells are status oriented, and include the ability to effect enemies with Blind and Doom, and even the rare Zombie status (though this prevents the target by being damaged by the Heretic's Dark spells, and thus must be used intelligently). The most unique ability is the ability False Prophet, which imbues the Heretic with Haste, Magic^, No MP Cost (to make sure it's a buff worth getting at the cost of Doom), and Doom. Faithless is a powerful reaction ability that negates magical damage done to the Heretic, but also negates healing.

For the prerequisites you gave, I don't recall FFT actually having a Red Mage class. For the FFTA style games, I'd go with 6 Black Mage abilities, only, and make it a Nu Mou and Hume race specific job.


Wolfe, your class may only use MP for Reactions and Support, but it is still going to tear through MP like crazy at 10% per action.

[Wolf Kanno]

The class has to burn through HP to use its abilites so the mp needs to be sacrificed to keep his HP up. The class, oddly enough, shows off my play-style that being one something based off a blitzkrieg philosophy. Basically hit them fast and hit them hard.

I didnt mean just in FFT i ment the style of how you would set it up you know how its *NINJA* PRE-Archer Lvl3 Thief Lvl4 and Geomancer Lvl2 well that is what i ment but can have used any job in the series you knwo sorry if that was confusing :dona:

[FFIX Choco Boy]

My idea wouldn't really fit into the *kid friendly* area, but since FFTA2 introduced the Seeq, I think I'm fine.

Job name:
Torturer or Interrogator

Primary Abilities:
Torture or Interrogate - uses abilities that cause fear, disable, immobilize, blind, or silence. These abilities have an average damage output like the elementalist spells, but are melee only and have average mana costs. These are not based on weapon stats.

Reactions:
Deflect - if attacker is adjacent to the character, and there is another enemy adjacent to character, causes the blow to be deflected to hit other enemy. If no other enemy present, does not activate.
Chastise - Counter attacks the attacker with a random status effect from the five abilities can cause. 100% hit chance? Not sure about this.

Supports:
Clarity of Mind - Prevents blind, silence, disable, immobilize, and fear.
Secrets - Generates a 10% chance that abilities will cause another random status effect from the 4 remaining. 20% chance? Idk what to set it at, but 50% would be really over powered.

Stats:
Move - 4
Jump - 3
Eva - 0

Level Progression Stats:
HP - +13
MP - +4
Attack - +6
Def - +4

Types of Equipment:
Weapons - Daggers, Whips, Thrown Weapons, and Twined Wires.
Armor - Medium Armors
Shield - No

Races - Hume, Bangaa

Wow I could go all day with this. Red Mage, Gambler, Paladin, but I'll go ahead and aim at gambler.

Class : Gambler

Weapon type : Gambler tools (toys, such as dice and cards)

Prerequisite Classes : Thief lv 8, time mage lv 2, squire level 4

Base stats : move 2, jump 3, speed 6, evade 6

Basic Skill set : Attack Reels, Element Reels, Status Reels, Bonus Reels, Roll Dice, Roulette.

Support - equip toys

Support - JP x3

Reaction - Magic Guard (this class can not be hit with magic, even cure)

Movement - Move +CT (if you move your gambler after attacking you get a x10 on how many spaces you moved. So if you move three spaces you get 30 CT. It makes the gambler faster)

I feel I have to edit my post and explain a few things.

First, the attack reel is single targeted with a maximum hit of 9 hits. 3 reels with [miss] [1 attack] [2 attack] and [3 attack].

The elemental reels is also single targeted and more advanced as each of the three reels holds 8 elements, fire, ice, thunder, water, earth, wind, light, dark. It works like wakka's did in final fantasy X. Elemental reels are also single targeted with a single elemental fused blow.

The bonus reels are not focused on anything. Each time you use it you have a chance of gaining special bonuses after battle. The Reels are, [double items] [double money] [triple money] or miss. The thing about this is that you have to match them all up. Meaning three of a kind or nothing at all.

Roll dice is like cait siths limit break in FFVII. You get a select number of dice depending on your level 9 being the highest at level 90+. It rolls them and multiplies the amount by 2. Meaning you will only get a max of 108 damage from them at being level 90+. They are a sure go though as they have no wait time.

Also there is roulette. Much like final fantasy VII's enemy skill. Once being used it selects randomly through everyone on field and killing the one the marker lands on.

Hope this clarifies any questions.

Job: Duelist
Race: *Unique job, specific to Gilgamesh*
A-Ability Set: Legend Sword
Support: Multi-Wield (can equip up to three different weapons, including two handed weapons, at one time. Only one of his weapons can be stolen or broken per battle)
Reaction: Riposte (Counters attack with a flurry of blows, striking all surrounding targets)
Equipment: Swords, Greatswords, Broadswords, Knightswords, Spears, All Armor/Headgear (except female specific).

Gilgamesh's Duelist job uses the Legend Sword ability to inflict multiple attacks with all his weapons. Most of his abilities often gain additional effects as more weapons are equipped.


Element Strike, for example, hits with Holy Damage, then Dark Damage, with two weapons equipped, and with three it does a third hit that does Magic Damage.

Status Strike deals damage with each weapon and inflicts Poison, Blind, and Silence on the target.

Taunting Strike deals damage with the first weapon normally, the second weapon damages and inflicts Berserk on the target, while the third damages and inflicts Charm.

Excalibur deals one damage for each of the first two hits, then massive damage with the third weapon's final strike.

Claim Weapon lets him steal the weapon from an opponent who has fallen in battle, provided he can use that weapon type, and has space to equip another weapon.

Imbue applies the Haste, Shell, and Protect buffs to Gilgamesh.

Fly Enkidu strikes all enemies in an area with Gilgamesh's companion, dealing extra physical damage, but not including his weapons Atk in the damage calculation.



Gilgamesh is designed as a boss you'll fight a couple times. His abilities do get weakened if you steal or break one of his weapons (especially Excalibur), so that will help. He has two strategies open to him. He can inflict statuses to wear you down (Berserk is a painful one, since it opens you up to his powerful counterattacks), or just dish out heavy damage with his damaging strikes. Fly Enkidu gives him a long range attack with a large area of effect, so playing keep away won't keep you totally safe. And be careful not to leave characters dead if you do remove one of his weapons, because he'll claim one of theirs if he can.

[Slothy]

Class: Centurion

Weapon type: Short swords, spears, shields, light armour

Base stats: Not sure about stats, but I'm thinking a decent attack and defense with a mid range movement. They get a +2 movement range when moving on flat ground, paths, roads, that sort of thing.

Skills:
- Defend which doubles the chance of blocking an attack from the front and counter attack the enemy if adjacent to them
- Throw javelin - overlaps a bit with Ninja's I suppose, but they'd be able to throw stocked Javelin's up to three squares away. Maybe Javelin's could be an equippable item that only they can throw but can't be re-equipped mid battle (max of two equipped at a time).

Support:
- Phalanx - increases the odds of blocking a frontal attack by 20% when adjacent to another Centurion not using Defend and a slightly smaller chance when using Defend.
- Double time - When an enemy is within 3 squares, the Centurion uses half as much of whatever the time gauge is called in the game (can't believe I'm blanking on that) when ending their movement adjacent to the enemy.
- Strength of the Legion - Successful melee attacks deal 10% more damage for each friendly Centurion adjacent to the attacking Centurion

Basically the idea behind Centurions is to make them a lot stronger when working together but vulnerable from behind, and to magical attacks as well. They'd also be a bit of a risky proposition in combat since using them to their fullest potential obviously requires fewer of other classes making them difficult to support adequately.

This was kind of fun. I've never looked to military history to try and develop a class or unit for a game before (which is a pretty big oversight on my part in retrospect). Most of the time I look for strategy gaps or potential weaknesses to be exploited and fill them in fun and interesting ways. I think this class would be pretty fun to use in a Tactics game though.

Hunter is a class from FFTA and FFTA2. Basically a heavier archer more focused on direct damage than debilitating enemies (which Archers did with their various Aim abilities). Also, in TA and TA2, abilities, even weapon abilities, automatically negate terrain obstacles. Only normal attacks can be blocked by terrain. Some nice ideas in this one, though.

Yeah, this is basically exactly the Seeq Ranger class from FFTA2, except with a greater variety of traps included, and some rather interesting, if overpowered, Reaction abilities. And without Mirror Items. I like some of the trap ideas, but really, giving the ability to detonate all traps on the map, and AOE traps... That leads to some crazy power there.

The name Arcanist is already taken, but otherwise, an interesting experiment. Still, if the Blue Mage's Night spell shows us anything, it's that things that have a chance of hitting all enemies and all allies wind up hitting allies way, way more. The supports are actually nice ideas. Constant buffs to adjacent units works well for a support unit.

The Move Ability is clever, but there is one problem: MA is useless without a damaging spell. Granted, you can use it on another job once mastered, or give a new subset to it, so it's not as bad as Ezel's Hermetic job (special unit in FFTA, unable to jobchange, incredibly, insanely high magic attack, and zero attack spells), but it is still out of place.

Like Holy Explosion or Earth Slash. I tried to emulate the messed up format the game presents it in.

Hunter is a class from FFTA and FFTA2.

I was highly guessing there would be some overlap

Whoops, typo. The detonate all traps only happens on when the Tracker is K.O.ed.
The steel needle one is also kind of a double edged sword, as it clutters up the combat area for your units too.

MA would probably be the determining factor for the success rate or power of the buff.
Also look at all the Calculator's abilities, completely useless on that class but good to equip to another.
