Crashing Cloud's Party

[VeloZer0]

Why does Cloud get to be the only FF cameo to join the party? Here is where we brainstorm what a host of other FF characters would look like if they were to appear in FFT.

(I know that in the game custom classes just get an action skill-set and the default squire counter/support/move abilities, but we can pretend they get real ones too.)

[Tigmafuzz]

I'd like to see what you would give Bartz for support skills.

[VeloZer0]

Bartz was on my list of ones to make, but I couldn't really decide what the heck to do with him. He is so all over the map.

[Tigmafuzz]

That's what I thought

[Gamblet]

Good job, Velo! I wish that those characters were actually in the game, those abilities and classes you chose for them just fit perfectly with the game.

[Edge7]

I guess Bartz would be a versatile unit like Ramza.

[VeloZer0]

My main problem wasn't with that, but more with how to make him different from the other FF5 characters in ways relevant to FFT that wouldn't compromise the free forming spirit of FF5.
