Posted August 5, 2018 · Report post Oracle learns skills in order: !Recover, !Predict, Turbo MP, !Fate, Enigma Enigma - innate, grants chance to dodge spells like aegis shield, though at 20% instead of 33% and does not stack, shield takes priority !Predict - 8 spells; each can be only used once per battle, execution requires a cast time of about 2 turns (double of !Jump), all 8 are unlocked by default Deluge: deals water/ice ground-type damage to all enemies Hurricane: deals wind damage to all enemies, extra strong against heavy enemies Plague: deals level-based poison damage to all enemies, can inflict poison and blind Dark Fog: can inflict poison, blind, mute, paralyze, stop to all enemies Starfall: deals high random-type ice/earth damage to all enemies Calamity: deals high fire/earth damage to all enemies, sets terrain elements to earth/fire Blessing: heal entire party, cures poison and blind Judgment: deals high holy/bolt damage to all enemies, heal party based on damage dealt !Fate - single target offensive spell but the effect changes based on the caster's name; potential effects include: magic damage (regular, def piercing or own HP based) HP drain to self or party one or more of various status effects: blind, poison, mini, toad, petrify, mute, berserk, charm, paralyze, sleep, old, slow, stop What does this Oracle variant have in common with the vanilla Oracle? {NULL} Spoiler The original was - at least for me - not usable. Spells seemed to be choosen at random but weren't, they are decided by the caster's MP single digit, with a couple of the spells killing your party. Damage was also not dependant on your own stats, only the single digit HP of the target mattered; that +1 is a direct damage multiplier - and guess what: most monster start with xxx0 HP. No thanks, regular magic damage but with higher power and a delay with no action to kill my party seems much more appropriate to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) · Report post Noticed something odd. Steal adds an element to the field. I think it's either the item stolen or the... bottle-element? if it fails. Seems pretty fun so far. In the ship graveyard running with a Knight, Tinker, Thief, and Black Mage so far. Only died once, because I had run straight to the wind temple without going to town and fought the boss with Bartz wearing a ruby. Not the best idea.

Posted August 20, 2018 · Report post Steal should have the poison element - though that doesn't affect the action itself; the upgraded form uses your weapon's element because there it is part of the attack. I hope you read the beginner's house, it should explain the most important new things. I'm half sad that a visit to the town is almost required - and half not because that way the chance is higher that people get some info from the info dump beginner's house. This way Raptor is the most likely candidate to win the "hardest boss in the game" award Btw. which scan HP display is preferable? just the total HP, not hinting at things like HP break points or a proper split into effective HP and number of remaining segments (LP) there was quite a bit of confusion over the HP values so far... like the boss has 3k left, was hit for 2x 2k (x-magic) and then another x-fight - and he was only down to 1k HP. Turns out the first point of reference was about 500 HP from the next threshold, so 3.5k damage wasted from the x-magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 20, 2018 · Report post Oh, right - well that's a quirk of how I added the element icon addition; I just read what is displayed in the top dialog. So when it says "[ice]Potion stolen" it sees the [ice] and adds that to the list. I was at one point thinking about having Gilgamesh break the 4th wall and just shout his preferred elements in his banter to change the field to his needs.

Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) · Report post Well, technically you're not supposed to bother with the boss live mechanic. That's mostly for me so I can give more max HP and reduce the abuse power of certain skills and status effects. In other news, next job'll be Crusader, gained at the first crystal the starter set of jobs to 8: learns skills in order: Endure, !Esemte, !Slash, Heal Amp, Pierce !Esemte - again a set of 8 skills, this time the gimmick is that they are cast from HP (in %, not absolute numbers; the most expensive one costs 14%) Cruzfire: physical attack that hits all enemies Recover: Cure but a bit weaker Execute: single target physical attack Shout: hits all enemies for some ice VIT-based damage and lowers their magic power Size Up: very weak physical attack that reduces defenses and evasion Growth: maxHP x2 (same as one mix outcome, not stackable) Shield Bash: single target physical attack, only strong with shield equipped; then it gains damage bonus based on defense Cover: toggle Cover on or off on self new skills are unlocked based on current HP; get hit too much and you may forget how to heal (if you still can't guess what this references, blame Atlus for the inspiration) Edited August 21, 2018 by praetarius5018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) · Report post Next up is the Arcanist, gained at the 4th crystal. learns skills in order: !Psych, !Arcane, Y-Magic, !Mystic, MindUp !Arcane - a set of 8 spells, this time the gimmick is that they only perform well under certain conditions ChainBolt: attack power increases with number of targets GrimWail: damage increases if target has status ailment L4 Arctic: affects enemies with level dividable by 4, ice elemental flare Slay: x4 damage against human enemies Ancient: level based damage, chance to inflict old Sludge: level based damage, chance to inflict poison OddFlare: affects enemies with odd remaining health, casts flare XXXX: instantly kill target if at or below 3000 HP !Mystic - same deal, for technical reasons I can only use exactly 8 spells per spell set, so... yeah... SineShot: power fluctuates along a sine curve based on passed ATB ticks in current battle Synchro: try to inflict most status ailments that plague your team on the target (only blind, poison, mini, toad, petrify, mute, berserk, charm, paralyze, sleep, old, slow, stop) L3 Toxic: affects enemies with level dividable by 3, poison elemental flare Crusher: deals damage equal to target's max HP - current HP (same as the blue spell of this name) VoidElem: party gains one-time shield (1/4 damage) against any element the caster was at least resistant to; does not apply against attacks with pierce passive or those absorbed Twilight: punches someone in the face when they mention a book level based damage, chance to inflict sleep EvenNuke: affects enemies with even remaining health, casts wind elemental counterpart to flare Cleanse: remove status damage and HP leak (same effect as white/pure has now) new skills are unlocked just by gaining total job levels, the job is imo hard enough to master, doesn't need a more involved unlock process Edited October 25, 2018 by praetarius5018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 21, 2018 · Report post 5 are missing. And I've concepts for them already. Just not 100% I can make all those mechanics or if I have enough usable ability ids... Lord Spoiler Basically Kaiser from Bravely Second. Sets powerful (de)buffs that affect everyone, player and mosnter alike. Might also get MMBN like element traps in the form of "laws". Dark Knight Spoiler Physical attacks that get stronger the less HP he has. !Stomp from knight to draw attention. Maybe a taunt that enrages enemies. Vampire Spoiler Undead healer. That idea was so dumb I just have to try it. Gets also some elements from FF5A necro but in usable. You know, the part where you have to hunt certain enemy types to learn new (non-summon) spells melded with their !Oath to summon 1 of 4 random enemies to immitate a spell. So with this version you beat certain enemies and you gain them as summon spells. Story for that: I was at one point contemplating that there are not many good healer options besides white and maybe red mage. So I wanted to add another one. I thought what kind of "gimmick" this one would get - white mage is the default/boring choice, red mage burns extra mp with his x-magic, chemist can't multitarget and has crippling cooldowns, blue mage needs white wind which comes very late and is hard to get and also requires the caster to be at good HP, any !animal user is just pure RNG for healing, summoner requires you to be able to deal damage with sylph (poison!), time mage has heal over time but no burst heal... so "undead" immediatly shot into my head. And since undead take damage from normal healing that was an angle I simply had to try. Magus Spoiler Caster that taps into the power of the void... to be a total pacifist? all spells cost regular MP & MAX MP -Hex, remove status resistances; 50% chance for each status -Shred, lowers element resistances from absorb to immune to resistance to neutral -Drain Sphere, gives *everyone* auto-HP leak; stacks with regular HP leak -Enervate, lowers maxHP by 100 (not below 5k) and all stats by 2-3 (not below half initial value) -GigaNova, terrain set and LOCKED to void, nobody gets damaged - why would the planet exploding hurt anyone? -LifeMark, target is marked; if killed while that LifeMark is active, player party gets healed by 1/8 of victim's maxHP -BombMark, target is marked; if killed while that BombMark is active, remaining monsters get damaged by 1/3 of victim's maxHP (but not below 1) -Amp Mark, target is marked; attacking the target over and over leads to increasing damage (alternating +1 Stat and +1 Level in M formula?) ---only one mark can be active at the same time ---you can mark your own party members; the effect still hits the sides mentioned above Sage Spoiler Basically a red mage that gets DnD meta magic instead of X-Magic. Like spellblade but for spells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
