One Ability I hope Pictomancers have!

Hello future pictomancers,

One ability I am hoping they have is the ability to sketch a party member so they appear in a cartoony 2D painted way and copy their skills and fight with the party for a certain amount of time. I think that will be so cool.

Come one devs! Make it happen hehe. The hype is to real for Dawntrail!

If they really want to pay homage to FFVI, they should make the LB 'Sketch' and using it breaks your game and corrupts your character.

Nice idea, but probally not possible.
It would probally be to complex to write the Codes for that. The game would need to notice the exact appereance of the targeted chara, and than need a data base of all options in cartoon Form or need to calculate the data down to that.
Maybe my tought are wrong, but i simply think, that this would be to hard to make.

I would have expected the Pictomancer LB3 to be Star Prism.

If I could guess, PIC's LB3 is going to be whatever Krile used on the cinematic.

I think it can be possible. The first 24 man. I think the fight with Nald’Thal. He created copy images of party members.

Or it could be the level 100 ability.

Correct, but that image wasn't stylized like a painting or what we've seen so far for Pictomancer's effects. That's the question.

It would be kinda funny to see a painted image of a party member but cool nonetheless I think lol.

I mean, they can already 'save' a screenshot from another party member using the portrait system... imagine if a certain action used the same thing and changed the vfx of the spell with the picture lol.

Now, that would be a cool idea... PIC doesn't have a personal utility button, but instead 'borrows' the other job's personal utilities (so it won't mess with any sort of meta) like Manaward, Warden's Paean, Shade Shift, Icarus.

Sketch: Instant cast oGCD - Draw a sketch of a party member. (Shows character portrait in the animation but with a special sketch filter)
Render: Instant cast oGCD, 90s recast time - Finishes the sketch of a party member and casts one of their actions. (Shows character portrait in the animation but with a special painterly filter)

If too strong, maybe Sketch could be usable only out of combat, so you have to pick your 'muse' beforehand and stick with their action.

There are multiple duties in the game where characters are copied. Lost City of Amdapor. Aglaia. One of the job quests. Copying characters is easy. After that, applying some extra effects to mute the colors a bit and add rough sketch lines shouldn't be too difficult.
