Update on Battle Regimens

[Rukkirii]

We wanted to give everyone an update on battle regimens; once we have finalized the battle fixes and implemented jobs in patch 1.21, we will move forward with our plans to re-implement an optimized battle regimen system to go along with the battle system. Since combos have just recently been added, we will also be looking into the possibility of changing the battle regimen system.

Due to this, we are unable to provide any additional information or an implementation date, but we will be sure to let you know of any other information that comes our way.

Thank you for the update Rukkirii.

If they go an XI-ish route, I would say shuffle things up, placing the magic cast anywhere in the battle regimen, not only at the end.

With the current battle system and the state of the self-combo system, there's really only one way to go with battle regimens. It will likely be that our finishers will end up being used for battle regimen's. So instead of spending 1500 TP for 3 attacks, we will likely end up spending 3000 TP each among the players in the regimen for a strong attack.

You might be able to do various things like add bonuses from attacking all from the same direction... like, Everyone in the battle regimen attacks from the rear, and it will cause rear incapacitating damage for all attacks.

Otherwise, the bonus for doing the regimens would have to be insane for us to not use our other weapon skills with our combos, or it would have to allow for combos within regimens, which may be fun or may become way too complicated.

Please make regimen (regiment?) awesome. I'm completely willing to wait a few extra patches if you make it as smooth as combos.

it make more sense for it to be at the end Ws---> Ws --> Ws = dark skillchain then follow by the black mage doing a nuke doing 3-5k Dmg.

I was hoping that magic and WS would work something like how I imagined it would when I saw that trailer where the party is fighting a malboro, and the mage casts a fire spell on the archer's bow and it turns it into a fire arrow. This is the kind of group combos I want to see.

Mage casts thunder before the melee's weaponskill and turns the damage into thunder based attack. Similar to how pugilist fist currently works.

edit: Actually I have a lot of inspirations on what sort of group combos there should be, might as well write up a post since I am waiting for maintenance lol

Not really. Mages are people just like everyone else. ; ___ ;

Why should our abilities only chain if we have two DoWs? Two DoMs or one of each could never do anything together.

It didn't bother me as much in XI because we *all* had weapon skills. Even Black Mage, though they never really gained TP. At least for duoing, I could use a staff WS to chain with my melee friend before raeeeeeping a mob with a magic burst.

No thanks.

Please Go Crono Trigger/Cross on this and make it so that Battle Regimes require two or more specific classes with specifc skills to create New skills.

Fire + Fast Blade = Red Lotus Blade

Leg Sweep + Sucker Punch = Some Crazy Skill Where Lancer Trips the Enemy and Puglist drives it's face into the ground.


You don't have to make every skill link every skill. Personally, I'd rather only certain combos work. But the potential for higher tiers of this could make for very interesting mechanics.

DO NOT:

Allow for infinite time to set up these skills while everyone stands around unable to attack.
