If you could adopt and adapt a system from any FF title...

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

The FF9 gear ability system is what I was anticipating or FFTA style. Learning abilities from gear. Wearing the same type of gear allows those abilities to stack up.

i.e. White Mage staff allowed you to use White Mage abilities. Robes improve caster stats via learned traits. Switching to other robes allows you to maintain robe traits. Switching to heavy armor, you might not benefit from robe traits.

At least in terms of a leveless, Armoury-driven system.

I bet XIII's battle system could be implemented into an MMO somehow.

and Yeah, XII is the most feasible, seeing as how it is basically XI, but you can control your party o.o

I think if the old FF14 stamina system had been reworked some, it would have functioned closer to XIII's battle system. I think the chain, stagger, and wound mechanics would have added pretty in-depth, quick paced combat on top of incapacitation.

So what you want is a bot basicly?

Pretty much. better an pet you know exactly what it's going to do, than the 3 years of automaton casting status cure over cure crap that killed puppetmasters for years. Or the aspir at 50% despite a mob being darkness based (75% if you had optic fiber equipped!) despite not needing aspir at all. Or... well, lots of things like that. gambit system got a lot of hate because you could use gambits on your entire party, yourself included, but it was pure genius for making your npc buddies do exactly what you wanted them to do.

A gambit system for any pet jobs that come in this game would go a long ways toward fixing issues with pet AI before it starts... and perhaps offer opportunities for crafters to make gil, if gambits are crafted, similar to how some attachments were in FFXI.

Gambits for NPC's (such as BST pets, Summons, Chocobos) I think is fine ONLY if you can set 1-4 things max, too much and it'll take the interaction away from the main job.

Gambits for players though, HELL NO!

why no one's interested with Sabin's Monk abilities...
It would be fun playing Monk ala Street Fighter.

I thought the sphere grid was a really good character building tool. The licence board was kinda cool too, but had more limitations than the sphere grid imo. I think the sphere grid could work in an MMO. It would just have to be really huge.

I forgot, was Sphere Grid the ability system in X or XIII? If it's the one in XIII, then yes, I was thinking the same thing.

If it's the one in X, then I'm not for sure. It's been so long since I've played X, I don't even remember how it works. O.O

It's the system present in pretty much every main stream offline title since X in some fashion. It's how you progressed your character, i.e maxing out stats/abilities/licenses (XII) etc etc.

Oh! I do love Final Fantasy's offline skill progression. I wish online games would adopt it. (If it's feasible.)
