i think since the game has a create your own character for skills and actual jobs use a similar system to final fantasy tactics for the Playstation one it was remade recently for the psp with a similar name using this system would be great as it would take a long time to gain skills from each job and unlocking jobs as well

just an idea...

unrelated but if you had 10 to 20 seconds to pick your own items before other people go and steal them that would be great

Can you please buy me a copy of the game and a PSP so that I can take a look how this system works? Unfortunately I don't own every game system and every game ever made.

Alternatively you could just describe how the system works.

This should do. I haven't read it myself yet.

is so hard to look it up? just type the name of the game in Google and read if u really want to play get a ps1 emulator and final fantasy tactics for PS1

ok, briefly this isnt a bad idea,

ff tactics job system is a prerequise tree, to be job x u need to have job y at level z and job u at level v...
the thing i like is that you can only use 1 job at a time, meaning even a max level wizard can need to start his knight at level 1.

You can modify that system by allowing players to receive bonuses from more than 1 class at a time, doing a main class that would give some bonus to which ever other classes the player use.
Also this works well for crafting professions, to be a carpenter you need lumberjack at level 10.

Also adding stashes for players wouldnt be a bad idea, for some create accounts just to have mules.

Other harder ideas would be to allow players to control more than 1 character at a time, like swords of the new world in which players use 3 characters at a time.

Then it's not really a system for us. We already decided to go with a classless system and designed the whole game concept around this premise.

Then what is Skills

Basic job level 10?

I was talking about the new gameplay on the new server.

Also note that having skills does not necessarily imply a class system.

skills is a way to do a class system, and such system can change.

like skills time magic would give different time spell abilities, this is equivalent to a class in ffxi.
Basic skills giving sit at some point, its an ability, if a skill give couple different abilities it can be compared to partitionned classes.

Also some ideas here can be applied to skill system, like prerequises, maximising a skill, being able to select a certain number of active skills, while other arent used at a time, having few main skills receiving full skill xp.

its like there is only one character which can do it all but only parts of it at the same time, everyone can make a unique character and access the whole game

My current idea. We have a job level why not use it? Increase the maximum job level to 50+. Names should be changed if used. I was just making them up. Initial class should be chosen upon registering new character. Attribute points should be given to abilities as well as to status. Note: this would divide skills between weapons and abilities.
I'm not writing mp reduction rate.

I will write the rest later.

There won't be a job level on the new server. We won't have any MP either. And as I said, there won't be any classes.

Instead of that any character can learn anything (using a learning-by-doing system), but your attribute distribution will decide what you are good at.

Read the wiki for more information.

Hmmm.... I think there should be job classes.... Being able to go into anything is kinda lame, and there should be more focus on branching out through your characters job.

You choose rogue, later on you would either like to become a scout, then sniper. Or branch it into thief, luckymicluckertin. Or bandit then assassin.

Could make a really good game doing this, adding even more jobs in the future you could branch into. Each job would have a set of skills you can either learn, find, or start with.

Btw, if you havn't figured it out yet luckymicluckertin would have a luck increase in finding items from mobs.

Agree, the game already got xp for the jobs themselves, I even think a limit break bar would be good.
I also think a stash is vital to the game.

Players seems to agree to this ingame.
