The Final Fantasy Legend
I’ll let the game speak for itself here.
It’s time to choose a party! Despite what it may appear here, there’s actually only three different races/classes to choose from here. The main difference between them is actually how they gain stats and abilities (this game has no traditional levelup system).
Humans level up through steroids. No, really - they’ll never gain stats in combat, and you have to buy fairly expensive potions to increase their stats. This can get pretty stupid if you know how to game the system.
Mutants, or Espers in the Japanese version, gain stats pseudo-randomly after battle - there’s a method to it, but I don’t fully understand it. (This will be a recurring theme in this thread). They also gain and lose magical abilities - they can get some pretty dope shit, but there’s always the risk it’ll randomly be replaced by a shitty Cure spell or a weakness to fire or something.
Monsters are considered the weirdest and most unpredictable class, but they’re actually completely deterministic. After battle, there’s a chance that enemy monsters will drop meat. If a Monster eats that meat, they will transform according to a lookup table. In general, eating the meat of stronger monsters leads to better transformations, but this isn’t always the case. I’ll be keeping the lookup table on-hand for this LP.
So, it’s audience participation time! This isn’t a challenge thread, so I’ll be going with a pretty basic party here. I need a name and gender for one human and one mutant, a name for a monster, and a name, gender, and race (only human or mutant, I don’t want to bother with juggling two monsters) for our fourth party member. I’ll let the suggestions run until Friday and then pick my favorites.
