CloseAchieving 1 HP just to use over-powered Limit Glove feels stupid, unless there is some way that there are abilities that decrease character's HP to 1.
It worked just fine in Final Fantasy IX. Besides, there are 27 other Blue Magic spells the player can choose to cast.

author=WCouillardNever played Final Fantasy IX, but having 28 different Blue Magic spells sounds comforting. ;)

Does limit glove have any effect if the user isn't at HP-1? Never played more than ~20 minute of FF9.
Y'all silly. Just get yourself poisoned and run out the health. I don't think a move like 'Limit Glove' is meant to be used often, kind of like ff7's OP 7777 hp move.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Funny, since last time I played FF9, I used Limit Glove in almost every single battle when I had a blue mage, to kill level 40 monsters in one turn when I was level 10. It takes some time to set up, but once you do, you're essentially invincible for the rest of the game. It did not "work" in FF9 - it was the most broken-ass ability in the game. It's gonna be even more broken in your game, since you have spells like Tornado and Resuscitate to set it up even easier, and an auto-haste accessory to make sure the blue mage almost always goes before the enemy and ends the battle before it starts. (Maybe make Resuscitate grant 2-5 HP instead of 1-5?)
Anyway I obviously don't think Limit Glove as written is good game design; I recommend making it also either kill or fully heal the user (depending on how mean you're feeling). That way you can't set it up once and then keep using it over and over until you eventually take an unlucky hit in a multi-enemy battle (which, if the player has any brain, is going to take quite a long time). That'd be an acceptable balancing method - I think you're already kind of assuming that the player won't spam it, so it's better to really make sure they can't.
Even then I'd say it's probably too easy to set up right before every boss in the game. Consider not having it learnable until late enough in the game that bosses have way more than 9999 HP, or else making it bullshit-elemental and making all your bosses immune to bullshit.

^ I am way ahead of you, good sir. ^_-
I won't go into details, though. The player does need to figure out some things for themselves, after all.
EDIT: Also, Tornado reduces HP to near-fatal levels, not 1 HP.

This wouldn't work. Poison and Venom can kill you.

author=LockeZMake it recover 1HP =D (1+1=2... man, maths are so useful!). And just in case, remove any altered stat that could make it to fall to 1HP again "automatically".

I'm asking the game to troll me ahahahahahaha!!
The only remotely reliable method of killing and reviving yourself to use Limit Glove at full power lies in Priscilla's Resuscitate ability which a) fails 25% of the time and b) only has a 20% chance of restoring only 1 HP.
Trust me when I say that Limit Glove's true use lies in areas that are completely optional (i.e. bonus dungeons). Enemies in these areas will commonly have much more than 9,999 HP and at that point, most of your characters will either be dealing the maximum or better (if you have the Key Item required to access the Break Damage Limit trait).
EDIT: And before anyone asks, no, Limit Glove is not affected by the Break Damage Limit trait.
