XENOSPAWN'S PROFILE

post=144666
I haven't played FFTA although I have played FFT. Assuming FFTA has a class system that's even close to as flexible that of FFT, I do think both it and the free roaming nature of .hack//Infection may compliment each other.

One effect of the free roaming nature is that the player can pick a stage with as easy or hard opponents as he wants. With a flexible class system, there will be a large difference in power between two players even if they are at similar levels. The player with a more powerful class combination can now simple pick a harder stage if he wants to maintain challenge. Picking dungeons with higher level enemies will also level that player up faster, so someone who has already beaten the game once will be able to go trough it much faster the second time which I think is a good thing.

The side effect is that you have no control over how powerful the player will be at a certain point of the game. Most RPGs allows you to build your characters so strong you will just wreck any opposition. They do nevertheless have brakes such as increasing exp requirements and not making all equipment available at once. No such brakes will exist in your game. It's entirely up to the player. The question is, do you consider that a problem?
