Final Fantasy Discovery

So, I got around to updating a lot of the scripts used in this project this week, in between ripping graphics.

Formerly, if an enemy and actor both had Reflect states applied to them, and used a magic skill on the other, an endless loop occurred. It was the same for counter-attacks. That's been fixed now after a script update was applied.

The Red Magic spell Mini now functions more closely to it's original incarnation, as in, casting it on someone who is already afflicted with Mini will cure them of the state. The same applies to the Red Magic spells Sadness and Fury and the White Magic spell Float.

A series of Relics that already existed in the game now function properly, adding states to the character equipped with them under certain conditions (most of which are HP<25%). Players may remember one of them being called the Czarina Ring in Final Fantasy VI, which auto-applied Shell when the character's HP fell below 25%.

That's all for bugfixes and script updates (although now that the Auction House is complete, I should have something pretty sweet to show soon for the next script project).

Now I bring a question: should Ellie remain as a Summoner and the lone actor in the game who can use summons, or should summons be converted to equippable items (one per character) that can be used by anyone in battle once acquired (think Final Fantasy 6 Espers)?

Both systems work well, but the series itself seemed to think that multiple users of summons in their games were the way to go. I am not so sure. What do you think?

I can say this, if they were changed to accommodate multiple characters being able to summon Aeons, then I would most likely remove one Materia slot for stat boosting and have equipment sets like so:

Weapon / Shield / Helmet / Armor / Relic / Relic / Materia / Aeon

Thoughts?
