Final Fantasy Discovery

Apologies are in order for the lack of tangible updates here on RMN lately concerning this project. Sorry! One of the battle scripts that I updated to its newest version is just wreaking havoc on the game, so I'm hoping to work with the author on isolating the problem and fixing it. Beyond that, though, I've still been adding new functions that I've tested in a second project to make sure they work. Hopefully that will be ironed out soon and I can show off some new battle screens.

Game Updates

Battle System

• Ellie's Restore command has been replaced with Call.
• Characters can now equip Nethicite to gain access to summon spells. Summons may be used once per battle, per character.
  
• Ellie is the only character who can bypass the summon limitations.
  
• States can now toggle other states on and off, and vice versa. States such as Slow/Haste, and Sadness/Hyper are a few examples of this.
  
• Two new Aeons have been added. Bahamut Fury is a Nethicite-only Aeon, and Gilgamesh has been added as a Call-only Aeon for Ellie.
  
• Characters can only equip one piece of Materia. Previously, two pieces were allowed to be equipped. Their remaining equipment slot has been replaced with Nethicite.
  
• Limit Breaks now replace the Attack command when a character has a full Limit Break meter.
  
• Counter Limit skills have been added for a few characters, such as Beclem. Counter Limit skills automatically activate 50% of the time when attacked, as long as the character has 25% or more of their Limit Break meter filled. Counter Limit skills reduce the Limit Meter when activated by 25%.

Game Systems

• Milestones have been added to the game (i.e. Achievements).
• Synthesis shops have been added to the game (crafting weapons out of items).
  
• Characters can jump, drop down ledges and climb in certain areas while exploring dungeons to add more versatility to dungeons.
  
• There are now a total of five methods of transportation throughout the game: Walking, Yellow Chocobo (Plains/River), Green Chocobo (Plains/Mountain), Ship (Ocean), and Airship (Air).

The Call Command, Aeons Updates & Nethicite Explained
This command works much like Summon does, with some minor differences. Ellie can use the Call command as many times as she wants in battle, but she can only call Aeons that she permanently earns. Ellie is able to exclusively summon a few of the Aeons in the game that are unavailable to other characters. Any Aeon that is earned via equipping Nethicite can only be summoned once per battle via the Summon command.

Announcements

• The game has been given an official title. Henceforth, The "Pulse" Project is known as Final Fantasy: Discovery.
• The unnamed main character previously known only as "Pulse" has been given an official name: Cid.
