Final Fantasy: Discovery Development Updates
September 23, 2012

Today I'm continuing to focus on character abilities. I'd like each character to fill their role, but also be a viable choice at any time as much as possible. This required me to re-balance a lot of character abilities. Starting off today with Leon, whose Holy Arts were in need of a change, badly.

Previously, all of them dealt Holy-elemental damage and some had no actual "effect" to them, making them just progressively stronger attacks with elemental damage.

Holy Arts

• Stasis Sword: Now deals physical damage instead of Holy elemental damage and may inflict Stun.
• Climhazzard: Now adopts the element of the weapon Leon has equipped and deals damage based on Leon's remaining HP, similar to the Blue Magic ability Lifebreaker.
  
• Cross Slash: Now deals physical damage instead of Holy elemental damage.

Limit Breaks

• Holy Aura: Now adds Regen, MP Regen, and increases all parameters by 30%, up from 20%. This Limit Break ability has also become Leon's initial Limit Break, while Holy Explosion becomes his second and must be learned from a manual.

Blue Magic

• Moon Flute: Incorrectly inflicted Haste on the entire party as well as Berserk. The spell now only inflicts Berserk on the entire party and has a small chance to miss, per ally.
• Dragon Force: Now adds two stacks each of Attack Power and Magic Power buffs, rather than one.

As always, I'll be updating this blog post with any further updates I make today.
