Final Fantasy Discovery

As part of the overhaul on the game's equipment, I've decided to adopt the system seen in Final Fantasy X where weapons and armor have effects attached to them. However, unlike Final Fantasy X, the player will not be able to create new effects and add them to weapons (although that would certainly be possible with some clever usage of Victor Sant's Materia System script).

Most of the weapon effects that were previously present will remain right where they are, I've just given them names and set limitations on them to make it easier on myself while re-coding the gear.

You can expect to see effect listings on the equipment screen, allowing you to choose which weapons and armor will best suit the situation at hand. Most of the effect names are directly lifted from their source game, so it should all feel pretty familiar.

Just to give an example, for the Punisher (Rod), instead of giving it a long description explaining it's special effects, you'll simply see the effect name, such as:

Effect
Attack Power +5%, Critical Plus

In-game help files explain what each effect does in further detail.

So far, I've reprogrammed Daggers, Swords, Knight Swords, Katanas, Lances, and Rods. I still have Staves, Bows, Claws, Hammers, Darts, and Guns remaining. All armor has already been reprogrammed.
