I'd love to make an FFT re-balance patch since I'm not totally satisfied with the ones we got. Far as I can tell, giving FFT the 5 races of FFTA is impossible, but separating male and female jobs is by making the "bard" and "dancer" classes requirements for everything else. FFT sprites can largely be re-purposed for the patch. Jobs where the male/female look very different, can be used to create two new jobs. ie Male Ninja = Ninja, Female Ninja = Sniper. Just moving sprites around instead of making new ones. Just at the brainstorming phase and haven't tested anything out.

Basics:

>PSP version as basis
>slowdown removal patch
>Jobs based on FFTA versions
>some ideas from other balance patches
>aiming for balance (some battles harder, some easier)
>has to work on real hardware
>reduce the knight/archer/ dominance in story battles
>KISS
>thematically keep true to the series without going fan fic-y.
>very provisional and subject to change

Some problems:

>some nice units don't have good sprites to use (Templar, Gladiator, Arcanist, Seer, Red Mage)
>have to cut jobs I like due to space (Beast master, Master Monk, Trickster, Seer)
>Not sure what to do with Onion Knights and Dark Knights

What should be done with special units?
