What do you mean by saying "skill system", names like fire, fira and firaga?

[Sephiroth rocks]

No as said above I mean like how to learn new skills like magicites in FF6, materias in FF7, etc. rather something original but not too hard to make.

[Robotam]

Okay, sorry I missed that.
Well, I don't know if this idea I have is really orginal, I've never noticed a game who has it or maybe I have but I forgot, anyways...
Let's say there are Fire, Water, Wind and Earth crystals all around the world... When you go to an fire crystal you get Fire lvl 1 and go to another and you get lvl 2 and on and on.
Or you could make 3 other elements maybe Sand, Ice and Thunder. And when you go to a crystal you get an item instead getting the skill. If you use this item you get fire lvl 1 ( if it was a fire crystal. ).
And if you combine items with eachother you can get the other elements, Sand, Ice and Thunder.
Earth and Fire= Thunder.
And like that, what do you think?

[Sephiroth rocks]

Sorry but I don't like your suggestion. First of crystals are way overused secondly Nes's making a game where you combind runes so that idea is already taken.

[Robotam]

Oh, but crystals was just an exemble.
I could try to come up with another one...

[Neslein]

Hmm... i am sorry to say Sephy, but i can't do it.
The best skill system i evolved is my own, and it took me about a little month, just to figure out in my mind how i want it!
... so coming with something completely original and not similar to anything else, is kinda hard!

If you want me to continue, i can, but i won't promise it can think of something. And even if i does, it can take ages to finnish in my mind.

BTW, Robotamīs idea is not that similar to my skill system. And, you can use something similar if you want. Take the FF games for example, there is job system in a few of them. Why not put my rune system in your game, since we are making a game serie?

EDIT: Few gramathic editings.

[Robotam]

Nothing can be total orginal.

But I have another idea!
I saw earlier that you had your own job system, the skill system could have some conncetion with the jobs.
Like if you choose the job "Dragoon" you get element "fire".
The longer you have this job equipped the effectiver is the fire element and by that way you can learn Fire lvl 1 and Fire lvl 2 and that stuff. ^^
What do you think?

[Sephiroth rocks]

That's a jobsystem like I had b4. And I don't wanna have a job system.

[Robotam]

Oh, You think I'm wasting your time or shall I try come up with a third one?

[Sephiroth rocks]

Well you could try.

[Sephiroth rocks]

I've decided to make an FF9 like skill system where you learn skills from equipment. Fortunately it's not that hard to do. Oh and new design agaan.

[Neslein]

You are changing design nearly as often as i change my story... lol...

[Sephiroth rocks]

Screen!

[Neslein]

*Sniff*
You made that panorama for me!
*sniff*

Well... you can do better. Maybe something that shows what skills that can be learned by the item?

PS. Read you god damnit mail!

[Sephiroth rocks]

1. You can see the skills and equip it when you select it. This make it a lot easier since I can just show the variable code in a message!

2. You've already sent me a PM 'bout it and I've checked my mail and replied!
