Thwarting (or not) the end of the world/civilization.
A question gets answered (such as the main character perhaps having amnesia and trying to figure out who he/she is). Or why is the world dying? Why is the energy getting lost? Why are people behaving like retards? Why are all the newborns dying at birth? (the more ideas we come up with, the more we can choose from.
Someone learns something...
Are there story arcs for the general classes, like in FF1? Or are the story arcs going to be specific to the NPCs so the makeup of the classes and parties can be really flexible?
I know the story is not even really a zygote, but we can talk about the structure. If there are 6 Properties maybe there are 6 subplots within the larger story, where each class has a chance to shine, or the player character has a chance to put on that class for the special adventure, like the thief tower.
For example:
- I. Big Main Story
- Gyro Property based story
- 2 Handed Sword
- Two 1-Handed Shield
- Movement/Tinker
- Gambler/Dice
- Disc/Boomerang
- Life/Death
- Berskerker!
- Tree/Plants Summoner
- White Mage/Healer/Cleric
- Life Stealer/Succubus
- Animal Summoner
- Rigidity/Elasticity
- Viking
- Two Handed Shield
- Earth Mage
- Pick Pocket
- Elastic Sword
- Light/Dark
- Shadow Knight
- Paladin
- Support Mage
- Ninja
- Light Manipulator (Magician?)
- Sonic Spectrum
- Vocal / Axe Man
- Gong Shield / Drums?
- Anti-Mage / Bass / Silencer?
- Gogo Dancer / Flute?
- Bard / Guitar-Lute
- Elemental
- Water/Trident/Hydro
- Environmental Protectionist
- Black Mage (Earth/Fire)
- Arsonist!
- Wind Mage
Anyway, that's what I was thinking about on my lunch break.
Funny that you bring this up, because I was thinking a lot about it last night. I think I came up with something amazing, but I want to discuss it with you guys
