If you clicked on this thread hoping to find the hack already completed and ready for some Beta Testing, you are bound to be disappointed because, quite frankly, I've only just begun. So why start the thread now, you ask? Ideas, my friends. Any suggestions are welcome, although there is no promise that I will use the ideas in the creation of the hack. I started it this morning and have gone through the Weapons in the game. How is this exciting? Instead of having several jobs with access to about 3 different weapons during the game while the Fighter has 20 swords plus 5 axes, I've taken the 40 total weapons in the game and readjusted EVERYTHING! Black Belts no longer have any weapons available, and their beginning stats will be adjusted so that their "useless" period is minimal, which then leaves me 40 slots for 5 classes. 8 weapons each, sounds good doesn't it?

Fighter/Knight uses the Axes, which are powerful but low on accuracy. Thief/Ninja uses the Daggers, which are weak but VERY accurate. Red Mage/Red Wizard uses the Swords, which are both powerful and accurate, but lag behind the Axes in power and Daggers in accuracy. The White Mage/White Wizard uses the Hammers, which are slightly weaker and less accurate than the Swords. The Black Mage/Black Wizard uses Staves, which are worst in both accuracy and in power, but all of which (except the Wooden Staff) have special powers to use.

In order to offset the lower stats of the Daggers, they are half the price of all the other weapons, making the Thief a little more appealing in that aspect. I also intend to make their hit growth faster than the others, so that they start doing 4-5 hits before anyone except the Black Belt. More hits = more damage, after all.
