Actually, ALL attack powers scale directly with level, due to the +1/2 level attack bonus. What the levels of powers represents is more like the spells slot levels of 3.x, but referred to as the level you get them at, and with smaller jumps in power.

Actually I've been fiddling around with a FF/4e system myself, the little write up I did was more or less drawn from from that. And Kamikaze Midget has his own little FFZ project.... I wonder how many FF inspired games are going to come out of the woodwork? This promises to be interesting...

Hmm... That was fun :)

I thought I was paying enough attention, but I've somehow missed these. Thanks!

Off gray on black seems a little awkward, especially with the basic attack one. I can't really see the outer circle on that. Maybe it would look better if I used the enworld skin with the black background, but a little more contrast would make all the difference. I vote for these, it works well...

Hmm, I don't really consider the details of the mechanics like that important to port over, but Final Fantasy powers are a fair bit simpler than D&D so it does fit. The only other option is to make powers more complicated than they need to be. And a little known fact: FF6 has some magical...

Interesting. I wonder how that will compare to 4e resistances. Are you still using the F/R/W defenses, though? A little more rolling, but no additional bookkeeping. Just enough to allow for the delay mechanic, yes? Is this only in reference to strength, or frequency? I can see limits as simply...

As always, an interesting blend of D&D and videogame elements, and now 4e makes it even more interesting. Some questions (which you don't have to answer ;)): -Are Vitality, Luck and Spirit just renamed Fortitude, Reflex and Will? -Still using an incremental initiative, instead of round based...

I don't know, I really can't see Cetra and Al Bhed as anything but humans plus some flavor text and appropriate skills. Works either way though, and the abilities don't look bad. I remember moogles usually didn't fly, or only a few did. Sounds like something they would have to take a path...

Marking isn't the same as being acting coolly tactical, it can be no more than targeting one foe for the barbarians full fury. Some kind of pinning mark, where the barbarian is toe to toe with the marked target and if it moves away or targets anyone else he gets his head caved in, sounds rather...

I agree that the build options will take the form of totems. I also expect each will effect rage in some way, either by modifiers (bear giving more damage and cat more accuracy?) triggering (if rage is not at will) or secondary effects (boar adding push+follow, as per your idea). However, I'm...

Interesting... some thoughts: I think rage will have a little less added damage, but also be more flexible and work more often. I'm not sure if it will be necessarily tied to marking, but it probably will work with barbarian marks and other powers. But they still need to have effects outside...

Ah I see, I haven't read that firsthand yet. Thanks. And I for one like this change, because the idea of tired, drowsy, yawning skeletons makes me giggle. :)

Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention, but where did this info come from? This is the first time I've seen the term "animus" come up concerning 4e.

We have no idea if 2 encounters is a definite rule or a suggestion. Personally I would grant it when some kind of greater achievement is fulfilled such as fighting though a certain area or a wave of enemies.

Here's what I'm thinking would be the best way they can do this: Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies won't have an automatic effect, but instead open up a specialized set of abilities. So perhaps a Spellstorm Mage is can learn magics related to the weather, and specialize in attacking with...

Sounds like extensions of the class "build" options. I expect at best a lot of renaming or just plain ignoring of these terms in play, regardless of how significant the mechanics are.

I think there's a fair balance between one daily power that will connect eventually, and another that will have some effect no matter what.

To be fair, this is an out of character conversation, but with a bit of roleplay and creativity it can fit well enough in character. Warlord Character: "Hold a moment! What do you mean to do, simply charge in like a fool? Other Character: "That beast there, he seems the hungriest, I shall feed...

We have quite of bit of 4e stuff to work with now, how goes the killing and looting thereof? :)
