Every five months or so I have a new implementation I want to try. The first one was mildly interesting, the second very successful, the third broken to shreds. This one has some potential, I think.First of all, my problem has never been with actually writing a stand-alone class. That much I can pull together in 2-8 hours depending. My issue is always with the association and implentation of the the relationships between multiple classes. This time I've started with that relationship, and so-far it looks fairly strong.The chart below details how I'm seeing the classes being related right now. I'm looking for comments on this. The six light colored squares at the center of the structure are the "core" classes. The dark adjacent squares are called "promotion" classes. A promotion class is a class a character can join when they reach a certain level in an associated core class. The closer a promotion class is to a core class, the easier it is to join that promotion class from the core class, however, no character is forced to move into a promotion class. The white squares on the outside of the construct are the prestige classes, which can be achieved from any path. Though they can be achieved from any path, the nearest advanced/core classes are the easiest method to reach these classes.A couple questions I ask anyone familiar with FF 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and T are 1) Does this cover every FF character archetype? 2) Do these relationships and class types proper?Here is the literal breakdown:Core ClassesBlack MageMonkRed MageThiefWarriorWhite MagePromotion Classes-> = Easy Promotion (Almost Automatic)->-> = Simple Promotion (Some Requirements)->->-> = Difficult Promotion (Many Requirements/High Level Requirements)Black Mage -> Wizard (Black Wizard)Black Mage ->-> Blue MageBlack Mage ->->-> ChemistMonk -> MasterRed Mage -> Red WizardRed Mage ->-> Blue MageRed Mage ->-> ChemistThief -> Hunter (Archer)Warrior -> KnightWhite Mage -> Priest (White Wizard)White Mage ->-> ChemistWhite Mage ->->-> Blue MagePrestige ClassesBardBerserkerDancerDark KnightDragoonEngineerGeomancerLoremasterMaster CrafterMediatorMonsterkinMystic KnightNinjaOraclePaladinSageSamuraiShamanSummonerSummonkinTime MageWarlock</blockquote>
