#later on they ofc shift their playstyle completely but for most of the initial journey that was their role and playstyle | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Why would I draw or further flesh out the other members of Chou's party when I can instead think abt how all of them play in game and spiral out into making up a shit ton of other game mechanics that do not matter to the actual story

#rat rambles #stars posting #this is my new favorite playground I need large stick lady to cast spell of hit you really hard #well ok shes more of a defensive unit in my minds eye but she will also hit things with her big stick #I do imagine her as the type of character that Can do some mad dps but shed be an extremely selfish dps unit which doesnt work well with #the rest of the party since most of them are quite frail #her damage scales off of her shields which scale off of her hp which means that to do her max damage shed need to not be hit oftem #which goes against most of the rest of her kit as shes mostly about taunting enemies and intercepting attacks with some parry abilities #so generally shes a unit that wants to get hit but can also do good damage if you need to take a more aggressive route with a fight #the other girl is the local multihit gambler queen who is also the speedy speedster of the party #shes a much more selfish unit with basically only attacking abilities #she can do pretty good damage if youre willing to get her buffs set up but she rly starts to shine once she gets access to equipment that #lets her hit more times and abilities that can raise her own stats or lower enemy stats #chou is more of a commander type character here if that makes sense? theyre mostly about buffing allies and turn juggling #they have like 3 abilities that allow them to give away their turn each buffing different stats #later on they ofc shift their playstyle completely but for most of the initial journey that was their role and playstyle #aaand Im still working out the other two because Im not sure if I want the party to have a proper healer or not #because on the one hand chou and the girl™ are both rather frail to start off with so they'd appreciate a healer but on the other hand they #already have big stick girl and I feel like giving them a healer would make this hypothetical game too easy #so Im thinking maybe a more stable dps unit like odile is? one who has access to all craft types early on and can consistently do damage #and for the kid Im imagining them as having a similar role to bonnie but a bit more reliable but also less impactful #as in you can actually tell them what to do but they take a while to charge their action after you tell them what to do and they have less #that they can do with them mostly managing excess items #oh important context Im imagining a item pouch system here where party members each have to carry their own items into battle and can only #carry a couple at a time so you have to fill your item slots wisely and be careful how you use your items in battle #and theres also a bunch of other miscellaneous mechanics I imagine being around too but its mostly typical rpg stuff #look its my au I can make a fake video game of it in my head if I want to #anyways I time to crash gn gamers
