Dragon Quest Battle System

[ablahblah987]

I can't ask somebody to make me a Dragon Quest battle system, but I was wondering if anyone had one already by chance or had something like it that I could work with. Re-creating the exact look of Dragon Quest 8 is probably impossible but here's a Jap screenshot: http://www.rpgamer.com/games/dq/dq8/screens/dq8183.jpg
Thanks

I waited for this one to, but you didnt explain it.
Well the battle system as I know it is a regular except with one add-on..... i forget the name but it highers tension( highers power, and it has about 4 stages and at the fourth stage the character changes to a super saiyen looking mode, or has a glow, and their power is 4x that to begin with for just one attack though) and thats pretty much all I remember from it, also certain monsters can do the same.

I can make the description better if needed.

Yeah I guess I didn't explain enough. Thanks for offering to describe more. I would have described it more but I guess I figured it was pretty basic. I forgot about the tension system, but other than a different battle algorithm and a differently positioned battle menu it's essentially the same as the default bs.

Ok, if I explain then maybe I'll get some help. Basically I just want to move around the menus of the default battle system. It shouldn't be that hard I think/hope. Here are two pics:

Ideally I would also change want to change the battle damage algorithm to the real Dragon Quest one which is something like this:
(attack power - [defense/2])/2 = maximum damage (at least 2)
(attack power - [defense/2])/4 = minimum damage (at least 1)
I'm not sure how hard that would be...
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps with this.

Well I've just about finishing the menus on my own anyway. I might actually be able to finish this on my own. After I finish with the damage algorithm I will have a Dragon Quest battle system without the tension system.

Any chance we can see the menus you did?
