Final Fantasy XIII's Scrapped Early Battle System

Hello HBGames.org Community,

As you assume I have request of battle system that was "originally" intended to be featured in Final Fantasy XIII with no name (but I call it "Points Synergy Battle").

The battle screen looks like this (CAUTION: Big Image Ahead!):

Spoiler: Screenshot of wanted Battle System in action

Systems Explanation

• Battles are conducted on battle screen (Tankentai, Melody, you get the picture, right?), and only one character can fight (eventually there can be a "Choose Character For The Fight" or something like this).
• Lower left is ability lists, each with their own cost (MP to be used).
• The "Information" logbox is called "INFO" or "HELP" and next to it is ability's description (even 'Attack", "Guard", and "Item" have ones, along with MP cost).
• Each character starts with one ATB gauge segment and can have up to five of them (added via script call).
• Stats: HP is placed in the same place like in the provided screenshot capable to store five digits (when HP is full it gets green color); MP is assigned to ATB, max is 9,999 (the most important thing is that charge time is never more than 10.00 seconds). AGI determines speed of charging the ATB - 99 AGI charges ATB bar fastest. (I'm thinking of [AGI/# of frames] algorithms or something like that.)
• There is no additional popup like "NORMAL".
• Name in the same position. Each character's name can be written in different font.
• Area Of Effect spells are welcome.

I don't have any idea for a thingie from top right corner.
If something else will come on my mind I'll update the thread.

I'm looking forward for answers and support.

P.S.: Scripters, don't be afraid to cooperate with each other.
P.S. 2: I think this battle system slightly resembles the Dissidia's one.

I don't understand. How is this battle system different than the original FFXIII Battle System?

 

[Kaimi]

It doesn't use paradigms, utilizes one playable person in battle (guest would also suffice), abilities can be chained... And this is for VX (I hope thread's icon is enough but saying it to make you sure). You could write some script and send me and I'd told you what could be added and chained. Is that okay?

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

Actually, I hadn't noticed the VX icon! It's kind of funny since I don't even have RMVX installed in my PC. >:3
Sorry! By the way, I finally finished and released that FFXII License Board script, but it's for RMXP.

Alright, no worries.
