Well, I know we can do this via Battle Events, but what if we have 100+ troops?
The basic idea comes from Dragon Warrior VII. At each turn, there is a party command named "Talk
" where you can talk to any active party member (the talking actor is random for each command execution). If you execute this command too much though, battle may begin immediately after the last talk, giving no chance for you to input actor commands.
The topic to talk for each command execution may be various as follows:
- Generally talks about how to defeat the enemies. It might involve enemy weaknesses (but NOT necessarily be accurate, since it doesn't make sense if you know enemy weaknesses already) that is concluded after a few turns. For example, if Ghost constantly use Dark spells, your party members might think that Dark spells are ineffective against Ghost and you might be able to beat it using Light spells.
- Urge you to do some actions if any actor is sufferring on debuffs (bad status). For example, Arshes might ask you to revive Basil if Basis is knocked out.
- Might suggest to run if troop is too strong to fight. Again, to make sense, this might occur after a few turns if your party constantly receive huge damage and/or debuffs without dealing much damage to the battling troop.
- Random silly topics (such as "I'm hungry!").
It would be nice if we can match the topic with each actor's characteristics (pretty much as autoaccent system as I suggested before), even if it must be done manually.
Again, this is only an idea, but it would be nice if someone is challenged to do this. Or maybe someone has done this before?
