Mod Ideas For Improving The Game (General Mod Discussion?)

[PT]

I'd firstly like to say that I've been enjoying this game a lot, however, I feel there that if an experienced group of modders were able to work their heads around the game's coding they could improve certain parts of the game and make it a more enjoyable/all-round better experience. I've broken my ideas down into seperate categoreis. Feel free to contribute?

Settings menu:
- Support for more aspect ratios/resolutions.
- In-game anti-aliasing options(anti-aliasing can be turned on from the game's ini file).
- An option to change the values of the FPS limiter in the settings menu.

Battle System:
- More clarity on what each attack does.
- Find a way to subtitle what characters say when in battle.

Graphics:
- High definition sprites (that one's a no brainer, although a very difficult under-taking)
- Higher resolution textures.
- ^ Make both so they better match the anime theme of the character art.

Sound: The sound in the game is good, but the battle theme can get repetitive:
- Edit code so battle theme isn't the same every time.
- Add more tracks to the game based on the same themes, styles and melodic ideas.

Town menus: This needs a lot of work:
- Each guild needs much more information provided on how the player goes about
each task.
- Rework shop UI so all details are listed without the press of a button.
- Perhaps add another section to the town menu that allows players to go over tutorials
or read more into each part of the game.

Other possible changes:
- Either remove the turn limit for the true end, or display it on the map at all times and clearly explain what it is.
- ^ Could also allow all three alignments to get the true ending ( It's not like they affect much, if anything, outside that anyway)
- On that note, possibly add actual depth to the alignment "system".
- Maybe a shader mod to go a long with the graphics.

TL:DR: Make eveyrthing clearer inside and outside of battle. General graphics enhancements because why not.

Please share your ideas that I haven't mentioned/ build upon what I have listed :)

Simply..someone pls make new game from scratch:)
I think is very hard modify something in this game. I dont have problem with current game, i play lot a JRPG on consoles without moding. But maybe one thing..remove borders in screen with 16:10 resolutions...hehe.. impossible:)

You've got a snowball in hell's chance of getting mods for this game, or any JRPG really. Sprite based games especially would require to much work.

There's no denying that this would be an incredibly difficult undertaking. But there's always that one person that finds a way lol

I don't see a point for High-res textures, but HD sprites would be good, although i can't see this happening as it take alot of trouble to redo the sprites.

Indeed. I'd love to think that a group of people who love the game could band together and come up with ways to improve the game. Hell, I'd sign up for making more music for the game if it was both doable and wanted.

Some "HD" textures and AA would make me really happy I must say, don't need anything else really.

on the more realistic end of the spectrum:

modifying guns spears and breakers with slightly better stats and giving them skill slots, the early versions of these weapons kinda suck
