I've been wanting this for a while now, but my knowledge of computers is very limited, so by the time I figured out how to do this myself, I'd be dead. So I shall ask one of you peoples.
Would it be at all possible to change around the materia system? I've always wanted it to be more traditional, though I do like the idea of materia. So I came up with this idea.
Instead of having the materia learn the skill or spell or whatever, have the individual person learn it, along with the materias bonuses and penalties of course. For example, you put a Fire materia on Red, and lo and behold! a couple thousand AP later he can cast Fire without having the materia equipped, though the stat changes are permanent. I personally think that this system falls more in line with how the FF series has flowed in the past, and will also improve both the storyline (it would make the characters much more individualized, while still leaving them very customizeable), and gameplay (not everyone can do everything, and sources and other stat increasing items and equipment become more of a necissity rather than a bonus).
Like I said, I don't even know if this is possible or not, and if it is I am sure it would require a lot of work, but I would appreciate anyone who is willing to give it a shot. I am more than willing to render any help possible, but, again as I said, I'm not too great with computers.
