FF Tactics Anime

EarthCurrent · Post by **EarthCurrent** » Tue Mar 18, 2003 6:23 pm

Okay, I am developing a new AMV based around Final Fantasy Tactics. However, I need ideas about anime characters that can represent the various classes in the game. Here are the classes I need ideas for, along with some of the characters I have thought of possibly using. In the tradition of FF Tactics, I need both a male and female character for each class, but I really want to avoid using characters from the same anime if possible--But this may not be possible.

Squire
Training day & night to become good fighter, they aren't to useful in the beginning. But remember, everything takes time.
Male: Parn (Record of Lodoss War)
Female: Hikaru (Magic Knight Rayearth)

Chemist
Attacks with a wide variety of various items. A very valuable party member, especially for backup.
Male: ???
Female: Kohran (Sakura Wars)

Knight
Physically and spiritually strong, they learn powerful new techniques by mastering sword skills!

Immitating flying dragons, these knights created a unique way of fighting. Skilled with spears, jump attacks and defense.

Samurai
Expert swordsmen who train to master their fear. The "Katana" sword from the far east brings out his potential.
Male: Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)

Wow...

Good luck, man.

If I think of anything, I'll be sure to tell you. I'd love to see this turn out well.

But no Dancer, Bard, or Mime?

Hmm... what about Pai from 3x3 Eyes for White Mage? It's a stretch, though. Heh, my first thought was Deedlit but you're already using two from Record of Lodoss War.

Well...they aren't introduced as classes in the game's intro video...so I don't want to use them.

Mmm...yeah Belldandy would be good for a White Mage type...

I'm forseeing problems finding Time Mage type characters...
Anyone think of characters stopping time in an anime?

Yeah I was thinking about that...

I figure you can just make it look like they stop time. With a little editing, it's not too tough. Use some dominatingly powerful character like Akira and show crazy editing stuff. But they also did stuff like Meteor.

And Demi.

As far as editing goes, mask a person making some motion (like raising their arms) and place some action in the back ground. Then just slow the background.

I think there was something of the time sort in an episode or 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh, but it was a cartoony looking clock thing.
