(Post from SoE:Arc Arath)

Okay... I have to post this so I can't back down later.

I've been thinking about those TAKE videos alot lately. And I've come to believe that if he can do it, so can I.

I'm going to attempt a custom screen or two.

Here's the concept:

In the game, we have a reason to have 8 playable characters with us. They will spit into 2 groups of 4. The dungeon will be somewhat like the final area in FFVI in the sense that you need to hit buttons to allow the opposite party to procceed.

At the end of said dungeon, you will run into a boss... or more like a group of them. 5 to be exact. (there will be two fights, on aginst 3 and another aginst the last 2)

What I want to do is make a custom screen of all 8 people. And let you select the the first 4 people you want to use to fight, and go through the first fight. After that fight, go back to the custom menu and gray out the people you already used and let you select the order for that last 4.

I want to have the 8 people standing in a circle in the middle of the screen and you use the left and right arrows of the D-pad to scroll through the circle.

I've done alot of switch work on paper, and I still have alot more to do... but it's going to be a while before I get there.

As of now, Arc Arath is proceeding to scheduel at 60%. For now will will still make the Summer of 2008 deadline.

Team L & E, GO!

Nice new team banner, by the way.

That sounds awesome Lantis!

I think I may try something similar, as in making a custom screen.

Thanks guys... Hold me to it.

Maybe once I finish it, I'll make a little demo that includes it...

Yesno?

Oh, btw... I'll have a custom menu some time before the one previously mentioned. It won't be as indepth as the second one... so this will be sort of a warm up.

A party of 4 will be split, and you have to pick which party member to follow. After each section with a character is finished, it will go back to the menu with the character grayed out. If anything, it's good practise.
