well... in not that confusing, i bet that i expained it bad. i used the final fantasy magic system a exemple becouse i thinked that in that way whould be more easy to understand, but it have the oposite efect
. now i gonna explain in in the way that it will be made.
well... ( make a deep breath) were we go again.
2)elemental based slots.
SUN.........MOON.........STAR[SLOT]......[SLOT].......[SLOT][SLOT]......[SLOT].......[SLOT][SLOT]......[SLOT].......[SLOT]
there gifts of all three magics types
when you put a gift in on it correspondent elemental slot you get a strong magic, since you get the elemental strength x2 ( the element of the gift and the element of the slot)
when you put a gift on it antagonist elemental you get a weak magic, since you get the elemental power of you magic weaken by the slot elemental power.
and you put the magic in the elemental that is not the antagonist and not the correspondent you get a medium magic since the the elemental of the slot don´t affect the elemental of the gift( so elemental x 1)
get it this time?? is not so hard, is me that cannot explain the things well
( you should see the war that is when i try to teach my mom how use the computer
)
and is not only put the gift in the slot and you can use the magic. you most after get the gift learn the magics that the gift can make, and the stronger magics far more dificult( and take longer to learn) that the weak magics
my doubt is. the first system is easier to understand, but not only simlar of the 80% the games in the market but also bring a problem like happened with crono cross, in the middle of the game the player will not have acess to many powerfull gifts yet, so the best that he can do is put his best gifts in the 3lv slots( the slots numbers will increase during the game but i can´t give the player 50 lv3 slots, becuse when he get the more powerfull gifts he will become a god
)
but the 2nd system solves it well, in the middle of the game he don´t need to have powerfull gifts yet since he can put most of it in the slots that will give him the best spells, but it is also a problem since a skiled player can make their caracters become a god in the end of the game( like happens with FF7 and 8 )
that´s why i´m asking for help
( whoa this was my longest post ever
)
