quote:Stealing from enemies will often net you multiple powerful items, and it’s easy to farm materials once you know what you’re looking for. You then take those materials, add any Gil from combat you’ve converted to more materials, convert them into weapon boosts and Aeon abilities as necessary, and use the rest on the battlefield or with Rikku’s Mix – in other words, it’s a complete (if rudimentary) crafting system, one of the earliest I’m aware of. It’s probably far from the first, but I haven’t been able to find any history or chronology of crafting systems on the Internet, so I’m going to assume FFX invented letting players turn goods into products because it’s that great. I know that Final Fantasy IX had a synthesis system, where you could make weapons, armors and accessories out of items (usually combinations of other weapons, accessories, etc.), and it was kinda important since in FF IX characters learned their abilities and spells from equipment (short answer, you fight with certain equipment for a while and can eventually permanently gain access to certain abilities). However, from what I've seen of FF X from lets plays and so on, its crafting system is much more extensive and intertwined with the characters' growth (especially with the Aeons and the equipment). I don't know if or how many other games use their crafting systems this way. P.S. I don't know how to put the top paragraph (it's basically the largest paragraph in the latest post edited down to the relevant point) in a quote box or whatever it's called, I tried searching online and found nothing helpful. If anyone can tell me how, please let me know. Edit: Learned how to make the box @ultrafilter. I did use the quote button the first time, but the quote/quote markers were deleted during editing, which I didn't spot the first time around. It was easier to spot when quoting from a smaller post. comicfan92 fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Apr 19, 2021 |
