Introductionby Crystal Noel
This is collection of three scripts which add some GF functionality to RPG Maker VX Ace. What's a GF, you ask? In Final Fantasy VIII the summon monsters had some additional features that previous titles did not have. In previous games summons would merely show up and attack. In Final Fantasy VIII they would still do that, but they had to Junctioned to a character for that character to summon them. When Juntioned GFs would give benefits to the summoner. The summoner would gain all the skills that the GF knows (although in F8 they were either commands of passive abilities). GFs could learn more skills by Junctioning. They would gain AP through battle similarly to how actors gain EXP. Each skill takes, a certain amount of AP to be learned and are learned one at a time. Once the skill is learned the game starts on a new skill. With the GF menu the skill that is being learned can be changed at any time. GFs also level up by gaining EXP when the summoner gain EXP.
Features
- Can see which actor each GF is Junctioned to.
- Fits perfectly into the menu layout of the default engine

FAQ
Q: Doesn't Yami already have a script like this?
A: Yes, he does, but it lacks the GF Skill learning. His script teaches the skill to actor not the summon.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
