DQ Style Battle
Jamiras843 

Introduction
[SIZE=12.222222328186035px]This script slightly alters the battle screen to make it similar to the DQ series.  The battle system is pretty simplistic but incompatible with a lot of other scripts; I don't know why, I'm not good enough to figure it out.[/SIZE]

Features
V1.00

• Dragon Quest VIII style battle 
• Limited options to have list style Status or block style
• Face graphics optional
• Level Up option available for sound.
