FFVI: Alternate History

Ok, so, here's what I think on some subjects. I can't really see Umaro as a monk, or anything like that... What if we just scrapped him altogether, and changed him to a new class? I think a beast tamer would be nice. I dont think you'd even REALLY need to change his sprites. He's kind of a beast, so I think it'd stand to reason that he could convince other monsters to help. As for a ranger, I'm not sure thats entirely necessary. Ranger was mostly a way to attack back row, physically, and multiple times. Thats more easily done through relics now. However, based on the FF6 General Leo hack, how about someone who's a powerhouse swordsman, that has access to things like Illumina, Atma Weapon, Ragnarok, etc? While there are physically oriented characters, they don't have much use for the stuff. The only one who comes to mind, is Locke. And he's more speedy, than strong. I think Edgar can use them too, but he has tools he can rely on.

Oh, also, as for the Banon/Duncan thing, while it's not inheritantly stated, I think it's obvious that they aren't the same... Duncan comes off as a serious, super strong, martial arts master... Banon is a weak old man who can't protect himself from a squid, or even a couple soldiers. I think they just re-used his sprite, because of limitations. However, if you REALLY wanna get creative with it... Maybe it COULD be the same person, and Banon just has a split personality disorder. One, as a frail, weakly leader. The other, a courageous, strong Martial Arts MAster. And neither personality has any idea the other exists, leading to some confusing blackouts for him. lol.

Now, as for the Maduin thing... I'm not sure he gave HIS memories to her... but just unlocked her own. I think the Espers have a kind of... Hive-Mind thing going on. They all seem to know what each other is feeling, and thinking. The espers who escaped to help their friends in Thamasa, they knew exactly where to go, and what was happening, sort of. Ifrit and Shiva knew that Ramuh had lent his power to your party. Sure, they could have deduced that, but I think a Hive-Mind thing sounds cooler. So rather than Terra just getting Maduins memories.. I like to think of it as she can now tap into that Hive-Mind, something she couldn't do, until her fathers power unlocked hers.
