7TH SAGA: THE NEW CLASS BY NATI README
9/1/2013

This readme is a description of the changes from the
original 7th Saga to 7th Saga: The New Class.  For more
information about the original, consult my Game Mechanics
Guide on Gamefaqs.com.  You will need a ROM with a header
to use this IPS (I think).


============================================================
SUMMARY OF CHANGES

 1. Apprentices have been given new classes based on Final
    Fantasy 1 classes (plus "Robot" for Lux).
    a. Class names have replaced race names in the character
       select screen at the beginning of a new game.
    b. Character stats and stat increases at level-up have
       been changed (usually increased).
    c. Spell lists have been changed, and spells are learned
       at different levels (usually sooner).
    d. Allowable equipment has generally NOT been changed.
 2. Weapons and armor are more powerful.
 3. Attack spells are more powerful; armor has higher magic
    resistance to compensate.
 4. MP cost has been lowered for some high-cost spells.
 5. Two new spells have been introduced...
    a. FLEE: escape from battle with 100% success (except
       from bosses, apprentices, and Class 1 monsters)
    b. HOLY: single-target attack spell of a new element
 6. Two spells have been removed...
    a. ELIXIR: absurdly game-breaking; replaced by HOLY
    b. LASER 3: LASER 2 is now as powerful as LASER 3 was;
       the animation for LASER 3 is now used for HOLY
 7. More monsters have weaknesses to specific elements.
 8. Monsters' Magic and Speed stats have been slightly
    decreased near the end of the game.
 9. Monsters near the end of the game give double gold and
    experience.
10. New unique equipment, one for each apprentice, is
    available as random drops from the D.Night in the last
    dungeon; other equipment was eliminated to make these.
11. Seeds can be purchased in one of the last shops, and B
    Protect can be purchased from the last shop (finally!).

Bottom Line: Apprentices have more variety and balance, and
the game can be completed at a lower level (less grinding).
If you have played my other patch, 7th Saga Redux, you will
note that changes #2-#11 above are the same as that patch;
the only difference is the new class structure (change #1).

*KAMIL		  				RedMage    *

BLZRD 1	 10	BLZRD 2	 30
HEAL 2	 12
FIRE 1	 14
PETRIFY	 15
ICE 2	 17

CLASS
-----
RedMage: Well-rounded in all areas
Changes: +1 MaxMP, +1 Magic, Fire magic switched with Ice

Summary: Now Kamil can actually make good use of his attack
magic, and is still respectable on the physical side.  He's
not colored red, unfortunately.


************************************************************
*OLVAN		  				Fighter    *
************************************************************

STATS
-----		Initial		Level-Up
MaxHP		  18		   6 
MaxMP		   3		   2 
Power		   5		   4

HEAL 1	  3
PURIFY	  8
HEAL 2	 14
F SHID	 18
PROTECT	 24
HEAL 3	 30
REVIVE1	 33

CLASS
-----
Fighter: Tough physical warrior with healing magic
Changes: +1 Power, +1 Guard, no attack magic, learns F SHID
and PROTECT instead of DEFNSE1

Summary: Olvan has been beefed up on the physical side, and
he's not going to miss his weak attack magic. Since the FF1
Knight upgrade came with healing magic, I left that.


************************************************************
*ESUNA		  				Bl.Mage    *
************************************************************

STATS
-----		Initial		Level-Up
MaxHP		  14  		   5

MPCTCHR	  7	BLZRD 2	 21
FIRE 2	  8	LASER 2	 25
DEFNSE2	  9	VACUUM2	 26

CLASS
-----
Bl.Mage: Powerful offensive mage
Changes: +1 Magic, learns Lejes' old magic set with POWER
and LASER 2 instead of F SHID and PROTECT

Summary: Esuna's been changed from a good all-around mage to
an outstanding attack-only mage.


************************************************************
*WILME		  				Bl.Belt    *
************************************************************

STATS
-----		Initial		Level-Up
MaxHP		  18		   7
MaxMP		   2		   2
Power		   7		   6

Speed		   4		   4

SPELLS   LV
-----------
FIRE 1	  5
POWER	 10
AGILITY	 16
DEFNSE1	 26

CLASS
-----
Bl.Belt: Expert in unarmed combat
Changes: +2 Power, -1 MaxHP, learns buffs instead of attack
magic

Summary: With the POWER spell, his physical attacks are
deadly. The Bl.Belt class didn't learn magic in FF1, but I
thought the stat-boosting spells would be appropriate.

Note: I gave him FIRE 1 solely so that he's more manageable
as an opponent (i.e. he won't constantly attack with fists).


************************************************************
*LUX	  					Robot      *
************************************************************

STATS
-----		Initial		Level-Up
MaxHP		  20		   8 
MaxMP		   3		   2 
Power		   5		   4

SPELLS   LV
-----------
LASER 1	  4
THNDER1	 10
DEFNSE1	 12
LASER 2	 16
THNDER2	 24

CLASS
-----
Robot: The ultimate defensive tank
Changes: +1 MaxHP, +2 Guard, +1 Magic, LASER 3 replaced by
an upgraded LASER 2, learns DEFNSE1

Summary: There are only 6 classes in FF1, so I had to come
up with this one.  He's all about defense now.


************************************************************
*VALSU		  				Wh.Mage    *
************************************************************

STATS
-----		Initial		Level-Up
MaxHP		  15		   5 
MaxMP		  10		   5 
Power		   4		   2

POWER	  8	FLEE     28
REVIVE1	  9	REVIVE2  29
AGILITY	 10	HOLY     33

CLASS
-----
Wh.Mage: Healing and support mage
Changes: +1 MaxMP, +1 Magic, learns FLEE and HOLY instead of
ICE 1 and ELIXIR

Summary: As is appropriate for a White Mage, Valsu's been
stripped of his early attack spell. In return, he has more
MP for spells and better magic defense.


************************************************************
*LEJES		  				Thief      *
************************************************************

STATS

MaxHP		  16		   5

PETRIFY	 10	F BALL	 33
AGILITY	 11
DEFNSE2	 14
F BIRD	 18
FIRE 2	 21
FLEE	 23

CLASS
-----
Thief: Master of stealth and sabotage
Changes: +1 Speed, -1 MaxMP, learns new magic set
(fire magic, indirect attack magic, AGILITY, and FLEE)

Summary: Lejes' magic has been de-emphasized in favor of
unparalleled agility. However, since the FF1 Ninja upgrade
learns attack magic, I left that.
