Heyo! Working on a 'materia-lite' type system, this is the fruits of a couple hours labor. I think default 2k3 combat can really lack a lot of spice, so this is an attempt to remedy that with what I have available in the vanilla systems. Please ignore the obvious placeholder stuff, hehe! Some dev notes:

You have upper and lower slots, determined by the diamond icon next to the charm. In the demo release this will be a custom icon. Some charms are only available in specific slots.

Added the potential of even more Team Techs via charms with Speedbreaker, which gives the entire party a flat speed buff for several turns.

The tech bar has now been changed to only move when Skills are used, not defending. I think it still fills up via turns passing occasionally, but I wanna remove that.

If you stack two of the same type of charm (Flame/Flame for example) you can get an upgraded version of that move. I plan to do more with this and being able to permanently upgrade your charms.

Heyo!! Here’s a little sneak peak of Astra’s overworld ability - her Spinning Tackle!! (not actually the name unless I get attached (I can’t call it a spindash))

It’s basic utility is zooming through rooms, but it can also cross narrow gaps by grinding on things like pipes or rails! Dangerous, sure, but when has Astra been concerned with safety? It even lets you bypass enemies!

See, the catch is, you absolutely cannot control your direction once you start going. You’ll have to slam into something before you can even think of stopping. Incredible speed for an incredible loss of control…
