Lemme throw out what we have so far, for the interested:

[list][*]The plot will definitely different from Adachi's so we're not stealing anyone's ideas. Might end up similar, but we're still working on that one right now.
[*]Classes and progression is a thing, along with the laguz, taguel, and manaketes being playable races (taguel are just fluffed laguz, for those who care). Custom class creation is also a thing, with players being assigned so many points to put in so many skills and choosing 2 weapon proficiencies of any type and then a class feature. We'll have some default classes showcased to help y'all see that in action.
[*]We'll have a separate Interest Check when we get the mechanics and plot down to see who still wants to play with all that we've changed.[/list]

I also wanted to pop in and take suggestions for what people wanted to see regarding general overall feel of the story (dark and depressing, high adventure, gritty war, whatever), just whatever people feel like doing or experiencing in this RP.
