They are more then likely possible, we can do most of them, it's the tech animating and stuff is a bit more difficult.

Yeah, the animations are going to be the hardest to do... :/ Unfortunately I can't help on that very much, since I suck at spriting/coding. However, for the dual/triple techs, you can reuse a lot of current animations. Still going to be difficult, though, I'm sure... :/

And yeah, my jaw dropped when I looked at the Dojo in CTDS and realized how many need to be done to keep the pattern consistent. (Each party member except Janus has three dual techs with every other character, and a single triple tech with every party combination. I know, that's a lot. O_O;)

Glad you like them, though. :D My imagination's lost steam for now, but it'll probably be going wild tomorrow. :p

Edit: Here's another one:

Marle & Schala: Full Heal (Cure II + Heal, restores status. Animation: Marle casts Cure II on Schala, who immediately follows up with a Heal spell. Cure II sparkles fall on everyone, then the blue animation of Heal occurs.)

OK, so it's "Cure 2 + Heal = Panacaea(sp?)" right?

...No. Heals everyone for Cure II's power, PLUS it restores status... Sort of like Double Cure.

Also, here's a storyline reason for how Schala survives the Ocean Palace Disaster... (It's probably really stupid, sorry if it is. Just throwing it out there)

At the Ocean Palace, after Schala says she'll teleport you out:

[Leader of party]: No, wait! Take some energy from our pendant!

*They show the pendant to Schala*

Schala: This pendant, it looks exactly like mine...

*The screen shakes, rocks fall in places*

Schala: ...but now is not the time to inquire about such things. {line break}
Hold the pendant towards me. I'll cast the spell.

*She chants, and sparkles fly to her from the pendant. However, the screen shakes again and is tinted red*

Schala: ...Ugh! I can't control it! If I teleport you now, you might-!

Magus: Just cast the spell! We'll all die anyway if we stay here!

Schala: ...

*She chants again. Everyone's teleported out, including Schala, though the screen flashes before she is teleported out.*

Later, after Crono is revived, Gaspar adds another sidequest speech:

Gaspar: ...a woman of pure heart, tortured by an incurable illness...

If you talk to Magus after, instead of saying his normal reaction to Ozzie, he says:

Magus: A woman of pure heart... No, it couldn't be...!

*The camera shows the elder's hut in Surviving Village*

(He says his normal Ozzie speech after you do the sidequest)

If you go there, Schala will be lying down on a bed in one corner of the hut. Two Earthbound and an Enlightened One are standing near her. No music plays, instead of the normal "Corridor of Time" music.*

Marle: Schala!
Lucca: Is that...Schala?
Robo: It appears that Schala is suffering from some sort of illness.
Ayla: That Schala?
Frog: Lady Schala is here...?
Magus: I-impossible...!

*Schala opens her eyes and looks at them*

Schala: Are you...the ones from the Ocean Palace? {line break}
Or is this just another hallucination?

*The party walks toward Schala*

Schala: *cough* ...Yes, it seems you truly are there... {line break}
Thank you. Without your pendant's energy, I would have- *cough*

*Depths of the Night begins playing*

Marle: Schala...!
Lucca: She seems pretty sick...
Robo: What is this? No records of this virus in my memory banks.
Frog: What foul evil has done this!?
Ayla: What wrong?
Magus: ...Schala...

Elder: Lady Schala washed up on the shore a little while after you left. However, as soon as she came here, a terrible disease broke out... {line break}
Lady Schala's magic is the only thing that can cure the foul illness. But now, it has claimed her as well...

Schala: *cough* *cough*

*Everyone turns to Schala*

Schala: I fear for the village's safety... Without me, the disease will... *cough* ...wipe out everyone. {line break}
Please, find a way to cure the disease, I beg you...

Marle: Don't worry, we'll find a way!
Lucca: We just have to find the right antibiotic...
Robo: We will try out best.
Frog: We will save you!
Ayla: No worry!
Magus: I will do anything to save you!

If you try to leave with Magus in your party, the following dialog plays out:

Schala: Wait...

*everyone turns to face Schala. She looks at Magus.*

Schala: You...you're that prophet... *cough* {line break}
"I'll do anything to save you"... Is that what you said? Or was I just hearing things?

Magus: ... {line break}
You heard true.

Schala: Thank you, then... You seem...familiar. {line break}
Are you...? *cough* *cough*

*She looks away and closes her eyes*

Schala: No...that's impossible...

*She falls asleep*

Magus: ......

*He walks towards the party*

Magus: Let us make haste. She's depending on us.

NPC dialog in the hut:

Elder: Everyone is deeply troubled. For Lady Schala's safety, and their own. {line break}
Even with her magic, she could just barely keep the disease at bay. Without her, we're doomed...

Schala: *cough* Please...find a cure...

Earthbound: Some have fled the village in hopes of escaping the plague. I hope they'll be all right in the wilderness... {line break}
It's probably better than here, though, with this dreadful plague...

Enlightened One: This disease is terrible. It can weaken, spread, and kill with unnatural swiftness. {line break}
Not only that, but it's resistant to herbal cures and healing magic alike. Only the Lady's power is strong enough to cure the sickness. {line break}
But now, she is too weak to even stand...

(Don't know what the text for the other Earthbound should be)

(Note: The BGM for the hut is now "Depths of the Night")

In the Village Commons, there's a strange-looking boulder. An Earthbound is standing near it.

Earthbound: This boulder suddenly appeared one day. There's something strange about it...

If you examine the boulder:

[Party Leader]: Hey, I think I see something...

It shakes and moves back to reveal a hole and a ladder leading down. Everyone uses their "surprised" sprite when they see this.

Marle: This must have something to do with the source of the disease! Let's go!
Lucca: This is too suspicious to pass up an investigation. Let's go!
Robo: There's something blocking my sensors down there. We should find out what it is.
Frog: Is this where the source of the plague comes from?
Ayla: Hole strange! We go down!
Magus: I sense dark energy down there... This must be the source of the plague!

They climb down and go through a short dungeon of some sort, eventually coming to a room full of Daltonites.

*"Strange Occurrences" begins to play*

Head Daltonite: Excellent! This is good news! Soon, we will rule those fools!

Daltonite: Just make sure to sterilize Pestilence afterwards, so we'll still have some people to rule over.

Head Daltonite: Yes, of course! Don't worry!

Marle: What's going on?
Lucca: What are they talking about?
Robo: I can sense the virus here. We should be careful!
Frog: Rule...? What are they trying to do?
Ayla: What they speak of?
Magus: ...!

Daltonite: Hahaha! Yes! Schala might be impervious to head on-assaults, but with something like Pestilence, victory is assured!

*The party runs up to them. Music stops.*

Marle: How dare you...! Do you have any idea how many lives you're taking!?
Lucca: Pestilence? Is that what you call this horrid plague? Trying to control it...how foolish! We'll teach you never to try something like this again!
Robo: This virus will wipe out the entire population! Do you have any idea what you're doing?
Frog: You are the source of all this evil!?
Ayla: You make people sick!? You pay!
Magus: How dare you... You think you can take Schala's life and get away with it!? I'll destroy you!

Daltonite: I-it's them! The ones who took down Dalton!

Head Daltonite: Oh really?

*"Boss Battle 1" begins to play*

Head Daltonite: So, you're the fools who would oppose Dalton's rule? Ha! You may have defeated him then, but we're a lot stronger now! You stand no chance! {line break}
Hahaha! Crush them!

A fight with the Head Daltonite and two Expert Daltonites ensures. It uses the Boss Battle 1 theme. After the fight:

*Stop music*

Head Daltonite: Gah! No! Impossible...

*The Daltonites run to the corners of the room. The Head Daltonite falls to his knees.*

Marle: Tell us how to cure Pestilence! Now!
Lucca: Give us the antidote! Now!
Robo: We need the antidote to the virus you created. Please hand it over peacefully.
Frog: Give us the cure to that horrid plague!
Ayla: Give cure! Now!
Magus: Give us the antidote to Pestilence, and I may be persuaded to spare your worthless lives.

Head Daltonite: All right! Here's the antidote! Just don't hurt us!

*He puts a vial of liquid on a table at the back of the room.*

*"Critical Moment" begins to play*

Head Daltonite: Not that it will make any difference, ha! Pestilence has probably already taken Schala's life!

[People in party]: !

*The Daltonites flee*

Marle: We have to get back to Schala!
Lucca: I hope they were lying...
Robo: We must go back, before Schala perishes!
Frog: We have no time to pursue them... We must go back!
Ayla: Raah! Evil men! But no time for that! Save Schala!
Magus: We need to save Schala immediately! Be warned that I will not hesitate to take your lives should you get in the way!

They return to the hut. Once there...

*Critical Moment" begins to play*

Marle: We have the antidote!
Lucca: The antidote is here!
Robo: We have something that should cure Schala's illness.
Frog: This antidote should cure the plague!
Ayla: We have cure! Give to Schala!
Magus: We have the antidote... I just hope it will work.

Elder: Quickly, then! Lady Schala's life is almost completely gone!

*The party runs to Schala and gives her the antidote. She opens her eyes.*

*Stop music*

Schala: Thank you... {line break}
...!

*She sits bolt upright and green mist comes out of her mouth. She falls back down, unconscious.*

Marle: What happened to Schala!?
Lucca: What is that mist?
Robo: That mist gives me the same readings as the virus! This must be Pestilence! Be careful!
Frog: What is happening!?
Ayla: What this?
Magus: Schala!

*The mist begins to condense into a large, green, Macabre-like creature. Everyone assumes a fighting stance*

*"Boss Battle 2" begins to play*

Marle: Everyone, leave quickly! We'll deal with this!
Lucca: This is the source of the disease! Run!
Robo: There can be no doubt about it! This is Pestilence! I advise you to flee from it!
Frog: We will deal with this fiend! Run!
Ayla: This Pestilence!?
Magus: So, this is the Daltonites' foul creation... A dangerous combination of science and magic. {line break}
But no matter! I will destroy it!

*The villagers leave the hut, and a fight with Pestilence ensures. The battle uses the "Boss Battle 2" theme.*

After the battle:

*Stop music*

Marle: ...Is it gone?
Lucca: That sure was strange.
Robo: That strange creature appears to have dissipated.
Frog: Have we defeated that foul thing?
Ayla: Pestilence gone? Schala safe?
Magus: ...

Schala: Ugh...

*"Schala's Theme" begins to play*

Marle: Schala?
Lucca: Are you all right?
Robo: It appears that Pestilence's hold on Schala is gone.
Frog: Are you cured?
Ayla: Schala feel good now?
Magus: Schala...

*Schala opens her eyes and looks at them*

Schala: Yes, I feel much better now... I cannot thank you enough.

If Magus is in the party, the following dialog occurs:

*Schala looks at Magus*

Schala: And you... I realize it, now that my senses are unclouded.

*pause*

Schala: It's you, isn't it, Janus?

Magus: ... {line break}
You are mistaken. I do not know of the one you speak.

Schala: No, Janus, I know it's you...

Magus: Janus is dead! I am [Magus's name] now!

Schala: ...No, Janus is not dead. How can he be, when he is right next to me at this very moment?

Magus: ...

*Magus looks away*

Magus: ...You don't understand.

*Pause. Schala closes her eyes again.*

Schala: ...I will think about this some more. I am still a bit weak, anyway. I will rest for now.

If Magus is not in the party:

Schala: However...I am still a bit weak. I will rest for today, to get my strength back.

Resume normal dialog:

Schala: You are likely tired as well. You should rest. We will speak again in the morning.

The screen goes dark, and the usual "Good Night" jingle plays. In the morning, The party heads to the hut again. Schala is waiting for them.

(The normal "Corridor of Time" music plays)

Schala: Oh, there you are. Good morning. {line break}
Could you tell me what happened while I was ill?

Marle: Followers of Dalton created Pestilence to try and kill you. They wanted to rule the village.
Lucca: Some Daltonites -- a cult of sorts centered around Dalton -- wanted to kill you so they could rule the village.
Robo: A group consisting of followers of Dalton wished to take over the village by ending your life with Pestilence.
Frog: Some followers of that fiend Dalton wished to gain control of the village by killing you.
Ayla: Daltonites try kill you! They want rule village!
Magus: Some fools -- followers of Dalton -- were trying to end your life with that foul thing so they could rule the village. {line break}
Moronic cretins, all of them.

Schala: Really!? That is troubling... {line break}
I'm worried that they'll try to strike again. I doubt they'll give up just because one of their plans was foiled.

Marle: That's probably true...
Lucca: Yes, that's a valid point... What should we do?
Robo: My programs calculate that the Daltonites have a high chance of striking again. We should try to stop them before they have the chance to try again.
Frog: You are probably right. I am worried of what might happen if they try again, as well...
Ayla: That true. Must do something!
Magus: That is likely true. We must deal with these fools at once! I will not dare risk your life again.

Schala: We should capture them the make sure they don't try anything again. {line break}
Let's head back to their lair. Maybe they're still there. {line break}
I'll come with you. Since I'm a member of the Zealian royal family, I can use powerful magic, so I'll be able to help you apprehend the Daltonites.

*Everyone nods. The naming screen comes up, and then the party switch menu; Schala must be in the party for the next section of the sidequest.*

If you go to the Epoch with Schala in your party:

Schala: I'm afraid I can't come with you. I need to stay here to oversee the village. {line break}
Please come back soon!

*The party switch menu comes up, with Schala out of the party*

You can go down the entrance to the Daltonite Lair again, fight some Daltonites, and go to the room you fought the Head Daltonite in again, where the following scene plays:

*"Strange Occurences" begins to play*

Head Daltonite: Yes, excellent. I'll follow your advice right away. This plan is sure to succeed!

Voice: Yes, good. I must go back to Headquarters now. {line break}
Carry out the plan immediately!

Marle: What was that? It didn't sound like a Daltonite...
Lucca: That voice doesn't sound like a Daltonite...strange...
Robo: My vision sensors cannot see the strange entity, though its voice does not sound like that of a regular Daltonite.
Frog: What foul fiend do we face now? I can't see it, but it doesn't sound like a Daltonite...
Ayla: What that? Not sound like Daltonite.
Magus: Strange... What could these fools be planning now?
Schala: I was right, then... {line break}
What about that strange voice? I don't think it's a Daltonite...

*The Head Daltonite turns around. Stop music.*

Head Daltonite: W-what!? You again!?

*Everyone assumes a fighting stance*

Marle: We're taking you in to assure you don't try anything else!
Lucca: You're being apprehended! We're not taking any chances with you again!
Robo: We are capturing you to make sure you do not try to harm [Schala's name] or the village again. Please come along peacefully.
Frog: Your tricks are at their end! We're capturing you to make sure no more harm is done!
Ayla: No more plans! We capture you!
Magus: My sister wishes to merely apprehend you to ensure you don't try anything again. Consider yourself lucky.
Schala: We're apprehending you so you won't harm the village again! Please come along quietly!

Head Daltonite: Oh really? Bring it on!

Daltonite: You won't succeed!

Daltonite: Hahaha! You think you can beat us?

*A battle with "Daltonite Lord" and three Expert Daltonites ensures. The battle uses the "Boss Battle 1" theme.*

After the battle:

Head Daltonite: Ugh... {line break}
Even after those enhancements I got, I still can't win...

Marle: Let's round them up before they can escape again!
Lucca: We're not taking chances this time! Quickly, get them!
Robo: We should capture them before they escape again.
Frog: Quickly! Round them up before they escape us again!
Ayla: Capture Daltonites! Quickly!
Magus: If it were up to me, I would take your pitiful lives, but [Schala's name] has other plans...
Schala: We should capture them before they can escape!

*The screen darkens, and when it brightens, we see our heroes in one of the huts, with some Daltonites and the Head Daltonite tied up with rope in a corner.*

Schala: There...that should keep them from doing anything else.

Daltonite: Ha! You really think-

Head Daltonite: Shut up, you idiot!

Daltonite: ...

Marle: What was that about?
Lucca: That sounded suspicious...
Robo: What did you mean by that?
Frog: What? This is suspicious...
Ayla: [Ayla's name] confused. What Daltonites mean?
Magus: ...I do not like the sound of this...
Schala: What are you talking about...?

Daltonite: ...... {line break}
You really think that these ropes can hold us? Hahaha! We'll bust out of these in a day!

If Magus is in the party, the following dialog occurs:

*Magus runs up to a Daltonite and whips out his scythe. Everyone uses a "surprised" sprite.*

Magus: Really? I suppose we'd better kill you to make sure you don't try anything again.

Schala: Janus! You don't have to resort to violence like that!

Magus: ...

*Pause. He puts his scythe away.*

Magus: Hmph. I suppose this is your lucky day.

Resume normal dialog:

Marle: I don't think so! Those ropes are enchanted with magic!
Lucca: ...Which is exactly why those are enchanted ropes.
Robo: Those ropes are enchanted with spells of binding. It is highly unlikely you could get out of them.
Glenn: Hah! Those ropes are magical! Nothing can get out of them!
Ayla: Ropes magic! No escape!
Magus: The ropes are enchanted with spells of binding. You cannot get out.
Schala: Those ropes are enchanted. You can't squeeze out of them, I'm afraid.

Daltonite: ...

*Schala turns to the party*

Schala: You're probably very tired from all of that. Please rest. We'll talk more in the morning.

*The screen darkens, and the normal "Good Night" jingle plays. After, if you go to the Elder's hut, you can find Schala waiting there.*

Schala: Oh, there you are. Good morning. {line break}
May I ask what you intend to do after this?

Marle: We're going to defeat Lavos!
Lucca: We're planning to defeat Lavos, to save the future.
Robo: We are planning on defeating Lavos. In the distant future, he has anihilated the planet.
Frog: To defeat the fiend Lavos!
Ayla: Defeat Lavos!
Magus: I seek revenge on Lavos.

If Magus is in the party:

*Schala turns to Magus*

Schala: Revenge on Lavos...? {line break}
Oh... I understand...

Resume normal dialog:

Schala: Defeat...Lavos? Is that even possible?

Marle: We think so.
Lucca: Nothing can stand in the way of science!
Robo: Perhaps not, but we must try anyway.
Frog: I will not die at the hands of such a fiend!
Ayla: Ayla strong! No lose!
Magus: It does not matter. I will find a way, no matter what.

Schala: Really...? That certainly seems a noble goal... I wish you luck.

Marle: Why don't you come with us?
Lucca: You should come with us!
Robo: Your magical prowess would be a great help in our quest.
Frog: Surely you are proficient with magic? You could be a great help to us!
Ayla: You come?
(Magus says nothing)

*Pause. Schala looks down.*

Schala: ...I'm afraid I can't.

*She looks up*

Schala: Even though this...Pestilence...is gone, the people will still need my help. I feel that I need to help with the construction of the new world. {line break}
I'm...sorry.

Marle: It's alright. I understand.
Lucca: Don't worry. What you're doing here is important!
Robo: Do not worry. You will be fine here.
Frog: That's alright. Your job here is important as well.
Ayla: It okay!
Magus: I cannot afford to put you in any further danger, anyway.

*The party turns to leave, but Schala stops them.*

Schala: Wait. I have something to give you... It's the least I can do to thank you.

(She gives them a "Zeal Crest", which quarters MP costs and gives a damage boost, like the Sunglasses, as well as 1 of each Capsule)

If Magus is in the party, she also says this:

Schala: Oh, and I see you still have my amulet, Janus... I discovered a way to increase the power of its protective charms.

*She chants and the screen glows blue*

("Schala's Amulet" is upgraded into "Holy Amulet", which gives Auto-Protect and Auto-Barrier as well as Status Immunity)

Schala: Good luck.

(If you talk to her again, she just repeats her speech about helping the villagers)

However, if you had Magus in your party during the quest, she talks to you as you board the Epoch.

Voice: Wait!

*Schala runs up to the party*

*"Schala's Theme" begins to play*

Schala: I've decided... I'm coming with you.

Marle: W-what? But I thought you said...
Lucca: Huh? But I thought you needed to help the villagers?
Robo: Why do you wish to join us now?
Frog: Don't the villagers need your help?
Ayla: ...?
Magus: Schala...!

*Schala turns to Magus*

Schala: Janus...what you said about being someone else...about Janus being dead...it's not true.

*Stop music*

Magus: No! I told you, you're wrong! You don't understand what I've done! I've lead demons to war against innocent people! I've slaughtered thousands! And even my appearance has been warped by my dark magic... All to get at Lavos! Look at me! Would you still call a bloodthirsty, vengeful demon your brother?

Schala: ...

*"The Last Day of the World"/"Depths of the Night" begins to play (depends on which one Justin thinks suits the dialog better)*

Schala: Yes. {line break}
Janus...you're the one who doesn't understand. I don't care about any of that. You're still Janus at heart. You're still my brother. {line break}
When I heard that you had been swallowed by that black portal, it was like a knife to my heart. My one hope, that you had survived...shattered. {line break}
But now... You've come back! Please, Janus... {line break}
Even if you deny it, I'll show you that the young Janus that I remember still exists! That's why I want to come with you!  Lavos destroyed everything in my life as well!

Magus: ...Very well.

*"Schala's Theme" begins to play*

Schala: Thank you! You don't know how much that means to me!

*The party-switch menu comes up*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, at the End of Time, if you have Schala in your party while talking to Magus, instead of his usual "I won't hesitate to take your life" speech, he should say something else. Also, Spekkio should say something when he sees her, maybe...

Spekkio: !!! {line break}
Lady [Schala's name]! Are my eyes deceiving me!? I thought you died in the Ocean Palace Disaster! {line break}
Well, anyway, she's "Light", and I don't really have anything to teach her; her magical prowess far exceeds mine!

Her dialog when the party sees Lavos's first form erupt:

Schala: What a powerful being...should we fight it?

If you answer "Flee for now":

Schala: I suppose you're right...we are not yet strong enough.

If you answer "Fight!":

*Schala assumes her fighting stance*

Schala: You're right! Even if we lose... I will fight for Mother, for Janus, for Zeal, for the entire world...!

Once Lavos's head is defeated:

Schala: That was not the true Lavos. We'll have to travel deeper...

Once they're in the shell:

Schala: Ugh... {line break}
This place is so strange...

If you crashed the Epoch:

Schala: Ugh...that was a loud crash. {line break}
It seems everyone's safe. {line break}
But the [Epoch's name]... It's...!

When you fight Lavos's second form:

Schala: Is this...Lavos's true form?

Her speech when she sees Lavos's third form:

Schala: ... {line break}
So, to you...we are nothing but wheat for the reaping...! {line break}
You monster... {line break}
You took everything from me! My family, my kingdom, my entire world...! {line break}
Yet all of that is meaningless to you! Even now, you do the same to everyone else, as well! {line break}
I won't allow this to continue...!

*She assumes a fighting stance*

Schala: Give Mother back!!

At the End of Time, if you talk to her:

Schala: Is my assistance needed?

If you pick "no":

Schala: Oh...I see... Good luck, anyway.

If you pick "yes":

Schala: I will do my best to help you!

When seeing the Dream Devourer:

Schala: W-what!? Myself...in Lavos? What is this...!?

Another thing I think Justin should add, is a scene at the end of "Dream's Epilogue" if you recruited Schala:

After we see Magus walking around in the woods, we switch back to Schala and the DD.

Schala: Forgive me, Janus. I hope you will understand... {line break}
Perhaps you will even find a way to save me...

*she looks up*

Schala: ...?

The camera shows the End of Time. The party you used to fight the DD is returning via the bucket.

Schala: What? Myself...? {line break}
...! This is...!

The camera turns back to Schala and the DD. Schala is on her knees.

Schala: No! I won't...let you...take her... {line break}
Ugh...! Lavos!!

*Schala goes back into the position she is in during the DD fight*

Schala: ... {line break}
Yes, of course. I was a fool for resisting, Lavos. {line break}
Now, banish her to the Darkness of Time! Your existence must be assured!

*Lavos roars*

The camera now shows the End of Time again. A black Gate opens up under Schala.

Schala: ...!

*Schala falls to her knees*

Schala: S-someone... Help...!

(Not sure what the party's reactions will be)

*Schala is swallowed by the Gate*

We now see a pitch-black area. Schala can dimly be seen in the middle, on her knees.

Schala: ...What is this place...?

*She stands up*

Schala: It's so dark... I can't see anything... {line break}
I can't seem to feel anything, either, even my own body...

*She falls down to her knees again*

Schala: But I know it's cold... So very, very cold...

*Lavos appears behind her, and growls.*

Schala: W-what? Who's there?

*She turns around, pauses, and begins backing away.*

Schala: No...no! {line break}
Lavos...!

*She falls to her knees and slowly begins to gravitate towards Lavos, like at the Ocean Palace. The screen goes completely black and the "scream" noise plays.*

However, she still needs dialog for the "Beyond Time" ending...

Her weapons:

Royal Dagger (initial equip, description: "A dagger used by royalty for self-defense.")
Dreamstone Dagger (sold in Surviving Village, description: "A dagger with a red blade carved from dreamstone.")
Celestial Dagger (found in a chest somewhere, Light damage, description: "A dagger imbued with the power of the heavens.")
Jeweled Knife: (ultimate weapon, (should have a special effect of some sort), description: "A knife with a hilt set with dazzling gems, once used by the gods themselves.")
Dreamweaver (DV ultimate weapon, causes sleep, 60% critical rate, description: "A dagger said to have the power to create dreams.")

Anyway, what do you think? I know it probably needs work and Justin could likely do better, but like I said, just throwing the idea out there... (This is only once the 8th Character patch is made, of course, though I think the Ocean Palace branch dialog should still happen.)

Holy shit...

This is good. This is really good. This beats even my idea. Two boss battles just to get Schala?

Pretty neat idea.  It got really strange around the pestilence area and mecha-dalton, but it was pretty well done.  I like this.

Minus the fact that we don't have 8 characters >_<...Maybe...I'll use the demo patch for now and put them in?..

It's for when the 8th character is done. Until it is, I guess you can try my idea at least as a tester. If I recall, you could switch between her and Janus as the 7th character. The plot device is that one stays behind to help the Last Village.

Neat stuff, I don't know where Mecha-Dalton came from, but overall the idea's pretty neat. My only suggestion would be to use the actual Dalton...somehow...but after a quick dialog tweak, that could work for an 8 character patch. But, like Justin noted, we don't have 8 characters...yet.

But for the 7 playable characters, you'd have to get rid of a playable Magus, right? Isn't that how you'd have to get Schala in the game? Fuck, I don't know anything.

You're dead on Mav.  Shadow, we've said 3 times already, that will NOT work.  Your idea still requires a fully working 8th character with techs, stats, all that stuff.  None of that is really even working right now...

Thanks. :) And yeah, Shadow, that won't work... His data and stuff will still be there even if you're not using him, and we'd need the 8th Character Patch for that to work.

And yeah, like I said, it needs some polishing... -.-; Mecha-Dalton is the best idea I could come up with. You're free to offer more, I'm kinda bad in areas like those... I can't really think of anything better, though, sorry. :/ And yeah, Dalton himself just...wouldn't make sense. The whole point is that his golem gate sends him to the DV... And it actually sort of makes sense, since we do see some Daltonites installing the Epoch with wings and Dalton's new controls, but yeah...

Maybe a leftover Golem of some sort? Maybe the Golem Overlord... Only this time, you fight him for real. ;) Not sure how it would work... Guess it came out via a fluke again, maybe? And then the Daltonites worshiped it or something... Glad you like the general idea, though.

Pestilence is sort of...stupid, I know, but I couldn't think of anything better... :/ Ideas are welcome, as always.

Oh, and what did you think of Schala's dialog? Was it fitting, or not? (I'm going to update my huge text block with her Lavos speeches right now, by the way)

Yea, the dialogue did seem incredibly fitting.  I loved it.

Added her Lavos dialog. "Give Mother back!!" might sound a bit selfish and that conflicts with her personality, but I think it works...

Also, here's the master tech list, listed as it would be in the Dojo: (I added some new ones, too)

Schala: *Restore (Restores status, including negated Status Immunity, target: single; Rainbow-colored orbs of light appear around a party member. Description: "Purge one ally of harmful status ailments.")

Schala: *Heal (Same as Glenn's)

Schala: *Cure (Same as Marle's)

Schala: *Starfall (Light, target: single; Schala chants, and white sparkles fall from the sky and crash into an enemy. Description: "Call upon the stars to smite an enemy with celestial power.")

Schala: *Guardian (Gives Protect and Barrier, target: single; A red pyramid similar to the one Schala uses to seal the Gate appears around one party member. A sort of fusion of Protect and Barrier happens: the green orbs condense, then the yellow circle of protect appears, and the ending of Barrier occurs. Description: "Call upon holy power to shield an ally from all forms of damage.")

Schala: *Comet (Light, target: all; Schala chants, and a ball of light descends from the sky. It grows bigger as it reaches the ground, and finally explodes with a brilliant flash of light. Description: "Call upon the heavens to smite enemies with celestial power.")

Schala: *Arise (Same as Marle's)

Schala: *Holy (Light, target: all; Schala chants, and a beam of light comes down from the sky in the center of the battlefield. The beam grows brighter and brighter, then there is an explosion that turns the screen white like Luminaire. Description: "Call upon the heavens to smite enemies with celestial power.")

Crono & Schala: Light Sword (Starfall + Cleave, Light, target: single; Schala casts Starfall on Crono's sword as he comes down, adding the normal Starfall animation on impact, like the other "Sword" techs. Description: "Strike foe with enchanted blade.")

Crono & Schala: Light Sword II (Comet + Frenzy, Light, target: circle; Schala casts Comet around Crono, and as he spins, the ball of light expands and explodes. Description: "Attack enemies in circle with spellblade.")

Crono & Schala: Heavenly Peal (Lightning + Holy, or Lightning + Comet if that's too powerful, Light, target: single; basically the same as the DD's version. Same animation as that, one enemy. Description: "Call down the wrath of the heavens to smite one enemy.")

Marle & Schala: Full Heal (Cure II + Heal, restores status, target: all; Marle casts Cure II on Schala, who immediately follows up with a Heal spell. Cure II sparkles fall on everyone, then the blue animation of Heal occurs. Description: "Combine healing magic to greatly heal allies.")

Marle & Schala: Temporal Guardian (Haste + Guardian, gives Haste, Protect, and Barrier, target: all; Schala casts a large Guardian spell that encases the entire party in the red pyramid, and then Marle casts Haste on the Guardian. The normal animation of a fusion of Protect and Barrier then occurs. Description: "Enable Guardian to halve wait time of allies.")

Marle & Schala: Comet Trail (Comet + Ice II, Ice, target: all; Schala and Marle cast their spells at the same time. Schala's Comet flies across the battlefield while Marle casts Ice II on it, causing it to leave a trail of ice, which freezes all enemies. Description: "Freeze a comet, creating a trail of frigid cold.")

Lucca & Schala: Flash Bang (Napalm Bomb + Starfall, Light, causes blindness, target: circle; Lucca tosses her Napalm Bomb onto an enemy while Schala casts Starfall. The two collide, causing a bright, white explosion. Description: "Blind enemies in a circle with light bomb.")

Lucca & Schala: Flash Bang II (Megaton Bomb + Comet, Light, causes blindness, target: all; Lucca tosses her Megaton Bomb up in the air while Schala casts Comet on it, causing it to explode in a magnificent flash of light. Description: "Blind enemies with powerful light bomb.")

Lucca & Schala: Sacred Protection (Guardian + Protect, gives Protect, Barrier, and Status Immunity, target: all; Schala casts a large Guardian that encases all party members, Lucca casts a large Protect on it, causing the Guardian to glow while the rest of the animation carries out. Description: "Imbue Guardian with divine protection.")

Robo & Schala: Cure Light (Cure + Heal Beam, target: all; Schala casts Cure on Robo as he uses Heal Beam. The beam he fires is white instead of blue, and causes the screen to turn white like Luminaire does)

Robo & Schala: Light-speed Fist (Starfall + Rapid-fire Fist, Light, target: single; Robo prepares to perform Rapid-fire Fist, but waits until Schala casts Starfall on him. He glows white, then as he punches, the screen flashes. Robo assumes his normal stance as if he has already done a Rapid-fire Fist, then punching animation appears over the enemy, with white fists. Description: "Imbue [Robo's name] with light, allowing him to fire weapons at light speed.")

Robo & Schala: Nova (Comet + Proximity Bomb, Light, target: circle around Robo; Schala casts a small Comet on Robo, who lets off his Proximity Bomb as the Comet hits him, causing it to explode in a flash of light. Description: "[Robo's name] explodes a blast of Light magic, causing an explosion of light around him.")

Glenn & Schala: Divine Storm (Water II + Holy, Light, target: all; Glenn begins casting Water II as Schala casts Holy Light. Glowing white rain pours down to smite enemies. Description: "Smite enemies with divine water." Idea From: Shadow D. Darkman)

Glenn & Schala: Pure Heal (Heal + Restore, restores status, target: all; Similar to Full Heal. Schala casts Restore on Glenn, who then casts Heal to spread it to everyone.)

Glenn & Schala: Holy Water (Water + Holy, Light, target: circle; Glenn casts Water, but the bubble does not pop when it reaches the enemy. Schala then casts Holy Light on it, causing a beam of light to go into the water. It glows white, and explodes. Description: "Smite enemies in a circle with divine water.")

Ayla & Schala: Star Toss (Starfall + Boulder Toss, Light, target: circle; Schala casts Starfall on Ayla, and she grabs the stars, then hurls them onto an enemy. Description: "Call down stars for [Ayla's name] to throw at enemies in a circle.")

Ayla & Schala: Comet Throw (Comet + Boulder Toss, Light, target: circle; Schala casts Comet on Ayla, who throws it onto an enemy. It explodes there. Description: "Call down a comet for [Ayla's name] to throw at enemies in a circle.")

Ayla & Schala: Greatstone (Guardian + Boulder Toss, non-elemental, target: all; Schala casts a modified version of Guardian that causes the three beams of light to condense on Ayla, causing her to glow white. The Grandstone sprite then phases into existence above her, and she hurls it at the enemies. (If we're going to have attacks inspired by Dreamreaver and Heavenly Tears, why not Grandstone as well, I thought? ;) Description: "Increase [Ayla's name]'s strength with magic, allowing her to crush enemies with a huge boulder.")

Janus & Schala: Twilight Bomb (Starfall + Dark Bomb, non-elemental, target: circle; Schala calls down stars that are encased in Janus's Dark Bomb. As it explodes, the stars spread out with a flash. Description: "Blast enemies in a circle with light and darkness.")

Janus & Schala: Twilight Blast (Comet + Dark Mist, non-elemental, target: all; Janus summons his Dark Mist, but it stays in the center of the screen while Schala summons her Comet. When they collide, a huge explosion and flash occurs. Description: "Blast all enemies with light and darkness.")

Janus & Schala: Divine Seal (Guardian + Dark Bomb, inflicts low damage on all enemies but causes status ailments, non-elemental, target: all)

Crono, Marle, Schala: Angel's Blessing (Arise + Arise + Raise, heals and casts "auto-raise", target: all; With their combined spells, Schala, Marle, and Crono call down a large angel that spreads its hands out and bathes the party in light. Description: "Summon a powerful angel to bless allies with divine protection.")

Crono, Lucca, Schala: Soul Flare (Flare + Raise + Holy, or Flare + Raise + Starfall if that's too powerful, non-elemental, target: all; Crono, Lucca, and Schala all cast at the same time, creating a turquoise Flare that explodes slowly (i.e. maybe half-second pause between each "boom") and leaves colored sparkles in its wake. Description: "Create a magical blast of spiritual energy.")

Crono, Glenn, Schala: Holy Smite/Holy Cross (Cleave + Aerial Strike + Holy, or Cyclone + Slurp Cut + Holy if that's too powerful, (use the second name in that case) Light, target: single; Schala begins casting while Glenn and Crono ready their techs. Schala casts Holy Light on both of them, causing their swords to glow white, then they rush at the enemy, causing a white explosion on contact. (If you decide to use "Holy Cross", just have Crono and Glenn do their normal X-Strike animation with white lines instead of red) Description: "Smite enemies with holy blade.")

Crono, Ayla, Schala: Dreamstone Crush (Raise + Boulder Toss + Guardian, non-elemental, target: all; Schala casts Guardian to boost Ayla's strength like with Greatstone while Crono summons a large dreamstone with Raise. Ayla hurls the dreamstone at the enemies. Description: "Summon a large dreamstone and increase [Ayla's name]'s strength so she can hurl it at enemies.")

Marle, Lucca, Schala: Trinity (Fire II + Ice II + Comet, Shadow, target: all; Everyone combines their spells in the middle of the battlefield, creating a white orb that expands and explodes as it glows red, blue, and white, ending with a flash. Description: "Blast enemies with three powerful spells.")

Marle, Glenn, Schala: Starlight (Arise + Heal + Starfall, Light, heals allies, damages enemies, target: all; Schala casts Starfall as Marle casts Arise, causing the screen to go dark and stars to cover the background, like a starlit night sky. Glenn then casts Heal, causing a slow flash of light. When it clears, healing sparkles appear around the party and white, Starfall sparkles appear around enemies. (Not sure if it's possible to attack and heal at the same time, but if CC could do it, then maybe...) Description: "Call upon the stars to smite enemies and heal allies.")

Marle, Ayla, Schala: Prisim Kick (Ice + Starfall + Triple Kick, Light, target: single; Marle casts Ice on Ayla as she rushes up, then as she comes down, ice forms. Schala then casts Starfall, turning the ice block to shine like a prism, then shatter)

Lucca, Robo, Schala: Supernova (Flare + Proximity Bomb + Starfall, Light, target: all; Robo jumps to the center of the battlefield and Schala casts Starfall on him as he lets off a Proximity Bomb, causing the stars to explode into light as Lucca casts Flare on them, causing a huge explosion of light. Description: "[Robo's name] blasts stars while [Lucca's name] increases their power with Flare.")

Lucca, Glenn, Schala: Blazing Lights (Water + Fire II + Holy, Light, target: line of sight; Glenn casts Water on Schala while she casts Holy on herself, creating an orb of light. Lucca then casts Fire II on the orb, causing it to burn with white fire, and the orb flies across a line of enemies, leaving white fire and light in its wake. Description: "Create holy fire to smite enemies.")

Lucca, Ayla, Schala: Meteor (Fire + Comet + Tail Spin, Fire, target: all; Schala begins casting Comet while Ayla jumps to the center of the battlefield and begins using Tail Spin as Lucca casts Fire on her. Schala's Comet arrives as Ayla spins and intensifies the fire, turning it into a whirlwind of flame around her. The inferno jumps up to burn Schala's Comet, turning it into a large, flaming meteor. It falls, causing a huge fiery explosion. Description: "Burn a comet, transforming it into a flaming sphere of destruction.")

Robo, Ayla, Schala: Grand Slam (Starfall + Cat Attack + Robo Tackle, Light, target: single; Schala casts Starfall on Ayla and Robo, covering them in sparkles, then they dash forward and slam into an enemy with a short flash on contact. Description: "Smash enemy with celestial energy." Idea from: mav)

Glenn, Ayla, Schala: Comet Strike (Aerial Strike + Boulder Toss + Comet, Light, target: line of sight; Schala casts Comet on Glenn as he runs and jumps onto Ayla, who hurls him across the battlefield as he trails explosions of light. Description: "Imbue [Glenn's name] with light magic and hurl him through enemies.")

Crono, Janus, Schala: Gaia's Dream (Luminaire + Dark Matter + Holy, non-elemental, target: all. Before you go "OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE WAY TOO POWERFUL!!!", it should require a difficult-to-get gemstone, perhaps a "Rainbow Gemstone". This is stemmed from the Dreamreaver idea, thus "Dream" in the name. Non-elemental; Janus summons a pyramid of Dark Matter similar to Lavos's pyramid-like thing he creates with Dreamreaver, only black. Right as it closes, Crono summons Luminaire, trapping the green orb of holy light stuff inside the pyramid. Then, Schala casts Holy Light, causing the pyramid to glow white and explode. Flashes of various time periods occur, then a bright, slow flash happens, similarly to what happens when you defeat Lavos. Description: "Unleash an enormous output of magic power, summoning the planet's energy to smite enemies.")

We still need:

Triple tech with Crono and Robo

Triple tech with Marle and Robo

Triple tech with Robo and Glenn

(Note: this will be updated when I have more ideas/get suggestions)

Well, it's the basic script outline that matters most, if you ask me, perhaps you guys could consult various members at the board to try and get a better grasp on her (and all playable characters') personality.

You've done enough work for now: your contributions to this thread are a great springboard for this project. Let that brain of yours recover.
