FF Tactics anyone?

Would anyone be interested in working on a Final Fantasy Tactics clone? I'm envisioning work on a few systems (templates) that accomplish the following:

- Orthogonalization of terrain space
- Quasi Turn-based (i.e. realtime but with limits in between actions)
- Job system (JP, which gets spent at match end and will Save/Load)
- Experience for game actions (won't save, else advantage for previous play would outweigh skill and team work)

If you've played FFT you'll know what this should look like. I'd like to make it such that a terrainer could come along, make whatever terrain they saw fit, and then wham, a new map. Before starting on this, I'm wondering who'd be interested and what they're bringing to the table. Even if you don't know how to do much, don't let that stop you from speaking up.

I remember an old project from this site... Warcraft Tactics. I don't think it was ever finished, tho.

Edit:
Also, wrong forum.

'pologize, guess I missed the "not covered in other forums." portion.

EDIT: Yeah, all the links to it that I found here were dead... hmm... Yeah, scrap that idea.

i like the idea of an FF-tactis like map in WC3. Its just a pretty big system to code and balance. And i suck at finishing big complex systems.
