A fix to this (visually-speaking) would be to edit the flying player's alpha value when overlapping another player in that respect. Can be done simply, and at least would compensate for some of the obstruction.

Definitely true and definitely something I have been thinking of.

It can differ from Zodiac with custom sprites and ganis, but yes when it boils down to it, it will not be much more than a SNES RPG with Particle effects as Zodiac pretty much also is. But right now I'm playing around with its plausibility.

Could you have the flying player's alpha value of landed players fade as well? So that as their get..."farther" away from each other, they are harder to see. And the flying player would be faded to the people on the ground?

Don't see why not. Like anything else it'd probably boil down to being a usage issue, if anything were to limit the cleverness of the effect's execution.
