The Idea - Explains the basis behind the game
The Story - Updated a bit. My last story was way off of the original design so here it is. The Original, edited story.
Initial Characters
Non Playable Characters
Antagonist
Creator Notes
Updated a bit. I am about to take time off in order to work on the gameplay and see what I get from that.
Depending on how successful this game is, I may retain or replace all Final Fantasy material. Not my best work on a story either, but I should be able to get it out better after a few revisions.

The idea came around to me while I was playing a few games (Mainly Ragnarok Online, Castlevania, FFTA and Riviera). I was looking at the summon designs for FFTA and thought What if the battle of Ragnarok was fought between the various Final Fantasy summons fighting the Weapons [Diamond, Omega, etc] (I actually read something similar somewhere) and Odin. Well thats how all of this started, I thought of a character design for the Main Male and Female. Something not to cliché'', but not exactly original either. With the various races in Final Fantasy and a neat little idea for the battle system. I give you the heroes of this game, and a thrilling story to boot.
You should also know that I put my original game on hold, to make something that wouldn't put as much strain on my mind. (I also did this to evaluate my own game creating capabilities).

In the World of Gaia... Peace reigns throughout the world. The Seven Kingdoms of Gaia have lived in harmony with out another. This peace however came at a price, its cost, the lives of the many people. 3000 years ago, a great battle was fought between the Nightmare and the Celestials. With the aid of the Celestial Odin, the Nightmare seemed to have the upper hand in the war until they were sealed away by the brave actions of seven individuals. How you ask? Well that is another story to be told. This story gives the events after the war and the new conflict that is about to strike an unexpected world. With the recent appearance of Fiends in Ivalice, a mercenary group was formed in order to combat the threat. Little do they know, these recent attacks tell an inescapable future, that will affect an entire world.

Ramuh - The Celestial whose mastery lies within the Lightning Element. He will guide the adventurers on the journey from time to time, giving useful hints and such to the player

Features
A Revamped Magic/Skills System that will make this game unique compared to other Final Fantasy Games. (Fire hits multiple times, Fira attacks in a area effect and Firaga has its own special thing) <= not official
Skill Level System - Most skills have levels so as not to make them useless later on.
Two Types of Limit Breaks that have different effects.
Personal Skills - Ranging from special techniques used in and out of battle to map techniques.
Forging System - Besides the basic weapons and armors, characters can create their own equipment. Also you will be able to add effects to your equipment and increase its over all power.
Unique Weapons and Armors - Certain weapons and armors cannot be forged, and theirfore must be found. Each unique weapon and armor will have a special effect that cannot be duplicated by forging and modifying
Triple Triad - I am also adding a triple triad game made specifically for this game. I may, or may not add the other Final Fantasy games depending on if I stick with FF Termonology. Also one of Michael's special abilities allow him to tranforms captured souls into Triad Cards (Hence why he uses a Deck).
Le Gasp, I Final Fantasy Games with mostly original music! (Especially the battle themes xD)
