Hello.
First off I am new here, so if I do something stupid please say so.
Ok, now that that is out of the way, I am going to say why I am here.
Alot of people know me as the "Final Fantasy Flamer".The reason is because since I have picked appart the series from VII to present day, and that most of the things that come out of my mouth are negative, alot of people think I hate Final Fantasy.
It is, however, the exact opposit. I love the games to death. I think when done right they achive something far more than a normal videogame and that other companies should aspire too. I expecaly love Moogles. Got to love the Moogles. :mog:
So, one day out of the blue, one of my friends posed me a challange...
Friend :: Let me tell you about something, this new Crisis Core game is still through the eyes of the good guys. Why not have it be played from Sephiroth and have it be a prelude or something.
Me :: Yea, true that?
Friend :: Hay, you design Videogames for a living right?
Me :: Yea? And your point?
Friend :: Well, lets leave the fact that Japan is afraid of forigners and the fact this will never happen...if Sidepocket Ent had to design Final Fantasy XIII, what would you do?
I did not had an awsner, and that question was stuck in my mind for days. I have designed alot of games, some of them for fun too. However, nobody had gave me a project so big even if it was fake. I thought about it for a very long time, did some research, and looked at the current techonolgy as well as were FF was going as a whole.
Two weeks later, I gave him an awnser. A very long awnser. I gave him a Game Design Document. A GDD is something that you normaly make for a game that is going to be greenlighted. I even got so far I did drawings too.
My friend was so impressed, he said I should share it with eveyone else.
So here I am, typing up a fake idea of what Final Fantasy XIII could be on Playstation 3.
Hay, why not since I put so much damn free time into it. Plus, who better to sculped it further than real Final Fantasy fans?
Right now unfortunatly, I am too tired to post anything. I will do that sometime twomarrow...crap just saw the clock. In my time zone, it is twomarrow. So then later today would be the correct term.
However, for now, I would like to know what things you would like to hear about first? Perhaps you can think of something better as well...
-Story in a Nutshell
-Characters
-Battle System
-Worlds
-Races
-Magic
...and anything else comes to mind?
That is all for now, see you all in a few hours. Right now I need nappy time. :eep:
