Okay mine would be extremely crap and I've had these ideas in my head for about 6 years now. I'd have the characters from FF8 but in their twenties. A couple of years beating after Ultimecia, the SeeDs are called to serve in a war by Laguna between the evil, brainwashed people of Galbadia under the rule of Duchess Yuna (bear with me) who is the daughter of President Delling, seeking vengenge on anyone for his death and is secretly a goddess and Esther (SeeD would be on Esther's side of course) and they all survive but Squall goes missing and assume that he was killed when really he was taken prisoner by Galbadia. One day, he and Rinoa (who previously adopted a daughter who unknown to everyone is a goddess) meet up again. They have a new enemy, Hyne, (who has come back to life thanks to Ultimecia who discreetly revived him before she died so he would kill the humans and who is a god) and wants his magic back. Throughout the game, he takes over Esther and tortures the humans and rapes the women and stuff and marries Duchess Yuna so they can kill the humans to start a new dominant, worldwide race of gods and goddesses with unstoppable magical power. (Insert a good plot here). When his plans are nearly destroyed, he begins to suck the world up and kill everyone after the final battle while Yuna goes into hiding because she's a pussy. Rinoa kills herself to save everyone because the blood of the sorceous is the only thing that can kill him.
And yeah that's it but I also have a sequel: Squall and Rinoa Jr. peacefully sleeping in their house then the Duchess' second husband (who is undead, the general of a powerful, undead army and who wanted Hyne to win) breaks in and takes Rinoa Jr. outside and slashes her neck and then there's another war between the undead and the humans in Fisherman Horizon. Squall carries Rinoa Jr.'s body over to Rinoa Snr.'s grave and sheds a tear. The mixture of his tear and the blood of a god brings people back to life. And that's it for the sequel, it's extremely hard to come up with original storylines.
Rubbish, huh?
I would try to make something new, It would be a game where you play for the bad guys instead of the clasisac heroes. The characters would be similiar to Seifer, Sephiroth or Shadow, as they all aren't exactly evil, but still have that baddas think about them. Also I wouldn't use the old save the world theme, rather something like the missions in FFX-2.
This belongs more in the General FF forum than the FFX one.
And personally, I'd leave it to Square, because if I made it there would be way too many moogles and chocobos in it. ^_^
Heh, interesting that you ask that.
I've had several ideas that could easily pan into games.
One of them involved characters that I don't know anything about (as compared to the other which is all characters) All I really know about it is a short mini-game: Letter Carrying.
The basis is that main guy hero and main girl heroine love each other, but for some reason have to communicate me. That leaves the narrator (not either of the heroes) to deliver letters between them. This is just a sidething as you go on through the game (sorta like the moogle thing in ff9 I guess) that happens when you reach a new area, or something similar happens.
Except, when you get halfway through the game, depending on how well you delivered letters, a scene will take place at a certain area at a differing time.
The gist is this:
party stops for the night at an inn/b&b, the rest of the party says goodnight and goes to bed, and you're left with hero and heroine. Dark stormy night outside, and a cutscene reveals the reason behind the letters (because you were too noble to read them) Hero (or heroine, I guess either way it could work) is massively suicidal and has convinced herione (or hero) to follow him (her) in death.
Lots of candles, open windows, wind blowing (don't fear the reaper baby) and the next morning, you find out that you have to fight the next boss with your two best (because obviously they're lovable and you kept them in the party the most) characters gone.
I have no clue where that came from, but I think I thought of it last summer. Then the rest of the game could involve trying to dig up hero's past to figure out how he could've done such a thing, etc.
_________________________
the other idea is much less. . . disturbing.
It's character based, because I *know* these people (use them as alter-egos on irc and in forums, etc), they're almost real. Heck, rubah is a deriviative nickname from one of them (and just happens to mean fox in indonesian. go figure)
You've got Ruby, Derrick, Sam, Fenny (heh, these two are the troublesome ones-- because in my IRC wisdom, I used nicks that were existing characters, and then in rp I kept the names but changed the personalities-_- so now I'm stuck thinking of them as these people, but I can't use those names=copyright infringing:P), Thaddeus, and Illecebria (c'mon you have to have at least one pretentious latin mangled name
It's set in a world where multiverse and the antiverse (names that will have to be improved upon) coexist, less than peacefully. The residents of the antiverse forsake the Thoughtful God, so they must live in another pocket of the universe, that overlaps on the multiverse, but unless you knew of the demenstional portals, you'd never notice it there.
The portals are integral to the continued existance of botht he multiverse and the antiverse. In the multiverse (the one that is most like our own world) Time is needed to be used for the world to continue. Thyme is a seasoning that is sold in stores and put on food. In the antiverse, Thyme is the secret to the ages.
Obviously, you can't grow time in the multiverse (youth in a bottle, anyone?) and the same is true for thyme in the antiverse. this spurs on the [ tiim' ] continuum.
so obviously, it's all character, and as of yet, no plot, contrary to the first
(although knowing thad's nature, I'm sure he'd have no difficulty in convincing illecebria to die with him)
Heck, I've had ideas for status effects.
You have normal ones like sleep, confused, etc, but whatabout *Stoned*? The one where your hp runs down, like in poison, but your character does crazy stuff that you wouldn't see otherwise in the game-- like trying to fly in the battle field. You could cure it by giving them a glass of water and casting sleep on them. Dangerous when walking through poppy fields
and speaking of sleep, you feel rested when you sleep, so why not regain hp when it's in work? And some people sleepwalk, so depending on one of their stats, have them execute random moves (physical attacks, maybe a limit once in a blue moon)
confuse would be more along the lines of the character breaking out of the party formation and going up when the other characters are about to attack, pulling on them and asking stupid questions. 'Ruby, why are you trying to kill that thing? it's human!'
crazy could be the randomly attacking your own characters, status immunity is granted by equipping a strait jacket. The status itself is cured by casting lightning elemental spells, or using a lightning elemental item. (shock therapy. yippie)
yay for overimaginative imaginations.
Dr. Wily has created eight new robot masters in another dastardly bid for world domination. Only Mega Man, who resisted the mad doctor's evil reprogramming, can battle the robot masters and return peace to the world once more.
Maybe I'd take some elements from old games, like a job system and a few town names, and throw them in. Also, can't forget the summoned monsters, such as Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Leviathan, Odin, and Bahamut.
I would make a game where you get to chose your character out of
cloud, squall, vivi, tidus
and then you get to see what happened after their stories in previouse ff's!
I was thinking in a game where a Warlock was the principal... and the principal girl WASN'T a Mage...
But I don't have good ideas to desenvolve this one, so I knocked it off.
*thinks*
hmm. . . maria wasn't really a mage in ff2, (although she could easily be one), reina and faris weren't necessarily mages in ff5 (although they could also be one), tifa wasn't a mage!! but then I guess most people count aeris as the principal female in ff7-_-, rinoa wasn't necessarily magey, although her stats helped with it, (she could also be one), yuna mostly quit being a mage in ffx-2?
I see your point -_- so many ladies get left out of the physical fighting mold:/
maybe vaan will be a thiefmage. 'Super stealing magic!' and ashe will be a physical fighter. . . whose weapon is a hammer. . .
who am I kidding-_-
*loves on her status ailment ideas*
what would be the characters....no yuna....
Enter The Wired....
...join me into my pilgrimage of destroying yuna....Ahahaha
first, i would survey the fans and find out what they want best. satisfying the fans is one of the most important things to a game company, etc.
Hmmm the story would of course be based on my own creation... some of what you can read at my website
Then again I am making a game, but due to my respect for Final Fantasy, I am not calling it that. If any of you have RPGMaker2k3, maybe I will share it with you.
You say you want to hear the truth? I say that you are lying! You do not want the truth. Instead you want to hear a well crafted lie mixed with half truths that you find more appealing than the real truth.
The Legend of Mythus
To me, Final fantasy is rooted in FF1.
That is, there are four orbs (I'd bring back the orbs, even though the crystals have become far more prevalent), there are four warriors, there four elements, there are two worlds (Light and Dark). The Light World has been dominant and the Dark World, the world of Chaos, is in the act of stepping in once again.
Like Garland, like Golbez, like Kefka, somebody will become infatuated with that awesome power of the Void or Chaos or whatever. The twist, very reminiscent of the nature of satan, will come in and devcour that person, manifest itself, and, hopefully, be destroyed by the destined warriors of the world.
The heroes and villains would have characters (Why not) and love interests (Because it seems necessary nowadays).
I'll add more explanation of the origins of all the mythological creatures and references. Mostly, FFs of the past are gone. The stories are gone. All the cool ideaas are absorbed. A game I make would redefine and explicate the nature of the entire world as it was built and invented in FF1-6. So my game would be all about the histories and how they generate.
I would love to build up the world and circumstance that led up to FF1. That way, FF1 would be explained. The story of the sky warriors and of Garland and of whatever epic stuff before the Light Warriors came to pass would be explained - Most importantly, the origin and purpose and ideral knowledge of the Chaos itself and why the world keeps cracking under it. Heck, maybe it isn't evil in nature even, it's just a half of the world that's trying to exist and survive.
The future heroes would analyze the chaoses, and the monsters, and the circumstances of the other games! Of all the times that the world was overrun by the darkness! Then, through logic and mathematics, I'd have Chaos eliminated without a fight. (Or something of the sort)
Because enough is enough. Final Fantasy.
Heh, I was thinking about electromagnetic waves the other day, and how quartz is used to catch/amplify radio waves.
And I thought 'how final fantasy is that?'
Maybe have a crystal deep within a cave that the illustrious hero finds in the forest one day, and the thing starts to hum and speak to him, because it's being controlled from an underground bunker by evil people in the world.
now, has that been done yet, though
