    Default Final Fantasy X: The Novel

    I was at school and this idea pop in my head :rolleyes2 : Final Fantasy X got a very beautiful storyline, maybe i can write a novel about it. so i,m gonna get the game on Christmas and play it alot so i can get the story. it,ll be cool if Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy could do a introduction in it . anyone think this is a good idea?

    Those 1000 words have never been spoken.....

    Oh! I think a good book would be about when little Auron and Braska and Jecht fought sin! Like how their adventure started off and ended. I think that would be a cool idea! :mog: :mog: :mog: :mog:

    after a couple times of playing ffx, i taped the plot wiht my vcr. yah, i said it. its not that long, about 9 hours. but 9 hrs of just plot. it took about 1 1/2 video tapes. i think this would be a good method 2 help you with ur novel, have fun and send me a copy!

    Maybe not about Braska, or Yuna. But if you wrote about summoners of the past and how their journeys went. Their trails, favorite summons, gaurdians, ect. And having the guardians with past jobs and skills not used in 10 or 10-2, Like Dragoon, monk, ect. But hey whatever. To me as a writer, writing is about expression and/or having fun. So have at it and knock urself out. Whatever you do, you should post it somewhere, I'd like toi see what you come up with and maybe, if you want, give helpful ideas and constructive critcism.

    Tried it. I used to love writing short stories but only short ones, I found that the longer it went, the more boring and uninterested I became in writing it. The longest original piece I've ever written is about 20K words.

    Yeah, as I was saying. I tried doing an FFX: The Novel but as I've already explained, it grew tiresome for me really quickly and after I got up to Djose Temple I had to delete the awful thing. Surprisingly, without being surprising I discovered that I had been kinda inventing my own little side stories along the way. Example: I had given the characters surnames, given several NPCs a few moments in the spotlight and replaced Maechen with reoccuring dreams that Tidus had every now and then because I thought it be more symbolic of his connection to Spira and Sin.

    I realised that I prefered writing original stuff because I could let my mind just kinda flow and come up with whatever without being bound to the restrictions that would come with writing a fanfic or in this case, a novel version of a game.

    But everyone's different. Personally, I wouldn't try it again but I am looking forward to seeing how well you can make your's out to be.

    thanks for the comments everyone! It may take 1 or 2 years, but it worth it. one more question: is there a special place where people can post books between 250-750 pages or something like that?

    EDITED: Oh, and it gonna be a chapter book.

    yah, a library

    no, but a book with taht many pages shouldn't be that large. maybe a couple megabytes?if so, you can practically post it newhere.

    beware:if you're planning to copy FFX there are already plot script out that have every line spoken within the game. but then again, a novel is different than a script

    good luck and send me a copy!!!

    I wrote half of one for ff8 - it was a lot of fun. I used the online script to get the dialogue, then cut what I didn't want, and changed things here and there for realism. Then I put different parts in the point of view of various characters, Fujin being the most fum, and added lots of description. I'd love to finish it someday, but it is a HUGE undertaking. Good luck.
