A/N
(Intro + MUST READ!):
This was a great idea. The game is great, the storyline made me addicted to it, and the characters have great personality. I began an FFVII novelization, but the story was so complex, and some parts in the game I didn't quite understand, it became overwhelming and I postponed the continuation of it. For now. I'm not too impressed with it when I read back on it. FFX, however… is a wonderful, easy to understand, linear game. Even though FFVII is a better game… hehe. Anyway, some important rules you must know. I'll be taking most of the dialogue from the game itself, the exact dialogue spoken, and the scenes encountered. I will not manipulate the storyline or the character's personalities in any way, shape or form. It'd be an insult to Square-Enix. On ANOTHER note, I'm not going to add every single boss or mini-boss or enemy in this story edition. Battling in text is an interesting challenge, but with the amount of bosses and enemies in the game, it will be impossible to come up with something new and interesting each time. I'm only going to stick with the bosses that affect the storyline in some strong matter. Thank you.
Also, please notify me if I make a mistake somewhere in the story, or if I confused you too much on a particular part. I'll be happy to fix it. Just keep it constructive criticism, I get all sad when I get flaming criticism. Not really, I'll just backfire. ;)
On another note! Please read this! It's likely I'm going to often revise my chapters throughout the process of finishing this story. So as I update my chapters, in each chapter I will announce at the very bottom what adjustments I've made to previous chapters. Every author sees constant flaws as they progress in their writing skills, as they read back on what they've formerly written.
A little side note:

Today, I feel…
I feel like I'm dreaming
…Maybe…

None of them spoke. The heat of the campfire slowly died, and yet the eyes surrounding it remained motionless, dead. An aged warrior, a beautiful summoner, a beast-human, a female magician, a petit thief, a sporty blitzball player, and at last a young warrior. Every one of them stared blankly into the pit of flames, the embers fluttering up like bats, until they died into thin air. The young man quickly stood up from his seating position, turning around as if to walk off. Instead, he stopped where he was, and stood there for a minute. Gently, he placed his hand upon the young summoner's shoulder. She smiled wearily, staring at the ground in a calming sense, noticeably comforted by his reassurance.
Barely able to let go of the lady's shoulder, he continued on as his hand slid off her shoulder, climbing up the small hill right beside the campfire, using every muscle in his legs to do so. He was merely several feet above everyone else, only he gazed in the opposite direction, slowly consuming the breathtaking view being held before him. His bright golden-colored hair angled outwards slightly as his short hair spiked downwards, clearly pairing with his vibrant blue eyes.
The sky above held a pale goldenrod color as the sun begins to call it off, though the astounding view before him, nothing but several miles of ruins. A city so majestic, it makes one wonder how it became to be so dead, so motionless, and so brown in color. Floating around as if air was water, several hundred balls of light slowly swerved and weaved inside and above the city, every which way and that, forming little tails of colored light of which held bright colors within their watery presence. He gazed deeply, standing before his, and all the others', destiny. Only recently finding out what the others knew all along… how could he let this happen? With either path that was chosen, he, as well as everyone else, would be left heartbroken and devastated. He closed his eyes…
Listen to my story. This… may be our last chance…

A/N:
Yeah, I'm sorry for such a short length. Chapter 2 will be up shortly. Well… it depends how long I decide to make my chapters. If you have an opinion then you better let me know now, so I can make them short and quick, or long and well… long. This is going to be… one… long… project. Reviews motivate me to finish them, you know. ;) Read this story, review, and I might just read your stories, and review on them, too!
Aaand, until next time… Miharu, logging out.
