Chapter One: Foreword - Ill Try To Be Brief, But No Promises!


Hello everyone, and welcome to my first fic, entitled Final Fantasy X Trials Of The Dark Warrior. This fic will be a Final Fantasy/Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover type, with characters from both Final Fantasy and Yu-Gi-Oh! involved in the fic in some way.

But just to get this out of the way... I dont own Final Fantasy or Yu-Gi-Oh!

The setting of this fic will be on Spira, centered on the events on Final Fantasy X. With that in mind, I will be using the ingame dialogue from FFX, but depending on the circumstances, that may be changed or have bits added onto whenever necassary. But with the typical crossover twist, there will be quite a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh! based goings on involved. Several unique storylines as a result will take place along the way with quite large consequences for the main storyline.

Now a word on spoilers. THERE WILL BE LOTS. Pretty much enough said really, so for newcomers to both franchises, or for people that are playing Final Fantasy X or are watching any series of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, 5D's & Zexal then I will warn you now that there will be spoilers for the whole lot. Ive looked at the entire plot base for the story ive got planned and there is simply no way around it, so apologies in advance if I spoil anything for anyone!

In regards to the Yu-Gi-Oh! aspect of the story, that means that there will be some duels along the way. For anyone who has never watched the anime, or played the card game, I suggest that you scoot on over to the offical Yu-Gi-Oh! site where you can find some basic rules on how to play. Ill be trying my best to make things as clear as possible in duels for people who are just FFX fans who are reading this, so hopefully I wont confuse people as to whats going on in the duels. But if you read over a duel and still arnt sure how its done, then like I said, it might be better just to check the offical site for some background info.

In regards to what I do own, firstly I own the character that will take the lead in this story, as well as all other original characters of my own creation that will pop up along the way. Original cards used in duels I take credit for the idea for them, all cards used that are my creation will be mentioned as my idea, all other cards otherwise mentioned should be credited to the writers of the various Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

By the way, I dont own Final Fantasy or Yu-Gi-Oh! Best to say it twice to be sure :)

Ive put the content rating as T as there will be more mature content coming into the story from time to time, particulary in terms of violent aspects that will come into ive come to read, reviews would be more than welcome! Give me some impression someone was reading this fic at least. If you want to review, please keep it constructive, no open bashing please! Be nice, this is my first fic. But all constructive criticism will be taken onboard for use in future chapters.

Well I think that covers everything! Onto the fic!
