To The Readers

In the immortal words of King Regis: "I fear I have left too much unsaid."

This last chapter is just a sort of thank you to those of you who turned this serial into a modest hit (hey 71 follows is a lot for me, lol). Here is some teasers of what I have planned and some other cool stuff you might be interested in.

Thanks

First off, thanks to everybody who followed and favorited and especially those who left reviews. Some of you have been onboard since I started this thing and rode it all the way through. Special shout outs to the following: Grac3, Aesir23, KuroArget, StunningGhost, that (or those) Guests who've been commenting, LuigiWife1551, Bryler, Fergaze and Kibetha.

Is There More?

I am working on three more pieces that will be part of the same mythos but self-contained stories (the idea is one for each season). Winter Camp combined the literary struggles of Man Vs. Nature, Man Vs. Self, and Man Vs. Man. I would like the trend to continue with these three.

Spring Rains will be focused around the Vesperpool and a massive flooding and torrential rainstorm. The group will also have to contend with the fell beasts of the Myrlwood and Steyliff Grove. There will be less Imperial involvement in this one, but there will be some sort of human opponent, perhaps a rival hunter band - I'm not certain yet.

Summer Breeze will be a trek from Galdin Quay to Cape Caem and might possibly include Altissia if I can find a way to not make it clash with the storyline of the game (which I probably can't). I want to keep these stories lore-friendly. Anyway apart from dealing with summer heat this will be a more lighthearted journey than the other three stories. Kind of a Summer Vacation if you will.

Autumn Twilight I haven't thought too much about but it will serve as a wrap-up for the previous stories while still remaining its own thing. I'm thinking it will either center around Leide or Cleigne (specifically the Rock of Ravatogh area) but again, haven't thought that far ahead.

I Want More Now!

Well I have written other stuff, even other serials. If you want more Man Vs. Nature excitement, I'd recommend you look into my Final Fantasy VIII piece Limit Break. If you preferred the Man Vs. Man, SeeD is the one I'd recommend though be warned it is an AR piece and the ending is a touch rushed. If you like a good mix and happen to be a fan of Wild Arms 3, you should look into Wanted.

I am also slowly but surely working on a novelization of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I have finished a novelization of Final Fantasy VII but since I started writing this thing when I was like 18 (over 10 years ago) it's pretty unpolished stuff. Don't go in expecting anything on the level of S&G or Mr. Ite (both of whom do excellent work and I highly recommend).

So What Did You Think of Final Fantasy XV?

Well without spoiling content, I can say that the ratings it's been averaging of 8 out of 10 is right on the money. The gameplay is phenomenal, and I love the world and characters (obviously). I think there is a great humanity to the main cast and you really feel connected to your bros. The side characters are also great, Cid and Cindy, Biggs and Wedge, Iris, Aranea - each of them has a great little bubble of personality. Also the score and visuals are breath-taking. But the story is severely weak at least as it is right now (and yes, I have watched Kingsglaive and Brotherhood). The story content and DLC that's coming is supposed to help but still. Though I will say I have beaten the thing, played through the final boss and endgame content to the point where I got my main battle cast up to Level 99 and I'm now working my way through a New Game +. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, you gotta do it. And if you haven't I hope this story of mine gave you a little taste of what's in store.

Thanks for reading guys! I'll see you in the next one.
