Author's Note: Concerning Shadowbringers
Hello again everyone, I know it's been awhile but I'm back once again because I wanted to tell you all that I just finished playing the MSQ for Shadowbringers and I'm here to give you my thoughts on the game. Literally, I finished the MSQ about an hour ago and it took me awhile to really come to terms with what I saw and learned. I won't spoil anything here, not yet anyway, but as fans of this series know, and to those who were hoping that I would be writing another stories that follows Claire's journey through the First, I was torn if this series should continue. At the time when I finished Hells Open, Heavens Weep, I couldn't give anyone any real promises because 5.0 wasn't out yet and I had no idea what kind of story we would be dealing with. Though I'm using Claire, my own character, and I did tend to add in scenes that aren't exactly canon, I still want to be faithful to the story and I didn't feel right about promising a story that I could not put any work or passion into if I didn't like it.
Not only that, but it take a lot of time and effort to write just a single chapter and I wasn't sure when or if I would have the time or energy to sit down and work on another long story like these last two. I really wondered if it would be possible to put myself through another long story over the next two years. Yet, I did promise you that I would give a definite answer after playing through the MSQ.
And after careful consideration… I have made my decision...
The story was so good that I could not say no.
There you go. Yes, I am doing another story for Shadowbringers. I am already working on the prologue, which will be pretty short, more or less, while the other chapters may take a while after that because I will need a lot of time to do the outline and dialogue.
As for the story itself, man, that is going to be a tough thing to write because that game was INTENSE! Speaking of which, please be aware, we will be playing through the entire game of Shadowbringers and there will be massive spoilers waiting ahead.
Don't say you weren't warned!
Right, as we continue on with our journey, Claire knows now that the light isn't going to be enough to protect those she loves. She must become a Warrior of Darkness if she wishes to save two worlds. Will the pressure get to her? Will she lose herself in the process? Will she be able to find her happy ending with the one she loves? Or will she be fated to fall before ever reaching that point?
I will be putting up one more author's note for this story when I finish the prologue, just to let you all know when it's up. So I hope that you are all looking forward to it.
Anyway, that's it for now, I hope that you will all be looking forward to continuing on with the journey with Claire Faye. At long last we can officially say goodbye to Stormblood and open the way towards Shadowbringers and the adventure that is coming with it.
