Here is my own original Final Fantasy fic for you all. I'll try to make it
enjoyable to read for you all.
Here's a little background where I got the idea for this fic. I recently played .hack(I don't own the rights to it) and the online game they play is called "The World" so that is where the title and stuff came from just to let some of you know.
I also don't own any of the Final Fantasy owned stuff either.
Final Fantasy: World
It was a usual day for me. It was almost summer time and this was the last day of school. It was supposed to be fun and happy, right? Not when you have finals and crap.
I'm Eliot and I'm 17 years old in the 11th grade. I'm a big fan of RPG's especially Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series. I own all the versions of it for everything it's available for.
It's the year 2024. Squaresoft has been making Final Fantasy's and other RPGs for years. Fans everywhere were crushed when we learned that Final Fantasy XXV would be the last one they'd make. Fans were mad but they bought the game and played it. The ending was sad mainly because of the game and because it would be the last game they'd make.
I had beaten it a few days earlier and I loved it. I hadn't beaten all the sidequests yet but I had plenty of time to do since no more Final Fantasy.
This final was going very slowly. I'd pass it at least but I couldn't concentrate knowing my summer would be boring just playing Final Fantasy's I've beaten dozens of times again and again.
After finishing my final and driving home I found a letter addressed to me from Squaresoft themself.
"What the hell? Why would Square send me something?" I said opening the letter. It wasn't addressed to me just "Final Fantasy Player"
I read it to myself and it contained valuable news. It told me that a new Final Fantasy was being made. They said they only announced 25 as the last one to hype fans for this one. They called this new one "The Fantasy to end them all" which I thought sounded strange. Why do that?
It was going to be an online game much like XI was but better. It would have an entire world to explore and it would be fully interactive with a pair of headgear. It was a virtual reality game. I was getting more interested.
The letter also said that it would be expensive to buy but if you owned at least 20 Final Fantasy games you'd get a big discount. I owned all of them ever made from 1 to 25 so this made me feel a little relieved.
It would be available tomorrow and it told me where to pick up a copy. I was hyped. This would be interesting.
The rest of the day passed with me playing some of FFXXV and then I ate dinner with the family and slept.
When I awoke I got myself prepared to pick up this new Final Fantasy the letter told me about. It was at a local electronic store and the crowd outside was huge. They must have gotten the same letter. Somebody was standing on a platform in front of the store with a megaphone shouting to the people.
"We'll call your names out when its your turn to get your copy! Please stay in an orderly manner." the man told us.
I waited for a little over an hour and finally my name was called. "Eliot Ogami!" he called. My last name sounded Japanese but I didn't look it. My father is American and my mother is Japanese. But anyway I went inside.
They directed me to a back room where a man sat behind a desk. He wore a dark suit and dark sunglasses. He was Japanese by the looks of him, but it was hard to tell that kind of thing. He motioned for me to sit in the chair in front of him.
"You must be Eliot Ogami. Correct?" he spoke in an asian accent.
"Yes." I said softly. I was a little nervous.
"My man is Ryu. I work for Square Enix and would like to say we are impressed with your determination with our Final Fantasy series. You own all the versions made." Ryu told me.
"How do you know that?" I asked surprised he would know that.
"We at Square have gone to great lengths to find out about our fans. We wanted this game to shine. Here is your copy." he said snapping his fingers as another man stepped from out of the shadows of the room with a large box in his hands.
"That's pretty big." I said amazed at the size of the box and the artwork on the box. It was like on giant Final Fantasy battle taking place on it.
"It contains the game and all the equipment needed to play. It's not only just a game it comes with the gear needed to view everything. I hope you enjoy it." Ryu told me smiling.
"For free?" I asked with amazement.
"Yes, we have admired your commitment to the series and this is a reward." he said smirking a little. I took the box and left the back way.
I ran home to get this baby started up. Inside the box was what looked like an entire gaming system and there was this helmet and a series of cables attached to it as well as a keyboard and monitor. After following the instructions, incorrectly at first, I finally managed to set the thing up in under two hours.
I turned the monitor and the cube on. The registration screen appeared on the monitor.
"Enter character name........." it displayed.
"Eliot." I said as I typed it in and hit enter. Another series of questions popped up too. Like appearance, age, race, height, weight, stuff like that. Then came the Fantasy questions.
"Character Class?" it displayed. Then a series of choices appeared from Knight, Fighter, Monk, even some new ones that I didn't know much about. Then I spotted an interesting on.
"Gunblade Specialist? Man that's so old school!" I said to myself picking it. Gunblades weren't featured since Final Fantasy 8 and that was years ago.
My character appeared onscreen wearing a white shirt with a blue jacket that barely reached his waist and had short sleeves. He also wore black cut off gloves and had a series of belts around his waist over his black jeans. He wore black combat boots and had messy looking brown hair and sunglasses resting atop his forehead. He looked a little like me.
Then after the rest of the registration it told me to put on the helmet and sit back in a comfortable chair. I did so and placed the helmet over my head. It covered my eyes and everything then a sudden shock hit me.
It vanished in a moment but then I stood in some kind of room with a bed and a bunch of gear lying around the small little room. I saw a gunblade propped against the wall and it looked like a revolver type gunblade, which was Squall's default weapon.
I saw myself in the mirror and the character I created was staring me in the face. This felt so real as I felt my arms and face. I guess the game starts now.
