Final Fantasy: Rise of Despair
Hello everyone, Nintendogeek01 here. No there won't be a Ron Host appearing in this story because this is not one of my super smash bros. Fanfictions and the author notes won't be my usual comedic author's notes. What you are about to read was inspired by Biggoron, author of A World Embroiled in Chaos and other related titles.
This will be an epic adventure of action, suspense, twists, turns, and love. A story consisting entirely of original characters but using the elements of Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance. So sit back and enjoy this story and without further ado…
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance or related titles. I do however own all the characters in this story and the plot.

Ivalice
In a world very different from ours, a world where harsh deserts, lush forests, dank caves, and live cities and towns coexist, there are the five races. The races form the common people and the government of Ivalice. And most notably, they form the clans. The clans battled for influence, popularity, money, and more often than not for the adventure. The five races contributed the below to Ivalice.
The Humans, the most dominant race in this land of Ivalice, populate every city in this country. Though the majority of the human population is found in Cyril, many form the royal guard and the judicial system in Ivalice. In the clans the variety of magical and physical skills of the humans contribute greatly.
The Bangaa, the large lizard-like race. Although most who refer to bangaas as lizards usually don't live to see the light of day. They are generally temperamental and easily provoked in to battle, but they are also more intelligent with very well adapted senses of smell and hearing. The bangaa are staples in the royal guard for their physical prowess and this has earned their place in clans as well.
The Moogles, the small white ones. Though small and sometimes underestimated, they are most dexterous and skilled mechanists. A few moogles history have contributed to the invention of the revolutionary airship. They are toolsmen, shopkeepers, magicians and physical fighters known for their surprisingly high stamina and resistance.
The Nu Mou, the dog-like wise ones. Peaceful, and enlightened. The Nu Mou are among the most intelligent of all the races. Their magical powers have led to a general understanding of the world and its history. They are usually consulted as advisors within the government and their magical abilities make them an excellent asset to any clan.
The Viera, agile and rabbit-like. They are a beautiful and entirely female race. Their children are born with humans, any female born in to such a couple is a viera and any male born is human. Vieras posses superior agility to other races and are also quite adept at magic, arguably second only to the Nu Mou in magic. They are often used as scouts and support in the royal guard and they help clans in a wide variety of manners.
The government of Ivalice is run by the king of Ivalice. The ones who enforce the law are the judges who deal punishment swiftly, and fairly. A judge always presides over battles between clans to make sure no chaos ensues. Yes Ivalice was in a great age. However two years ago, the late King Ivor VII fell ill with an unknown disease. The royal white mages tried everything in their power, but to no avail. Two years after he fell ill, the disease finally killed him.
It could only be described as panic. Everyone showed worry; the king had left no heir to the throne and such a thing had never happened before in Ivalice's known history. Mild discord started to spread, a few clans tried to keep the peace, but several more tried to spread their influence. Finally the judges came up with a solution. A tournament would be held to any able contestant, the winner would be crowned the king of Ivalice. Immediately people flocked to see this tournament to be held in the capital of Ivalice, Bervenia. Several of them flocked to see who would be crowned king, several more went to compete, yet only one would be able to rule.
But here is where the question lies. Will this king bring a golden age, or will he bring despair?
