lol, yeah, ok. I guess you don't know the Final Fantasy formula?
So for instance, I'm going to make Final Fantasy XV. I start by creating a character that has always dreamed of becoming a soldier in the nations army but his mother won't let him. That character is a typical teen who rides a motorcycle, wears dumbass belt buckles all over his clothes, and is named Storm. One day while walking towards the neighborhood arcade with his lifelong female giant-titted friend Jewles, the resistance, Freedom Force, attacks a nearby village. You luckily make it out but find two Freedom Force fighters in the way! You find a downed guards weapon and use it. ENTER TUTORIAL! You narrowely make it out with Jewels and while you both laugh about how awesome both of you were, OMG YOUR MOM GOT KILLED IN THE EXPLOSION! You vow to avenge and destroy the scum Freedom Force. The next day you join the army, Jewels cannot join yet and you part ways. After an elaborate cut scene of you transitioning from a dipshit emo youth to a dipshit emo young adult, Storm finds himself at the graduation ceremony of the nations army. During the ceremony the Freedom Force attacks! Storm uses his newly mastered knowledge of combat and magic to take down the Freedom Fighters that killed his parents. Things start to get hectic but General Chaos comes in and saves you and then orders you to defend the president. On your way you see Jewels but SURPRISE! She's wearing a Freedom Fighters uniform! It's an emotional moment that calls for another elaborate cut scene, you two battle but Storm and Jewels both dont' want to kill or even fight each other! Whatever do you do? Well General Chaos, the awesome man you've admired and learned everything you know from, comes in and attacks! As he readies his killing blow against Jewels, he reveals the nation are a bunch of evil dicks and they will stage more explosions so the people go against the Freedom Force. You stop Chaos but get knocked out. You wake up in the secret Freedom Force hideout where you meet generic black sidekick and your adventure REALLY starts from there. And DONE! One Final Fantasy game written in about five minutes. |
I particularly like #6. I wonder how long it takes them to implement that part of the story? Do they debate for days about how to spell his name and what kind of ship he's going to fly?
I'd like to think that steps #1-5 & #7-10 take less than a week (mainly hashed out over lunch breaks) while #6 is what delays the typical FF game by a year or more.
