The Final Fantasy Mania! Can't get off my head, even!

Ever since the start of Semestral break, I couldn't stop exercising the thoughts of making a Fan Comic about Final Fantasy! And now that Sem break is over and with X-mas vacation only a few wishful weeks away, I finally said to myself, 'Why not?'




I chose to make a Fan Comic about Final Fantasy XII since this is the nearest Final Fantasy reference I have (my brother's playing it in his PS2 and I can't miss a single story episode of it!). Furthermore, FF-XII is actually, according to most die-hard players and videogame reviewers, the least popular FF franchise because it was a bit tad different compared from its predecessors, emphasizing on how very different the style of the storyline is and the characters having not enough ounce of Super 'oompf' factor in them--except the two Sky Piratical characters, Balthier and Fran, who are the only real stand-out characters in the FF-XII plot.

Anyhoo, even though it was deemed not the most popular game, the gameplay won over me and my brother. But these are not enough reasons for why I want to make a different story about FF-XII.
Since fans of the FF franchise thought FF-XII was not the greatest, I thought maybe a different story would make it the greatest! And also a very different heroic character would make the themes of FF-XII more promising than the young too-archetypal and static Vaan of the FF-XII!

Final Fantasy isn't the first kind of Fan Comic I wanted to do since I was introduced to the world of gaming.

There was Devil May Cry



My plans for DMC were that I make two different stories: one is about Dante's untold teenage years (with Dante sporting the white hair-do, not from the latest DmC plot!) and about the mysterious woman named Bea and her connections to his father's death. The second would be about a mysterious man named Anthony Villert, whose duty is to rescue Dante (from a little after DMC 2 storyline) and escape from the depths of Hell when Dante went there to duke it out with Argosax the Chaos. Anthony is paired with the help from a new hero named Sigmund Cassius, an Immortal man with extensive knowledge of the Demon World, and together they travel to locate the long-lost portal that was used by Mundus himself when he plunged the world into a hellish nightmare to rule it 2xxx or so years ago.

Another work I've been doing is an original fiction entitled 'Bloody Klutzy'. This was influenced because of Twilight, but I'm not a fan of the juvenile fiction that many claim to be a number one work of literature today!
I made the idea of 'Bloody Klutzy' because I wanted to take paranormal, blood and teen-thriller themes in a more wackier, slanderous and upbeat way, make it more 'natural' and 'unnatural' all at the same time! (Good luck with that, though!)

Oh well, as for the makings of my Final Fantasy Fan Comic, I'm still designing the characters, the settings (a lot of research must be conducted!), the title and the story lines to make it totally superb than the last one.
Hope there's still some time to finish all of my Fan Comics and original fiction novel!
