spoiler: "Story"

These events occur after Ramza's 'Death'. With Delita stabbed and killed by Ovelia, there was no one to take the throne. Soon, a conflict ensued that threatened to tear Ivalice apart, until 7 knights appeared, calling themselves "The Knights of Order". The Knights stopped the conflict and proceeded to rule Ivalice themselves in "The Council of Order". Peace reigned for a little while in the kingdom of Ivalice. However, when an attempt was made on the life of Ponil Dunra, The Knight of Fate, fingers were immediately pointed around the council, and even at the common people of Ivalice. Soon after, Ponil was stricken with an illness that killed him, and his 18 year old son, Zalge Dunra, was forced to take on the role of the 7th member of the council, as the Knight of Destiny. The attempt on Ponil's life still sparked debate and aggression in the council until War spread over Ivalice between the knights. 6 factions being formed, The Blaze Corps, The Order of the Clouded Sky, The Earthen Domain, The Sea Armada, The Light of Intervention, and The Shadow Brigade. Zalge, the Knight of Destiny, refused to take part in the war. He is suspicious of, and appears to question the legitimacy of his father death to illness, and wants an end to the war. His quest brings him against not only his fellow Knights of Order, but the Previously Disbanded Shrine Knights, A Criminal Conspiracy, and Hordes of monsters.

spoiler: "Chapters:"

Currently, like the original game, I'm splitting my patch's story into 4 chapters. I'll give you the names of the chapters so you can wonder what they are about =D.

Chapter 1 - The Fires of War
Chapter 2 - The Witch's Pyre
Chapter 3 - The Tears of Healing
Chapter 4 - The Phoenix

spoiler: "Quotes:"

Some quotes that I think everyone will love =D

"I didn't do it for you, I did it for me."

"She was standing in the way, can you not see that?"
"-She- was the only one in the council who supported me! We were friends!"

NOTE: As you should have read above, I've eliminated Calculators and added Blue Mages, who, of course, like in other Final Fantasies learn their moves from monsters. But also note that Monster Abilities aren't the only things that can be learned Blue Mage Style. There are other moves that can be learned by certain classes.
Also note that the Mime has also been eliminated, and replaced with the Red Mage. Fear not though, the Red Mage will be a quite powerful class, containing not only Medium level magics, but a few magic attacks unique to the Red Mages.

Update
Well guys, I'm back. I might finish this project eventually. Though because I'm making a whole new storyline and I've lost a majority of my script that I wrote when my old computer crapped its pants and stopped working. I'm sure I can recreate a majority of the script and I think I still have some of it written down on paper somewhere. However right now I'm mostly focused on a game I'm making with RPGmakerVX but I'll be coming back to this eventually so don't worry guys. The Knights of Order will not remain in the grave for a super long time... maybe another year. As much as I'd like to work on this more, my other project needs much more attention then I've been giving it. I mean, my intro into the game looks horrible so I'm rewriting the script which obviously will take some time. And then I can finally get into the bulk of the game which will probably take a year or more to complete. Then there is beta testing it and adjusting all the items and enemies to make the game's progression of enemy difficulty be fairly simple, not really too hard and not too easy on normal battle difficulty (as I do have a script for battle difficulty). So, unfortunately, it will be a long time before I really touch this project again. I'll probably start hanging around the forum more though.

You can't just call people for help immediately.

Yes it is hard to do alone, but if you can't do almost all the work yourself in the first months, this project is better off dead.

[Zalge]

I guess, but I don't know anything about scripting. I know one guy at my school that knows a little about it, but he probably wouldn't help me. I'm more of an artsy/creative guy, not technology xP

I'll try, but I'm probably gunna do mainly writing and sprite making for the first month.

[Asmo X]

Sorry to break this to you, but "artsy/creative" doesn't get anything done. Really, what you're asking for here is for someone to do the vast majority of the work. It's better you find out this project is a complete pipedream nice and early.

Also, welcome to the forums.

[Zalge]

@Asmo X; haha, I guess I better go learn up on scripting then, huh? I'm a bright guy, I'm sure I can figure this out =D

I'll make my pipedream a reality even if it means staying up all night some nights, studying scripting =D

But, for now I'm gunna get the sprites done and write out the dialogue for scenes. If I set my mind to this, I can do it. Sure, I'm only a teenager, but... anything is possible, right?

Also, thanks for the welcome.

^ the right attitude

[Zalge]

Um... Update. Up on the top post... like, in 5 minutes from when I'm posting this message.

[Goomba]

What? How could Delita be 1 shotted by someone in the Princess job? Ovelia's PA growth is far too low for that!

[Zalge]

Uh, in the last scene of FFT Delita is stabbed and he takes the dagger and stabs her right back. Hes in the ruins of a church, who is gunna find someone(granted its their king) bleeding to death in a church in the middle of nowhere? He bled to death, thats how he dies.

[DarthPaul]

Zalge does tell the truth all reports have Delita bleeding to death.

[Goomba]

No way! He could just do like he did before and and wait for the woman closest to him to crystallize, absorb her soul, and then go about his business.

[Zalge]

Absorbing a crystal does not stop bleeding. Absorbing the crystals were a way that restored their fatigue, it didn't mend their bodies. Their bodies were mended after the fight. Delita did not have any bandages on him. See, that also explains why Dycedarg was injured in bed after the attempted assassination. There were dead people all around, but he had to wait for his wounds to heal.

[DarthPaul]

Lol what I meant was official announced by Square Delita died after killing Ovelia. That was not an assumption it is based in fact.

[Zozma]

good, he dead! see I tol you!

[The Damned]

Lol what I meant was official announced by Square Delita died after killing Ovelia. That was not an assumption it is based in fact.

Do you have any link to this official source?

I'm curious for confirmation on anything with regards to FFT's ending.

[DarthPaul]

I am sorry I do not have the link but shall find it. I saw it a while ago with some other cleanup pieces of information.

EDIT: This isn't the article I was talking about but it is good enough to make a point.

http://theexplodingbarrel.com/?p=965

P.s. I hate Delita with a passion because of the way he used every one when he himself didn't want to be used. That type of hypocrisy boils my blood and If I had been Ramza he would have died.....a lot earlier.

[LastingDawn]

Eh? the game completely Contradicts he died. The game's opening even says he went on to lead a Golden Age of prosperity, unless they set up a fake Delita, I don't think they could have done that. A fake Delita also wouldn't have been hero to the people, as Delita was portrayed/

[Zalge]

Hm... did it say WHEN Ovelia stabbed him? While it seems unlikely, it could be possible that the stabbing occurred years after Ramza's "death". Its not very logical... but it might explain things?

[DarthPaul]

We don't know that he didn't lead the golden age of prosperity before his confrontation of Ovelia though.  No disrespect intended of course LD but without a sturdy time line that they don't give us alot is up for assumption and I'm almost positive that I saw a paper on the subject published by Square.  Though to give benefit to the doubt until I find it I won't be too insistent on the subject.

[Zalge]

It could be that he only just lead them in the right direction? Did it say specifically that he lead them directly into the golden age? Hell, theories.
