Hey all,
School's ended and I've got a ton of free time on my hands so I thought I'd take a run at a parody script for the game. I know that this isn't, strictly speaking, an original idea, but it seems as if the previous attempts have been abandoned and neither of them looked like they got much past the preliminary draft (though admittedly some of philsov's dialogue was quite witty). Anyway, I've written about half of chapter 1 as of this moment, though I'll likely go back and revise it as continuity demands. I haven't made my mind up on some of the characters yet, and I typically like to jump around when writing in other mediums and try to fit it all together at the end (which doesn't seem applicable here) so I imagine I'll go through a number of drafts on certain scenes if it comes to that. I'd also like to do some minor sprite changes (probably only portrait right now) and mess around with some equipment and stuff, but I likely won't go much further than that in terms of complexity. My main goal is to make something funny and satisfying for vets to read through on subsequent plays of the game when they're doing an SSC or something.
More to the point, is there anything you guys would especially like to see? I realize this is lazy writing, but I've been brainstorming ideas for several weeks now and I'm still not completely set as to where I'm headed. Concepts for say, a funny character trait for Zalbag, would be really appreciated, but I'll definitely consider anything. Basically anything you think is funny/could be funny about FFT goes here and I'll credit you if I use it.
P.S. I should probably mention that it's not my intent to go blue on this stuff unless the joke demands it. I don't find swearing reprehensible or anything, I just think it's generally a weaker alternative to, you know, writing something funny. So the plot where Ovelia is a crack-whore and Delita's her pimp, while doubtlessly hilarious, is probably not gonna happen here.
