Final Fantasy 10

[anarchic9]

i havent seen this yet and i was thinking about making it my first Fanfic, but i like to be sure about these things.
what if? a Final Fantasy character got blasted back in time instead of Titus getting blasted forward?
the idea is pretty open ended and gives me a lot of freedom as to what could happen (makes writers block less aplicable) i did run into a few road blocks, i am determined to have my first peice be good, not some run on, or amazingly short wanna be drabble, i would like some idea's as to who i would be sending back.
i was thinking lulu could be interesting(i would love to make her think, she always seemed like a dead fish to me, she kinda just...sits their) or maybe i could send rikku, you know, force her to grow up!, anyway, if anyone has any input, i would be incredibly glad to hear it.

Main problem with that is Tidus didn't actually time travel, so how exactly are the mechanics of that going to work?

 

[anarchic9]

true, i was thinking it could work the same as in the games begining, with sin coming to Luca and blasting the place to shreds, then the charcter winds up in the middle of the Zanarkand Blitz pool, stopping Tidus from completing the shot he was about to make in the begging before, this way the story feels relativly familiar to people who have played the game,
ya follow?

 

[zeebee1]

It doesn't work. Tidus is a dream based on the Tidus who lived before. The Fayth can do that becasue they live in the future. There is no indication, or reason, for them to even exist before Sin. They also would have no idea that Sin would come to exist.

 

[Fatuous One]

If that's the case, it wouldn't be time travel, it would be that someone getting zapped into the Fayth's dream world.

Which, by the logic of the FFX world, means that they're dead. :/

 

[zeebee1]

Which can't happen to people who haven't been born yet.

 

[Fatuous One]

...?

I don't follow. Auron can travel to the dream world that the Fayth created. The reasons being because he's dead, and (I believe?) that Jecht carries him to the place... or something. The method behind that point was never really extrapolated on, but there's no real reason why someone else (Lulu, Rikku, etc.) can't do the same if they get killed in an attack by Sin and simply hop on for the ride... or something.

Not actually going to the true, past Zanarkand, but instead the dream world that the Fayth are maintaining. Granted, it would be kind of boring, since nothing would actually happen, but it's possible.

 

[anarchic9]

ok i see what i could do, well one of the characters gets killed, they get taken "along" they wind up in Zanarkand ,
i could make this an AU and explain right away that Tidus isnt a dream.
would that work?

 

[Fatuous One]

i could make this an AU and explain right away that Tidus isnt a dream.
would that work?

Huh?

Uhm... Then you run into the problem that Zeebee was talking about?

Honestly, I don't understand what you mean.





On a side note, before you start writing, you should really work to improve your grammar. At the least, use a spellchecker to go over your posts. It isn't terrible or anything, but you should work on your capitalization and the like.

 

[zeebee1]

What would be the point? Sin wouldn't exist there. Sin was the thing that stopped Tidus from falling apart. Getting rid of Sin is the gaol of any person you could bring there. Without it they would be denied their purpose and would be stuck with angst.

 

[anarchic9]

as for the story, i was thinking, since the charcter would be sent back, they would have knowledge of the future, and might either attempt to stop yunalesca (i would have to send an al bhed back, since they are the only ones who would attempt to stop it),
i wouldn't go into detail about romance, real love has sadly elluded me,
i usually come up with the story line when i day dream or do Photoshop.

true, my grammar is horrid, but im not really trying

 

[Fatuous One]

...

 

[zeebee1]

They didn't know about Yunalesca being the enemy. I think you need to replay the game if your ideas are this flawed.

 

[GenocideHeart]

Zeebee is right. Your idea makes less and less sense the more you explain it, and seems like an unnecessarily complicated mess that has little chance of working. :sweat2:

 

[anarchic9]

ouch.
i will run this by you guys one more time, it is really hard to layout my idea and some how make it, make sense, to you.

i would be sending Rikku back, if i remember the story right, yunalesca made the final summoning to stop sin, after Zanarkand was attacked, upon destroying the sin, the Final aeon becomes sin during the calm, so if Tidus and Rikku can stop the Final summoning, they could break the cycle, that would not be why they would do it, i was thinking they would try to stop Yunalesca, because Rikku is well aware of the fact that Summoners will be sacrificed, since in the game, the Al Bhed are hell bent on stopping the summoners from completing the pilgrimage, wouldn't an al bhed try to stop the pilgrimage from even existing?

Although it is true, Tidus was a dream, he was still part of the past, Tidus becomes a dream when he falls down from the blitz sphere, anyone remember that part, Tidus is about to do the sphere shot, and then sin blasts some kinda magic and it blows up like half of Zanarkand, then tidus grabs on to the edge of..somthing, loses his grip and then falls, then Tidus wakes up in the city, it is my beleif that is the point at which he dies and becomes a dream.

Jecht. being sin, would talk to the faith, and find out his son dies, so he natrually wants to help his son. He definatly has to rush to this decision though, if he thought about it, he would wind up doing what he did in the game, instead of saving his son, also, i know what your thinking, why wouldn't jecht just NOT go back and destroy the place, or at least shoot his "death ray" in the vicinity of Tidus,
that's because im pretty sure Jecht's control of Sin is limited, although he is Sin, yu yevon is the operater, this is all theory however, it wasn't explained very much in the game.

I agree in that the story would be limited, i would probly have to make it a romance, or at least add tid-bits here and their, just to take up space.

I hope I was able to explain the story in an easier to understand mannor.

If the idea still sounds impossible to you, most likely it is due to my explanation, i apologize, and i promise it will all come together to make a great, crack-free Fic.
also, in my fic, i'm going to use correct grammer,
i have a beta, and spellcheck!

 

[zeebee1]

You can't send them back because the Fayth's ability to send dreams is only works in the present. Rikku would be dead in the future, no the past. It can't work because you are giving the Fayth abilities the don't have.

 

[anarchic9]

the fayth's abilities were never discussed in the version i played..
is it discussed in the Japanese version? , if the Fayth dont do it....or yu yevon, lulu could always be experimenting..either way, you guys will see when i get the fanfiction out, i just want to here some idea's about who i should send back..

 

[kingdark]

err i havent played ff10 so my comment isnt on topic, but isnt the point of a fanfiction to change facts and change it into something of your own? if you describe it right, and still rely on certain facts of the game/anime/cartoon or whatever fiction you are writing.

 

[zeebee1]

The he needs to say it is an AU where the normal rules of the series don't matter. The fact is is that unless certain rules or important peices of history are radically changed then what he suggested is impossible. What he said before gave the impression that he thought this was possible as a mere divergence, not an AU.

 

[Ryogas_BF]

Ugh, it always gets complicated when transdimentional physics get involved :rip1:

 

[anarchic9]

*sniffle* it is possible, i just need to exploit certain loop holes, like O.J's defence attorney, can anyone give me some advice as to who i should send back, just too make zeebee feel better, i'll add Slightly AU somewere in the summary.., and nothing will be changed, things will just be made up, since the fayth's abilities are never stated, i'll just write it out like it completely possible,
now does any one have any suggestions as to who i should send back?
