After KHII, I'm not unconvinced that Nomura is just winging it with each successive entry in the series.
Confirmed. He writes the story with intentional plot holes to be explained in later games. Thing is, he doesn't fill those plot holes until it's time to write the new game.
 
I'm not sure, but he may not be doing that with KH3, as it's supposedly the end of the Xehanort saga.
 
Been playing the rerelease of bastion on the vita. Been feeling nostalgic for Bastion material so here's a solid writer who specializes in bastion fiction https://m.fanfiction.net/u/4244535/TheMancer

A bit late, but Cissnei's Path has updated after a month-long hiatus, mostly handling Nanaki's past and what's happening in Midgar with Elmyra and Reeve.

I don't know about P3, but P4 has one with Fate Stay Night called Fate Reach Out: Here

Starting Fates made me go back and look at Fire Emblem Awakening's fanfiction. I've found a few that people should like, that are not the super anthologies The Cruel Mother's Gift and Grimaspawn, timelost psychotics, etc.

In no particular order, House on the Hill is a comedic story where Robin breaks every last rule of horror and then decides to split his group of explorers up. And that's not even his last mistake.

Another Again is an elseworlds idea where Robin slays Grima and wakes up in that field again... except things aren't matching up with his memories.

She's from a mobile game in Japan...and I think she was in that PSP game that starred Zack as a cameo or something.

She's a Turk from Crisis Core and the mobile game: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cissnei

The fic basically picks up at the end of Crisis Core, after she helped Zack and Cloud get away on her motorbike and the Turks went out to find them too late. Since she never appeared in the game (which came out before the prequels), the author wrote in that she had been dismissed from the service when they stumbled across Zack and Cloud, taking the latter with her to Gongaga in reference to an event mentioned in the games about a young woman who visited Zack's parents (as she had been doing while they were both in the mako baths). From there, FFVII kicks off and it's doing a bit of good world-building and character development.

Thanks folks!

Hmm.. now I'm wondering about the FF7 spin-offs and how much I don't give a damn for them...

Is it worthy to read the fic if your only FF7 besides the original was the Advent Children movie and Dirge of Cerberus?

Fuck yes.

That end was epic as hell.

You know it is coming and it STILL manages to be a great scene no matter how prepared you are.

It's like replaying FF VII. You know what's going to happen. You know she's gonna die.

You're braced for it, and then it fucking rips your heart out anyway.

I wasn't too broken up about Aeris, I'd played FFIV and VI and lost characters I liked a lot better. Crisis Core was surprisingly painful though, I was surprised by how much I'd come to like Zach. Aeris would probably hurt now since I liked her better in Crisis Core.

Eh, it's not so much the death, that happened in games before. It was the long, drawn out facerubbing they did afterwards, and the fact that she was a main/playable character.

iirc, it was the first time you canonically lost a playable character in-game.\, unless, you count losing the main character to time travel in Chrono RPGs.

They already did that in V, though.  Only he went out swinging.
 
Yeah, Aeris wasn't even the first playable character to be lost in a Final Fantasy game. Over half the playable characters in IV (though only Tellah actually dies for good, you don't find out Palom, Porom, Yang, and Cid are still alive for a long while after they're lost to you. To a lesser extent, Rydia and Edward who are believed killed in Leviathan's attack). Galuf in V, Shadow in VI if you don't know how to save him (heartbreaking true story: it's also possible to lose Interceptor through a glitch). A bunch of people in II for the NES if I remember right.

Yeah, one of the things Crisis Core did right was make Zack really likable, which is why his death scene just works even though you know it will come. Which is why I tend to love those fics that try to change things by keeping Zack alive even though most are probably not that good.
