Reccomended Game Fanfiction

Honestly, damn near every single thing was colluding for Zack surviving. And yet he-barely- did not.

Cloud was almost conscious- he could kill the three troopers. Turks were almost there, with orders to save both of them. Zack was moments away from rolling
Great Gospel before his reels shattered
which would have saved him. Not to mention that it was 3 low-ammo grunts in the very end. If Zack had a lighter sword, he might have also survived. That one's iffy- smaller sword means he's significantly less exhausted using it, but he can't use it as a shield as much.

There was a couple of other things as well, but I can't remember them.




Also, none of those people you just mentioned were straight up main characters quite like Aerith was. Let's be honest, pre-Aerith's death it was pretty much the story of Aerith and her bodyguards, from Cloud's point of view. And we were already aware Cloud was a biased narrator at that point. It wasn't till her death that the party actually went 'Stop at all costs'-mode.

Whut? Galuf is absolutely a main character. He's the third party member, the most hot blooded of the characters, the most plot relevant during the second act... and his death marks the biggest turning point in the scenario.

Wasn't his death pretty much at the end of the game though, and a heroic sacrifice at that?

I was pretty sad when Shadow committed suicide in the game with Terra. And Cid, if you screwed you getting him the right fish...

And Vivi, going by the end of FF9.

I'd say Tidus, but he came back one game later. Auron was awesome to the end.

Oh, and Cissnei's Path updated.

Midgame. Could be the exact midpoint or the two-thirds marker depending on your sidequesting.
Losing Galuf didn't hit as hard because the game immediately provide you with a carbon copy replacement. That kind of take away from the event.

I don't know if Pokemon is still considered a game or anime thing. But oh shit boys, double whammy today:

Traveler updated to chapter 38, and I'm just happier and happier with this fic after every updated. The beginning is not very good, but I was told to stick it out and it's so worth it. Highest recommendations for this story, which is about Ash, a socially-stunted, workaholic, plaything of destiny, and the very fine line he walks in a pretty terrifying Pokemon world. It meshes ideas from all Pokemon universes and creates extremely interesting characters and history for the setting. I also hope to influence the author into making astronaut Alakazams a thing.

Pokemon: The Origin of Species also updated to chapter 32, and I'm not as crazy about it, but it's a very different direction on the Pokemon story with interesting world-building, and unique characterization. I don't particularly care about the "rational" movement, and the attempts at a clinical tone are trying too hard at times, but that doesn't detract from too much IMO.

On the topic of FFVII Crisis Core and Zack, I saw a few new chapters of the sequel to Reduced to Specimens have been coming out, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to care. The gorn and extended psychological anguish became boring very early in the story, but... it's still going. The "Zack lives" subgenre is huge, and can produce good stuff, but it usually doesn't. The time-travel stories that bring Cloud back to Crisis Core era are almost always better IMO.

Both links lead to the same story.

I'm going to recommend a story for Darkest Dungeon called Welcome Home. For those unaware of what Darkest Dungeon is:

[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHaUrSJdjIc[/video]



Story Summary: Eldritch horrors and evil men may abound, but in the shadow of the Darkest Dungeon, they are hardly the most dangerous beings to walk this land. Who can anyone trust in this tainted realm?

My Summary: Basically you get a 3rd person view into the characters of Darkest Dungeon as they make their way towards the hamlet, settle in, and then venture into the tunnels of the eldritch horror while dealing with their personal issues. The highwayman is only in it for coin, but has to deal with a religious crusader who only barely holds a higher opinion of the former, a bounty hunter seeking out the former because he left him for dead in a mines years ago, and the Lovecraftian horror inside which takes delight in the thought of using them to bring about the apocalypse. The writing is fairly vivid and I find it darkly entertaining.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12157715/1/Daily-war-with-monster-girls

With the help of the highly-motivated extra-species in the military, mankind holds their own against the brutal onslaught of the Covenant. In their haste to close the gap in space warfare, ONI stumbles upon Relay 314. Even as new enemies arise, the galaxy constantly thwarts Cortana's schemes to build the Master Chief the ultimate harem. Halo/Mass Effect/Monster Musume crossover.

This is great so far. Never thought a combo like this would work, but the author plays it straight.

The premise makes me cringe. Is such a Mass Effect story really worth reading? And why would Cortana even want the hero to have a harem..?

I've started a new Pokemon fanfic based off the Sun and Moon game: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12313542/1/A-Lily-Blossoms-In-Kanto

Summary: Lillie's adventure in Kanto to become a Pokémon trainer begins with an attempted kidnapping in the Sevii Islands while reconnecting with her mother, Lusamine. Not the best start, but she's still determined to become a great trainer even as things left in Alola start following her into the wider world and a new villainous organization sets its eyes on them.

The story is much better than the summary.

I have a pair of wonderful Mass Effect/Worm crossovers for you guys.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10949432/1/Exiled
In a world of super powers, anything can happen. A young girl can gain special abilities from the ashes of the most tragic event of her life. A man who lost everything might find a place for himself. Looking back, I sometimes wonder what would have happened had we never met. While I'm sure a lot of people would have preferred that, I have never been one of them.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11228925/1/Gatecrash
The continuation of Exiled. The crew of the Exiled have made the choice to leave everything behind to save a fallen friend before the events that led to his arrival on Earth Bet. Taylor along with her friends and fellow villains, leap into a risky, and one way, crossover to rejoin Sebastian, but this time in his reality to aid in his war with the Reapers.
 
Why are they all girls?
By: Arrixam

Chase Rolan is dragged out of his world to go on some adventure straight out of an RPG. He must assemble a team of little girls, travel long distances with these little girls, and train them to pummel other little girls. There's singing, dancing, too much squeaking, catfights, questionable sexual innuendo... and blood. There will be blood. (MoeMon Universe!)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12393873/1/Why-are-they-all-girls

Hilarious fish out of water story with a villain protagonist pretty much. It made me laugh so hard.

That looks like garbage, who's recommending that kind of shit on TFF...

The funny thing is that it DOES change things. Bookmarked for later.

For a second, I thought those were crossovers with Worms, the Team 17 turn based game.

Which would have been impossibly awesome.
 
Found a criminally ignored FFT fic

A mercenary Ramza is unraveling the plot against Ivalice with the help of Gafgarion and his daughter. Good read so far that is updating regularly.
