Final Fantasy is a series of more than thirty console RPGs and two MMORPGs. Though each story in the series is independent, there are numerous recurring themes and elements such as airships and bright yellow avians, well-known monsters and heroic save-the-world storylines.
Originally inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, the Final Fantasy series has grown to take on a flavor all its own. It has become a setting in which the fundamental well-known limits of human capability are casually ignored, where a villain’s strength can be measured by their androgyny and size of their hair, and where only a ragtag team of heroes universally under the age of thirty are competent (or incompetent) enough to make a difference. These are stories about good versus evil, twisted technology and heroic perseverance, duality, self-sacrifice, camaraderie and love, and taking on truly legendary enemies with your eight-foot sword and magical umbrella.
The Final Fantasy series has spanned dozens of worlds – from Ivalice, the multiracial land of mercenaries and adventure, to Cocoon, the artificial planet nurtured by psychopathic ancient constructs – and rarely do any two of these worlds operate under the same laws. Some feature magic that slowly chips away at the minds of those who use it, and in others death is little more than a minor inconvenience. As you can imagine, this means that creating a universal set of rules, one that covers everything from the entire Final Fantasy series, is simply impossible – and ignoring this fact would be irresponsible and downright chaotic at best. To resolve this, there's a settings tab that contains brief summaries of some of the most common Final Fantasy games and their worlds, suggested adventure ideas, and a repository of additional rules to help set your tabletop campaign in a pre-existing universe.
That said, this website was designed to give you and your friends a chance to explore your own stories, with your own heroes, and very often, in your own unique Final Fantasy world. Whether your campaign will be set in a familiar place….or whether it will be set in a post-apocalyptic city where the last memories of the deceased are immortalized as whispering magical crystals….well, that’s all up to you. Are the heroes tied together by virtue of ancient prophecy or are they childhood friends? Are they a crew of gentlemen airship thieves or forced into an uneasy alliance by the outbreak of war? This is a chance to let your creativity shine.
