Final Fantasy I/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* ''Comments'': The characterization of the Light Warriors is very nice without simply aping 8-Bit Theater, especially [[The Woobie|the Black Mage]]. But most of all, it examines the game's headache-inducing Time Loop and ''makes it understandable.''

** I'll second this nomination. It's certainly not the most well-written thing in the world, and the occasional use of all-caps for emphasis can get a little jarring, but as a story goes it does a pretty good job of coming up with a decent overarching plot from what in the game was pretty much "restore the Crystals." It also gives a nice set of personalities for the characters that one can use instead of the 8-bit Theater ones. The one thing I didn't like so much is that it uses the NES names and appearances for everything, which can be pretty jarring for someone (like me) used to the GBA version.

*** I'll third it. The writing is above average, though nothing special, and it uses basic fantasy hero archetypes for the most part. There's [[The Medic|White]] [[Drop the Hammer|Mage]], the [[Idiot Hero|Brave]] [[The Hero|Knight]], the [[Fragile Speedster|agile]] [[Our Elves Are Different|Elven]] [[The Lancer|Thief]], and, finally, as mentioned above, the [[The Woobie|Black]] [[Playing ~~With~~ Fire|M]][[Shock and Awe|a]][[An Ice Person|g]][[Glass Cannon|e]]. Overall, a good, solid story. And the ending isn't all that bad, although it does {{spoiler|throw out the whole 'no one remembered them' thing, taking out what was originally a [[Bittersweet Ending]]. Oh, also, BM hooks up with the Element of Fire.}} It really shines for the first half, though, when all the character development is still under way. Though, one last thing to mention, Bikke [[Took a Level In Badass|is suddenly]] [[Crazy Awesome]]. [[Inferno 232]]
