FINAL FANTASY XXI

Yeah, for some reason, I am obssessed with creating the entirety of a Final Fantasy game on my own. I have no idea why, but this will randomly happen with all of my favorite video game franchises somewhere down the line, so it's unsuprising.

Anyways, just so that you can point and laugh at me for being dumb, I want to tell you a little bit about it. FFXXI takes place on a continent of 13 different statehoods, each with their own government. The entirety of the human population is female. Somewhere in the past there was a war that wiped out all of the males...I'm still deciding if it was an estrogen uprising or something else. Obviously, they found a way to solve the reproduction problem.

The women of this world come of age at 17. When they do, a ceremony is held in their honor. At this ceremony, they receive a special name that reflects the nature of their soul, which they keep secret from everyone but those that they trust. They also get to choose a persuasion, which is my idea of gender without gender. There's the Dominant persuasion and the Submisant persuasion, and they sound just like they are. There's nuances and stuff associated with that, but I'll just keep all that to myself.

The story is about a 32-year-old female warrior in service to the Princess of the Barcelone Queendom. Ten years ago, she had fallen in love with a girl who was betrothed to a princess of another region. They eloped and tried to run, but unfortunately the girl was killed. Anyways, the main character is now in love with this princess, but in a political move, she's getting married. And the person she's getting married to is the princess to whom her previous love was engaged to. So it's silly and stupid but for some reason I like it.

...So yeah. Let the making-fun-of commence.
