Final Fantasy Legion

Final Fantasy Legion (stylized as FINAL FANTASY Legion) is an author appeal project conceived by PugScribe. It is a mega-crossover of the Final Fantasy franchise that stars over 80 playable characters, and the player is encouraged to build their “dream team”. Legion plays like a traditional FF game, with graphics and aesthetics based on the Super Nintendo titles. Its lore and world are completely separate from the mainline games and opt to change characters’ backstories to fit in a singular narrative. Even though the project is made with fans in mind, it is also accessible to FF newcomers. Many characters are encountered and recruited during the main story, but most must be found by exploring the world. The plot follows an army of people—called the Returners—rebelling against an emperor who is draining the land of its life force.
==Gameplay==
Overview: Final Fantasy Legion is a traditional FF RPG. The player places up to seven Returners in their party—four in the frontline, and three reserves that can be swapped in. Characters can use the following commands during battle: [Attack], [Magic], [Skill], [Special], [Defend], [Item], [Switch], and [Escape]. The battle system uses Final Fantasy X’s CTB (conditional turn-based battle) system, wherein a character’s speed determines how often they get to take turns. The first 1/3 of the game is fairly linear, but once the airship is obtained, the player can do whatever and go wherever they want. The player unlocks new Returners by meeting them in the main story, completing sidequests, fulfilling certain requirements, or simply finding them & talking to them.
Character progression: The Returners have eight stats—HP, MP, Strength, Magic, Defense, Mag. Def., Agility, and Luck. Because of the game’s open-ended nature, it foregoes traditional levels. Instead, each character has their own skill tree called an ability grid. Winning battles gives grid points (GP) to the character, which the player can then spend to unlock nodes on the grid. Nodes raise the character’s stats, teach them an attack, and unlock a support ability. Every ability grid starts at the center, allowing the player to go whichever direction they want. Maybe they’d want to go straight for new attacks, or perhaps they’d want to focus on stats first? Non-party members get 50% GP at first, but after the player recruits 35 Returners, that percentage increases to 75% (this applies to Returners who haven’t been recruited yet).
Materia: Returning from Final Fantasy VII is the materia system. Materia are items that—when slotted into weapons, armor, and accessories—grant the holder new attributes, such as skills, specials, summon attacks, new/upgraded magic spells, and increased stats. Winning battles gives ability points (AP) to the materia, which levels it up once it gains enough. Depending on the type, leveling up the materia 1.) increases its potency, 2.) allows the user to use the granted ability more times, and/or 3.) upgrades the ability. Because the game wants the player to build their dream team of characters, this system is perfect if the party doesn’t have a magic user, summoner, etc.
Party leader: After the player obtains the airship, party makeup is completely unrestricted, with one caveat: there must be a party leader chosen from a pool of 19 characters (the protagonists of the mainline games, plus some extras). These characters are the “focal point” of most conversations and take the narrative focus. They appear on the field at all times. The game still has party conversations, as well as special scenes depending on who is in the party (for both leaders and non-leaders).
