Final Fantasy- Twin Fires

Final Fantasy- Twin Fires is a TV series reboot of the video game Final Fantasy XVI.
It tells the plot from the POVs of the three Alignment Heroes, Joshua Rosfield, Jill Warrick and Ifrit's Dominant, however it completely takes away the silent protagonist Clive/Sophie Rosfield and merges events of every possible path in a story with an ensemble cast.
According to its creators, it's supposed to be "what would have happened if there was no player to choose who wins and loses".
The Ifrit Dominant is male and named Sadafumi Homura, though he counts as an original character instead of an adaptation of Clive (who is the Ifrit's Dominant if the player is female). His looks are distinctly Asian and completely different from both the male and female designs of the Shield, with longer hair, a top knot, almond eyes and flame-like tattoos on the face. Sadafumi is a composite character of both the Shield and the Dominant of Ifrit from the game: he's actually the Archduke's bastard like the Shield (while the Ifrit Dominant had the same mother as the Shield but a different father), but lived as a commoner like the Ifrit Dominant. His mother is named Taeko Homura and is Waloedi in the show, while she was Rosarian in the game. 
== Plot ==
The series starts before the timeskip, at the Archduke's court in the capital of Rosaria. Joshua and Jill have grown up together like brother and sister, although she is a ward from a fallen nation in the north. 
As conspirators attack the capital to kill the Archduke, Joshua is captured by their leader Sadafumi and almost murdered, until he transforms into Phoenix. Sadafumi then turns into Ifrit and the two of them fight each other in a battle so brutal that Joshua is almost dead. He manages to survive, however, and is sent away from home to look for alliances to retake his throne. 
== Characters ==
Joshua Rosfield: The Archduke's son and heir to the throne. After an attack by conspirators, he fought against Sadafumi Homura's Ifrit and awakened the flames of Phoenix. Thought dead, he was forced to flee the kingdom and leave Homura on the throne. He's Phoenix's Dominant and the "Flame of Resurrection".
Jill Warrick: A girl from a fallen northern nation that was brought to Rosaria as a ward. She's like a sister to Joshua. She's Shiva's Dominant.
Sadafumi Homura: A boy who claims to be the Archduke's bastard son and the rightful heir to the throne, and was used as a puppet ruler by conspirators against the Archduke. He grew up alongside commoners and despises nobles, planning to completely revolutionize the system. He's Ifrit's Dominant and the "Flame of Destruction".
Xie Luzai: The leader of the Crystal Orthodox. He is secretly the Dominant of Leviathan, but persecutes other dominants due to self-hatred.
Zheng Seikang: Ramuh's Dominant, exiled from the Iron Kingdom, who lives as a pirate and plans a coup against the Orthodox. Jill assists him. 
Hiroko Sassoon: Garuda's Dominant. 
Masahiko von Kashihara: The Shogun of Waloed. He's Odin's dominant. 
Lucius Iunius Moderatus: The Holy Emperor of Sanbreque.
Nicolaus Iunius Maximus: The Dominant of Alexander and the most powerful Sanbrequen general.
Taeko Homura: A commoner of Waloedi origin who lives in Rosaria's countryside. She's Sadafumi's mother. In the game she's Rosarian. Unlike her game counterpart, Taeko is a single mother and her only son (with the Archduke) is the Ifrit Dominant, while her game counterpart was the mother of both the adapted-out game protagonist (with the Archduke) and the Ifrit Dominant (with her legitimate husband, not existent in the show).
Gilberto Terroni: Titan's Dominant and a member of the Dhalmekian parliament. 
Hiroyasu Nishida: A Waloedi Samurai. While he was an optional party member in the game exclusive to the Ifrit route, in the TV show he's one of the closest allies to Sadafumi.
== Setting ==
Valisthea―A Land Blessed in the Light of the Mothercrystals.
The land of Valisthea is studded with Mothercrystals—glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty. Great powers have grown up around each Mothercrystal, and an uneasy peace has long reigned between them. Yet now the peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions.
* The Grand Duchy of Rosaria - Long ago, a group of small independent provinces in western Valisthea found strength in unity, and formed the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. After years of relative prosperity, the duchy now finds itself threatened by the spread of the Blight—a threat that, left unchecked, would doubtless usher the realm to ruin. Rosaria draws its aether from Drake's Breath, a Mothercrystal situated on a volcanic island off the coast. The Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire, is enthroned as Archduke when they come of age. It's inspired by the UK.
* The Holy Empire of Sanbreque - Sanbreque is the largest theocratic force in Valisthea. The Empire's holy capital Oriflamme is built around Drake's Head, the Mothercrystal that blesses the surrounding provinces with abundant aether. The people happily take advantage of this, living in comfort and security under the watchful gaze of the Holy Emperor, whom they worship as the living incarnation of the one true deity. The Dominant serves as the empire's champion, taking to the field in times of war to rout its enemies. It's inspired by France and the Vatican.
* The Kingdom of Waloed - Waloed claims the entirety of Ash, the eastern half of Valisthea, as its dominion. The kingdom's control of the continent has oft been tested by the orcs and other beastmen who make their home there, but the current ruler of the realm—the Dominant—has succeeded in quelling their rebellions. Using the power of the kingdom's Mothercrystal, Drake's Spine, this new king has built up a mighty army, with which he now seeks to test the borders of his neighbors. It's inspired by Japan.
* The Dhalmekian Republic - The Dhalmekian Republic is made up of five states, from which the members of its ruling parliament are drawn. Its Mothercrystal, Drake's Fang, is half-hidden in the heart of a mountain range—the republic's control over it, and its aether, securing the obedience of the large part of southern Valisthea. The Dominant of Titan, Eikon of Earth, is installed as a special advisor to parliament and has a significant say in its decision-making. It's inspired by Italy and the Middle East.
* The Iron Kingdom - A small group of islands off the coast of Storm, the western half of Valisthea's twin realms. Here the Crystalline Orthodox, an extreme faith that worships crystals, reigns supreme. The Iron Kingdom controls Drake's Breath, the Mothercrystal that sits at the heart of one of their islands—long a source of contention with neighboring Rosaria. Isolated and aloof from the mainland nations, the Ironblood speak their own language. Orthodox doctrine judges Dominants to be unholy abominations, and any unlucky enough to be born on the islands are executed. It's inspired by the Norse and Chinese peoples.
* The Crystalline Dominion - The Crystalline Dominion sits at the heart of Valisthea, built around the tallest of all the Mothercrystals, Drake's Tail. Many bloody battles were fought for control of this small plot of land due to its strategic importance, till the warring realms finally agreed to an armistice. As part of the peace treaty, the islands around Drake's Tail became an autonomous dominion led by a council of representatives from the surrounding nations—each realm enjoying equal claim to the Mothercrystal's blessing. No Dominant makes their home there.
