i think it would be very fun. the main character could be the son(or daughter) of locke and celes. or maybe terra and setzer could have a kid, and they would be in charge. as for my remark on terra and setzer, i for some reason imagine that they would hook up since leo died. strago would be dead by now, and relm could be grown up. gau would also be a grownup by now as well. the other characters would most likely be too old to fight, but ah well. what do you guys think?
maybe some fanfics could come of this!

--------------------

Many Fanfics have come of half those ideas.
I thought that a possible sequel may be about Duane and Katarine's kid.
Of course, I don't think FF should have sequels, so meh

Sequels to final fantasy will never match up to the ones they are based on. That is one of the major reasons I'm having doubts about FFX-2. It would be interesting though to see a remake of Final Fantasy VI. I would probably end up buying one if they did it. But like a said, sequels never match up to the originals.

duane and katarines kid should definitely have an important role...or at least one worth mentioning. i mean, if it went my way, he be like ten. so--okay i guess other characters could be used again. but i understand why people wouldnt want a sequel, but i get so involved in a game(especially the suikoden and FF series') that i want to know how they end up.

--------------------

sorry to double post, but i just saw your response. there quite a few rpgs that sequels bested the original.
breath of fire two
sukioden 2
lunar 2
mother 2(earthbound)
secret of mana(the sequel to final fantasy legends)
the whole phantasy star series improves with each game
shining force 2
okay, thats a few. cant think of too many more. of course, a few of these may be based off complete opinion, but some are admitdly better!

That would be cool. If Duane and Katarine's kid was 10, that'd make Relm 20 and Gau 23. Gau would have probably become more of a normal person by then, perhaps having Sabin as a role model. Terra would be 28. Celes would be 28. Mog would be 21. Locke would be 35. All of these could be playable characters from the original game while a new cast of characters comes along.

Setzer seemed more interested in Celes than Terra but Celes is taken by Locke. FFVI had a lot of single males in their upper 20's. Heh. At least Locke found someone.

:edit: Assuming Locke and Celes get married, they could have an 8 year old kid by then. I don't know what role that kid could play. If the game took place when Duane and Katarine's kid was 15, Locke and Celes' kid could be 13. Then Locke and Celes could retire

I do realize what you are saying noobinator, but I am also talking about chrono cross and chron trigger, legend of mana and secret of mana, the lunar games, and xenogears and xenosaga. I can also see your point of view with Arc the Lad 3 being much better than Arc the Lad 1. It would probably be best to drop this argument.

--------------------

*gleefully drops argument*


okay, i would make it where locke and celes are old enought to retire so that their kid(havent conspired a name) would be 13. i WOULD make terra and setzer hook up(i think i remember them sayin somethin to each other that MIGHT hint to that). maybe they could have a kid the same age, and the two could be best friends. now D&K's kid would be their friend too, but a little older. i like the idea of gau having sabin as a mentor. he would lose his rage ability somewhat, but be able to do some things:
pummel-catsrcatch
firedance-fireball
bumrush-shock
but hed keep things like wing blade and suplex.
cyan would have remarried, maybe. but he would be the king of doma. mog, well i dunno. i dont really like him. so whatever. i think that i would make gogo EXTREMELY important, but i dont wanna reveal how. on shadow

maybe shadow could survive somehow?

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

probably not, but id make a ninja fit in somewhere

edgar would go and play king still, and i might make something between him and relm insue, but i dunno.

what would the plot be about though? kefka is dead. magic is vanquished. case closed.
maybe it would be more of a political strugle, the heros trying to create stability and peace in the devastated world...

How's this for a starter plot. Okay, Kefka's gone, magic's toast and the whole world's coming back to life. La dee friggin da.

The ocean's still polluted, plants and animals still aren't multiplying fast enough to feed everyone and all kingdoms but one are gone. Towns are so weak from the change that happened and the tyranny of Kefka that they no longer can keep the monsters out, so one by one, they are abandoned and mass migrations have begun to the last bastion of hope in the world. The kingdom of Figaro, now called by many, The Last Castle.

Course, there's problems in the land of hope. Simply put, Figaro can't handle the demands being set upon it. The people are up in arms about massive food and shelter shortages and rampant racism against the new immigrants is threatening to tear the kingdom apart. Old Eddie is hauling all kinds of ass to keep everything together, but that doesn't stop him from sending his annual invitations out to the old gang for the dinner they have. Some now have families which also attend and they share news from the world abroad. Only this year, something happens which will change their lives forever...

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN

Yeah, so that's all I got. I'm figuring the young'ns wander around the castle whilst the old gang ramble on about old times and inadvertantly discover a plot against Edgar that will start them on an adventure that will put them in the middle of a revolution. From then on, I leave it to you.

thats interesting for a plot. if i had the talent for writing, id try to set it up so that the story links characters from now, to ff7 and ff8. in these games, magic is non-existant in a sense. it can be used, but not without the help of man. also, the crystals and goddesses are gone.

well..its a thought.

--------------------

once you can accept yourself, you will never be alone

I don't think it necessarily follows that Locke and Celes hook up, and that's the biggest problem I have with sequel attempts in fanfiction--they *always* put those two together as if it were foreordained. (Same with some of the other characters, but they vary a little more.) I think Locke and Celes deserve more developement before you just shove them together and assume they'll reproduce. I guess an analogy would be Han and Leia from Star Wars, who are obviously interested by the end of the movies, but take a couple books and a lot of discussion before they really cement a relationship.

I guess FFVI is one game that I don't think should have a sequel at all. The story is pretty much concluded, so adding more material would either be a random excuse to keep using the same characters, or it would undo what had already happened. FFIV and FFX don't have the same problem as much, in my opinion.

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

Technology reigns again. The new world sucks, so a time machine is invented so our heros can go back in time and stop Kefka from screwing up the world. We meet all of FFVI's characters in their younger forms. Bingo. Kefka's back in a whole new story, we get 2 sets of FFVI characters, we get new characters, and magic is back. After that all 30 characters go back to the War of The Magi and stop that too.

Here's the kicker. At the end, Sabin wakes up! It was all just a dream. Isn't that great!?

I agree with this statement. Given the perfect wrap up at the end of FFVI, I think it would be completely mundane to try to make a sequel. Now FFX-2, I have my doubts on as well, but I think that would be ALOT easier to do considering...

...Tidus's dissapearance is sudden, and not explained to anyone except himself, and to an extent, Jecht and Auron. Yuna's search for answers may be good, but Im curious as to what evil with be present now that Sin and Seymour are gone...

If FFVI were to have a sequel, the only story I can think of that would still be good to follow would be Shadow's, since...

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

...since he just kind of runs off and leaves nothing behind.

I think for the most part the games should just be left alone.

--------------------

I reject your reality and substitute my own...

Well, Karabeth, I guess they could have a few years before the start of the game. But you do have a point. There would need to be some backstory on how they got together. Maybe for part of the game, there's a flashback about it? Hmm. Or a fanfic to read before the game. I'm not sure how well that would work, though.

--------------------

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

or i could do a prequel of ff6, and have it be about the war of magi! thad be kinda cool. i dont think ill have it end with sabin waking up tho. or i could do a short fanfic starring as shadow. but it would be the dream shadow.

you know, when he was still clyde, id figure thad be kinda cool

The story line could not be about the future but moreover what happend before Tera was born. Her father, I forget his name, could be the main character. For the story line, I am not so sure on what to do. They are doing the same thing with Suikoden 4. They are going back to the cursed ruin story. So it can be done. Just a thought .

--------------------

I will be the mustard of your doom!

I remember saying in a post a few years ago that in my opinion FFVI would make the best sequal of the FF games. The reason is that so many things (as in all FF games) are left unexplained. For instance, we could see a return of Gesthal. Of course the most used was that magic somehow returned (cheap plug coming up: i am in the process of a fanfic like that...just to let u know). Personally I would like to see most of the original characters return and evolve the personal relationships more. Hell maybe Kefka cloned himself?! SON OF A SUBMARINER. Maybe if FFX-2 does well, then maybe Squaresoft will consider making sequals to older games.

Hmm, never mind the return of magic, how about the return of people who used to rule the planet... and people who know my ideas will realise where this ones going.

a 40k crossover, either with the Eldar returnign the thw planet to recover their aincient weapons that gave out the magica powers by allowing the 'Daemons' (espers) of chaos to exist upon it.
or the age-old 'necrontyr tomb' thing.
or the even older Chaos Invasion trick.
either way, an alien/chaos invasion would be a nice thing, especially as if the imperium lands to assit the humans, the game could wind up having you question : are the imperials really on the side of the humans on the FF6 planet, or are they wiling to destroy it to prevent thier own worlds falling?

either way, a boss fight Vs a Necron Lord, Chaos Space Marine captain, or Eldar exarch woudl rock... just my first 3 ideas.

the final is my now abandoned fanfic plan, the one with the whole plot 100 years from the end of 6, where the new empire starts a world war, and shuchlike. thread still around somewhere...

Or... Kefka sucked so bad because it wasn't really him!

or maybe because he was a GOD he cant really die. therefore he just had to regenerate his strength in order to come back and terrorize the world again. it could also explain the resurrgance of magic and monsters. although i dont see why monsters would stop because he was gone....

--------------------

i think tryign to avoid magic would be an unusal step that should be taken.

and kefka wasn't a god, just had godlike powers bestowed upon him by the magic.

That is an interesting add on. But I think that would get a little to complex. However, if they did make another ff6 there would have to be magic and summons. Every modern as well as classical final fantasy has this.

--------------------

I will be the mustard of your doom!

well, considering this game completely REVOLVED around magic it would have to be in there somewhere. maybe the world is dying without it, and now the quest takes place to somehow restore it. but i guess that would make it somehow more recent. grr--

--------------------

once you can accept yourself, you will never be alone

lol. Thats funny. Yeah, but that would be crazy what they destroyed they would have to restore.

--------------------

I will be the mustard of your doom!

i think a sequal would be kind of bad since VI did not have a storyline like X when Tidus dissapears.
so VI should not have a sequal there would be too many complications

it was a good thought though, and remember its the thought that counts

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

no no no! im starting to like the thought that they would have to restore what they had previously destroyed. think of the IRONY that produces. also, it doesnt make sense that the world goes back to normal once the gods are destroyed. i mean, the whole world turned to **** because the balance of magic was warped, so the world turns back to normal once magic is completely eradicated? no--that dont sound right! christ almighty i luv this game!

--------------------

once you can accept yourself, you will never be alone

A sequal to this game would be indeed fun to play through, but I think it should remain Final Fantasy 3 with no FF3-2. There should be no sequal to this game because it is a masterpiece in itself and I believe unless they did an insanely good job then it'd just be crap.

*N00binator skipped school today, ya punk.*

Okay, now that that's said ....

NO SEQUAL .. BAD BAD BAD!

Squenix needs to keep making new games with new storylines and try to best this game, not add on to it. I like FF3 as it stands, don't add anymore storyline to it.

i think it is pretty obvious that locke and celes hook up at the end of the game.
most of their characters storyline is devoted to their developing love.

look at celes on solitary island, who regains her will to live because a bandana gives her hope locke is alive.
and at the end of the game doesn't she say something like, 'locke promise me you'll take care of me someday'?
