Djibriel has once again submitted a fanfic for the Final Fantasy VI section, called The White Cloaks.

Using a character that is often ignored, his fanfiction is a skewed look at an event that happened in-game, with very damaging results to many. Short and creative.

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys.

Although it wasn't the main idea behind the initial story, I personally like the effect it has on your look on 'our heroes'. The game makes it so easy to assume that you're the good guys rather then 'people'. But is that really true? A lot of the fights you engage are triggered by your own actions (Atma, for instance, is not a necessary battle by any means, and he doesn't do anything hostile unless you attack him), and 'our heroes' have no problem with killing/attacking people just because they annoy them or they get items for it (Colloseum).

So basically, the general attitude of 'our heroes' isn't very thoughtful, but rather rash and agressive. I think pointing that out was a nice move, and I might include more of this idea in later work.

All that remains is me saying: "By all means, follow Zephir his advice", and enjoy doing so.
