Final Fantasy - Origin Series

"The Darker Side to the games"

Concept
My Origin Series concept is for a prequel range of visually stunning games taking a player through a secondary characters story. Usually prequels show main characters histories to how the original came to show, however I believe the secondary characters are so intriguing and carefully thought out that they hold to the key in the original games success. The Origin series celebrate these great characters and after carefully picking out the characters, I believe their stories will shape up to be a fantastic game collection. All the stories have been given a slightly darker history behind them to enhance their character profiles in the original games. I believe that these stories would truly be a wonderful addition to the Final Fantasy series. Welcome to the Origin Series...


Graphics
My beliefs for this and the other origin series of games I am planning, is a visually stunning and beautiful game. PS4, Xbox One and PC now have the capabilities to run outstanding graphical capabilities. I’d want these games to showcase the high-end gaming graphical capabilities of all systems. Outstanding environmental details to fully engulf the player into the game’s world. Characters with almost perfection in detail on looks and enhanced detailed clothing. I cannot emphasise the importance of the graphical expectations of gaming nowadays.

Gameplay
I’m a big fan of the old ATB battle styles however these stories are about a single characters story. Even though there are many characters along their journeys, it is still their stories. Due to this I have designed the games as a third person style, controlling them with camera behind them and fighting style very similar to “Kingdom Hearts” with abilities and spells learnt as character level’s progress and combo attacks. Also in the games, “Stealth” modes are used. I believe that the Origin series should all keep the same controls. To summarize the gameplay is fast paced, with skill required to manoeuvre through “Stealth” modes and combat styles.
