Wutai has been a thorn in the sides of the powerful for two long. Their fighting spirit must be broken.
There was a theory way back when that the first thirteen or so Final Fantasy games all took place between the end and the beginning of Final Fantasy I, during the time loop. That you can track the world falling apart from XIII all the way back through II. I remember reading a couple essays about it (no idea where they are now or if they still exist) and I wanted to play with that concept a bit, so here we are. This one's going to take forever...
Along the way with me for this journey is Meeps123h, who will be providing the cover art and the interior art in chapters to come. If you like what you see there, make sure to check out his page, shout some thanks his way, and maybe get a commission from him. Dude has some incredible art and some amazing things planned.
Preview art is from the official artbook.
