An interesting OC for a Final Fantasy 12 fanfiction could be a beast - tamer. This character could have the ability to communicate with and control the various beasts in Ivalice. They might start off as an outcast because of their strange power but then become an important figure as they use their skills to help in battles or in exploring dangerous areas. For example, they could tame a powerful flying beast and use it to reach areas that are otherwise inaccessible, and in the process, uncover secrets about the world of Final Fantasy 12.
Well, you could make an OC that is a merchant who has discovered a secret trade route that leads to a hidden land full of rare items and powerful magic. This could get them involved in all sorts of adventures as different factions try to either protect or take over this new discovery. Also, an OC who is a young healer that discovers a new form of healing magic that is connected to the long - forgotten gods of Ivalice would be really cool. They could then be on a quest to learn more about this magic and its origins.
One idea could be to create an OC who is a mage from a long - lost tribe in Ivalice. They could have unique spells that are based on ancient tribal magic. Another idea is an OC that is a sky pirate with a mysterious past, perhaps related to the great airships of the game. Or an OC that is a knight trying to restore an old code of honor in a time of political unrest in the game's world.
A great plot idea could be an OC that is a former villain who has seen the error of their ways. They now try to redeem themselves by helping the heroes. For example, they might have insider knowledge about the plans of the main antagonist. Another plot could be an OC who is a healer with a very unorthodox method of healing. They are initially scorned by the traditional healers but prove their worth during a major battle. Also, an OC who is a thief with a heart of gold, stealing from the corrupt nobles to help the poor and then getting involved in the main story's quest could make for an exciting fanfiction.
Maybe an OC who is a former Shinra scientist but turned against them. They have knowledge of secret projects that tie into the events of Crisis Core. They team up with Zack to expose Shinra's wrongdoings, adding a new layer of mystery to the story.
One idea could be creating an OC who is a skilled mechanic from a far - off planet. They could join the crew of the Galaxy One and use their unique mechanical skills to fix and upgrade the ship in ways that the others can't. Maybe they have a special tool that was passed down in their family for generations.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the minor characters. For example, the SeeD trainees who don't get much spotlight in the game. Another could be a 'what if' scenario, like what if Squall and Rinoa didn't end up together? It could also be interesting to write about the world of Final Fantasy 8 from the perspective of an ordinary citizen living in one of the cities, dealing with the sorceress wars and the chaos that ensues.
A great Naruto Final Fantasy fanfiction idea is to combine the magic systems. In this story, shinobi could learn to use Final Fantasy - style magic, like black magic for offensive spells and white magic for healing. Or perhaps a plot where the Akatsuki is after a powerful crystal from the Final Fantasy world that could grant them ultimate power. Also, a fanfic about a character from Naruto traveling through different worlds of Final Fantasy, facing the challenges and enemies in each world.
One idea could be a crossover with the 'Harry Potter' universe. Squall could be a wizard, and his gunblade could be enchanted. Another could be a crossover with 'Star Wars', where the characters from Final Fantasy 8 are in the middle of the galactic conflict. Maybe Laguna could be a Jedi - like figure.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the minor characters in more depth. For example, the story of the civilians in Cocoon who were affected by the events. Another could be a what - if scenario, like what if Lightning had made different choices at certain key moments. And a third could be focusing on the relationship between Fang and Vanille before they became l'Cie.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the main characters in more depth. For example, Noctis' training as a prince and his relationship with his father before the events of the game. Another could be a fanfiction set in an alternate universe where the Astrals have different roles or relationships with the humans. Maybe a story where Noctis and his friends have to face a new, unexpected threat that wasn't in the original game.
One idea could be a crossover between Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X. Imagine Cloud and Tidus teaming up to fight a new powerful enemy. Another could be a crossover with a non - Final Fantasy franchise like Pokemon. Picture Squall trying to catch Pokemon in the world of Final Fantasy VIII.
A 'Final Fantasy VIII Crossover Fanfiction' could involve crossing it with the world of 'Alice in Wonderland'. Rinoa could be like Alice, falling into a strange world where everything is topsy - turvy. The Heartless from Kingdom Hearts could also be added to the mix in a crossover. The characters of Final Fantasy VIII would have to fight these new enemies, with Squall taking on the role of a keyblade wielder in this strange new world.
