Final Fantasy Dynamics

FFDynamics is a small community based RPG based off of Final Fantasy on the GameFAQs message boards created by fsablazingsoul.Thus far,it has spanned 12 topics and has 22 characters spread out amongst the six regular classes present in the original Final Fantasy,and has gotten a following amongst the denizens of that message board,leading to several people creating accounts simply to play in the game.

Story
The story,exactly like the game,began in Coneria,but it took a slightly different route from the original Final Fantasy.The storyline path is like the Godfather game in the sense that it follows the story of the game itself,but each character usually has their own backstory that they expand with game-related fights and events which they do occasionally in lieu of the storyline set forth by blazingsoul.

Troubles in Coneria
The game began in Coneria with three original signees,who used the names Atma,HIM,and Muteki.The game started with a Rude Guard directing them to spend a night outside the city walls,since they were new to town.The three went out and slaughtered the first few groups of Imps.Meanwhile,a fourth man,named Dave Mlinko,was also found and ordered out to spend the night outside.After killing two imps personally,he joined the group of three beseiged by the forest creatures,and helped them all fight.It all led eventually to a climatic battle in which the newcomer Dave personally killed the Grey Imp captain of the scavengers,ending the fight.

The group then returned to town and tackled the other odd jobs around town that needed doing.The four discovered Pirates raiding a local mountain for ore,leading to them subseqently getting Rapiers and Chainmail from a weapons dealer made form the ore they obtained,followed by herb picking in a local swamp to obtain heal potions,where it was discovered that Muteki had a fear of spiders.However,the group eradicated the spiders and went back into town,now capable of buying Heal Potions.

Around this time,Dave,who had lost his memory while traveling to Coneria,discovered the dead body of his love interest,Erin,and subsequently got it back.His rage at her death motivated the majority of his actions in the game form there on out.

The Imp Invasion and the Tournament
After handing the potionmaker the herbs,the group was called upon by the kingdom to lead an assault on the Imps,who had to die once and for all.However,when the group was trying to kill them,they were ambushed by a group of them in the hundreds,where they were tied up and presented to the Ogre kings.However,after a long,fierce,and drawn-out battle,the four killed the two drunk Ogres,and the Imps scattered.

At this time,two Fighters by the name of Max and Bob joined the fray,killing Imps fleeing from the scene.Guy the White Mage also joined,undergoing a test at the local White Mage school consisting of a riddle and a fight with three undead,which he passed with flying colors.

After the Imp Invasion,a tournament was held amongst the current seven as well as an eighth man,a Thief named Slade.Atma downed him in the first round.Bob defeated HIM in round one,Max downed Muteki despite several Sleep spell attempts,and Dave beat the RUSE-powered defense of Guy.

Around this time,John the White Mage joined,and woke up in a mysterious Temple of unknown origin,having seen things beyond his comprehension.He fought his way out of the temple and got to Coneria,where he recruited several of the losers in the tournament to investigate the temple with him.

In the second round,Atma,relying on the FOG spell to buff his defenses,beat Max.Bob beat Dave after a controversial kidney punch/rapier stab combo by Bob.Bob attempted to avenge his friend Max,but failed to do so as Atma's FOG spell got him the win.The princess personally presented the award to him of several hundred Gold Pieces.

The Kidnapping of the Princess and the rise of a Martial Artist
A daring plan by Garland enabled him to kidnap the princess right after she presented the award to Atma.A gorup of forest imps then dragged the princess away,slew her guards,and took her to the Temple of Fiends,where Garland set up an ambush for the forces he knew would eventually get her back.

The current eight signees then went down the the Temple to get her back,upon orders from the King.They were joined by Alphie,a friend of the princess.Garland then directed a classic pincer movement strategy against the nine,but Atma countered his maneuvers in a fashion similar to that of a young Zhuge Liang.Dave and HIM then proceeded to work on Garland's werewolf guards,but then Garland pulled a chain that sent a Creep into the unprotected group of white mages in the middle,although it was quickly roasted by a FIRE spell from Atma.

Dave and HIM kept fighting,but got the shock of their lives when the Princess revived and began attacking HIM and Dave with fire attacks.However,the werewolves were finally dead,and then they moved on to fight Garland.After getting help from Muteki bravely taking a swordstroke from Garland,buying the group enough time to heal the battered and burnt Dave and HIM,the two,aided by Atma,peeled the armor off of Garland.Dave then finally ended the battle by shattering Garland's skull with an overhand nunchuck swing.

The Princess revived,and the victorious group returned to Coneria.A bridge was made in Dave's name,although,as a subtle reference to blazingsoul's solo Thief run,Dave found out it was a rope bridge.
