Final Fantasy, as conceived by an AI
So while playing with Midjourney, an interesting image of a giant crystalline-blade-like tower with a chip out of it came up, and a friend and I quipped we'd love to see what the story behind that was.
Then we got to thinking.
This led to getting a text-generating AI (GPT-3) to write a summary of a nonexistent Final Fantasy game, and then trying to get an image-generating AI (Midjourney) to create concept art for it.
So, here we go.
For eons, the world of Eobenica has been protected by the light of the Silver Sanctuary's Worldcrystal and the Essences it allows Spiritcallers to summon. The Spiritcallers have long held the Golwildom Empire and their magitek forces at bay, but when the Worldcrystal is damaged in an Imperial attack, the Spiritcallers must find a new source of power to save Eobenica. They journey to the lost city of Ivaldia, where they discover the Worldcrystal's dark twin: the Shadowcrystal. With the Shadowcrystal's power, they are able to drive the Empire back, but at what cost?
The dark power of the Shadowcrystal corrupts the Spiritcallers, turning them into monsters known as the Shadowspawn. The Empire takes advantage of this and launches a full-scale assault on Eobenica. The player must take control of a party of adventurers to stop the Empire and save the world from the Shadowspawn's corruption.
The adventuring party is made up of a diverse cast of characters, including:
A young man named Daryus, who is the last of the Spiritcallers and must come to terms with his new power.
A street urchin named Nym, who joins the party in hopes of finding a way to get revenge on the Empire.
An exiled knight named Sirra, who is seeking redemption for her past mistakes.
An enigmatic thief named Rixen, who has his own reasons for taking on the Empire.
