Eternal Final Fantasy is a competitive forum which allows fans of the genre to create their own fantasy and live it out in any of the worlds they chose, competing in a number of Highlight events and smaller events.
There are four Highlight events per year for each world, with one occurring every three months. So as not to pile on a mass of pressure for those of you who have characters in more than one world, these will not all take place in the same month. Below you will see what the four highlight events are, and will see what the competition will consist of and how the tournament will be written. Rules are presented in the rulebook for those of you who are unclear on how they are judged.
The Planet:
Midgar Mayhem
January 2nd or 3rd weekend
This is an event endorsed by the Shinra Corporation.
This is the biggest event on the calendar and is a celebrative event of the Western New Year. In the city of Midgar a tournament will be held where Heroes and Villains are invited to battle it out for money, prestige and pride. The initial rounds will have heroes and villains segregated, so that a champion of each will be named, who will be named Hero and Villain of the month. Then, they will face off against one another for the ultimate yearly showdown of good versus evil. The tournament will actually begin at the start of January, where the less important rounds will take place in the nearby town of Kalm. Only the three final matches will take place in Midgar, and some smaller fights and grudge matches may begin proceedings.
Prison Town Riot
April 2nd or 3rd weekend
This is an event endorsed by the Prison Town.
In the Prison Town, a grudge match between good and evil takes place once a year. The event will highlight five Heroes and Five Villains that will be chosen by the Overlord, often by a series of qualification matches leading up to the night. At the Prison Town Riot the teams of five will face off against each other and will eliminate each other in an attempt to win for their team. The last surviving Hero and Villain from each team will be named Hero and Villain of the month, and the over all winner will secure bragging rights for the year to come.
The Planet Tour
July 2nd or 3rd weekend
This is an event endorsed by the Shinra Corporation
Every year, this event will take place in a different town or city, to be named well before the competition so players have time to prepare. It is the only competition of the year with no tournament or team battle. The night will consist of several building grudge matches, mostly between Heroes and Villains, though we know sometimes egos form rivalries, so there are sure to be the occasional Hero vs. Hero match, and Villains being well known as treacherous are likely to make a few enemies so always expect a Villain vs. Villain contest.
The Prophecy
October 2nd or 3rd weekend
This is an event endorsed by the Shinra Corporation
Taking place at the Promised Land, a tournament will take place just on the night, where the 3 rp limit may be revised for one night only seeing as how once the event roster has been posted, right up until the deadline, every roleplay will contribute just for the whole night, meaning that you will have to write better than everybody else to win the whole thing. It’s competition at it’s rawest, where only the Promised One will win. Highest scoring Hero and Villain will be named Hero and Villain of the month.
The Garden:
Rising Hell
September 2nd or 3rd weekend
This is an event endorsed by Galbadia Garden
This is the most prestigious and exciting event on the calendar. Taking place on the Island Closest to Hell, it is a spectacular battle where everyone is your enemy. Every contestant will qualify before hand, or they will be chosen by the Overlord prior to the event. It is the only event of the year where the roleplay limit may be revised as your series of roleplays will have to win out against everyone competing in the competition if you wish to win. As always, highest scoring Heroes and Villains will gain the Hero and Villain of the month award.
The Holy Mission
The 2nd or 3rd weekend in December
This is an event endorsed by Trabia Garden
Heroes and Villains will fight their way through a series of matches throughout the month which will lead them into the final showdown. No one is safe and anyone may fight anyone in any round, so it won’t be Hero vs. Villain, or Hero vs. Hero, Villain vs. Villain only, it can be any match any time. The winner will fight their way through three matches on the night. The highest ranking Hero and Villain will be named Hero and Villain of the month.
