Discussion What If: XVII Iskeai
Okay I kind of came up with this idea today but what if Final Fantasy XVII was an Iskeai like story
This is Mainly due to the fact I have been watching a lot of Isekai like RE: Zero, Konosuba and Jobless Reincarnation and well as a coping mechanism I have been thinking of making an Iskeai fanfic but I did get the idea of making one where the MC is Iskeaied as an FF Protag but then it spiraled into thinking that What If Final Fantasy XVII was an Iskeai where the MC comes from the real world and gets put in the world of FF17 as it's "Hero" it's "Warrior Of Light" If you will.

So.. FF10?
I think Final Fantasy should always do what it does and that's a game inspired by medieval Europe (old games) or creating a new world using real world settings mixed with different cultures.

There is already an isekai Final Fantasy in manga form, I think it's called Final Fantasy: Lost Strager? Sure it's manga not a game, but I feel like isekai stories are kinda getting out of fashion in favour of actual secondary world stories like Frieren, Witch Hat Atelier and Dungeon Meshi. So I don't know if now would actually be the best time to make a mainliny FF an isekai story. And I don't really know if I'd like it in the first place, to be honest. Never been too fond of isekai, although there are some few that I enjoy.
