I've wanted to do a "next generation" story for Final Fantasy VII. I've read couple NG stories in FF.net and I have a some idea what I want to do and what I don't. But there are some questions and I hope you can shed some light what do you want to read.
Firts about the characters. Most what I have read canon characters childer usually have adopted their parents fighting tehnique. I was thingking that at least one of my main OC's doesnt's know how to figth using weapons. And some of them uses different weapons/fighting tehnique than his/hers parent. I want to focus on the canon characters children, but how much should I involve the canon characters? Ofcource there will be some event's that some canon chracters plays a major role.
In the plot there will be a new villain, but the basic story line divides in to two. And you might guess: Should I revive Sephiroth? This villain is a leader of cult, which starts out as harmless at first.
And finally I wanted to put some reference to older FF games. For exsample naming three sisters after princesses from FF I, II and V, Sarah, Hilda and Lenna. And when were talking about naming, should I name one of cloud sons afer Zach? I was thinking about placing the four elemental fiends either from FF I or FF IV, but I'm not really sure about that.
This is what I come up now, but more might come up later or when I'm writing the story. So what do you think. Should I go ahead with this or think about something else, cause I'm definetly not running put of ideas.
