Summary
An unofficial novelization of Final Fantasy XIII, with a streamlined story that focuses on the character and setting depth that the original game had trouble depicting. This work draws on some of the lore detailed in Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, but treats the story of those sequels as an alternate timeline and will respect the original game's depicted ending. I will be posting each part as I finish it, but I may edit earlier parts as I go.
No familiarity with the game or characters required to enjoy!
