This blog setup is not official with Square Enix or in any way connected. This project is about how Final Fantasy X-3 can be from my (Lee A. Funnell) perspective. The plot and ideas are mine. Anything that this project contains is not aimed to offend or insult non fictional related. This is a fictional story but an apology in advance anyway. This is just my explanation for my project at hand and for those who wish to learn more.

The sinking feeling

One of the key elements introduced by Final Fantasy X is water. BlitzBall is an underwater sport which in reality in possibly impossible to try and replicate in real life. As is the ability of some characters to swim and stay underwater unaided and indefinatley. Water is an element of Magic. Much of Spira is water and its become a custom for Yuna to fall/jump into the Moonflow. Needless to say, Spira is full of water. Its the kind of world that will make those who suffer from Thalassophobia, Potamophobia, Hygrophobia, Ablutophobia, Cymophobia or those with bladder weaknesses look away.

But aside from BlitzBall, Final Fantasy X-2 doesn't embrace the use of water like its predecessor did. Well all that changes in my concept of Final Fantasy X-3 so water haters beware!

Expect recreations of events featured in FFX to reappear in FFX-3 and then some. One of these new events will be a critical situation event where if failed will lead to game over. Yuna falls into the Via Purifico Sewers with chains entrapping her body and the added weight causes Yuna to sink to the bottom more quickly. What's worse is there is a chain around Yuna's mouth making breathing extremely difficault. "That's cruel!" You might be thinking and you'd be right. Blame the antagonist Raphas for that one.

In both "The Final Chapters" and "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" the same airship crashes into the sea beside Yadonoki Tower though over a 1000 years apart.

There's more of course but I don't want to spill the beans. But here's an insight to think about: If my concept of Final Fantasy X-3 was made reality, imagine the way water, rivers, and sea will look and reflect against the golden glow of an evening sunset or the moon and starlit night sky brought to life by current generation visual graphics made possible by HD/Blu-ray gaming.
