Yours truly along with
Mr. Retroforce attended the
Final Fantasy Anniversary "party" in San Francisco the other day. The event was pretty much a giant let down. People were stuck waiting for hours outside of the store and when we were finally let in, they wanted you to get out as fast as possible. The first 100 people were given a greatly designed T-shirt based on the covers of
Final Fantasy 1 and the upcoming
Final Fantasy II. They were also taking peoples pictures in front of a green screen which I thought they would insert you into some kind of battle scene. NOPE! All they did was
insert the anniversary logo and that's it.
Yeah, I'm angry. I'm Mr. Nerdcore damn it! I expect more from multi-million dollar companies than what we ended up getting. But hey, I at least will have the satisfaction of giving three lucky Dtoiders some prizes now!
First Place:
You'll get a copy of Final Fantasy for the PSP as well as the really nicely designed T-shirt. Second Place:
A copy of Final Fantasy 1 for the PSP.
Third Place:
The T-shirt.
So what the hell do you have to do? Quite simple really. You're going to have to write a story based on the Final Fantasy universe (thank Jim Sterling for the idea). It can be demented, disturbing, a love story, humorous, anything so long as it's really good and original. The contest is open to anyone so go nuts.
You have until July 5th to write your story.
Rules:
- Nothing extremely sexual!
- You must post your essay as a Community Blog entry and have the title of the post start with "FF Contest:"
- It should be no less than three paragraphs.
- Use at least one image to support your story
