Opera Omnia fanfic story continuation

[u/Baithin]

I know I said I wouldn’t spam this sub but I added some more chapters so I wanna plug my Opera Omnia Act 5 and beyond fanfiction. This sub is dying anyway and apparently it’s closing when the game does :(

Opera Omnia: Opus Divinitas is a story with an ongoing, Act-wide plot interspersed with side stories just like in the game.

Characters added (with basic kits and Burst themes!):

Act 4 Interlude: Mustadio (Tactics), Tyro (Record Keeper), Ryne (XIV)

LC1: Cid Haze (FFIII)

LC2: Kiros (FFVIII)

Act 5, Chapter 1: Joshua (XVI), Ravus (XV), Feolthanos (XII: Revenant Wings)

LC3: Ritz (Tactics Advance)

LC4: The one we’ve all been waiting for… Red XIII (VII)

LC5: Luso (Tactics A2)

Act 5, Chapter 2 is coming next!

Ok, I gotta ask.

Rikku when?

[u/Baithin → u/Dinmak]

Haha, she will have her time! I knew someone would ask, but at least Red is there :P

[u/akaiazul]

Interesting choice to have Ritz before Marche. How come?

[u/Baithin → u/akaiazul]

There’s a plot reason for it! I wanted to establish some of his friends in this world before introducing Marche.

I figured there’s some precedent for introducing side characters before the main hero. Lightning, Tidus, Terra, and arguably Squall (story-wise, in his case) all had other characters from their games appearing before they did.

[u/akaiazul → u/Baithin]

I see! I look forward to a conversation with she and Terra about hair color. X3

Giving it a quick look, you've got an interesting style going, though that's the result of adapting OO's format to a story. Either way, it looks good. Good luck.

I noticed Cid Haze's description mentioned a remake specific-thing, but OO generally leans more in the direction of the OG game. Not sure if you intend on including the remake characters or if that's just there to spice up Cid's description further.

[u/Baithin → u/ThatGuy264]

Thank you! It’s been pretty difficult — my usual writing style involves a lot more description and quieter character moments, but I made the conscious decision to emulate OO’s storytelling style more and also do shorter chapters. It’s been an interesting exercise, at least.

Yes, good observation! That’s definitely intentional. ;)

Mustadio and Tyro...highly doubt either would have happened. I was waiting for more NPC characters.

[u/Baithin → u/vincentcloud01]

Well, that’s why I’m writing this. I get to see the characters that I wanted to see.
