Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition

-This game is currently in development-

THE LEGEND RETURNS

A spiritual successor to the long-running Returners' Final Fantasy RPG and its many independent successors (Final Fantasy 4th Edition, Omega Fantasy), Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition continues the lineage by ushering in a new age of tabletop gaming action!

This is an intermediate-complexity tabletop roleplaying game based on the Japanese console RPG series, Final Fantasy. After 3 years of research and studying the various video games and tabletop games that inspired us, we've devised a game system that makes it easier than ever to build out the Final Fantasy campaign of your dreams! Whether you're a veteran or someone new to the series, our streamlined rules and various customization options will help you get started with ease.

EMBRACE THE MYTHOS

One of Legend Edition's core design principles is mythos over setting. The system is designed to accommodate total setting agnosticism; with our rules, it is easily possible to both replicate existing Final Fantasy worlds, as well as original worlds of your making. The game features a modular design that promotes an emphasis towards both Player and GM-facing customization. With over 50 unique Jobs representing different corners of Final Fantasy's vast history and a track-based advancement system, each player's character will feel wholly unique to one another.

FORGE YOUR OWN FANTASY

With Legend Edition, you can experience the essence of Final Fantasy the way that you love it the most. Through our simplified, row-based combat mechanics and multitude of advanced rules for adapting game-specific systems, you'll always be able to simulate the heat of battle the way you prefer it. Character skills also include alternate applications that lend themselves towards replicating the thrilling excitement of more cinematic moments, evoking the vibe of the cutscenes and action set-pieces that the series is known for.

Final Fantasy games have always hosted vast worlds with rich lore, varied locations, and high political tension. Our Reputation system will allow for the party to seamlessly integrate and immerse themselves into the world of the game as they interact with different groups and factions. You can track your party's progression regarding each of your affiliations, and you'll even be able to build up your own personal headquarters with the Holding system.

Regardless of your personal taste, Legend Edition has something for you.
