Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

Looking to play suma dis. I played a previous edition, which I thought was called Returners. I'm not looking for FFd6, because I've grown disillusioned by its transition from 30 levels to 15. I'm not looking for d20 for obvious reasons. Really, if they aren't obvious, don't bother replying.

World
I was extremely fond of 9, and liked Ivalice well enough so I'd be OK in either of those. Don't bother asking me about 7, I'm actively disinterested in it. I also liked 10 alright, so a world with Sin would be fine by me (seriously if you start throwing around words like Jenova or Cloud Strife, or Sephiroth, I'm out). I personally ran a setting in the real world earth (with year 0 being 2077. It used old ffd6), partly inspired by one I was in (using Returners) that took place far enough ahead that continental drift rendered earth unrecognizeable. That said, I have absolutely no problem using the real world as the basis for the game either. Or an original world for that matter.

Rating
I'm not opposed to a General rating, but I prefer Mature or Adult because I don't like having to censor myself, and I do like graphic violence. Still, "plucky kids" are kind of an FF staple, so it would take marginal persuading for me to try to censor myself in the interest of a General game.

Characters
Prefer a game where no canon characters are available, either by design of an original world, or because they're elsewhere in a game set in a canon world. My character's name is Balthazar Falco, but I have not thought in great detail about what class or race I intend to play (was a Hume Ninja for the Returners one).

In reply to steelsmiter (msg # 1):

hey there i saw your post and i would be interested in running a one on one play by post  FF 3E returners rpg for you. I'd likely set the game in an FF9 or Ivalice  setting  with some prevalent magitech elemnets like in FF12 or FF 14: a realm reborn. What class were you thinking of playing and what sort of character concept should I expect?

Hey, thanks for the response. I've had a few concepts since I first wrote this. I look forward to discussing them with you.

Re: Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

So I'm about to get the ball rolling on a character in FFIX, but if there's more FF3e GMs out there, I'd also be down to create an Ivalician Time Mage :D. Thanks for reading.

It's been 10 days since the GM's last response in character creation PMs. If anyone else wouldn't mind picking this up, I would gladly take something a little faster.

At the moment, a friend and I have a Genome Blue Mage and a Qu Geomancer for an FFIX prequel (although backstories could be tailored for a sequel instead if a potential GM prefers that).

I also have an idea for a Time Mage in Ivalice, and my friend may be willing to cook something up as well.

Heyo, this the the Qu Geomancer, officially putting my GM request alongside the OP's.

Backstory for prequel or sequel is honestly pretty moot for me, since I have no time specific story elements.

I'm willing to play in whatever FF world anyone wants to run, although 10 and 13 are my personal favorites.

And I honestly have no idea why you don't want d20.

Re: Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

Hi I just saw this, and I would probably already be in that game with the time mage but I never really liked gestalts or multiclassing or anything of that nature. I also can't promise anything more than about once a week.

So I do thank you for the invite, but unfortunately I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.

Re: Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

Thanks. I halfway wonder if I should just go in blind and run something on my own. I usually try to play complicated(ish) systems for a while before I run them.

Re: Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

I could probably create a sandbox-style 3e if people are just wanting to learn the rules or play character concepts.  I wouldn't use any ORD material or my homebrew mechanics.  Just straight 3e.  I'd have to sandbox it though since most of my "good" ideas are going into The Tower above and I don't want to relinquish them into another game.

I'd probably frame the sandbox in a loose Guild structure to which quests would be posted to a job board.  I'd players would lend a hand in world development and I'd interpret where I was needed (sandbox to the nines).

Would this work for you?

Re: Final Fantasy RPG 3e (NOT d20 or FFd6)

Yeah, sure. Be sure to hit me up in a PM. I bet the other guy wouldn't object to being included in such a message. Would you be more interested in the characters we already designed, (of which mine was a Blue Mage) or having me run a Time Mage (of which I would probably keep the idea of being Ancient but having forgotten most of the time between several centuries ago, and current day, but would drop the Ivalice flavoring I discussed earlier for that character)
