Thanks for the detailed response!  From what I get, we seem to have a lot of freedom in this game, so I suppose I will just take things in the direction I was imagining a bit.  It seems to be within the parameters.  If you want greater details, I will PM you about it, but I wouldn't want to say in this public chat.  I know I look forward to reading what other people post, so under the assumption others feel the same way I wouldn't want to spoil what I will be writing.

While I understand that we're not "reserving" characters, here are the people I'd be most interested in playing:

1) Cloud Strife (yes, someone had to choose this as their number one pick right? lol)

2) Tidus

3) Auron

I might also be interested in some villain roles.  It is rather interesting as you say, for the reasons you say.  In fact, there's a very good reason why most modern examples of amnesia as a major character point have the character in question being a "former" villain.  There's a lot of drama to be had there.  But until a decision comes down on that, I am more than content expressing a desire for one of these three.

I'm a little worried about my knowledge of FF in some cases.  For these characters in particular, I've only played their main games (FFVII and FFX), and not their prequels/sequels (Crisis Core, X-2).  So any character arc I develop would be based on how they are presented in those games alone.  Still, I think I can be entertaining regardless.
