[quote=@Shoryu Magami] By no stretch of the imagination would my story be considered unsophisticated. The reason for going to light novel instead of just novel is the problem of length and complexity -- there is no way a single novel - no matter how large - would be able to contain even one of the arcs of my project, so the idea is that I plan to separate the story into what would best be described as 'episodes', and then have a handful of them in each book. I have no intention of going with multiple routes/endings, so my reasons for considering a visual novel format is entirely for the purpose of adding better visuals and even music -- it would still contain the full and heavy-handed narrative that the novels would have.[/quote] My understanding of a light novel is a type of narrative fiction that uses simplistic, everyday language as opposed to a standard novel, which uses more artistic writing. Both novels and light novels can exist as one-off volume, or into series (i.e. spanning over many volumes under the same main title). So if your idea is complex, and you are able to write with class, then I feel that it's better to go with standard novel style rather than "lowering" your standard to go for light novel style. [quote=@Shoryu Magami] In this role-play, I'll actually be using some (not all) of the concepts I've had over the years for Final Fantasy role-play ideas. I suppose keep an eye on the role-play when the time comes. It's using the Dissidia setting, but I expect the ideas I have in mind will make it a lot more complex than that story was.[/quote] I have been playing Mobius FF on my mobile (and I'm waiting for them to release the PC version on Steam), which shares a number of similarities with Dissidia. Both are some of the sources of inspiration for this FF RP idea I have in mind ([url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3403187]link[/url]). The other one below is a crossover with Fate/stay night - but instead of summoning historical Heroic Spirits, this time you summon those from FF, lol. I can keep a look out for your FF RP, but I cannot promise you now about joining, because it really depends on my schedule at the time when you officially roll out the game.
