Meliadoul's personality and character is well-written, with some insight into her history that fleshes her out even more. I thoroughly enjoy TG Cid's character, who is a combination of comic relief, Noble Bigot with a Badge (surprisingly effectively, since I normally dislike sexism yet appreciate his personality presented here), and a Trickster Mentor as pointed out above. With strong characterisation, good description of battle sequences and fighting style, and a nice flow, this story is quite professionally written. TG Cid quickly develops into a Trickster Mentor, which is another point by itself which makes the story worth the price of admission.

While some might call Ramza overpowered, the author correctly points out that Ramza has had to deal with a lot of ludicrously powerful enemies and hey, he HAS survived. The fight scenes alone could steal the show, with Gaming Ikari very successfully weaving the job class system into the narrative without feeling videogamey. The characterization is to be commended, managing to insert a lot of personality in characters that didn't get many lines of dialogue in the original without making anything feel out of place. Ramza, in particular, is monstrous, showcasing just what it would be like to fight someone that has gamed the Job System and crossed the border from the Jack-of-All-Stats to Lightning Bruiser. For hardcore fans of the original series, the fight scenes are stuffed with references to abilities and job classes, but linked together so smoothly that they never get in the way.

Comments: The attention to gameplay mechanics is only enhanced by how smoothly those elements are used.

Light Ship Tease of Meliadoul x Ramza but nothing serious yet. There is a heavy focus on what Ramza's party, and Ramza especially, would actually be like in a fight, and how they would become that way.

Synopsis: A retelling of the game from Meliadoul's perspective, starting from Chapter IV of the game with her swearing vengeance on Ramza for the death of Izlude.

I suppose this would also count as a shipping fic. The strengths of the story are, I feel, in the dialogue, especially between Agrias and Ramza. The author seem to have meant to stick to the canon story rather than radically change it, which is a refreshing change.

Comments: One of the older FFT fanfictions this title has often been ignored or forgotten, but it is quite possibly one of the most loyal retellings, if not one of the most well written FFT fanfics around.

A retelling of the story starting from Act 2.
