Forgotten Gods

What happens to the old gods, once their temples have crumbled and their believers have abandoned them? Do they die, forsaken, alone? Or do they remain, still wandering the world, immortal, surviving off what little belief they can gather?

Forgotten Gods follows the lives of these old deities, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers moved on to new religions, the gods' powers waned - for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, attempting to regain the power that was once theirs, to revive their followings.

And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the older gods, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep wariness.

Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology.

what if spira were a real place?

What if instead of destroying Sin, Yuna destroyed the Church of Spira that had theocratically ruled the continent for centuries? What if instead of public servants, spherehunters were just glorified pirates? What if the Hypello and Ronso were the native inhabitants of Spira, exploited and pushed to extinction by Yevonite Spirans? What if the Guado were a city-state near assimilation by Spira?

The Spiral is an AU FFX/FFX-2 game that borrows places, characters, and story elements from the games and puts them in a real setting. Instead of a giant furry blue tiger-thing, Kimhari is now an exceptionally strong human, the leader of the dwindling Ronso tribe. The Farplane is a sacred place where spirits are supposed to be able to commune across the great divide - a scientific impossibility that doesn't stop people from claiming to have had visions of loved ones there. Set six months after Gippal, Baralai and Nooj swore to unite Spira for the good of all people, the world of Spira now faces yet another challenge: somehow mending the enormous rifts that Yevonism created between the peoples to rebuild their world. But can they do it without their two-time savior Yuna, who now wants only to live a life of domestic bliss on Besaid with her returned lover Tidus?
in the spiral, anything is possible.

IMPORTANT CANON CHARACTERS STILL OPEN! Yuna, Rikku, Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, Nooj, Leblanc, Ormi, Logos, Clasko, & more!
