new chapter; interesting review
Seventeen is up. I've been wanting to get to this one for awhile, ever since we started plotting bits of it behind the scenes. So I'm glad to have it out there.
Over dinner tonight, a friend who has never played the games and knows literally nothing about them told me that she'd read OMC and enjoyed it. She didn't understand much of what was going on, especially in terms of backstory, but she still liked it. I suppose that's a compliment! She also read bits of the other pieces of the Quartet, mostly for context; she said that helped a lot. I guess that partially answers the question of whether OMC stands alone, something I've often wondered. Obviously it's much richer if one reads the rest of the Quartet as well, but could someone just read it and still feel that they've seen a complete story? Hmm.

Re: my review
You do have the names right.
I'll see if I can dig up a good link to give you some context for Spira (the world where this particular game takes place; each Final Fantasy is set in a different universe).
