Okay bear with me as I go on an unhinged rant about a game I’ve wanted for years but is very unlikely to happen. For this we need to go into the deep Elder Scrolls lore, which I am going to butcher mostly because my version is amusing to me and all ideas are canon.
Imagine a magic steampunk world completely alien from our own, none of this Skyrim nonsense but truly alien. A time traveling thousand foot tall Magical Murder Mech decides ‘yolo I’m destroy the planet’, and almost does too, until Some Demigod shows up in their own time traveling magical murder mech (this one isn’t nearly as impressive though). They go fisticuffs with each other, a bunch of the planet is destroyed. Some normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever are like ‘this blows’ so they build a magical space ship. Not like a magical space rocket; I mean like a Sailboat on Steroids. They decide to fuck off to the moon because where else would you go. Anyway Some Demigod gets mangled by the other, better Magical Murder Mech who then follows the normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever to the moon, because that’s the most obvious choice for them to escape to because where else would you go. They show up ready to fuck up the moon colony when Complete Rando walks up and back-sasses the time traveling Magical Murder Mech to death. He then wanders up to Guy In Charge and is like ‘hey I want to fuck your daughter’, but surprise! The daughter is actually an intersex pansexual enby, oh and also they’re a god. So Complete Rando takes one look at that Gorgeous Deity (who is also maybe a lot a bit fascist but that’s a different story) and is like hell yeah, with our libidos combined we can repopulate the planet together.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I want a game that takes place from the perspectives of multiple normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever. Different characters follow different sections of the story. So the first character you might be learning about the Magical Murder Mech that’s running loose on the planet. You’re trying to prepare, you catch glimpses of the thing while fleeing your home. Another character could be someone who is in the Sailboat on Steroids and trying to get by on limited supplies while looking for people you were separated from in the chaos. However many characters there ends up being though, it would be crucial that the last scene in this game is watching Complete Rando suck face with Gorgeous Deity because I also want a game that tilts phobes.
Complete with the intersex pansexual enby who is also a god who gets going with some rando who can talk robots to death? Because I can’t stress enough how crucial that detail is.

That’s the plot of Final Fantasy IV.
