Listen to my story.
This may be our last chance.
This is the main page for the unofficial Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary fanzine.
Final Fantasy X came out for the first time in Japan on July 19 2001 on the Playstation 2. For almost 25 years, this game has touched many players regardless of whether you’ve been a longtime Final Fantasy fan since the series’ inception or a newcomer who just picked up the game very recently.This fanzine project is meant to celebrate its 25-year anniversary of the game coming next year, and of course, will focus on Tidus and Yuna’s journey, their bonds with the guardians and the rest of the cast, as well as celebrating the beautiful world of Spira.Due to the nature of this project, this zine will contain major spoilers for FFX; this includes the epilogue short before the events of FFX-2.

What is a zine?It's short for ‘magazine’, though this is more geared towards indie creatives. They can be either a solo or a collaborative anthology project. Zines can be both for-profit and non-profit, and can be created for a multitude of reasons.Will this zine include anything from FFX-2 or any of the FF spinoffs?To keep things within the scope of the project, we will not be including anything from Final Fantasy X-2 (this includes the novel and the *cough cough* drama CD), and anything from the spinoff Final Fantasy games (e.g: Dissidia FF, Record Keeper, World of FF, Kingdom Hearts).However, we will accept contributions featuring the kabuki stageplay adaptation of FFX.Are pairings acceptable?While the game hugely focuses on Tidus and Yuna’s love story, we would also like to represent the rest of the cast as well as showcasing the game’s story events and the world of Spira itself. However, with regards to pairings, we prefer to just stick to the canon ones only to keep things within the scope.Are AUs and/or OCs allowed?For this zine, we would prefer to keep things based off from the canon materials and settings. You may draw existing characters based on your headcanons (e.g: tan/brown Tidus/plus-sized Lulu, etc), but OCs and AUs will not be permitted.What is the difference between the main zine and the community zine?The main zine will have a more thoroughly curated contribution, featuring illustrations, fics and merch done by selected contributors and will be available in both physical and digital. This will be a paid zine and all proceeds will depend on the results of the interest check.The community zine on the other hand, will be open to all with less creative restrictions unlike the main zine. It will be available for everyone for free digitally to celebrate the fans who have kept the series of the game for 25 years.I am a traditional artist. Will you be accepting works done in the traditional medium?Yes, we do accept traditional works, although we recommend to properly scan/photograph your submissions and submit them in a high DPI.
