In the world of Ivalice, there has always been people that make their living doing odd jobs and, more importantly, fighting monsters. These people are known by many names: murder hobos, mercenaries, assassins, "Hey, you!". There is one name,, however, that rings out over all the rest: Adventurers.
The worst Adventurers find themselves regarded as nothing more than thieves and bandits. The best Adventurers, however, are seen as celebrities and heroes. Indeed, many generals, sages, and politicians got their start by adventuring. The call to adventure brings many to travel the world.
Not everyone willingly becomes an Adventurer. For some it takes a stolen love, an awe inspiring quest that only they can complete, or an ancient prophecy.
For others, it's the fact their bar burned down and they need a LOT of money to replace it.
Welcome to the world of Ivalice, where one such bar has been burned down and a band of down-on-their-luckers must become a fighting force to rival the gods all so they can pay their various debts!
Assuming you got this far, welcome to a little idea I got while I was looking at the Final Fantasy RPG 3rd Edition PDF. It's an interesting little system, and (most importantly) it is a completely free system due to it being a fan project. It can be found here:

This is a not entirely serious game concept. On the scale of Black Trench Coat to Pink Mohawk, this is a Hawaiian Shirt.
