<h1>INTRODUCTION</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Welcome to Fabula Ultima! What you hold in your hands is the core rulebook for
|
|
a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by some of the most beloved JRPG
|
|
videogames, such as Bravely Default, Bravely Second, Granblue Fantasy, Ni No
|
|
Kuni, Octopath Traveler, and the legendary Final Fantasy series.

The JRPG acronym stands for Japanese (or Japanese-style) Roleplaying Game, a
|
|
videogame genre that saw its origin in Japan but is currently spread all over
|
|
the world, counting hundreds of titles. JRPG videogames share some major
|
|
elements: they tell fantastic stories in which extraordinary individuals
|
|
confront the darkness that threatens their world, growing and learning to
|
|
trust each other: only by struggling together and casting aside their
|
|
suspicions and differences will they save what they hold dear. This may read
|
|
like a reasonably common premise, but what makes JRPGs unique is that the
|
|
worlds in which they are set — often wondrous and bizarre! — are built around
|
|
the protagonists and act as a reflection of the doubts, hopes and feelings
|
|
driving their actions: the process of discovering the setting goes hand in
|
|
hand with understanding who is accompanying us in our journeys.

Just like JRPGs it was inspired by, <em>Fabula Ultima</em> focuses on epic
|
|
tales of growing heroes and powerful villains, set in fantastic worlds
|
|
brimming with wondrous locations and bizarre, unique monsters, tightly
|
|
connected to each protagonist's unique themes and choices.

|
|
Unlike a videogame, you won't play through a prewritten plot and grind for
|
|
experience by slaying monsters for countless hours or carrying out duties
|
|
for quest-givers. Instead, you will build your own story together little by
|
|
little, and you will be rewarded for playing your character in a way that
|
|
fits their role and identity in that story!
