War of Individuals is a crossover tactical roleplaying game that would be developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and Square Enix. I would like for Valve to publish the game via Steam, though with advertisement efforts from Rooster Teeth. I figure the PC doesn't have many IP issues.
The game serves largely as a pastiche of the Super Robot Wars series by Banpresto, using many of the same gameplay and storytelling mechanics. Unlike SRW, however, Wo I makes use of a World Map like Final Fantasy Tactics, which allows players to level grind up to certain levels between story missions which is something not normally found in vanilla SRW. There’s also the fact that Wo I takes the inherently ludicrous nature of SRW and turns it up to eleven with things like Harry Potter interacting with Francis, or Sora getting an Unwanted Harem.
The main plot of the game revolves around a strange viral e-mail being sent to various computers throughout the world that is somehow linked to the strange communications shutdown of the micronation of Molossia, as well as the bizarre rumors of someone or something planning to bring about the end of the world. While young Idol Singer Lovanna Lee heeds little attention to this and sets out in the world on a journey of self-discovery, her friend Royce Richter shows more active concern and acts as a courier between certain parties to spread the message of a means to counteract this rumor. However, it soon becomes apparent that it holds more water than anyone would have imagined...

This fanfic includes examples of the following:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Level X Sentry that acts as the main database for the BLK Team.
- Final Boss Preview: A rather jarring one when Barthus comes in as a killjoy to the RED Pyro’s One-Man Army streak.
- Anti-Grinding: The game keeps you from going past a certain level between story episodes, since you're able to access battles outside of ones pertaining to the story. However, there's no limit on the money you can accrue.
- The Hero: Most characters who take up this slot are affiliated with Lovanna's storyline.
- Anti-Hero: Most characters who take this stance are found in Royce's storyline.
- Guest-Star Party Member: The game makes use of a few, namely Ari and Knives.
- Shown Their Work: Royce, as a ninja, is more oriented on information gathering and manipulation... just like real ninjas back in their day. She’s also tech-savvy, something many ninjas were as well.
- Fix Fic: Zig-zagged throughout. It's no surprise that Bill lives, but there are other moments that the writers turned on their ears.
- For example, even though Mami lives, she gets slammed with the fact that even immortals aren't safe from witch barriers. And she doesn't live for that much longer, anyway.
- The Other Darrin: Kira Vincent-Davis got shafted for Tiffany Terrell for Kokoa's English voice at the director's behest.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: A few areas where this occurs.
- Every time you pull up Ruby's bio page in the codex, her in-school occupation changes. Some of the more ridiculous occupation choices include "wingwoman", "corset model", "Sixth Ranger" and "Pootis Bird".
- Shout-Out: Many of the characters' strongest attacks are modelled directly after the strongest attacks used by mecha featured in the SRW series.
- Anachronism Stew: How 1950s/60s business models still function in the 21st century is a mystery.
- Acting for Two: Eve and Kurumu share the same voice actresses in Japanese and English (Misato Fukuen and Brina Palencia). This is also the case with Zoey and Moka in the Japanese dub.
- Actor Allusion: Plenty. Riku and Sniper take it to extremes, as they're voiced by Mamoru Miyano (Setsuna F. Seiei) and Hideo Ishikawa (Ryoma Nagare, Getter Robo Armageddon version) in Japanese, respectively.
- Cross Ship and Crack Pairing: The most popular fan OT 5 is Sora x Homura x Madoka x Ellis x Zoey.
- Chick Magnet: It doesn't take long for Sora to gain quite the female fanbase at Midakihara. Even Homura admits to his face that he looks good.
- To be fair, though, she had a crush on him in earlier timelines.
- We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future: Oh so averted, especially in Royce's route. The poor girl goes through hoops to ensure the authenticity of every photo and video that her allies get. When she falls ill, one of the first worries on everybody's mind can be summed up as, "Is Photoshop going to rape us?"
- Let's Split Up, Gang!: Happens frequently, with the girls going their separate ways.
- Playable Epilogue: Covers the Final Mix+ of Kingdom Hearts II, including extra boss fights against all of Organization XIII and Terra.
- Glass Cannon: The Harry Potter crew in "real" battles. They don't have good defense against physical attacks, though their magical damage is among the best in the game.
- Big Good: Lovanna and Royce fulfill this trope pretty well.
- Massively Multiplayer Crossover: With crossovers within!
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: A few especially significant Disney villains in Kingdom Hearts (except for Pete) were replaced by Original Generation characters.
