Please use this post to promote the fandoms you're interested in requesting, or ask for recommendations of canons that suit you! FFFX is a long-haul exchange - someone might not have time to get into your canon before sign-ups close, but they definitely have time to check it out over the course of the exchange overall.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Date: 2023-08-05 07:01 pm (UTC)Media: Video Game (Nintendo Switch)
Approx length: howlongtobeat.com gives an average of about 62 hours, noncompletionist
Where to find it: The usual places one might get switch games; otherwise you can find let's plays and walkthroughs on youtube. (Don't watch the cutscene compilation videos only, they don't give the full story.)
What is it, in summary?: It's a game about a world embroiled in a neverending war between the two nations Agnus and Keves. Six soldiers, three from each side, end up being outcasts from both nations after a special mission goes wrong and they embark on a quest to find the truth behind their world and the war plaguing it.
What do you love about it?: The characters and the way they play off each other is so good. All six of the main characters are incredible and form one of the best JRPG parties I've ever seen. I'm particularly enamoured with the main character Noah and the way he intersects with a certain other character—but unfortunately I can't say anything about that because it's a massive spoiler. You'll know which one I mean when you get there though.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: All things Noah and the aforementioned mystery character. I just want all the fics for them; or honestly just with them as solo characters.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Unfortunately the main story can't be sectioned off like that, but you can safely skip the DLC (I didn't like it much and DNW'd it anyway) as well as pretty much all side content. (It's well worth doing! but mostly not relevant to my requests.)
Content notes: The game has a teen rating and thus features a somewhat sanitised depiction of war, but it's still a violent setting and death and grief are major themes of the narrative.
