sounds a lot like XII with the whole princess thing.

decado is right though, characters with a lot of depth are infinitley better than those without, also its much easier to write if you already have their personalities sorted out, it means characters can interact better and makes writing the plot and the filler easier.

FFIX, much?

Reading through it all it looks to me like you're just taking bits of several stories and games and putting them together with a little bit of originality.
