I’ve been bouncing a few verse ideas around in my head for a while.  Like... mainly Suikoden, Pokemon... Kingdom Hearts / various FF verses.  There are a few others though.  do not underestimate the brainrot

#I've got a little idea for Rei for almost every numbered FF plus a few extras #my crystal chronicle verse ideas are good. trust me. they're good. #but honestly? i came up with ffx tatsumi verse a while ago and i've been building off of it like a man possessed #so that's the one i'm most invested in. #Out of Character.

[hoenniswheretheheartis]

today on xiv:

my alt on louisoix went back to gridania to do archery stuff and I realised I still hadn't seen the retainer quest.

vocate then asks if I'd like one. :o

guess you only need to do that quest once per acc, then you're good as long as you join the scions?

--

also I realised belatedly they have the same face type as my main so every other cutscene is really throwing me off. Worth using the ARR Fantasia for? hm. dunno.

#icy talk #ff x or v (ffx|v) #also [grumble that most mogstation gear is per character not per acc. boo.] #[if you don't want us making alts #then let us visit other regions and celebrate stuff with friends] #my mate has an alt in almost every DC so they can hang with friends and go to weddings etc #I'm mainly here to pester them to finish ShB with me ;p

Queen Lucinda Edevane

Pretends my Discord ramblings make any sense and throws one of my OCs at you. LORE dump below:

Sort of a brief preface but imagine my universe is Avatar the Last Airbender if every Nation had an Avatar of Each Element. And there are no non-benders! Everyone can use some degree of said magic. And that they needed all said Avatars to work together to defeat the ultimate Evil Entity, because doing it alone/without Avatar powers have proved to be impossible for centuries. If anyone has played FFX it's very much the same concept of "there is a recurring darkness that we are stuck in a perpetual cycle trying to defeat bc the main characters haven't arrived yet" ---

So there are Avatars of Five Elements for my universe: Lighting/Storm(kinda broad but imagine like,,airbending/lightning bending combined) Water/Ice/Sea (Any liquid tbh) Earth/Nature (stone/earth/leaves/plants), Lunar (magic moonbeams babyyy), Solar (cast fireball) < -- the missing element is Solar, and it's been gone for hundreds of years, never choosing an 'Avatar' (ive been calling them 'Arbiters') and nobody knows where the source of the Element is to try and 'persuade' it to choose another "Host" (Enter Samantha Sinclair, but that's another part of the story)

SO ALL THAT SAID:

HERE is one of my Deuteragonists MOMS. She's part of the LONG line of magic users whose bloodline has always been chosen by the source of Lunar Magic. RE: There's always been a rich royal Lunar Magic 'Arbiter', for generations. It seems to be 'passed down' the line. Maybe they have a whole 'Choosing Ritual' (even tho that's not how the magic works, rich people be silly and privelaged).

So she is in what is the Royal Family of this world. While all the elemental nations have their own leadership, the Lunar Kingdom/Nation/Etc has the most powerful magic/and the family kind of rules everyone because of that. Targaryens vs other Houses ala Game of Thrones.

When she is young, Lucinda (that's her name) <- is SECOND in line to inherit the throne, should her brother (who is the Arbiter of Lunar magic at that time) die. WELL, turns out he does, meaning the Lunar Kingdom loses both it's Arbiter and it's heir in one fell swoop to a bad battle with the Ambiguous Evil Forces I haven't come up with yet.

So OOPS she's suddenly saddled with responsibility she wasn't supposed to have, which is in this world less of a "ok you're queen now go produce a male heir" and more of a "oh you're queen now, and ALSO you better make sure this Arbiter nonsense stays in our bloodline".

So that kinda sucks for her -- her consolation prize is being allowed to marry the captain of her Kingsgaurd (straight bodygaurd AU ooooOOOoo) the only problem is---he's a weak ass magic user. So her family is a little sus that any kids they have would have a chance to be chosen as the next Arbiter. But she INSISTS, it's the one good choice she gets to make for herself bc oops she happens to genuinely love this guy

Anyway their first kid (Elias) ISSSSSSSSSSS --- not chosen. Firstborn, next in line, not the Arbiter. Very embarrassing for everyone involved. So kid number two, one of my deuteragonists, Lucy -- is more of a 'necessity', rather than a 'want' from her parents. And it shows in the strain in their relationship. Lucinda (Mom) (Lucille, 'Lucy' is literally named to echo her ) regrets her own choice to marry for love because she feels like she fucked up - she also resents having to take on that responsibility in the first place, so her attitude toward Lucy (who luckily WAS chosen as the Lunar Arbiter) is very "I fucked up hard so you better not blow this for us ---"

anyway. Here she is looking grumpy. the end.

i appreciate ffx because it's one of the few final fantasy games where the main character isn't so brooding and serious. pretty much every final fantasy game after 7 has the same archetype for the main character except 10 and maybe 12. we need more dumb jocks as protagonists!

#clive and noctis seem like the same character i'm sorry #t

[hrodvitnon]

The Abraxasverse Internet running down the list of ice powers/characters/objects/etc to compare Shimo to and it's driving her up the walls.

Shimo: I swear to the high heavens... I can't keep up anymore. What is a Frozone??

Rodan: Shimo-

Shimo: Last week it was the Leviathan Axe?? Leviathan's not an axe!

Mothra: Hun-

Shimo: What is a Shiva??

Godzilla: Ooh, that's a good one...

Mothra: Goji!

Godzilla: Sorry!

Shimo: What the hell does ice have to do with Pet Shops?!

(also, alternate crack voice to consider for Shimo: Pippa Bennett-Warner's Malenia from Elden Ring. Every time she wins a spar against Goji she hits him with some variant of 'I am Shimo, Blade of the North' or something that starts to really get on his nerves)

(Honestly, Goji, same. FFX Shiva with the dreads and the sass and the snap, hello!)

Shimo pulls the "I am Malenia" speech and everyone in a ten mile radius who played the game immediately gets an Elden PTSD flashback; she doesn't know why, she thought it was just one of those jokey things humans say! Why is everyone scared now?!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers.

Thanks for the ask game!

A lot of these are probably gonna seem kind of "base", or like highly specific.

1: Getting lunch at work

I don't always get lunch at work because I'm either about to be super late, or because I've been spending too much money and I need to try and cut back to make rent. Lately it hasn't been as much of a problem. Either way, getting lunch at work always makes me happy.

We can order in from a local cafe/restaurant, and every day has its own associated special. My favorite special is on Wednesday - it's a chicken burger with chips (fries) for $13. The burger has half of a chicken schnitzel on it, which is cut in half again to make two burger-sized patties, as well as mayo and lettuce. Eating is a general pleasure whether I'm at work or not, but getting to sit down and eat well after working my ass off for like three hours straight is a real highlight of my work day.

2: Video games

I've always been super into games, and even as I've gotten older games have probably been the most influential media in my life. I'm able to take a step back and acknowledge real life; I'm not exactly well-adjusted, but I'm not living in a fantasy world either y'know.

I could cite at least thirty games here. I love Tetris. Life is Strange fucking rules. I've been playing Runescape on and off for almost twenty whole-ass years of my life. Minecraft has gotten me through some of the toughest years of my life. Turn-based RPGs were a fairly late-stage thing I got into as a teenager - my favorite games growing up were like Jak and Daxter, and eventually Sonic the Hedgehog - but now it's probably one of my favorite genres, and I am certifiably Not Normal about Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest.

It's probably bad that I don't have a more sociable hobby, but man - video games are the best. I love video games.

3: Final Fantasy in particular

Look I'm really deep in the Final Fantasy mines rn so I'm just gonna vent.

I'd dabbled in RPGs before, with the PS2 pack-in demo disc including a demo for Dark Cloud and with me eventually owning both a Harry Potter game and Pokemon Yellow and Crystal on the Game Boy Color. I'd also tried to emulate Chrono Trigger, but keyboard controls and general impatience left me feeling kinda bleh about the whole thing.

Final Fantasy was beyond my scope as a kid, and I actually wouldn't come into direct contact with a Final Fantasy game until high school. I lent a friend of mine Tekken Advance - which is a 2D sprite-based port of Tekken 3 for the GBA, with mixed results - and he lent me Final Fantasy X in return.

I did not like Final Fantasy X. At all.

I grew up on Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank. I grew up on Pokemon and - of all games - Rocket Slime on the DS. The shortcomings of the Game Boy Pokemon games were whatever, because they were Game Boy games - they still had their own flow and charm, while FFX felt dated and stiff.

FFX came out around the same time as Jak and Daxter, and that game runs circles around it! Real-time shadows, 60fps, dynamic character animations etc. Ratchet and Clank was the same. Of course, it wouldn't come out until way later that Naughty Dog games were basically freaks of nature, with the first Crash Bandicoot going so far as to overclock the PS1 to run properly, and both the Jak games and RnC - which used the same engine as Jak and Daxter, and proprietary code from the games as well - being borderline un-emulatable for a good while, because the tech was so cutting edge and unlike anything else on the market that any support for those games would have to be tailor-made for how they ran.

But that's the comparison I had. It's the early 2010's, and FFX fails to impress even among its own contemporary releases. That's how I felt.

Time passes. I get really bummed out at one point, and there's nothing that I want to play. I just want to sit there and play a game at a steady pace, and I don't want that game to ask very much of me - I want to make progress without the active gameplay that a Jak and Daxter would ask of me.

And then I remember that jank-ass PS2 launch title that I basically forced my way through until I gave up. I'd given it back to my friend years ago, and I went down to the game store and bought my own copy. Worst case scenario, I wasted a few bucks on a game I would continue to dislike - but I was listless and bummed out, and I wanted something to play.

I bought FFX-2 before I even finished the first game. Playing FFX again just hooked me in for good.

I played Final Fantasy 5. I played a bunch of FF1's GBA remake. I tried to emulate FF6 and FF8 (the latter after demolishing Kingdom Hearts 1), but like Chrono Trigger, something just didn't feel right and I couldn't progress. I end up playing FF13 and its sequel, I watch playthroughs of 7 and 9 (though I did play a significant portion of 9), and I get into spinoffs like World of Final Fantasy.

Today, I'm knee-deep in Final Fantasy at most points of the day.

I appreciate the games on their individual merits, but I really love the connective tissue. I'm a huge FF5 guy, and Gilgamesh on the Big Bridge is one of the huge, hallmark moments of that game - his appearances in later games, starting with FF8, create an organic sort of expanded universe through the Void that was introduced in the same game.

I like that Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 13 are ridiculously at odds with each other concerning their approach to game design. I like how FFX is this beautiful game based on like southeast Asian culture, and how FF8, in comparison, has you fighting fucking dinosaurs with a big sword that has a revolver barrel on it. Final Fantasy is a ridiculous, endlessly robust franchise, and I love it dearly.

4: Songs with wordy lyrics

This one's as honed-in and esoteric as possible. I love a song that goes crazy with the wording in the verses.

I don't have any screenshots on this phone, because I've made endlessly detailed posts about this before, but I'll offer some examples.

The champion of this type of songwriting has got to be Dar Williams, with her song Iowa being absolutely packed with lyrics. At one point, between verses, she manages to squeeze in a little interjection that adds so much flavour to what she was already saying - it's like "once I had everything, I gave it up / for a corner of the driveway in the woods I've never felt / and for you, I've come this far across the tracks / ten miles above the limit and with no seatbelt (and I'd do it again)". All the verses in that song are that wordy, but that "and I'd do it again" is EXTRA EFFORT between this verse and the next part of the song, and it's just such an awesome song that she gave 110% on.

But even smaller lyrics that get unexpectedly wordy in an offbeat way are very pleasant to hear in a song that might not be super wordy in the long run. Idylls of the King by the Mountain Goats is this huge, grand, romantic song (in an album about two people basically stuck circling the drain and pulling each other down with them, which is arguably most famous for being the album with No Children on it) with structure like "this place, with its old plantations / these roads, heading out towards the sea" and "your eyes, twin volcanoes / bad ideas, dancing around in there" - very effective, emotionally evocative lyricism, sure, but the second verse busts out this line:

"and I dreamed of vultures, in the trees around our house / and cicadas, and locusts, and the shrieking of innumerable gibbons"

And the WAY he sings "the shrieking of innumerable gibbons" just SCRATCHES AN ITCH IN MY BRAIN in a way that's super hard to describe.

Maria Mena also has songs that do this, though I won't touch them due to subject matter. Overall, wordy lyrics in songs make me very happy.

5: Hawaiian shirts

I'm not always a very outgoing or cheerful person in real life, but Hawaiian shirts help me to make up the deficit. They're bright and outgoing, communicating a laidback sort of vibe, and they're very open and breezy which is great for ease of movement. Hawaiian shirts make up a significant portion of my wardrobe, and I really relish the opportunity to get more because even the act of throwing one on and buttoning it up - or god forbid, taking a buttoned up shirt I've worn before and just sliding into it - honestly makes me feel so good. Not a lot of clothes fit me, but my stable of Hawaiian shirts never lets me down. In the words of a great philosopher: they're comfy and easy to wear.

#thank you for the ask!!

FFX

Accidentally one of the best turn-based RPG's of all time.

I say accidentally, because from subsequent games, we've seen just how much Squeenix absolutely loathes the gamers playing their games, and does everything they can to prevent the gamer from having control.

For Final Fantasy X, they used every GB of disc-space on the BLU-ray, and every ounce of power for the PS2. They didn't use it or complex battle mechanics, instead they created a work of beauty that had never been seen before. All of the characters are wonderful, likeable, and flawed. There is maybe one villain that is not likeable. His is given the woobie treatment, but this never is used to justify his actions. You still hate him, even if you feel a bit sorry for him.

For combat, it was actually quite simple. Which is all you need. Even still, it introduced a number wonderful features that have strangely rarely been used.

Final Fantasy has infamously used the ATB system. The ATB system looks like a turn-based RPG, but still has time passing. This is exciting, but also forces you to use basic attacks, as it would take too much time to run through the menus. FFX creates a timeline. Every action takes a certain amount of time, with all of the characters shown on a timeline about when their turn would be. Skills that affect the timeline will show their anticipated effect. This allows the simple combat system to allow extremely detailed planning.

Most of the story battles add additional actions that prevent the system from ever feeling stale.

FFX introduced the concept of grid-based leveling, that is close to standard, nowadays. Was it good? No, but honestly, it's better than anything else Squeenix has come up with.

The equipment is still one of the absolute best of any RPG. Weapons don't have damage. In most RPG's, weapons have escalating damage, and anything else is normally secondary. In FFX, they have no damage, with the damage entirely based off the character's Strength. Instead, the other effects are the only concern. This means that every weapon is different, and useful.

Chained Echoes

If I knew it was published by Deck13, I would have skipped over it, and missed out. Deck13 has a tendency to try and reinvent the genre, and every attempt at making it better simply makes it worse.

Except this, and apparently Blood Knight. Blood Knight notably did NOT try to reinvent the genre, and was instead quite fun.

Chained Echoes is a traditional-style Japanese RPG, and in fact, it does what FFXII tried and failed to do, so many years ago. FFXII wanted to eliminate the transition between combat and exploration.

In Chained Echoes, the characters seem like a traditional 8/32 bit pixel world, but can freely and fluidly move in any direction. When it comes to combat, the characters line up, and the combat menu pops up.

The characters are interesting, and diverse, in the real sense, (their roles in combat and the story are diverse).

The combat system adds a couple of really interesting features. The first is Overdrive, (no, not the Limit Break, although there is a limit break metre), but what in the infantry we called Momentum. Momentum is essential in combat. If you run too hot, you lose any benefit you gained, but if you let your momentum drop, you have a LOT of trouble getting it back, and you start to stagnate. So, everything you can do either increases or decreases the Overdrive gauge. Swapping out reduces it, most things increase it, some abilities will switch from increasing it while the metre is low to decreasing it later in the battle. This takes a lot of getting used to, but the game will always show you what the result would be, and even colours the arrows, so you can see exactly where it will land.

As for the swapping system, you tag-team characters. FFX introduced Swapping, and there was nothing to stop you from swapping a thousand times in the same battle. Rather than putting limits on the number of times you can swap, this has you assign partners. You can swap the partners as much as you want. Swapping always reduces Overdrive, which is essential later in the battle, and enemies can Stagger you, which lasts 8 turns, or until swap out.

An AI Use

My buddy came up with an ethical use for AI Vocals:

In a voiced game, you could spend a few minutes at the start telling the game how to pronounce your character name, and then every voiced character could call you by whatever name you entered.

Like, imagine if FFX had the "what is your name?" where it defaulted to Tidus, but if you entered Jack as your name, or Slurmp, everyone just called you that. In the voiced cutscenes. In their own voices.

I don't think VAs would get offended by the expanded capability, provided they were told how it worked and the contract only permitted use for that specific purpose within that specific game. It's a voice acting job that would be physically/temporally unfeasible (asking all your voice actors to stay for an extra 5 years to record all words players might come up with as character names), to add a little flavor to the title.

You could still pay them for a session with the default name, and maybe extra for a session where they do reads of a variety of extra names to train up the model for the task.

[enden-k]

I really wanna play final fantasy but I'm a little bit intimidated by the amount of games.

absolutely understandable but lemme tell you, its harder to get into fate universe than FF HSHDHS

every FF game is a story in its own, meaning you dont really have to play certain games before to understand smth. theres just always some same summons popping up (shiva, ifrit, bahamut, etc) or certain "mascots" everyone knows (chocobos, moogles, cactuar,...), every game has its own cid etc etc. the stories or characters tho are always different and not connected w other parts (in dissidia the protags all band together tho, it was the hypest i felt when i saw them all in the trailer i can still feel it UGHHHHH)

some games have more parts tho or spin offs (FFVII and crisis core, dirge of cerberus, etcetc; FFX, FFXIII etcetcetc) so obv there u would have to play at least the first to kinda understand the continuation

anw im babbling sorry, im just v excited about it. long story short, FF looks intimidating (16 main games so far w tons of other games like dissidia, wof, T-0 ...) but its actually easy to get into it. if u need help or recs or whatever, absolutely feel free to ask!!

And here was I having some different Carol rots again:

Firstly I also wanted to draw  Carol x Vigil @authoruio myself, at least once as I did with every Carol ship.

Then some Carol Daido @forestwispocs cuteness cause I am soft with them.

And Lastly a FFX au featuring @forestwispocs Melody and @rookvonhunt Kirsten so we have Carol as Yuna, Melody as Rikku and Kirsten as Paine..

I thought Carol really fits into the role of Yuna soo, I had to draw it.

Next will be again two crystaleon characters cause I am weak...
