#shionne i love you

[konfizry]

The in-game description mentions that Shionne's battlemaiden outfit might be good for archery; note the presence of the blue oversleeve (igote or yugote, i had do look that up) on her left arm, which you wear to prevent your sleeve from getting in the way as you hold the bow with your left arm and draw the string with your right hand, especially if you're shooting while on horseback apparently. Now the whimsy part comes in with the glove. It seems like if you want to go asymmetrical and wear only one glove, that's possible (as do practitioners of kyuudou for example) but. you'll probably want to wear it on the hand that draws the string. i.e. not on the side that has the igote. like what was the project here

#or just wear gloves on both hands. idk it just seems like the worst possible decision was made here #(anyway she never does wield bows so this is all very inconsequential) #shionne simping #i do love the bullets and cylinder patterns on the igote tho #like the audacity of it #of wearing a garment that is primarily designed for archery #and putting GUN STUFF on it because I HAVE A GUN it goes BANG BANG fuck bows #very shionnecore #no but for real i do like what they did with those patterns for real #it's cute. it works. #isnt shionne the cutest #arise curse #like adding little tails to the chambers in the cylinder pattern and suddenly we're in this Traditional Japanese Moment #like they kinda look like magatama or soul fires maybe #you might call it cheap i call it clever #tales of arise

[orcelito]

ok listen objectively kisara and dohalim would be a "straight" pairing but listen neither of them r cishet like OBJECTIVELY just look at them. they literally call dohalim "flamboyant" in canon just LOOK at him. theyre not straight. and i am cradling them in my hands.

#speculation nation #i have reached a new level of shipping where im like 'yes this is a m/f pairing no this is not straight' #bi4bi and t4t let's GO #or if not trans then at least gender-nonconforming which DEFINITELY counts. to me. #listen lady knight and flamboyant lord what's not to love here #ngl seeing this late game shit with the two of them is really getting me closer and closer to admitting i like the pairing #the scene where kisara first calls him 'Do'............ ldkfjslkdfjsdf #AND THEN her calling him that in front of the others and Law being like 'Did you just-' b4 Rinwell pushes him along lmaoo #everyone too busy dunking on dohalim to realize kisara actually really really likes him #to be fair she also dunks on him. he made green goop pancakes with his face on them and called it art i think he deserves to be dunked on #also OH GOD THE PANCAKES lksjdflsdjflskdjfslkdjf dohalim pancakes... and he legit put his face on them. #i was fucking cackling #im enjoying wandering around the game in this late-game setting. just a bunch of shenanigans #shionne's max campfire bonding like lskdjflsdkjf alphen get ur brain out of the GUTTER 'do you wanna make something together?' 'w-what?!' #like broooooooooooo but tbh i kinda had that thought too so maybe i cant blame him. it was just the face she made while saying it ok #and then fantasizing about domestic living together... like ok i wouldnt quite say i Ship them but they are very cute. & very canon #BUT ALSOOOOOOO dohalim's max convo slkfjsldkfj drinking together... alphen commenting that it'd be a good time for music... #and on the space ship thing dohalim asking him to support him with leading their peoples... ooughhhhh #i want them to be joint rulers soooooooo badly. They Both Have Two Hands. #i can be a shionne/alphen/dohalim/kisara truther ok. alphen and dohalim have Two Hands #ldkfjsldkfj many thoughts. maaany thoughts. also love dohalim commenting on law's nonexistent love life lksjdflkdjf #'it wouldnt be called the spring of youth without a little storm every now and then' ok old man lmao hes not even old hejust sounds like it #also them finding a wiener (their word choice) recipe & dohalim commenting 'Personally i prefer bologna' #dohalim likes bologna canon. i Knew he was my favorite for a reason. #he likes weird food in general tho. king shit i love him #toarise spoilers/ #lots of rambling sldkjflsfj i just love this game

Hello! I'm sorry to bother you, but, uhm, I'm new to the TOArise fandom, and lately I've been reading a lot of works on Ao3 (Alphionne my beloved). Apparently, there was some official content that came along with the anniversary parties..? For instance, there was this fic based on "Alphen confessing to Shionne after a whole year" thing from the Anniversary party?? I would really like to know more about it, but I have no idea where to even start looking lol. So,,, yeah. Sorry again, and have a lovely day!!

Oh it's a pleasure to (try to) answer as I rarely get asks 😊 for Arise's first anniversary there was an event in Japan that fans could attend called Anipa. For this event new official drawings came out with the Arise party wearing black and white fancy party outfits, perhaps you've seen those? And at the event there were skits performed by the voice actors. Unfortunately there was no recording of the event so we have to rely on fans recounting the story, plus an extra layer of translation if we don't understand Japanese. *I think* Alphen and Shionne's story was that he was worried about confessing to her that he still didn't after a year.

You can do a web search of "Tales of Arise First Anniversary Party" to see the outfits. If you want to brave looking through a bunch of Japanese tweets, I guess you try to search for "アルシオ　アニパ" (translates to "Arushio/AlShio Anipa") on Twitter. If so I would also try using the advanced search to look for tweets on or after September 25, 2022. Personally I didn't go to deep and relied mostly on what English fans were saying.

Hope this helps!

for the ship ask game - how about claude/lysithea and shionna/kisara? :3

From this ask game!

Claude/Lysithea:

Why don't you ship it?

It's not as though I dislike the ship! But I don't really ship it either because my favourite Lysithea ship is her with Cyril, and to me, Claude is like a big brother to Cyril so in turn becomes a similar role for Lysithea. Just gets in the way a bit for me!

What would have made you like it?

Me not seeing him as her brother in law, basically LMAO. No really, there are so few NOTPs I have in FE3H that you could easily sway me on most ships; I just have preferences.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

I so see Claude as being the perfect advocate for Lysithea's health. He's always looking out for his Deer, and Lysithea is no exception--romantically together, he would do well to make sure Lysithea's needs are tended to, and I think he would also be able to feel open with her. She's too clever, like him, to let him hide himself away.

Shionne/Kisara:

What made you ship it?

It's honestly quite simple for me... Shionne being flustered over muscular knight. But also, what really did it for me was how I love the thought of how Kisara would navigate her Thorns whilst Shionne still had them. With her knightly personality, I love the thought of Kisara courting her in other ways, and then finally kissing her hand once she can touch her (followed by an emotional hug and proper kiss).

What are your favourite things about the ship?

The contrast in their personalities, how much Kisara's caring nature would be good for Shionne and being there for her to open up. I need to replay to remember more about what their interactions were like!

I also love the idea of Shionne first being with Alphen but the two both being polyamorous and exploring their bisexuality, and in the process, Shionne falls for Kisara.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have about the ship?

As it's a rare pair I've never seen any opinions.

Thank you for the ask!

Today I'm gonna play: Tales of Arise

I'm not too familiar with the Tales series. I've heard of Tales of Symphonia and I've played the demo of Tales of Vesperia, but I had a friend suggest this title to me, so I'm giving this a go.

I've reached near the end of the game so far, and I have to say what a blast it's been! From story to gameplay, Arise as a lot to offer.

A lot of the JRPGs I've seen tend to be very tropey, and this one shows it too, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how they subverted it. A young boy that's high spirited would usually be just that, but in this he has to deal with loss of a struggling relationship; a tsundere would typically constantly put their love interest on edge by assaulting them with violence and love, but here we have a woman from a ''superior'' race being the way she is because of a side effect and her people. The entire game revolves around the whole theme of discrimination between races and within races, and I think they've definitely pulled it off well. Everytime I thought "They didn't bring x topic up, is that a plothole? " they actually do, and I really appreciate an rpg that goes in depth to explain everything with their world and characters through gameplay. The last time I experienced this sort of depth was with Final Fantasy X, which is another game that also deals with racism as a subplot. And even with its depth, I felt it was done rather tastefully and not because there simply should be a conflict in the story. I really wonder who wrote the game because I could find no such info online.. Maybe I'll try again once I'm done with the game. However, I do find the villains so far to be somewhat weak, there are 3 that I can think of in the first half of the game that were interesting and gave a feeling of genuine intimidation, but the rest haven't hit as well as them.

Next up is the gameplay. I'm more of a fan of quick, responsive and flashy combat these days when it comes to action. My gold standard is the Kingdom Hearts series because of this. Initial impressions for Arise were just okay, but as the game progressed and you unlock more features, it definitely checks all boxes. I also appreciate that the game respects my time, (as RPGs do require a good level of commitment) where I never had to grind in excess and always stayed in par with my leveling pace. It also helps that there are items you can cook to increase your exp rate. Exploration is fun and rewarding as you find tons of items, and it's not too linear either! However I must say that the second half of the game has been falling off in regards to that. Including fighting the same bosses and backtracking all the way to the beginning for lore purposes, but this also thins out exploration of the few levels that are new near endgame, making them barren and plain. I can understand for budgetary reasons they probably couldn't add more, but a change to the plot could fix this while still maintaining what's been shown, as the game's lore focuses on the relationship between two races and two worlds. One cool addition for the narrative are the skits and overworld/combat dialogue that plays amongst characters. Seeing their chemistry and filling in bits of the plot is a huge plus. It feels like there's actual chemistry within the cast rather than just people that happen to band together because the share similar goals.

Character designs are a hit or miss. The main stars Alphen and Shionne do get lucky and have various wardrobe changes as the game progresses that represent their journey, but the same cannot be said with every character. Dohalim, a party member is one example of a character that gets the short stick. He is the only dark skinned character of the main cast, and is dressed up in what looks to be Egyptian inspired clothing. This looks fine and dandy until I have realized I've seen 0 connection between his attire and his origins and setting, so this leaves me confused. The same goes for Law, another party member who has clothing that resembles what video game characters wear for martial arts. But I've not seen anything that explains why it should look that way, other than because he fights with his fists. For a game that's been subverting tropes in terms of characterization, it hasn't done too well in terms of design. But on the plus side, I do appreciate Kisara's design (another party member) for dressing like an actual knight and not having to skimp out on armor for the sake of fanservice. The game does have outfit and accessory options however, which helps improve their appearances, but depending on the character you can either get great outfits, or very average ones. However I do appreciate the choices of colours and the use of contrast depicting themes and relationships for the characters. Alphen and Shionne contrast each other in way that complements them as the hero and heroine, for instance. And regardless of how they look, I still love them as characters (especially Dohalim and Alphen!) Music goes pretty grand, with orchestral feats all around, so it always sounds epic. You also get vocals for special moments such as openings and credits in Japanese, which are nice enough to hang around in your head. I couldn't hear much variety with it though, with the different landscapes the game offers, making it sound a bit too similar. Sound effect choices are good enough to let the player know if they're low on CP (Cure Points) or they can do a special attack. One big thing I like about the game is the overall navigation. Inputs are quick, shortcuts are (mostly) easy to access with some neat features like switching party members or leaders, and the menu tends to change based on where you are in the game which is a nice touch. Cutscenes can also be progressed through with a button which is probably for those who want to rush the game for any reason, or just want combat.

For a game that has a lot stuffed in but still have some minor gripes with, I think I can safely say that this is a great JRPG, and possibly my favourite fantasy-based anime JRPG. (specific I know, I tend to group my favourites like that). I'm looking forward to finishing it off!

Terms exclusive to the game: Skits - Optional voice cutscenes that the tales games have that revolve around the characters and/or their world Cure Points (CP) - The mana system in this game used for healing and buffs.
