Building Better Heretics

(Chronicle of Heresy has been officially cancelled. This collection will be left for organizational purposes, but it will not be expanded or followed up on.)   I've been doing more brainstorming about Chronicle of Heresy. Spoiler alert: Ahkmou and the other Great Disk Matoran are going to become Shadow Toa. Ahkmou got a starring role in the short story that this story will be continuing off of, and I did write a Vhisola story a while back, but I got to thinking. Really, none of these characters

Games I'd Like to See Before III

(Some spoilers of course)   While I do hope the upcoming Kingdom Hearts announcement has to do with X and its potential localization, there are a few other possibilities I’d like to see explored in Kingdom Hearts games. Not sure how likely any of them are to be this new smartphone game, and if not, then they’re probably not going to happen because we probably would have heard something by now, but…you know.   Something that a lot of people have proposed is a game with Kairi and Lea training to b

Requiem for a Slizer (SIGNUPS CLOSED!)

The time has come, folks.   With the Judge Slizer’s timeline sinking into the void, the Judge Coronet and the Ice Coronet have met up for one final battle.   The winner will determine the fate of the remaining scraps of the Slizer population. The loser…well, I’m sure you can guess.   Are you ready to do your duty? For Coronet and Cancellation?   (It’s Slizer Mafia 3 yo, come on down for a disk-throwin’ good time)

Bioni-Lords Clearance: Book 3 Part 2

Volt-Isle and Fe-Isle could be presented in either order. While it does make sense that the gang would go to Fe-Isle first, given Genakex is a Steel specialist, I was thinking of visiting Volt-Isle first, since we used Fe-Isle first in Sekai and I wanted to begin showing Zempyst and Aile sooner. As I’ve shown in previews, these two are in a relationship, with Aile being hyperactive and clingy and Zempyst being a total tsundere. I was planning to involve the Assassination Division: while Aile

Asterisk Guide: Cat Master

Asterisk Holder: Minnette Goroneze (pictured left)     Origin: Bravely Second   Was It In Bravely Default?: No   Overview: Cat Master works by, well…calling cats to the field! It seems this can be done in two ways: 1. Using the Job’s innate command to call out cats that will buff or debuff, and 2. Using cat food items dropped by enemies to call out cats that will launch an attack. Cat foods can also be combined for more powerful cats, though this ability is currently being rebalanced.   Perso

Is This the Yesterday Best You Can Do?

For a while now I’ve had an urge to try developing my comedy-writing skills, and after starting and stopping a few things, I finally decided to just roll with a short idea, put it out there, and see how it goes.   So I wrote The Yesterday Jest to poke some fun at some of that serial’s key things. Well, the Toa, mainly. Honestly the main driving force was my disdain for Orde, but I tried to balance things at least a little more fairly. It’s under 1000 words so it’s a quick read, hopefully good

Last Trial

To further expand upon the world of Olkir, I’ve posted The Twins of Justice in short stories!   It’s about the same length as the last one, and centers around an idea that…might not make an appearance in the final story, but I think it’s a neat concept with potential so I wanted to do at least one small thing with it. It also shows two elemental weapons in action: the Sun Gun I’ve mentioned a few times before, and a Jungle weapon named the Viridian Bow, which is actually something that’s been s

Pahrak's PokéRecords: Normal

Well, this is a short entry.   -Pidgeot ("Tori")   Yep, that's it. I can't say I'm a fan of Normal type, since Normal Pokémon don't really strike me as interesting that often. There are some that I like the design of, but not enough to include them on my team--I'd prefer that slot be used by a Pokémon that can get STAB on a move that will actually cause super-effective damage. I'd guess there's probably not a high chance of me using Normal types frequently on future teams either.   Anywho, ne

So Dragon Ball is Back

Dragon Ball Super started. Honestly, not a lot happened in the first episode, and it looks like the next episode will be about the same, but! I’ve discovered that we have finally been given some official word on the near-future plot! It appears that Super is first going to do an arc retelling Battle of Gods, then follow with an arc retelling Revival of F, and this news is…well, I’m wondering if they’re going to change events (and if so, how), but it kind of means that we’ll need to wait throu

Thoughts on the Miitopia Demo

Everyone knows I love (J)RPGs, so it should come as no surprise that when I heard about an RPG you can stick Miis in and watch their Tomadachi Life-esque interactions, I was intrigued. Now that the demo is available on the eShop, I picked it up and played through it, and figured I’d do a post about it because why not.   The gist, for those of you unaware, is that you are a traveler in a fantasy world inhabited by Miis. A Dark Lord has begun stealing people’s faces and sticking them on monsters,

Pokemon News Makes It All Better

Been sick since Tuesday night. It's made for an interesting finals week, haha...   Not done yet, though. My school is doing this weird thing with the schedule, so I have one last exam on Monday. I've got a good feeling about that, though. I just need to finish my last assignment first.   I'm really going to miss that class. Several unexpected topics came up, culminating in the teacher actually Rickrolling us on the last normal class day. Good times...   Oh, but I want to apologize--I haven

More Kingdom Hearts Thoughts

I decided to sit down and watch the Re:coded cinematics in Kingdom Hearts II.5 today. Coincidentally, I just saw a post on another site reminding us of that tiny bit of trivia regarding its origins, and it also had a link to an article which I perused.   One line that stood out to me was one of the staff members being interviewed who, reflecting on the initial pitch of coded, said, "At first the plan seemed terrible, but at the same time interesting." And I'm laughing because that's really all y

The Pendulum Swings

The Time of the Mask Makers, The Fourth Swing, is now live!   This chapter serves mainly as transition from the backstory that was the first three chapters towards how things are in the 2015 animations. Also, after a few passing mentions in previous chapters, Makuta actually visits the Temple of Time in this chapter, and something peculiar happens...   Next week: the climax!

I'm Glad That Video Game Concerts Are a Thing

The Kingdom Hearts concert just started up in Japan and we got this masterpiece to commemorate it     It makes me feel happy, which is good because very soon now JA KHX is going to get its final story update and that's going to be rough.

An Update At Long Last

Right of Law, Section VIII, is now live in the Epics Forum!   Sorry this one took so long. (Octopath Traveler is good.)   Velika’s assault on Bitil’s outpost continues, and his new method of attack proves quite devastating. Zaekura is hard at work on her plan, but even if she can pull it off, there’s still the question of if the others can hold out until it’s ready.   Hopefully Section IX won’t take as long…

"And I Took the Octopath Less Traveled"

I’ve logged roughly 72 hours on this game, beaten the eight main stories, found all twelve jobs, explored every dungeon, and cleared all sidequests with the exception of two that have unusually tough bosses and one that is the Absolutely Final Test of True Power and Strategy. So I can say with confidence: Octopath Traveler isn’t exactly what I thought it would be, but I’d still say it’s a very good game. (Vague spoilers ahead.)   Leading into this game, what I was expecting was that as the game

Tsundere Program Non-Optional

I’m watching someone play Steins;Gate 0 and I realized something. (No spoilers don’t worry.)   Amadeus Kurisu is an AI based on the memories of someone who (during the plot of 0) is dead.   MegaMan.EXE is an AI who (somehow) incorporates the DNA of a deceased person.   Basically they’re one and the same and I propose we refer to Amadeus Kurisu as MegaMakise.EXE from now on.
