A little more information has come in on Bravely Second, mainly confirmation that Edea has been rebuilding Eternia and working with Agnes to create peace. It looks like "judging" the Asterisk Holders means meeting them, hearing their problems, and deciding who to help. We also have some more info (and better images!) of some of the new Jobs, so I'll update the Asterisk Guides later today. Also, the Pokken Tournament stream was this morning, and the game is looking great! Three new Pokemon
So I don’t know if you remember, but a while back I decided I was going to do a series of connected fanfics in parallel to the release of G2, trying to put my own spin on the universe with each new wave. Well, I finally got around to finishing the next one, and I present for your reading pleasure The Failure’s Claim! Before you click that link, please note that this story was made to tie together the previous two, so isn’t really a good starting point. The Time of the Mask Makers and In Our
When I heard about this year’s exchange, I jumped on it right away. This was a great way to stimulate activity in the Library Forum and I’m excited to peruse all the results over the next week or so! As for my match-up, I was tasked with writing a story for Nick Silverpen, whose suggestions included checking in on alternate universes and taking a closer look at some of the Makuta. Using those it was a quick jump to Melding Universe Makuta, and in a universe where the Makuta are supposed to b
Well, I'm back from both Isshu and Pennsylvania. (I've been playing a lot of Pokemon White 2 and I went to Pennsylvania for a family event.) I'm in that awkward phase of post-story play where all my potential opponents are either too weak or too strong... And if you're wondering about my team: Serperior, Keldeo, Genesect, White Kyurem, Gigalith (all Level 72), and Chandelure (Level 74). Believe it or not, I actually managed to update the Spirit Index! The list now goes to 1573--new Spirits ar
Asterisk Holder: Amy Matchlock Origin: Bravely Second Was It In Bravely Default?: No Overview: This Job seems to specialize in the new gun weaponry that will be available in Bravely Second. We have also been told that it possesses buffs and abilities for hitting all enemies. In addition, it seems that Amy can light her arrows on fire—how this might translate to the playable Job remains to be seen. Personal Thoughts: The first brand-new Job we had confirmed! This will probably be ou
In Our Bones, The Fourth Break, is live! I wasn’t sure if I was going to make this story four or five parts, but the ending scenario ended up being so long that I decided to split it. As a result, this chapter is a little on the shorter side, so sorry about that. The main focus here is on the Skull Slicer, shedding a little light on what he’s been up to in the background of this story and setting up for the conflict that’s going to arise in The Final Break. It also serves to explain a conne
We have a ton of fighters now, most of which are Bionicle, so I'm giving them their own list and moving the others here. May further divide this if one of these themes ends up with a lot of fighters. The list of Bionicle fighters can be found here. Slizers: -Torch of the Heavens (Fire Slizer) Tournament 3-B Champion! Strength: start 12, current 18 Agility: start 10, current 14 Toughness: start 14, current 18 Mind: start 12, current 21 Powers and Items: Can shoot flames from his Inferno Gaunt
After letting the document sit for longer than I should have, I finally wrote more of Divine Strength, and now things are actually getting somewhere. Chapter 2 featured the Queen of Light finding Riniyon's lair and discovering that he has created a spell capable of knocking a Queen's crown from her head--something that should be impossible. I didn't post this bit since the basics are in one of the short stories I wrote while I was forming the idea. I have, however, posted my rough draft of C
-Giratina ("Vezon") -Spiritomb -Chandelure ("Lumiere") -Golurk ("Ralph") -Aegislash ("Ultima") I actually really, really like the Ghost type. The weird thing is, I haven't really trained all that many Ghost Pokemon...still, the ones that I have trained have been among the best Pokemon on their respective teams. We've got a legendary, a Pokemon (previously) without a weakness, a chandelier with massive special attack, a golem that can tear Dragons apart with its bare fists, and a haunted swor
There's a fine line between "callback" and "rehash" and it sounds like we might've crossed it Also Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is such a mouthful I get what they were going for but Super Saiyan God 2 would've flowed better
So the new multiplayer mode of the KH mobile game just...isn't that good, IMO. I messed around with it a bit when it first came out and I just haven't even considered touching it since. This week, they're adding a new avatar costume you can only get by playing said multiplayer mode These are the most beautiful costumes I've ever seen and I take back everything I just said. I am going to play multiplayer until I drop. Not sure where they came from, but I'm really, really hoping they some
Technic Coliseum Tournament 11 is live. We actually have a perfect number of fighters, so no one will be without an opponent at any point! Well...unless two people matched up against each other don't post strategies and both get disqualified, that would leave an opening...so, hoping that doesn't happen. Really hoping this Tournament goes well, because we need something to make the game interesting again. Also, I've been thinking that to get myself more motivated for Bioni-Lords maybe I shou
Like I wasn’t going to enter The Legend Continues. Come on. You can win The Artbook! Plus 2016 sets I wasn’t able to afford, so even if I get second or third it’s still awesome, but…mainly The Artbook! Er, anyway, I just posted Second Star! I should probably say it’s…rather long. Around 4300 words. I didn’t mean to get carried away, there was just a lot that I wanted to get in and even after cutting back I still had a lot left. Please forgive me. I got excited by the mention of that le
Section XV has just been posted! Sorry this one took so long. I talked about this over on Twitter, but I decided that since I had three ongoing fanfics, it might be better to put all my focus on finishing one of them to give myself a little less to worry about. But now, I’ve completed my Mega Man ZX fic, so here’s a new chapter of Right of Law to prove that it’s not dead! …Unfortunately…that’s about all it is… Y’see, while my plans for where Law is headed aren’t entirely set in stone, th
RPG Contest 21 has opened up...and I have entered.
Project Kaizen Mk. III: Ihu's Blessing
It's based on Greek mythology, with the Toa functioning as gods and goddesses. Onua, Toa of the Earth, wishes Bionicles and humans to form stronger bonds, so he discovered a way to create humans with Bionicle-like powers: demi-Toa. Players will create a demi-Toa and engage humans, Rahkshi, and other demi-Toa in battle, shooting for whatever goal they want. Just be prepared, in case a powerful enemy sho
31. Beat, whose real name is too complicated for me to write out, is the kind of person I would hate if I met him on the street. He's a tough guy punk with a skateboard and a bad attitude, and he's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Over the course of the game, though, we begin to uncover more of Beat's character and backstory, and by the end you begin to admire him for his determination. Being able to take a character so far from their first impression isn't easy, but Beat is a fan
After exploring everywhere in my first randomized Leaf Green, I decided to try a new playthrough with a fresh randomization. This time I also changed up Pokémon’s typing, so that’s been interesting and at times difficult. (Fighting an Electrode with Wonder Guard is tough when you don’t know what’s super effective.) I’ve been playing on and off for a while, and using more cheats this time because who cares, but right now we have seven badges and the team is all level 50. -Poliwaug: My starter,
MUAHAHAHAHA!! After 35 hours of patient and meticulous work, I, the great mad scientist Greninja #0579, have opened Steins Gate wide and raided its treasure for all it is worth! The way was long and filled with hardship, but these many spoils have made the pain worth it! Now, using the results of this operation, I can return to my true goal: destroying the System which the Organization uses to rule the world from the shadows, ushering the world into a new age of chaos! Those foolish mortals
This post contains spoilers for Steins;Gate…and a lot of nonsense! I’m disappointed that they never really properly explained Kyouma’s Reading Steiner. I understand that everyone possesses Reading Steiner, and that its level of strength varies from person to person. Kyouma, then, possesses a very strong Reading Steiner. But, is this something that just is, or is there a reason for it? Was it always like this, or was it something that developed? We know that, during 2000, Kyouma came d
Now that Hotel of Okoto is over and I've submitted my entry to The Legend Continues, this seems like a good time. So, I’m sort of in the process of trying to obtain a new job and a new apartment, ideally by about August. This is all very up in the air right now, and I feel like I shouldn’t start on any more major commitments until I get this sorted out—if I have to take time to move and get new Internet service, it could potentially throw a wrench into whatever I’m in the middle of. Basical
First off, I should tell you I've updated the Spirit Index. It's not quite complete as of this typing, but there's only a handful to add and I should get to that soon. I haven't gotten a chapter up yet, and while I'll try to get that up by the end of the week you just might have to wait until next week...sorry.
But! Since I am now writing Sekai's final arc, I decided now would be a great time to give you all a preview of just what's in store! I'm giving you brief previews of the rest of D
(Yeah, that title is definitely gonna grab attention, heheheheh…) A new update for Right of Law is up, but before I get to that: in the time since the last update, this story was actually featured on the home page! This really floored me—it’s a huge honor to know that someone on the staff read this story I’ve been working so hard on and thought it was worth letting other people know about it! I’ll continue doing my best to make this story a good read, and hopefully I won’t drag my feet about
Asterisk Holder: Unknown Origin: Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings Was It In Bravely Default?: No Overview: Fencers are said to be able to increase their defense ("Bison Horn") and speed ("Falcon Claw"). They fight using special sword techniques. Personal Thoughts: We don’t have much to go on, so I can’t really say a whole lot. I’m not sure what sort of sword techniques are available that won’t overlap with Swordmaster, though. Apparently, in the Final Fantasy games where this is a Job,
This post will serve as reference for all the stories written for the Okoto 579 (or O579) series, a set of connected fanfics that all take place on one alternate version of Okoto. Each entry will provide a link to the story (and its review topic where applicable), which wave of sets/season of the story prompted it, and a brief summary of the concept. -The Time of the Mask Makers: (Review, Winter 15) Long, long ago in the Region of Earth, there lived two brothers: Ekimu and Makuta.
