Went to that wheel of names thing to randomly pick the new Arcana, here's the lineup.
Fool Fuuka
Lovers Kotone
Magician Akihiko
Emperor Ken
Priestess Aigis
Empress Yukari
Chariot Junpei
Strength Shinjiro
Justice Mitsuru
Hierophant Koromaru
Already decided on making Aigis a human and Junpei a robot. Priestess!Aigis is named Aina Shiratori, Chariot!Junpei might be named Adamant or Jupiter, or maybe I'll find a better name for him. Still unsure on the situations with Ken and Mitsuru (do they keep their original ages or is Ken a teenager and Mitsuru a child now), and Shinjiro and Koromaru (do they swap species, and how does October 4th go down regardless of what species they end up as).
spin this wheel for a length of fic. you have to write a fic that length
I’ve just been wandering around and haven’t done any dungeons, but I’ll hide the rest of this so people can avoid spoilers.
-Gerudo Town still doesn’t allow men (except those Gorons from BotW, lame. Also do you guys think it’s actually “no boys allowed” (meaning nonbinary folks are allowed since they aren’t boys) or just “women only” (meaning no nonbinary folks allowed since they aren’t women)?
-Paya my beloved. Glad Impa isn’t dead from what the NPCs have said.
-Purah is making it hard for me to figure out the timeline. I thought this was only a few years after BotW at most, but somehow she looks like a young adult despite being stuck looking like a kid in BotW.
-Chris Hackney Lizardman(?) being named Raaru is weird, gotta be some lore there.
-One of my friends told me about two things on the Great Plateau. The first was to go to the old man’s shack from BotW because there was a cool hat. Went there and ended up getting one shot by a buff Yiga guy because hey there’s still around. It seems like you do indeed get a hat after fighting the Yiga, but still. The second was a miniboss in the northwestern part of the plateau that he fought way too early (he was at four hearts and got some good weapons by killing it, he’s built different though don’t be like him). I was curious and went just to see what it was, no plan to actually fight it. TotK devs what have you done because that is just a straight up demon, like someone on the dev team was able to enter Hell itself, see some demons, and then put that in a video game. I reloaded a save because I knew I wouldn’t be able to outrun it.
-Another friend got some armor that looked a lot like Zant’s outfit, especially the headgear. Said he did it by doing chasm stuff.
-Mayor election sidequest is a thing? I think the fashion lady should leave and stop doing art.
Wait I have Fool!Haru so Justice!Morgana could be really good since they were so close in regular P5. Besties in one universe, enemies in another. Maybe this is an Ikutski type situation where he's actively misleading Haru to fulfill his own goals (might be on his own or even working for Yaldabaoth). Or maybe Morgana starts out as a genuine ally but betrays the gang when he sees a potential opportunity to become a human.
Brought up an idea for an Arcana Swap AU of Persona 3 here (led by Fool-ka Yamagishi) a while ago. Locked in Jupiter as the name for Chariot!Junpei and I'm heavily leaning towards Ken and Mitsuru swapping ages (still unsure how to handle Strength!Shinjiro, Hierophant!Koromaru, and October 4th in general though). But uh oops I have a full lineup for a P4 Arcana Swap and a mostly complete lineup for 5. So there might be a full on Arcana Swap-verse now.
P4 Swap: Fool!Kanji, Magician!Rise, Chariot!Yukiko, Priestess!Yu, Emperor!Chie, Lovers!Teddie, Star!Naoto, and Fortune!Yosuke. Decided these randomly like the P3 swap. Biggest difference is that Teddie's a human and Naoto's a shadow. No new names for either of them yet, or an animal to base mascot Naoto on (initially thought bugs because her normal Persona looks vaguely bug-like, but that feels like something hard to make look like a cute mascot).
P5 Swap: Fool!Haru, Magician!Yusuke, Chariot!Akira, Lovers!Ryuji, Emperor!Akechi, Hermit!Makoto, and Faith!Ann. There's also the undecided trio of Morgana/Futaba/Sumi with the remaining Arcana being Priestess/Empress/Justice. The existing lineup was mostly randomly decided like 3/4, the exception being Fool!Haru because I wanted that combo. I'm just not sure how to handle the remaining three because nothing seems right. I don't want to just be lazy and go "morgana gets justice and then futaba and sumi get the girly arcana" but also Justice!Morgana could potentially go hard? Like I still plan on him staying a cat regardless of what Arcana he ends up as, but Morgana going from the fool's closest friend in one universe to their greatest enemy in another could be interesting (maybe he's involved with Yaldabaoth or something). But Futaba or Sumi as Justice could also be fun. I'm also not super attached to Magician!Yusuke or Emperor!Akechi so maybe they'll end up in the undecided gang and add those Arcana to the pool again.
I can't believe I forgot about Rainbow Magic, I was OBSESSED with those books in like 3rd/4th grade because my friend was a big fan of them.
reblog for bigger sample size!!
WE GOT A TRAILER FOR THE XENOBLADE 3 DLC IT IS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK I AM SO EXCITED
I should probably be active here then. Name’s Brim, I’ll talk about my dumb video game opinions and my OCs for stuff like Pokémon. If you’re here from the Twitter link and know me, let me know.
I like stupid Nintendo games and other JRPGs. Call me Brim.
