TUMBLR WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

WHY DID YOU MAKE IT LOOK LIKE TWITTER

CAN THIS BE FIXED AND IF SO HOW

Bravely Default Community

The upcoming remaster of the first game is making me all nostalgic and had me wondering if there was a community for the series here. I couldn't find one, so I made one!

A community for the Bravely Default series!

Alright research time.

So I've noticed some trends from fire emblem fans and I need to know

Explanation under the cut

So I chose these franchises because I've noticed that a lot of FE blogs are at least a fan of one of these other franchises, so wanted to have a sample size of which franchise is the most popular with FE fans.

Also I am not including Pokemon cause it's the most popular franchise on earth.

Xenoblade brainrot's kicking in again. Part of me wants to think about places we don't get to visit in game like the left limbs of the Bionis. Or other titans in Alrest, heck even outside Alrest in the areas surrounding the other two towers. Other part of me wants to think about completely new things, like a post Xenoblade 3 world or another universe entirely (like how X seems to be it's own universe unless Definitive changes things). God should I just make a whole ass fan story full of OCs or something.

Thinking about Xenoblade as usual. Gonna put up a spoiler warning for 2 just in case.

We never see the left leg or arm of the Bionis in Xenoblade 1. The right leg has Colony 9 and Gaur Plain, and the right arm is Valak Mountain, but we just never see what's on the left limbs. I wanna see what's over there.

The Siren model kit of all things mentions that there's two other towers besides Rhadamanthus/the World Tree, Aeacus and Minos. It's possible that there's life around those two as well. Who knows what's out there.

The Nopon are Here

I found a Picrew where you can make a Nopon from Xenoblade! Here's the link.

Her name is Lillil and she is a silly billy.

Cursed with being a Pokemon fan so sometimes I think about what kind of Pokemon game I’d make if I had any skills in making fangames.

For the region itself, I’m torn between having a desert region, a cold region with snow almost everywhere, or going wild and having the region be a bunch of floating islands. I wouldn’t base it on a real place just so I can go nuts and also I’m dumb so floating islands are possible. I like the idea of a colder region since I’m from what’s supposed to be a colder area (used to have tons of snow each winter but there was barely any this year), but Sinnoh and even Galar are already cold regions. A desert region would be unique since while the hotter regions of Hoenn and Alola do have desert areas, those regions as a whole are more tropical.

Story wise, I don’t think I’d include an evil team, just don’t have any ideas for one. There might be some random crooks you fight but they’re not part of any bigger group. Maybe I’d have a solo villain like Volo or the AI Professor but I’m not sure. Story would just be about you and your pals going on a journey together. I’d like the main rival to be a Brendan/May type where there’s a bit of implied romance between them and the protagonist, but there’s more stuff going on with them. Unsure of what to do with the second rival other than they exist and that there aren’t any more.

Making fakemon isn’t my specialty, but for the amount of new Pokemon I’d say at least 100? I get why newer gens don’t introduce as many new Pokemon as older ones but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Two ideas for the Grass starter, one would be a Grass/Rock hedgehog with quills made of rocks/maybe crystals, the other would be some kind of crocodile/alligator because I like Totodile and Fuecoco and think the trio should be completed. Fire starter could be a Fire/Steel sheep because of the golden fleece/steel wool. Got nothing for the Water starter or any other Pokemon in general.

We're getting previews now for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (and I'll make a post about the stuff I saw later) but one thing that I already noticed:

You can change party members at any time, and we're getting more playable characters. The original version "only" had 19, and this menu shows 22.

Okay so I beat the story of Indigo Disk last night and I'm still processing all that. There will be some discussion of leaks along with story spoilers here.

Before getting into story stuff, I completed the Paldea and Kitakami dexs just before Indigo Disk released and the shiny charm is great. Found two shinies in the Terrarium already, Peaches the Slakoth and MArty the Axew.

Really liked the first part of the story, where you fight the BB Elite Four and learn more about what's been going on with Kieran since the end of Teal Mask. Fights were pretty tough, my team was level 100 but they aren't built for competitive battles seen here.

Did not expect Lacey to be related to Clay of all people, apparently it's confirmed that Drayton is related to Drayden but I must've missed that dialogue. No signs of Crispin or Amarys being related to old Unova characters, Crispin seems like he'd be related to Chili but there's nothing for Amarys.

I was waiting for that weird peach thing from that one Teal Mask cutscene to show up but it just never did? Apparently it's a mythical and we just don't have the event yet (seems like dataminers/hackers were able to trigger the event and have this little peach loser show up in game).

Second part of the story has the gang head down into a new part of Area Zero below the lab. Kieran using a Master Ball to catch Terapagos that broke when he Terastillized it was cool, and it was nice seeing Kieran go back to his old self. Terapagos itself isn't that interesting though. Somehow Briar didn't end up being evil, same goes for Geeta. Saw Geeta show up to discuss the Area Zero trip and expected her and Briar to have some sort of evil plan together but it didn't happen, both of them are CLEARLY hiding stuff from us though.

After completing the story, you can talk to Briar and she'll give you a book she wrote about your trip to Area Zero. If you go to the Crystal Pool in Kitakami with that book, you trigger an event where you meet Sada/Turo. Not the AI, it's the original professor themselves. There's some time travel shenanigans going on, this version of the professor hasn't made the time machine or their AI copy yet. They do mention Arven though. You give them Briar's book and they give you their copy of the Scarlet/Violet book and the event ends. Paradox just happened, also if you talk to Arven with this book he just assumes you have the library's copy.

Anyway uh Kieran is the best Pokemon rival no contest.
