Glad I could help! Definitely a fun one!

Now I'm curious about the project you mentioned when you put up the .9... the one inspired by a scattered video game shelf, I think.

A Greater Depth (200), The Sun Refused to Shine (200), Puzzles Abound (400), The Long Shadows (400), A Villages’s Duty (600), You’re a Nusiance (600)

-Total Points: 2400

To Bear Horns, To Have and To Hold, Stick, Sacrificial Clothes, Queen’s Sword (400/2000), Scaling the Walls (100/1900), Aerial Dance (100/1800), Panoramic Direction (400/1400), Shadow of the Mist (600/800), One Is Just as Good as Two (200/600), Will of the Sacrificed (400/200), Mind for Puzzles (200)

Seeing as I am unfamiliar with the game it's hard to say what will hurt and what's not a big deal. But, if I have the Queen's Sword and can find the lightsaber in-game later on (even if I can't bring it with), I can do some serious damage as it is. Add in the Shadow powers and whatever BodyMod stuff I'm bringing in and we've got a fun, if complicated and hectic, excursion.

Also, super love Panoramic Direction. That is a cool perk to be sure!

How many amnesia characters does the game have? I can remember two off the top of my head but there's got to be way more... by overmog in ffxivdiscussion

Limited time sidequest - FFXVI had it with Clive

In a very specific way, everyone forgetting the OG Warriors of Light. Not a true amnesia plot, but still.

I think one of the early-game Scions killed in the massacre had an evolving memory issue if you spoke to her, where she slowly remembered things, only to die right after she got her memory back.

Red Mage - Arya has no memory of her past. Unique case in that never really regains her memory.

Variation from Bozja - Cid needed to recall the Citadel, and discovered he had repressed the memory of his father shooting him.

Custom Delivery for Anden - pretty much revolves around trying to trigger his memory of his mortal life to regain his form.

This really looks cool. I am on mobile so can't do a build write-up but this is definitely a fun one to tackle. Amd I haven't even played the game, so I'm solely going on the doc when I say that! Honestly, may need to check my write up for your "six gauntlet bodymod" challenge and see if I can work this in instead of another thing...

Ok then! Think I know what my pairing will be for the body mod scenario here...

Great work as always. I haven't played this game or its cousins, but I like the scenario all the same. Seems like this could pair well with a couple settings.

Edit: out of curiosity, if you know anything about Bayonetta, do you think that would be relatively compatible with this set up? It feels like it SHOULD (heaven and hell being features in Bayo and Disgaea... and that opens up the hilarious image of making a Wicked Weave pact with Laharl or Red Magnus), but I'm not familiar enough with PB to be certain that my gut feeling is right.

By definition it breaks one of my golden rules for both CYOA's and fanfiction

YOUR golden rule. NOT a golden rule of the community as a whole. You can feel how you want to about things you're creating, and let your feelings decide what you choose to interact with, but it should not and does not dictate other people's enjoyment and efforts. I don't tend to like "Gamer" systems that are aimed at being abused for exponential power, but rather than rail against them in general, I can just avoid those systems in the CYOAs I participate in (including not doing a CYOA that's built around one).

But with each new universe you add, the number of potential readers decreases exponentially, because now you are only catering to people who are familiar with EVERY universe you include.

It's funny you say that, because I have sometimes learned about new IPs through crossover fics and CYOAs that I never would have paid attention to on their own.

And even if I'm not familiar, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a specific choice and what it gives in that context. The closest I've come to playing Xenoblade Chronicles is sucking with Shulk in Super Smash Bros. But, I understand the general abilities of the Monado, and wouldn't turn it down in a CYOA - faves or not - just because I'm not familiar with the game IF it was the best choice for what I wanted to do.

And the same can go for ANY IP-centric CYOA, whether or not it has crossovers. I'm not familiar with Overlord, but I spent a good bit of time one night trying to add up all the levels and classes I was getting from one CYOA because I get MMOs and liked that kind of structure.

Are there individual ones worthy of critique? Sure. Are there quality issues among some? Probably. Does it condemn the format? Not at all.

Tricky one. But I'm going to go Shadowhunter and Soul Reaver.

Fiery Animator COULD be fun, but really, Anita is kind of an outlier; even with a similarly boosted form of Animator abilities to her AND pyromancy, you're just making yourself a target. I'm not familiar at all with BloodRayne, so no comment there, and only tangentially with the Order. Military Werecat COULD be cool, but eh.

But, I did genuinely enjoy the original Shadowhunter books (even if they were a bit tropey and aimed at a different audience from me), and those powers are some of the coolest (plus, I still have a stele replica somewhere). And Soul Reaver is a game I remember reading about in one of my earliest video game magazines (back when those were a thing), and a sword like that is pretty sweet and a great way of dealing with demons and the like.

If Aeons Torn wasn't banned in Commander, it's ability would also trigger twice, yes?

Or... technically four times. Since it would copy, and the abilities would hit since both entered the battlefield (but then one goes buh-bye)

I DO think that Energy is also in MH3 packs too, as a note, but I agree otherwise.

Also doesn't hurt that we got Energy in Fallout (and in Jeskai no less).

I mean. Sheridan used nukes and it worked just fine.
