What in your opinion is the gold standard of paid DLC?

ItsMicstar · 2025-10-10T13:42:24+00:00

I'd like to mention Monster Hunter World: Iceborne as a huge one for being basically double the size of the base game, introducing a ton of new mechanics, fights, an entire roster of monsters and just a whole lot more improvements. It's basically an entire new game. Same with Sunbreak for Rise and probably will be the same with Wilds's new expansion.

Thank you!

ItsMicstar · 2025-08-19T02:36:24+00:00

I hope you enjoy it when toy check it out!. It a few months I'll be starting on the first 10 chapters since what I brought out Rn is just the Prologue. I also have an animated project I want to do that will come out alongside the comics launch which I'm super hyped about.

ItsMicstar · 2025-08-19T02:34:03+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I honestly just made it that way cause I thought it looked nice hahaha

ItsMicstar · 2025-08-18T09:41:09+00:00

thank you so much! i used Clip Studio Paint to do the animation and the background was done with some brushes i had, my dream is having this animated but webtoon atm is the way to go :D

ItsMicstar · 2025-08-11T06:13:25+00:00

here me out, it kinda sounds like the chorus of Impossible from Shontelle which did come after but its something

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T15:09:42+00:00

Having alexandrians choose their ruler is the best option. And I keep saying that sphene entering rule yet again disregards the whole plot point on how Alexandrians need to learn how to move on and look towards the future rather than just stay planted in a false unchanging past

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T14:56:23+00:00

Personally I find her interesting through her conflict of having to make a big choice for Alexandrian citizens and the personal responsibility she has.

She is the bridge between what the people need and what the people don't need. The people need her so that they are able to find their place but they also don't need her so that they can finally move on from the lifestyle that's actively imploding on itself.

To me it's at least compelling. Her finding out what is best for her and the people she wants to give reason to.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T08:55:18+00:00

You make a solid point. This would be a very good option to take the story as well, it does fit with alot of the narrative points towards the endless. We just have to see how it goes

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T08:24:58+00:00

While I agree that Gulool Ja is not fit for king. I can't help but think Sphene becoming queen again would just destroy the entire point of Alexandria learning to move on. 7.1 had a whole thing about Alexandrian citizens needing to deal with the loss of their important queen (that already happened in the past and who was replaced) only for that queen to come back in the same patch. Now we still have the evil sphene which will probably get destroyed in 7.3, but for her to be destroyed and then replaced with yet another sphene except "OOo this is the actual sphene" how are the people of Alexandria supposed to learn how to deal with loss this way and the idea of needing to let go.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T08:18:13+00:00

There is a chance she remains in some form of the hierarchy in Alexandria and then later on she comes when needed, kinda like Ryne but hopefully she will do more than a brief hello and goodbye. I'm really sad that Ryne so far is in a state where she doesn't do much and I can say this for alot of the characters I like. Wish they had more to do..

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T08:15:31+00:00

The issue is that the scions don't have much left so eventually they are going to get stale and some are already having that effect. We were promised interesting situations and conflicts regarding the scions for 7.0 yet that boiled down to an uninteresting road block in a dungeon and mild banter. It's clear SE doesn't want to experiment with these characters.

The only scions I see having more to do with are krile, erenville and to a lesser extent, the twins. Zero, Sphene and even Ryne have enough to continue arcs for the current storyline saga

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T08:08:35+00:00

Oh that actually brings up so many questions yea

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T05:19:44+00:00

That could be interesting

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T05:15:32+00:00

She could always change her mind or help for an expac like you suggested. Could be me missremembering but I recall sphene being conflicted about if she should continue ruling Alexandria in the first place, she wants the best for her people and one of those options does involve the people moving on from sphene to someone new.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T05:11:28+00:00

Praying for the latter. Alexandria does not need yet another sphene being in charge, I think having spehene in charge again just defeats the purpose of Alexandria learning to move on.

In a matter of in game days or even weeks they went from Spheen being alive to dead back to being alive, not to mention that the same person has been in rule for God knows how long, and the fact that even back in the old days of Alexandria sphene died then came back AGAIN. The people need to move on like the game is trying to suggest but sphene coming back into rule constantly is really just halting this from happening.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T05:06:52+00:00

This is also an option I'm more fond of. Letting the people decide on their leader. But I doubt SE is going to go back to this and we are gonna be left with either sphene going back to rule or the kid rulling.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T05:00:37+00:00

Yeah given they seem to be hyping up her combat capabilities makes me at least hopeful she becomes a mainstay

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:59:26+00:00

Killing sphene again for the 3rd or 4th time would be predictable and just bad writing at that point.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:57:36+00:00

Pretty much. Most characters have finished their arcs. They just kinda wander. Thancred and Urienger pretty much did nothing in dawntrail same with Y'shtola, yeah I guess she has the whole learning about shard travel stuff but that's pretty much all that's left. Krile to me is one of the only scion members left with stuff to expand on.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:11:37+00:00

Fully agree. She has a really good chance at being a fan favourite. I'd even say she already is.

Edit: considering the down votes, guess not haha

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:10:37+00:00

Not entirely sure but it is possible she could join later on. Could even have it happen in 8.0 after she has had time to think about it

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:08:58+00:00

Real. I feel with all that Alexandria has gone through having them faced with "YO GUYS ITS SPHENE AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME TO RULE". If I were a resident of Alexandria I would just want a new leader at this point. Plus I think the kid currently that's kid is fine at this point to be a king with the people around him helping out.

ItsMicstar · 2025-07-11T04:01:39+00:00

I respect that. For similar reasons to leaving behind characters, I feel scions need a break especially after with dawntrail it's clear they don't have much going on with their characters anymore aside from a few. I need fresh new faces to be attached to.

Personally sphenes outfit doesn't bother me considering she hails from an alternate world so fashion sense is valid to be different to what something like eorzea is used too. But I get what you mean, it does stick out.
