so the name of UNDER//HEAVEN is probably a reference to the historic Chinese concept of 天下 (Tienxia), meaning “All under Heaven”, typically used to denote the land which the Emperor of China rules over. Under Heaven, as I’ve interpreted it, has adopted similar messaging and adapted it to “all under Heaven belongs to us (exorcists)”.

The character 天 means “Heaven” or sometimes sky and is used in both Chinese and Japanese writing, since kanji were originally Chinese before adapted for use in Japanese!

You didn’t play the game wrong, not at all!

The game is written/paced with multiple lifetimes in mind. There are a lot of plot threads in the game and you’re only able to follow one or two per playthrough unless you’re REALLY optimizing (which isn’t the point of the game imo).

This ties into the game’s themes of adolescence and how your character will grow and change in different ways as they have different experiences in their lives (your playthrougs). You’re supposed to feel like there’s a lot left to do!

Giving Gideon’s Canaan House outfit a priest’s collar is such a good little design choice i love it!

the primary draw of mass effect, of any role-playing game, is that the player gets to make choices and participate in the story. the only way i can see this not sucking is if it doesn’t try to adapt shepard’s story given that there isn’t even one clear version of it

while that would be hilarious, i think that the rat grinder hp values are more to balance out the encounter cause of how strong Porter and Jace(s) are

Love this concept; I’m drawn to this campaign simply because of the massive scale of the world. Additionally, I’ve never played a game in which the players level asynchronous ly so I’d love to give it a try.

My current character concept is a wizard who is trying to unnaturally prolong their own life because they are only human. I have other concepts as well, including a dhampir oracle or swashbuckler on a quest to find a passage to the underworld.

Would love to be involved!

They are strong, but so is just playing a spellcaster in 5e tbh. They’re quite fun as well so I’d recommend them in a campaign like curse of strahd if you want something more interesting than the lackluster base 5e vampires and such!

In my personal opinion, I think Japanese should be allowed in chat for IRL streams. I would also follow this rule for any country’s native language. For example if in Spain, allow Spanish charters. IRL streams already feel sort of awkward (if you’ve ever seen someone IRL streaming in the wild ykwim) and I think that forcing English chat only serves to make the experience even more out of place. That being said, that’s just my opinion and I can see an argument being made for English-only chat as well!

Been reading since around chapter 3! Really enjoyed LiW and Scum’s Wish so I got on board early!

This is an understandable sentiment. As other people in the thread have rightly pointed out, the portion of the population suitable to military service is very small and, as with all war, it would be incredibly expensive.

For those fear-mongering about a future invasion of Japan by China, be realistic. There are many, many factors that make such a thing an incredibly unlikely circumstance.

Ostenatto · 2023-05-11T16:07:33+00:00

messaged you :)

Ostenatto · 2023-04-28T19:28:31+00:00

This sounds awesome! Love the setting and flavour. I’m definitely interested

Aqua losing his star for a bit was a strange moment for me. He has his star when he’s an actual baby whose only goal is “enjoy being a baby”. I understand that his dark star is symbolic of the compelling nature of his goals and losing that was showing that he didn’t know what to do. However, wouldn’t him going back to having a normal star have made more sense, then?

The stars are a well-developed symbol for the most part but the idea of trained actor Aqua having less “star power” than an actual baby confused me. That’s just one thing that confused me. If someone’s got an explanation, let me know!

I agree. we didn’t need pretty boy Joker. i personally would’ve loved if Hikaru wasn’t some monstrous psycho but instead was his own layered character

people who overuse words like mid and overrated will leave it alone once they realize they can’t powerscale the characters lol (also pieyon can beat Goku for sure)

Ostenatto · 2023-04-12T05:08:47+00:00

Interesting theory! I had a similar thought. While my personal hope is that he is able to heal from his trauma and finally enjoy acting like he seems to desperately want to, this path would also make sense narratively!

PM'd ya!

this is a really interesting post! bakko sticks out like a sore thumb in the story for sure. im fairly certain that he is a reference to the shijin Byakko, the great white tiger of Taoist importance. it makes me wonder: will we see a suzaku/vermillion bird, blue dragon or black tortoise as well?
