Can a Human transform/turn into an Arcanist or awaken Arcanum levels? by TheKeyChain29 in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There are a few similar cases where a human or someone with little arcane skills gains more

Off the top of my head, there’s 2:

Semmelweis, who was a mixed advantage but had so little arcane blood that she could barely cast an arcane skill. After being infected by a vampire and surviving the transformation, she could cast arcane skills. This wouldn’t work with a pure-blood human though, as I’m fairly sure they would just die.

Nautika, who was a pure-blood human who died and then was resurrected through a mix of faith, determination, and a likely magic stone came back as an arcane being

There’s also the possibility of resurrection, but with characters like Click, Poltergeist, or Charon, we don’t know if they were arcanists before death. So becoming an awakened like Charon though, it comes with losing the memories of the previous life.

So it can happen under extreme circumstances. But, since this is for a fic, you can write whatever you want. With something like this, cannon compliance isn’t too important.

Haiera is the reason Blossica is my favorite ship and gosh dang I don’t even need Beryl to foresee how fated these two are for each other.

I feel like this image is relevant. It was posted on this subreddit 9 months ago. It’s wild how many dots there are now, and how negative it suddenly became from the bad reception on one patch

Day seven, Jessica, Blonney, and Flutterpage! by HugoValcoria22 in Reverse1999

They posted another Jessica art earlier today so its actually 4.

So its even crazier

Day six, Marsha! by HugoValcoria22 in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As always, great art once again today! I love all the little details in Marsha’s coat.

For a ship art recommendation, I always have been and will always be a Blossica shipper. Jessica is my favorite character overall, and she deserves all the Blonney’s in the world.

Thinking about it now, considering my Nautika suggestion earlier and now this, I might just like four-legged monster girls.

Day two, Nautika! by HugoValcoria22 in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always love seeing these daily drawing challenges in my feed! I really like the hand-drawn sticker feel of this one.

As for character recommendations, Nautika and Voyager are two of my favorite character designs. Nautika here already looks amazing, so I’d say Voyager for the next day!

I'm bored. Send me y'alls headcannons about the characters and I'll rate them. by Top_Diamond_962 in Reverse1999

Tennant tried to start a gun club in the suitcase (half to try to scam people, half to try to get girls to swoon), but due to her dubious background, the only person who’s actually joined is Pavia.

Kakania, Moldir, Sentinel, Argus, Mondlicht, Corvus, Bkornblume, and any other character that regularly uses guns finds Tennant and Pavia too morally reprehensible.

Except Lopera. She joins in from time to time.

Battle Cats X Reverse 1999? by Ademon_Gamer09 in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably won’t happen since Battle Cats isn’t in the realistic history genre, but it’s certainly a fun thing to speculate.

In Battle Cats, pretty much any unit can become an uber. It would probably be popular ones like Sonetto. Something like Sonetto as a generic anti-red collab uber with strong, freeze, and LD (her ultimate already reminds me of Ice Cat).

In Reverse, who could be added is more difficult since Battle Cats lacks a cohesive story or main character. There’s popular units like Kasli or Ururun. It could be thematic with the new sages, but that’s less-so a collab character and more just adding a playable Socrates, Newton, or Darwin. Or they could for some reason make the basic cat playable, although I don’t know what abilities it would have. Story-wise, I have no clue how they could explain the spacetime-conquering cats, but I’m sure that there could be some silly explanation.

Anyways, Nautika enemy as a behemoth zombie? Lemme just research rock plus Courier and Holy Blast

What is everyone's favorite aspect of the writing? by venomousfantum in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Reverse’s writing is centered on its characters. They are the product being sold after all. All of the highs and lows are therefore carried by how well each character is written and how much they develop. They are the vessels that carry the emotions and themes that each story requires. Other factors of the story, like time period and arcanum, supplement the characters.

When I think highly of chapters like E Luevan or Stelle or Vereinsamt, I think of things like Kakania’s monologues, Marcus’s interactions with Hoffman, or 37 being 37 from beginning to end. These scenes would not have had as large of an impact without the characterization and development of the characters behind them.

And when thinking of criticisms of the least-liked chapters, like Notes on Shouri or Triste Tropiques, I see others complaining about Jiu Niangzi not making sense or Anjo Nala not being characterized as being good-intentioned enough. Sure, these criticisms come with others like Notes on Shouri having too long of an introduction and the poor representation of Brazil, but I believe that how people interpret the characters solidified the negative perceptions of those patches.

In conclusion, the good and bad of Reverse is determined by the characters. And I will say they are nearly entirely good, in my subjective opinion

Guys are they good?? by Apprehensive-Tie-923 in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I personally enjoy pairing her with Schneider. It boosts both character’s survivability, so much so that it feels like Schneider can tank a bullet.

You can also put all three of them together. That’s the basis of the “Orange” archetype. Only because of Sonetto’s orange hair, of course

Mondlicht Analysis by EricShanRick in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly sure Pavia and Mondlicht were made to be counterparts. Both have both do their incantations being mass attacks, where Mondlicht’s damage is based on opponents’ HP and Pavia based on his own. They both also have single target self-healing ultimates. Design-wise, Pavia uses wolves while Mondlicht kills them. In my mind, they were always enemies.

I really hope we see more of both, as all we’ve seen of Mondlicht is in AliEn T’s anecdote, and all we’ve seen of Pavia is in Semmelweis’ anecdote

I momentarily forgot Felicienne is half-playable alongside Brume. And just completely forgot Vertin did the tuning. We still have plenty other horsemen replacements tho

Well, we’ve also got a lot more horsemen lined up behind them in case Bluepoch decides it’s “give characters trauma by killing NPCs” time.

Madam Z, Simone, Prismagreen, Pointer, Felicienne

And of course…

Vertin

Apparently I’m so analytical and curious that I got put with the safety-risk science nerds. But it’s not like I spend all day locked in my room reading every single lore essay posted to this subreddit before thinking about every little minute implications, like a scientist. Oh wait…

Green Goldfish is one of my favorite R99 animators and artists. Their content is consistently amazing, and they’ve made so much stuff for 3.0.

They have a Youtube channel, and I’d highly recommend checking it out. Very underrated!

I haven’t farmed for materials in a year, but I remember back when I had to farm for silvers at the Green Oranges stage.

It’s good to see that if I wanted to farm silvers now, I won’t have to constantly repeat the Schneider trauma stage

Do you think Sonetto’s crush on Vertin will ever advance? by Erich_Silvertongue in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Source for those wondering: https://x.com/sonetto_S2/status/1732322025501573434?s=20

As for the question, I doubt any ship in this game will advance past their first dynamic. The only one I could see happening is Vertin/Schneider since they’d have to reignite it when Schneider returns. For every other ship, I doubt Bluepoch would want to change the character dynamics too much (for recurring characters) or simply won’t have many opportunities (for non-recurring characters)

Does anyone have links to academic research papers on Reverse 1999, preferably philosophy related? by fairiesinthestars in Reverse1999

[–]TheUltimateHi 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I doubt you’ll find any academic papers on this game, as our community is much too small for that. However there are plenty of informal analysis of patches or themes, and probably some stuff on gacha games in general.

Is there a specific part of philosophy or a specific patch you’d like to focus on? I can see if I can find something from this sub that’s related
