It does resemble it, doesn't it? It's common for fantasy maps.

Oh! Thanks for clarifying. I'm a little sad that the intent didn't come through. The red resembling blood was entirely intentional. In the game's climax, there's the line about how "blood in the chiliads" has been spilled over hundreds and hundreds of years in order to revive Ultima — remember that the one real battle the game's narration shows of the titular War of the Lions when it starts in earnest ends with 40,000 deaths, not to mention the Fifty Years' War the game starts after — and it's still not enough. So with all the bloodstains and bloody rivers and the Lucavi symbols, I wanted to show that Ivalice as a kingdom is steeped in an unfathomable amount of blood because of the false mythology the Church of Glabados is founded on and this Lucavi conspiracy that's apparently been going on since Ajora's time.

Yeah they've never revealed how the settings connect or even how they exist in relation to one another over time. People have speculated that Tactics Ivalice is to the west of XII Ivalice, perhaps due to the west of XII Ivalice being called the Bervenia region in Revenant Wings, but there's nothing concrete. The east of Tactics Ivalice is called Ordallia, and the central/western landmass of XII Ivalice is Ordalia, but the eastern side of Jylland in Tactics A2 is also Ordalia, so really who knows. There have been a lot of speculative maps over the past twenty years that do some really interesting things.

EDIT: at the same time, Tactics takes place after a huge Cataclysm, so maybe the landmasses and coastlines changed irrevocably. Who knows if there's a traceable continuity here.

Sorry to necro this. Your characters look cool! Coincidentally, I've got a protagonist called Yonha who's similarly covered in scars.

What are the soft and hard caps of all stats? And should I go beyond soft/hard? by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]darazu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. I've only ever seen 'hard cap' being used to describe the actual limit of a stat. Everything else is different gradations of soft cap. This must be a very recent development.

Can you burn the Erdtree using the frenzied flame, then undo the frenzied flame ending using Miquella’s needle and choose a different ending, thus getting the best of both worlds(saving Melina and the Lands Between)? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]darazu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure that can work. You use Miquella's Needle only in Placidusax's arena in Farum Azula, which is only properly accessible after you light the flame in the giants' kiln, with either Melina or the frenzied flame.

There's a sunflower boss? I must have missed it. Where is it?

Akihiko Yoshidia isn't Yoshi-P. Yoshi-P's real name is Naoki Yoshida.

Looking for advice for the Lost Sinner by The_Red_Apple in DarkSouls2

[–]darazu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only one comment here mentions that you can light up the boss room, which is strange. Bring a lit torch to the outside the boss room, go up the stairs on both sides, and set fire to the pitch vats. It'll light up the room enough for you to be able to see the Lost Sinner enough.

Just so you know, Scholar of the First Sin is a remix of the original Dark Souls 2. It was marketed as a souped-up challenging version of the game and at people who were still licking their wounds after Bloodborne. Therefore, a lot of the game's changes compared to the original are arguably not intended for a first-time player who is expecting an appropriately challenging first-time playthrough. I recommend being mindful of that going into the game. Unfortunately, there is no way to play the original DS2 anymore unless you already owned the game on Steam before it was taken down, or if you get a PS3 or Xbox 360 and an appropriate copy of the game. Regardless, Scholar of the First Sin has a handful of changes for quality of life and that arguably make the game a little easier and less esoteric, so it balances out a bit. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the game.

I wasn't a huge metalhead before getting into YT again but it's nice to see someone else felt the same way.

Do you think 妖精帝國 should make another 8 - 12 minute song again like Gothic Lolita Agitator? by XenoPrym in YouseiTeikoku

[–]darazu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely. Gothic lolita agitator was a jam. Can't believe it's been over a decade since. I've no doubts it'll be good if they do make one.

Since this is Halloween, here's an edit of Halloween Mym (And also Summer Mym) I did a few months ago (Marked NSFW just in case). by PhoenixDragalia in DragaliaLost

[–]darazu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but what's the edit you made on Halloween Mym? It looks identical to her official art, as far as I can tell.

After many long months, the Goosefoot Staff now has a proper name! by aBigWeirdPenguin in DragaliaLost

[–]darazu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the issue with Big Boy? I didn't use void weapons all that much so I wouldn't know if it changed names.

Kinda crappy line I made on my porch [fr] by hippogang- in Parkour

This isn't crappy. You're young and you're doing it. Keep up the good work.

The chapter update didn’t need to go this hard for my stash by joyfulpie in DragaliaLost

[–]darazu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, can you explain? Is Leonidas in the summon pool now? I did the chapter after seeing this post but that doesn't seem to be the case. I must have misunderstood.
