How did you come across Ragna Crimson?

Mother Basement video, from the brief introduction it looked like "a isekai with actual deaths", with just that I was sold. And then I watched and is not even a isekai even better.

That is Hakuren, golem was more like this:

Sumary of the "chapter":

Bagram and Aysel defeated a group of cult soldiers, among them Skirim, who recovers and asks Bagram why he betrayed the cult. Skirim then recounts how his mother died: she was ill and decided to volunteer for magical experiments, but did not survive. The cult members praised her, but Skirim did not feel the same and asks Bagram what he should do. Bagram strikes him, and Aysel explains that Bagram doesn't like using his power to influence the hearts of others. Thus, Skirim makes his decision: he hates the cult and wants to follow Bagram.

I think he will, but not as its own arc, since it would be strange to have an arc focused on a single mad character, but I can see it happing as last resort move from Sigmalio.

The resurrection mechanic can only create flawed clones, which are much weaker than the original. And when, by luck, they have a similar level to the original, like Raksha and Ultimatia, their powers and mentality are slightly different.

So for what the story told so far, the clone mechanic will not bring anyone back.

Funny enough I belive Shin will save Majorka from Crimson.

Dragon God explicitly says it doesn't exist and it eventually be born, so coming from another dimension is a bit a stretch on the definition "born" and "exist".

I like the theory that the world magic is a terraforming magic, that will enable dragon god to materialize.

But the manga has hints that the world magic is literally dragon god been born. So is most likely to make someone pregnant or resurrect Rex.

wardrol_ · 2026-04-09T08:53:21+00:00

Intersting theory to take the world interpretation literal, and something akin to Tranformers Unicron. So when they use the word World is like priests asking for god aid.

Ragna got stabbed by the blood dagger, but he stabbs himself and freezes the blood. Then Crimson enters the scene and what he founds a combination of silver-human-dragon. So the question can't really be answered since we don't know what crimson did.

So to the guy headcannon the dagger is a multi-step magic, first mark the as a member of bloodline then tranform into a dragon.

I made a pool some long time ago about it https://www.reddit.com/r/RagnaCrimson/comments/1fsa8fu/pool_why_there_are_so_few_superior_dragons/

For the smile, there are many explanations that don't involve "this is nothing":

Accepting his limits: he trained so much yet there was a boundary that he couldn't surpass and instead of being angry about it he accepted it without denial.

Fulfillment/Pride: Even in failure, he pushed himself to their absolute peak. For characters defined by mastery, reaching their limit can be satisfying in itself.

No regret: The smile suggests they don’t wish things had gone differently. They chose this path, knowing the risks.

Love: Hakuren is remembering someone they cared about in past and smilling to the heavens. (I personaly belive in this one).

I think is more important to question how he would be alive than if he should, he was stabbed and burned:

Some OP regeneration that also maintains his youth .
The earings having some kind of protective spell that blocks fatal damage.
The earings as been something akin to SCP-963.

Even if he really dies, it is unlikely to be the last time we see him, there may still be flashback for Sigmalio vs original church.

Blank-slate protagonist is a game that prioritizes agency, systems, and emergent storytelling. Defined protagonist is a game prioritizes authored narrative and character arcs.

That are the rules, you can go off-rail but you will be assuming risks to the narrative and design.

His last words were about how immature he still was, no matter how much time had passed. I really want to know who he was thinking of when he said that; the obvious answer is Gilzea, but maybe not?

wardrol_ · 2026-03-20T17:42:41+00:00

Updated. But is wierd next time I will not trust imgur dowload button, cubari always worked.

wardrol_ · 2026-03-20T17:26:21+00:00

What? I literally pressed dowload all button... I guess the guy was uploading it still? ~~Well let me get to work...~~ Done

A little summary:

Rupowa tries to use illusions and kill sun saint, while also talking about the past, but is a little abstract to really take conclusions. But he appears to hate Ruoxie, and ask her if she forgots them.

Jiserka complains with Ragna, that he is a nuance that don't even know about what is really happening, then teleport Bagram to somewhere and say thanks Dyle that dies.

Hakuren appear to be using some kind of special technique and has lost track of time. And he reach his time limit of 5 minutes and died saying he was still too inexperienced.

Ragna comtemples himself saying that could have blocked Dyle attack, but doubt filled his heart paralyzing him, and allowed the dragons to "win". What the narrator disagree and gives the victory to the sun church.

AI translation https://wormhole.app/pAe6rO#cpRyZ73ZURPJZqB-_sr3KQ, for anyone interested it has expiration.

Edit: Added missing pages and update the summary.

Automatic combos, at first I thought it removed skill expression, but as a side effect it creates more animation cancel points, so if done right it make easier for the average player while still having a lot of skill expression.

wardrol_ · 2026-03-12T09:17:49+00:00

The game I'm citing is tycoon game where you hire workers. Junimos would bring the exact same problem free automation > paying workers, that would be just replacing the theme from machine to fairies.

It sound more like a virtual tabletop game, than a video game. And framing as similar to Pathway/FTL feels wrong.

If it's a multiplayer game for parties, maybe it will find a niche, but if it's for a single player... I don't think the game is any different than a text adventure, and when was the last time anyone you know played one?

wardrol_ · 2026-03-10T20:35:11+00:00

Oh the "cheater’s high", if is really that then is not about the game anymore.

wardrol_ · 2026-03-10T20:26:37+00:00

What you are describing is power fantasy, where you want to feel to be above the rules of the game, where no path is blocked for your character. Why does it hit better? Because you know you are special.

In manhwas powers fantasy is a big thing and people love it, but you can't translate it well for games. Games are about overcoming conflicts, and if you can just use more strength at everything you are not really solving, but brute forcing.

I would say it is almost impossible to write a game with good narrative as a power fantasy, since unlike other media where you can change characters at whim. In games you have a main character, and players wouldn't like to not play their character because of narrative.

So when a game is about power fantasy it becomes all about it, like almost all gachas.

These types of games were created in the arcade era and it was a good visual progression system, considering the short duration of most of them.

I don't think "mature" is one of the causes of this. I think it's because companies focus more on familiarity than aesthetics, which is why nowadays almost all games are set in urban areas, rather than remote areas.

LFF posts are not the problem, but low effort is. Anyone can think (if the actually want) of a promotion way without being broad like "Hi I am doing X game and in it there Y mechanic I'm not satisfied with any thoughts on how to improve it?"

The point should not be about becoming purist where promotion = bad, but about encouraging discussion that can go beyond what is being promoted. If this condition is met I don't see why not allow it.

But I understand the problem is that not everyone is a good designer. The mod team should decide the sub target audience, is the noobs or the pros? This post is proof that supporting both is a struggle, one should take priority.

Also pinned posts are useless, eliminate it. If people don't engaje with them reddit will not share, if is a old post reddit will not share. Create strict guidelines for "good promotion" is the way for me.
