Oh I might need to make this real, I can already imagine a Bana equivalent that sounds like Chris McLean Total Drama and it's incredible.
Thinking about the world for this Xenoblade idea. Initially I was thinking of an island world (either in a normal ocean or sky islands) but that could get too similar to Alrest. Then it hit me, cave world. People live underground in these giant cave systems. You can have funky glowing crystals and wildlife, lakes, lava caves, icy caves, weird magnetism stuff like Pokemon's Chargestone Cave, super dark areas, ruins, mines, there's plenty of variety for these caves. There's also the whole "why the fuck is everyone underground what's going on on the surface". Were they forced to go underground, and if so was it because of some natural disaster or the actions of other people? Is it dangerous on the surface? Do the cave dwellers even know the world above even exists? Lot that can be done here.
Haven't done much on the characters yet since I'd like to get the whole situation with the cave world and the surface first. Will probably have a starting trio like Shulk/Reyn/Fiora and Noah/Lanz/Eunie, trio of childhood friends. Mentor figure is also likely, might have a kid join the group, and of course there's got to be a Nopon in the group but I'm not sure what they'd do. 5-7 is the range for permanent party members in Xenoblade games so I don't want to get too carried away.
Aside from humans and Nopon (they are everywhere), there's probably other new races but I don't have any ideas yet. Another thing is that while the numbered games lean towards British accents with some American and Australian accents thrown in and X has mostly American accents, I'd like to think that the cast of this game would have their own accent(s) to help signify that this is it's own universe. Not sure what accent they'd have, I am unfortunately a dumb American.
With the Xenoblade X Definitive Edition coming out soon, I've been revisiting The "Sketchy" Cross Battle Arts Requests (but with less sketchy) drawings. I'm doing some practice ones since it's been juuust a few years since I last looked at Xenoblade X armour but I'm excited to do these! (Oh how I've missed and cried over the armour and weapons, my lovely details!) I think they'd be both a fun raffle/limited selection event(s?) and a cool commission option too! Still figuring out the pricing cause it's a little different from what I'm offering now, so it'll be a separate option to pick from.
Luckily I still have my Wii U so if there's stuff that's specific to that version I can go back and reference it. (Or you know, if I'm not far enough into the DE for accessing arts and gear.) Raffle wise, could maybe hold one like at one month and then every few months after? That depends on workload and for how long I'm into XCX but so far I've been really enjoying it, so I'd love to offer it from time to time if I can!
1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)
I have considered it and it’s canon now. Defender daughter protecting her adoptive attacker parents who are way too careless in battle.
I want to make a Xenoblade 3 OC, but I don’t have anyone to talk to about them. The one Xenoblade fan I’m friends with hasn’t played 3 yet and I don’t want to spoil things for him. I love yelling into the void of Tumblr, but it gets lonely here.
Finally got a new computer after the old one died and this new one runs on Windows 11. I know there's a ton of AI garbage there but I can't find the options to turn it all off, guides just go "look for this section that isn't actually there".
I wanna make propaganda for @the-ultimate-oc-tournament but unfortunately I can’t remember which OCs I submitted since I was indecisive. I’m pretty sure I submitted two and there’s like 4 options as to who they could be but finals have destroyed my memory.
I like stupid Nintendo games and other JRPGs. Call me Brim.
