[OOC] All In (Video Game Multiverse)

[Lady Seraphina]

@ProPro@Happy Go Lucky@Scarifar
Hey guys, I just started playing Final Fantasy VI again and I realize that in that game they don't actually have horses which causes a slight problem when Terra suggests going to the other end of the ranch to get the horses.

I'm going to edit that post slightly, it shouldn't make that much of a difference overall but I thought I should let you know.

No shotgun.

The Gourd Lake map was chosen essentially because it is empty as fuck.

@Prince of Seraphs

Ok Ill change it then.

[Royzooka]

@Prince of Seraphs Are the groups set are would they be shuffled when the environment changes around them? I have been wondering for a while now.

@Royzooka

This is meant to be more or less open world so there is no requirement for you to stay with your starting group. As for the changing environments the answer to that would be yes and no, it really depends entirely on if you decide to go world surfing before the other group reaches Castle Town.

Though don't worry Gourd Lake has some plot points aimed at it as well.

[Lady Seraphina]

Within the next day or so the main villain will be revealed.

[Kafka Komedy]

Well in that case i oughta get a post out tomorrow.

[Lady Seraphina]

@Kafka Komedy it's coming to Gourd Lake, Hyrule has its own plot owl making an appearance.

So give me time to get up a Terra post before Giage pushes things forward.

Whats the source of magic in Fire Emblem and Bravely Default respectively.

@Prince of Seraphs

In Fire Emblem, I believe magic is derived from natural ability in an individual and then channeled outward through the use of tomes and staves.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Prince of Seraphs Magic in bravely default is a channeled purely through the user, Draining there "MP" which probably stands for some kind of stamina considering some non-magical attacks use it.

@Kafka Komedy

But it doesn't have an external source like in Guilty Gear or some of the Final Fantasy games such as a God of Magic or some form of other realm.

In Bravely Default for instance wasn't there a pillar of pure magical energy that Kaiser tapped into for time travel.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Prince of Seraphs Ah, I think you are referring to the Holy Pillar. That's not where magic comes from, that's simply a huge pillar of transdimensional energy (SP, as it's called in game). It normally allows travel between parallel universes, but said energies can also be harnessed to alter time. The heroes have a device that can store a little of said energy. They can use it to briefly stop time, but if there is enough SP, then the Compass of Space and Time can send users through time, either forwards or backwards. At least, that's how i understand it.

As for the crystals, they seem to power the world's magic, since, although everyone can use magic freely once they're destroyed, the oceans stagnate and the wind refuses to blow.

@Kafka Komedy

I've never played the game I'm just working off of what you've talking about IC. So in Bravely Default magical power previously stored in crystals used as a power source is then released essentially making the source the Bravely Default environment? Am I getting that right?

@Prince of Seraphs

No, there is no special source for magic in FE.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Prince of Seraphs If you're talking about SP, yes. The only place SP works is BD. But magic comes from the person themself, so the Kasier, and anyone he give his asterisk badge to, can use their magic whenever, as long as they have enough stamina.

[Lady Seraphina]

@Kafka Komedy What's the difference between SP and Magic? Also can anyone in the BD universe learn magic or is it specific to particular people, like a genetic trait?

[Kafka Komedy]

@Prince of Seraphs SP is energy that can alter time and space, made of hopes and dreams. It's only purpose is to alter time and space, but apparently it can also give people souls and be condensed into a beam to destroy things. Basically it's a plot device and it's never really explained what it's limits are.

Magic is simply a learned spell that produces an effect. Anyone can learn magic, all you need to do is memorize a scroll containing the incantation, or, if you're particularly adept, create an incantation of your own. Unfortunately, magic's effectiveness seems to be based on your natural intelligence.

At least, that's how I remember it. BD is a very character focused game, and it's never really explained how a lot of this stuff happens.

[Lugubrious]

I do believe we're all waiting for you at this point, @Prince Of Seraphs. At least, I think you've given us reason to believe you've got something cooking.

[Lady Seraphina]

My sincere apologies for the long delay. Life's been getting busy recently.

[Lady Seraphina]

Because of this, even if Henry could have heard or witnessed the arrival and ominous discussion of the five Big Sisters atop their raft of ice in the lake, he did not.

@Lugubrious

I should note that the Big Sisters teleported to shore before they began talking. Not a huge thing, just so everyone knows they on shore now maybe fifty meters from the shack except for Five who is in front of the shack watching it burn.
