FIRST PLACE AT fe_contest! YEAHHHHH!

Big thanks to everyone who voted for me, and congrats to the other entrants too. I didn't think King of Red Dunes would take first, but I'm definitely thankful it did. :D

This might go to prove my personal idea that the things that come easiest also turn out the best--I did some work on it in terms of editing and adding ( Read more... )

An anima mage skilled with fire can light a hearth, stoke a campfire, light a candle. Even people whose innate magical ability is not strong enough to use magic as a weapon of war can use a fire tome for simple purposes like lighting a dark room or warming the edge of a blade (with practice). After all, in Dozla and Garcia's A support, Dozla is ( Read more... )

( tl;dr about OTHER WORLDS ooooh )

AWW YEAH! Alright, boys and girls, hot on the heels of Meta #1 is Meta #2--and fashionably late to boot! By December I'll have it all done, BAM!

Today I was just musing on the idea of verisimilitude (or specifically, seeming authentic while not neccessarily being so) in writing--specifically in writing a medieval setting like FE, because that's what ( Read more... )

In lieu of any well-formed thoughts based on game canon, I'd like to pose a question (probably one that has been asked before, but here goes regardless!):

I don't know enough about ( Read more... )

I know I said I'd have something intelligent or witty to say this month re:meta/headcanon, but I don't. Right now I am just not in the frame of mind to do basically anything productive. Even now I'm not feeling well enough to express all my concerns as precisely as I'd probably like to.

But I am supremely frustrated with some things people in the ( Read more... )

Actually beat FE11 (on Normal) a couple of days ago, but with classes started (and shoveling all this gawdamn snow) I haven't been able to share my thoughts on it until now.

Overall, I liked it. None of the characters or settings really spoke to me enough really to write anything about them at the moment--but again, I don't feel comfortable writing ( Read more... )

In the middle of chapter 14 at the moment, in fact.  These are my first impressions of the game (yeah, yeah, I just got around to playing it now. I'm a late-adopter, what can I say? :P) So, yes, MASSIVE NOOBAGE AHEAD a durr

So, what do I think?

I think it's pretty good. Gameplay-wise, it reminds me of FE10 (large movement range, large maps, and ( Read more... )
