The Game World is an Abstract

Various dungeons, trials, and instances, take place in regions of zones we cannot otherwise reach. We can see other parts of the world, continuations of those zones, that go off the walkable/flyable map. We only really get parts of the capital cities, more districts and buildings often visible but inaccessible. New areas get introduced all the time, such as Paglth'an in Thanalan--much of which we can't get to, only see as we fly over its golden fields.

But even in the places we can travel physically, those areas are...compressed. Made viable to move for game play purposes. It would be impossible to show the true scale of most regions, most towns, even many buildings; not only would that be a ton of dev time and resources the game cannot budget for, but it would make getting place to place extremely tedious for players.

(They tried to a degree in 1.x, but it was also a lot of "identical tiles duplicated and turned" to give the impression of massive world areas--which also made it hell to navigate in more ways than one)

A good example is the Steps of Faith, the bridges spanning the roiling abyss between mountains and foothills, Ishgard's link from its peak to the rest of Coerthas.

Now that we can fly on Coerthas, overworld, the Steps of Faith look like this:

A very narrow bridge. Not terribly impressive--nor very practical, as it would be impossible to get multiple supply and trade carts in and out (their strict isolation was only really during the most recent Archbishop's nonsense in the last 20-odd years, hence the other city-states trying to get them back into the Alliance), nor march an army across. This is meant to connect an entire city to the world.

In the ARR Steps of Faith instance--reworked as a solo duty where the WoL fights alongside the Scions and various adventurers as well as Ishgardians--the bridges are massive, capable of fielding combat units as well as the giant siege dragon Vishap.

And of course, the great battle on the Final Steps of Faith in Heavensward's patches, where two great wyrms of the First Brood are on the bridges, as well as various other dragons, Ishgard's defenders, and our own final battle against Nidhogg.

In both versions of the Steps of Faith story instances, there are statues, towers, and defenses that simply aren't visible in the overworld versions.

So! Remember: the setting is MUCH larger and far more detailed than can be seen in the maps we have access to as players. The game world is a compressed abstract, travel times reduced for story as well as practical play reasons, and you have plenty of room in your writing and roleplay to expand on and add details to it as needed!

Hi, anon here!!

I just wanna say I read the game till ch.8 and I LOVED IT!!! It is amazing in a way I can't describe and I can't wait to play the dull game once it's established and released!!!

I just had to ask if in the future it will be possible for you to create a map of all the regions included in the game? Not for any specific reasons, I'm just interested.

And also if you'll be going to more details about the general info of the CoE world?

We love u!!!✨️💖✨️

Aww thank you so much! 🌸I'm so pleased to know that you enjoyed the update and I'm so thankful for your support.

I'm going to be honest with you, I tried making a map using those free fantasy map generators and then my head started to hurt and I restarted it a few times not knowing what the world is supposed to look like. It's funny because I did mapwork during my high school days way back when I was still in school and it didn't seem that hard 😅 Alas, I'm not very visual when it comes to creating maps or a visual person in general. It makes my head hurt. Just know that Ishari, Vinia and Cyre are connected to one land mass and then all around it are smaller islands and beyond that are separate continents with other unmentioned kingdoms.

There are a lot of world details I'd love to share but I don't know what people are interested in so if you have any specific questions on things, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to answer 😊

I love you too for your kindness and support!

In a mysterious realm beyond life, the Library of Eternity stood as a nexus of memories, where souls ventured upon death. There, they would encounter the enigmatic LibraFox, a lovable yet initially distant and challenging figure.

As you journeyed through the afterlife, you found yourself in the presence of the Fox, its eyes holding ancient wisdom and playful curiosity. It introduced itself as the guardian of memories, and to earn your place in the great unknown, you must search your recollections for the ten best moments of your life to be preserved as a template.

At first, the LibraFox's riddles and tests seemed daunting, each memory hidden within a labyrinth of dreams and illusions. But as you persisted, the Fox's demeanor softened, revealing a loving and caring side, guiding you through the eerie yet fascinating process of memory excavation.

Together, you delved into your past, reliving cherished moments and confronting the forgotten. Each memory held a lesson, a glimpse into the essence of who you were, and the Fox encouraged you to choose wisely. For in the Library of Eternity, the memories chosen would shape your afterlife, becoming a reflection of your soul's journey.

As you progressed, the reasons behind the Fox's summoning from Kyoto remained shrouded in mystery. Yet, a sense of connection grew between you and this extraordinary being, leaving you with a comforting feeling that it was bound to a greater purpose.

Throughout the journey, the Library of Eternity unveiled its wonders, surreal landscapes formed by books, memories, and whispers of lost souls. The game-like narrative merged fun and eerie elements, making the experience both thrilling and thought-provoking.

In the end, you selected your ten best moments, the LibraFox's playful grin evident as it helped finalize your choices. A bond had formed between you, and as you bid farewell to the library and the Fox, a sense of gratitude and enlightenment enveloped you.

The interactive tale left you with lingering questions about the LibraFox's origins, but the answers seemed insignificant compared to the profound insights gained throughout the journey. You left the realm of memories, prepared to embark on your new afterlife, knowing that the ten preserved moments would forever define the essence of your soul in the great unknown.

the confetti for a not guilty verdict is actually the funniest fucking thing about ace attorney

it’s like they inherently know their system is fucked to the to the extent that they’ve got the celebration confetti at the ready when they don’t wrongfully incarcerate someone

edgeworth never lost a trial until he faced phoenix wright so the confetti goes off and he’s probably like what the fuck ppfthh pffth phhh that last bit is him spitting the confetti out of his mouth

#ace attorney #glitter conspiracy solved the world’s largest buyer of glitter is the japanafornia legal system #since this post is now getting notes I will specify I am aware that it’s gumshoe throwing the confetti according to the official comic #I just think it’s much funnier that the actual game implies it’s a feature of the court room #and explain how apollo gets confetti then #I gotta commit to the bit

Love O2O | S01E02

Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes

Since Advance Bravely is completed, time to start the next project on the list. Debated if I would only do the episodes with Mr. Beauty and KO, but then thought Hao Mei is his own character. K.O won’t appear until episode 6.

~~ Adapted from the web novel "A Slight Smile is Very Charming" (微微一笑很倾城) by Gu Man (顾漫)

EP:- 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10 : 11 : 12 : 13 : 14 : 15 : 16 : 17 : 18 : 19 : 20 : 21 : 22 : 23 : 24 : 25 : 26 : 27 : 28 : 29 : 30

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

#it’s just???#at the end of the day all these people want to do is draw and write their stories and share them with the world #why is death from stress the end game for so many of them #this should not be part of the package when finally deciding that this is what you want to do with your life #rambling #I still never got over miura’s passing man #and Togashi is still here but he’s been suffering from the consequences of overwork #it’s just… all so bleak #fans just need to learn to be patient if these changes are ever made and to be respectful #your fav series is not gonna die just because you can’t get it right now #I’m glad that gege does this now like he takes a break every 2-3 chapters and that’s good #this should be normalized
