ngl i think teh coolest thing octopath has done is like. bridge the issue ff never could figure out of balancing a flexible job system with individual character identity. having everyone dual wield jobs with one being Set is such a good idea

got my next octopath edit, primrose! her story's one of the best (along with olberic) but that's not a particularly new opinion. i will say i think dancer as base job is v weak in ch1 and then stupid broken for the entire rest of the game. anyways new on left old on right!

teeeensy bit more fatesposting. i think my issue with leo's speed is less anything with HIM and more that you only get two maps with him before Ninja Hell Map. 15 speed is kind of okay for ch14. on ch17? makes him ninja food.

you know. some levels are so much less hard than you remember them.

fire emblem conquest ch:17 - Den of Betrayal is not one of those. setting up another reset counter, hoping to keep it in the single digits. wish i had divine pulse..

ngl this banner really does have one of the sickest bride alts and pirate alts they've designed. which is wierd, becuase neither of those is the actual theme of this banner, but hey good design is good design

fatesposting. anyways i think draconic hex might be the most busted skill corrin gets? like yeah dragon fang is fun but draconic hex is just. free enfeeble. and nohrrin gets a 1-2 range attack option regardless. crazy good skill, ESP with fates slow wearing off debuffs.

ophilia was not the only octopath sprite iw anted to remake! redid my old cyrus sprite! his focus is unparalleled and his messy hair/gold trim is...very difficult to draw. but very worth it! new on left old on right

...so. finally played octopth lately, and to celebrate, decided to redo my old sprites for it! ...starting with ophilia. it turns out that doing things like hair or outfit are way easier when you're willing to freehand. new on left old on right!

Struggling to continue my hard fates playthroughs so. Could I get y’all to pick some units I have to use. Im gonna use all the Gen 1 royals but aside from that I’d love suggestions for br/cq

is this a safe space. i hate machyua's heroes design. i undersatnd the IMPULSE to glam up thracia designs, plenty of htem could use it, but as a result she looks wayyyy too goddamn noble for a like scrappy freedom fighter. way too much gold trim!

genuinely embarrassed at how much procreate's brush cursor is helping me. like okay tracing the line over the sketch i had made is just tooooo hard but make circle stay in line is something flash games trained into me. ok.

on a side note, is there any way to change the color display?

1

Archie | comms closed once more @archestarchie.bsky.social · 18d

oh while i'm fatesposting. hot? take i guess. i like the color symbolism with countries. hoshido is red and nohr is purple but both of them are antag colors. compared to valla/azura and corrin, who...are blue. which is the protag color.
