I Was going through my procreate organizing and…I got an idea!!! Take my collection of shitposts, doodles, n other things that dont really hold up on their own!!!

Definitely gonna do this again, but forgive me if ive posted some of these on my old blogs- i tried to only save all the new stuff/things I never posted but i might have forgotten some stuff

one difference between the japanese and english versions of octopath 2 that i find interesting is that most NPCs in the japanese version have a "title" attached to their name... this ranges from things like their job ("silver merchant papp" and "newspaper reporter ori") to things other characters call them ("star" dolcinaea and "great noble alrond")

the localization's decision to not mirror this entirely was probably at least partially because of space limitations... the title used for papp would be really long in english (silver merchant) while just being 3 letters in japanese (銀商人) but it is pretty interesting to see where they decided to leave the titles in. i think the english rightfully thought a lot of these titles were redundant and over-explainy in most cases which i think does suit english better

in hikari's story specifically though you see titles change a LOT... they're a lot more important in his story compared to others' because of the emphasis on military rank we see throughout his story so it makes sense that english replicates a lot of these;

chapter 1: king jigo and general mugen

chapter 3: king mugen, general rou and captain ritsu

chapter 4: lady rai mei

chapter 5: general ritsu

one thing to note is that the localization never gives benkei and ageha their respective titles, 重臣 (juushin, chief vassal) and 兵長 (heichou, lance corporal/captain/idk man finding equivalents of military titles is hard) i also want to mention that rai mei's title in ch.4 literally means lady as in "lord/lady of a castle" (城主 joushu) which i feel like is lost a little in english

i do like this emphasis on titles in hikari's story especially because it makes their absence feel a lot more meaningful... ritsu especially changes titles in almost every appearance, going from 剣士 (kenshi, warrior) in ch.1 to 兵隊長 (heitaichou, captain) in ch.3 to eventually 将軍 (shougun, general) but he's missing a title during his childhood flashback in ch.3 and during the brief scene we see of him and mikka in ch.5. i know the latter is... most likely to not spoil the fact that he's been made a general in the very next scene but i do really really like that this is a scene we see of him with mikka... it's like titles don't matter when he's with her. mikka is also i think the only major NPC in hikari's story who doesn't ever get a title? even tsuki has one (従者 juusha, attendant)

similarly, rai mei doesn't have a title in her first appearance during ch.1 and the flashback in ch.4 but has the title "lady" when she's in castle mei, and then loses the title again when she comes for hikari's aid in ch.5. i like that for rai mei, her title represents her burden and is only present when she's following mugen's orders... just as ritsu, who follows mugen for most of the story, is entirely bound by his titles. these are mostly mirrored in the localization as well! (the only exception being ritsu's "warrior" title in ch.1 being missing)

kazan also follows a similar progression where he is known as tactician (軍師 gunshi) for the entire story until he reveals his true name oboro, which has no title attached

hikari, as a protagonist, never has a title attached to his name so it's interesting to see how he fits into all this... we see 3 kings throughout the course of the story but hikari doesn't get the title of king attached to his name and of course the scene we see him as king is when he removes his crown to speak frankly to his people... i think it's nice

Veilguard has a sort of "mass effect 2 meets oceans 11" vibe to it that would be fun but it doesn't. quite land.

First, Mass effect 2 structure. To quote shepard, the setup to the game is because "i'm going to need an army. Or a really good team". Its shep vs the an entire planet, but the alliance can't help, the council WONT help, and the guy bankrolling you does espionage shit, not combat. You gather a team of the best of the best at whatever tf they do because there will be no one else in the final battle. This is ALL you've got. You are assigning people jobs bc they are the only people HERE. But when veilguard hits the last gambit, you. Aren't alone. You've got half a dozen factions all itching to go. They ARE an army. So why does rook have to assign their handful of teammates to hold the hands of these other leaders?? Ireline and Strife do this shit all the time, why do they need someone else watching over their shoulders? The wardens are a mini army like evka says, adding someone new now is just going to throw them off. And im leaving EVERYONE downstairs but you still need one of my measly 6 squadmates to take point?? Really?? Rook's gonna DIE isabela, they have to FIST FIGHT A SUN GOD BELA

Second, the Oceans' 11-ness. You put together a team based off specific jobs you need done to handle this problem. Great, cool. But then. No one gets to do them. "Aw shit two magical gods. We need the best mage-assassin ever". Except you don't actually ask lucanis for his expertise or let him make a plan to kill the gods in their lairs, you just. Give him the knife and throw him at the gods. We could have taped the dagger to Manfred and thrown him at them. Rook even kills elgar'nan themself, Lucanis didn't get to do anything!! "We need a fade expert" for what?? Its not like emmrich is figuring out how to put the gods back in their prison or rebuilding the veil or trying to find solas. There are FOUR blighted dragons running around and taash only gets to lead the fight on one of them!

These guys are a great, really bad ass team of very competent people but why'd we hire them as if they'd be leading missions for us on their expertise if we. Weren't gonna do that

the brainrot has gotten bad enough that im whipping out my trash papers and scissors to document mouthwash vibes in a physical form

for me context: back in 2021 i invested in some stickers and mini journals to make little aesthetic spreads for the entire original universe jojo series (im actually still doing these, im currently on part6). for mouthwashing i already got a mini binder back in december to untangle the timeline and take notes and such, so im using the leftover sheets of paper to make cards capturing each chapter and character in a similar manner :))
