So okay I’m trying to submit this design to the Yetee because Wild Arms 1 is gonna be played at AGDQ and I’ve never seen anything Wild Arms-related on the site before so...

Never got to try this game even though I liked it’s aesthetic.

For the fandom ask meme, how about 001. Pyre, and/or 003. the Moon-Touched Girl?

Thanks for the prompts! Let’s see…

001: Pyre

Favorite character: This is a fairly close one among the top three, but I’d say Ti’zo followed by Jodi and the Moon-Touched Girl in some order. I tend to dislike little mascot animal characters, but Ti’zo is an exception. He looks like a bat and he has so much attitude. He can be cute or he can be a little cuss, but there are also moments where you feel the weight of how long he’s lived and the people he’s lost. At one point in the game, I was wondering if he might be one of the Scribes or even a god in disguise. (It was the way the Voice reacted when I first put him in a rite. I knew something was up with this imp.) I also love that you see him with so many close bonds with different members of the cast, from old friends like Oralech to newcomers like the Moon-Touched Girl. The combination of him being ancient and scrappy as well as very small and cuddly works for me.

Least favorite character: Keeping it to the main cast, I’m going to say Sir Gilman. I don’t hate him, but he doesn’t interest me as much and his style of play frustrated me.

5 Favorite Ships (canon or non-canon): I don’t have any real ships for this game. I thought Jodariel’s and Ignarius’ scenes were endearing and funny, but I wouldn’t say I’m committed to the ship. 

Character I Find Most Attractive: Celeste. My goodness, what a beautiful character design. Elegant but superhuman and powerful. I also think Tamitha and Oralech have really cool looks.

Character I would marry: I think I could do a lot worse than Hedwyn. He’s hardworking and decent, and he has a great smile.

Character I would be best friends with: I can only hope Ti’zo would want to be friends with me.

a random thought: I also love that big drive imp that sits by the door of the blackwagon. I may have beeped it every time I went in.

An unpopular opinion: I think it’s better than Bastion. For me, the larger cast and clearer narrative arc worked better. The interplay with the main villain is so uniquely handled. The visuals are punchier. I enjoyed the gameplay more. But this is so subjective, and absolutely not a hill I would die on.

My Canon OTP: Don’t have one.

My Non-canon OTP: *cough* You mean that specific headspace where I take that unofficial Jen Zee art of the Transistor characters in rites robes and start shipping Red and Boxer in a Pyre AU?

Most Badass Character: Jodariel. She’s strong, her emotions run deep, she learns from her mistakes, she unobtrusively takes care of people.

Most Epic Villain: I mean, I do really love the Voice. Not as in I would ever want to know the Voice, but as a character and plot device. Like they did with Rucks and the Boxer, the team did such a good job establishing a rapport with this unseen, barely-known character and the game’s protagonist, and then the actual player as well. You hear this hammily imperious voice and you want to know more. It helps that the Voice has a lot of variety in his reactions – pleasure, contempt, confusion, even a (very entitled) sense of hurt betrayal when you don’t dance to his tune.

Pairing I am not a fan of: I can’t think of one that bothers me especially, certainly not one that I’ve seen enough to be annoyed by.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I don’t think the game fails any of its characters. I would’ve liked to have seen more with/about Celeste, because her motives and attitude are very shadowy. I think she’s meant to be remote, ancient, mysterious, but she also comes across as having little context. So when her character does develop, there wasn’t a lot of payoff for me.

Favorite Friendship: Leaving out the ones involving the Reader, I’ll say Moon-touched girl and Ti’zo. I would’ve liked to see more with Hedwyn and Jodariel, given their backstory.

Character I Most Identify With: I’m going a bit in circles as I try to decide. I could say the Voice because I do love to lecture, but I’m going to think better of myself and tentatively say Jodi. I’m not strong and badass and I’m terrible at basketball. But, like her, I can be a little suspicious and withdrawn, but I do actually care about people, and once you’ve known me for like ten years I start to warm up and be emotionally present. And, like Jodi, I would like to spend my free time brushing the drive imps.

Character I Wish I Could Be: I would certainly like to be hardworking and brave and humble like Hedwyn.

003: The Moon-touched Girl

(Whom I will call Bae, because the game told me that couldn’t possibly be her name, so I said that it was.)

How I feel about this character: In some ways, I feel she’s a little precious. Wide-eyed and innocent and spiritual. Deeply isolated and traumatized, but not in any way that makes it difficult to be around her. She’s very idealized. But at the same time, I find her very endearing. Her dialogue highlights the unusual speech patterns they used for this game. Her design is delicate and otherworldly, but also sharp-edged and energetic, and she has those blazing red eyes. She’s been through so much, and I love seeing her making connections and finding her family with the other characters. Also, she was my absolute favorite character to play as and I never let her go. Which is fine, because even in the Downside, she’s learned to be happy.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: No one especially. That could maybe be in her future, but I don’t think she’s looking for it right now.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Ti’zo, though thinking about it, maybe Jodariel actually. That scene where she hugs Bae is such a vivid moment.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Possibly what I said above, about her being too good to be true.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: Nothing that comes to mind except maybe to have her history be dealt with more realistically. It might’ve been too much for the story to go into without sidetracking the plot.

Favorite friendship for this character: Possibly Jodariel’s edging out Ti’zo here. Though on the other hand, Bae and Ti’zo have more of an equalized relationship, without any parental overtones. So Ti’zo and Bae.

My crossover ship: This is a bit obscure, but I might be able to see her with someone like Rudy from the original Wild Arms. Like Bae, he’s been forced to spend a lot of his life on the outskirts, and he’s also spent most of his years wandering. Bae comes across as very assured and secure in herself, so I wouldn’t assume she’d gravitate towards an older mentorlike figure. Rudy has a similar open-hearted youthfulness to Bae. Once she learned about the dark, dangerous issues surrounding him, I don’t think she’d be fazed. Rudy would be stunned by her nonjudgmental acceptance, and she’d have a steady, sure-footed partner who could roll with her eccentricities.
