#I also play mmorpgs and rhythm games

[uwuza]

Do you play any video games by chance?

Ya, I play a lot of “comfy” games. I can’t do any shooter games though bc I suck ass at em’ lmao

[noxinara]

Obey Me! Brothers and what kind of games I think they'd play

this is a very biased list (and long post) based off of games that I've played before :) (jk its really not biased, just games I think they would play!) I made this because I couldn't sleep last night and had brain worms-- Will probably make one for the dateables sometime soon, but this list is just the brothers!

Lucifer

Traditional Board Games.

There have been MANY times where he's been playing various board games with you, Diavolo, and Simeon.

Gets VERY competitive over games like Sorry!, Monopoly, Trouble.... Candy Land???

Will only let Diavolo win.

Shows no mercy to anyone else, including you. Sorry, love.

Card Games.

Particularly amazing at Poker. He would not let Mammon know this... until you guys have an in-house Poker night and he literally takes all??? Has the best poker face you've ever seen.

Won't even let you guys beat him at Uno or Go Fish. Boooooooo.

Puzzle Games.

I could see Luci being very good at Tetris for some reason?

One time Levi challenged him to the game to try and get out of going to RAD one day...

Let's just say he had to go to RAD that day and also had to stay over on cleaning duty. Courtesy of getting absolutely DESTROYED.

Controversial Pick: Rhythm Games.

I could 100000% see Luci tearing up some OSU! But only when all of the brothers are asleep and he's completed most of his work.

They help him unwind.

...Was that rhythmic tapping you heard when walking by his office late one night..? Interesting.

You saw him wearing Levi's VR headset playing Beat Saber one day.

No, you will NOT bring it up and you will NOT let him know of that video you took.

Oh. You posted it on Fab Snap?

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Mammon

Gambling Games/Apps.

Where I live you can just gamble from home because it's legal to have and play gambling apps?

He would have SO many on his D.D.D. They're taking up so much of his storage space.

Plays them a lot when you're around because he thinks that you're his good luck charm.

He also goes on a lot of Horse Racing and Sports Betting sites...

It got so bad that Lucifer had to figure out how to IP block him from these. it doesn't stop him--

Gacha Games.

Has absolutely insane luck for some reason??? Only on gacha games, tho.

Has definitely played Genshin Impact and Honkai Starrail because of Levi.

He got those 5 star and Ultra Rare pulls he wanted in his first 1-10 pulls? But you? It took you over 100 pulls to get what you wanted. WTF?????

You swear he must be cheating the system somehow. There is NO WAY.

Racing Games.

Particularly the ones that you can have a full racing setup for.

He's splurged thousands of Grimm on this.

Gran Turismo? Forza? F1? iRacing? He has them all.

He is VERY picky about who he lets touch his decked out setup... He'll let you use it any time you want, though. :) You're his treasure, ofc

Controversial Pick: Old School MMOs

Definitely played Old School RuneScape or Black Desert Online or Classic WoW and created gold farming empires.

Doesn't even do end game content, he's just a guild leader making bank off the work of his members.

He probably hosts fun events though.

Would definitely be the kind of guy that makes up scavenger hunts/fashion shows/trivia nights/etc. and gives out sick prizes...

Might also rig these to make sure you or his officers win the best prizes. How sweet.

Leviathan

He is literally THE gamer.

There probably isn't a single genre of game he hasn't played.

His favorite games are definitely MMORPGs and Visual Novels/Dating Sims/Bishojos/Gal games.

Could see him as a raid lead in all of the biggest MMOs like WoW, FFXIV and GW2.

He also 100% visits the degenerate RP server places like Moon Guard's Goldshire and Balmung's Quicksand.

He's definitely not a BLUSHING MESS and rushing to close his game if you catch him in one of these places!!! He would never go there!!! Oh... you want to join him? DEFINITELY NOT.

He would get too jealous of anyone daring to look at you to even let you breath in the vicinity of these degen realms.

He's also done plenty of MMO Ironman challenges and was one of the first people to complete Classic Hardcore WoW entirely solo. Didn't even group for dungeons. What a MAN.

Bishojo/Gal games are his guilty pleasure, how could they not be?

He gets all the waifus with none of the jealousy, right???

What do you mean he picks the same one every time? He can't just cheat on them MC!!

Loves JRPGs and Soulslike games.

Has definitely beaten Elden Ring more times than he can count. Knows literally all of the ins, outs, and secrets and is eagerly anticipating the DLC.

Has probably played every single Final Fantasy game and beaten them all. Would very much have a soft spot for FF4, FF7, and FF9.

Could definitely see him playing MOBAs and 4x strategy/Grand strategy games.

He's not the Grand Admiral of Hell's Navy for nothin'. He knows strategy games like the back of his hand.

The only brother that ever rivals him in strategic knowledge is Satan. (and Lucifer, but we're talking about GAMES here.)

He spends countless hours on League of Legends.

He mains JG/Mid and gets very toxic.

Has favorite characters, but honestly just plays whatever is in meta.

Owns every skin for Ahri, Lux, Katarina, Evelynn, and Akali.

He's definitely in Challengers.

Would 100% make a Smurf account if you wanted to play and would duo bot with you.

He'd play ADC and do anything to protect you, his loving support.

Would not be toxic in your games (unless you are too).

Faker who???

Controversial pick: Casual Mobile Games

Played Flappy Bird all the time when it was popular, still has a cracked copy on his D.D.D... I don't think anyone is beating his high score.

He's got a ridiculous amount of hours on Candy Crush, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja.

Would throw his D.D.D into his fish tank and have Henry 2.0 guard it before he'd ever let you catch him on one of these 'normie' games...

But... he secretly likes them so much.

Satan

Hear me out, Satan would be a SUCKER for CYOA (Choose-your-own-adventure)/IF (Interactive Fiction) text games.

Would have Choice of Games, Hosted Games, and Heart's Choice hidden on his D.D.D.

He LOVES immersing himself in story games and creating various MCs.

Oh, look! An RO that reminds him of you? Don't mind him self-inserting.

Probably has character sheets made for his favorite MCs. 

Will play through his favorite stories many, many times.

It all started with Choice of the Deathless and now he owns every game on each platform? (I'm jealous)

Also goes on Dashing Don... What do you MEAN author hasn't finished this story yet? AAAA-

Detective/Mystery/Escape Rooms Games.

I don't think any explanation is needed here. It's just who he is.

Would definitely get all of his brothers (minus Lucifer) together to do a virtual escape room... Unfortunately, it became so chaotic they never finished it. Oh well.

Once played Phasmophobia with Levi, Beel, and Belphie. Was very proud of himself for figuring out the ghost... Definitely did not sacrifice his brothers for the info.

Life Sims.

Specifically ones that let you own or are centered around cats.

Has played every single Sims game and bought their cat and dogs expansions.

Definitely did NOT recreate you and himself with 6 cute cats!!!

He did NOT get the mod that extends household size so that you two could own 97 cats. He wouldn't do that, no way!!!

...Was there actually a baby in the household, too..? Why did it have his hair and your eyes...? SATAN?!?!

you know the Catz DS game? He owned every single version and will NOT let you touch them... Okay. Maybe he gave into letting you touch them, but ONLY when he's supervising!

Very much enjoys RTS Games.

He's scarily good at games like StarCraft Brood Wars/2, the Age of Empires franchise, or Rise of Nations.

He's also gotten into 4x games like Stellaris and Civ. Thanks, Levi.

Don't try and challenge him, he can beat the hardest bots and WIN... THE BOTS LITERALLY CHEAT.

HOW DOES HE DO IT? 

Controversial Pick: Fighting Games

Specifically games like Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, Tekken, BlazBlue, etc. Courtesy of Levi again. Thanks, Levi.

It helps him temper his wrath.

He'll sometimes play Mortal Kombat just for the finishers?? Why is he this way?

He could spend hours learning all the combos and tech of his favorite characters.

Has created himself some tech books and would only show them to you, esp. if you showed interest in learning the games with him!

I could see him and Levi settling disputes by doing best 3 out of 5 1v1s against each other.

Could see him maining Giovanna or Leo from GGST? Tends to prefer rushdown characters. (this one is completely biased, i named my cat after Giovanna from GG--)

Asmodeus

Dress-up/Fashion/Stylist Games.

SuitU, Love Nikki, Covet Fashion - you name it.

He has all of them on his D.D.D and will shell out major Grimm to get any outfit he likes.

Might try to make the outfits he gets in these games for himself and you, because you're the perfect model!

Has a lot of fun with it and might try and talk you into playing with him.

Will definitely post amazing outfits he makes in-game on Devilgram. Will also post countless photos and videos of you two modeling those outfits he brings to life.

...NSFW/Eroge Games.

Not gonna go into detail on these ones because you already know what I mean.

Enjoys playing those games that haunt the front pages of my Steam.

Would proudly play them in front of you to laugh at how ridiculous they are sometimes (as long as you're 18+)

Like Satan, I could see him enjoying Life Sims...

Unlike Satan, it's not because he wants animals.

Plays games like the Sims, Stardew Valley, and Sun Haven.

Self-inserts himself and will romance EVERYONE.

Has the mods where you can marry every single villager and the bed mod that makes your bed MASSIVE so all your husbands and wives can sleep with you.

Made a Sims save with just himself romping around town... No sim is safe from Asmo.

Also has a Sims save with you and him that he openly enjoys more. It has both of you enjoying that Sims Nightlife as celebrities and living in a MASSIVE mansion he custom decorated.

Will also play any Visual Novel/Dating Game that is recommended to him by Levi.

Bonus points if it never shows the MC so he can self-insert himself.

Controversial pick (in this case, not really): VR Games

Specifically things like VRChat or Chillout VR.

Would be extraordinarily popular and have custom avatars of HIMSELF made with so many toggles that it'll make your head spin.

He would always be hanging out in night club or bar worlds.

Occasionally Mammon joins him.

Sometimes he also invites you to join him~! (Would not like it if people started hanging all over you, tho, and would probably bring you to a hot home world with just you and him if that happened...)

Beelzebub

Sports games.

No doubts about this one.

Could definitely see him playing FIFA or Madden.

Levi thinks these are SUPER normie games and is offended to have them in the house.

Beel doesn't care.

Ooo, they made a game of Fangol?!?! He becomes an expert so fast, you have no idea. Would 100% teach you how to play with him.

Loves Cooking Games or Food-themed Games...

He just can't play them for long, however.

One time you got him to play Cooking Mama with you, Luke, Simeon, and Solomon but you had to stop because he got so hungry that he was trying to eat the television????

Would have to bring in MANY snacks and vow to make dishes from the games if you wanted to play these with him around... Which is a shame because he genuinely enjoys them. 

I could see him loving Multiplayer Party/Minigame Games like Mario Party or WarioWare.

You mean he gets to play silly mini games with all of his favorite people?

He doesn't care if he wins, he just loves having you guys around.

Almost always comes in last place when he's playing with you, Belphie, and Levi but that's okay. The faces you guys make when you get your stars are worth it.

Controversial pick (and I mean this one is VERY controversial): FPS games

Now, I know what you're thinking. Beel is a gentle giant and wouldn't play these types of games...

But! I could see him forming 5 stacks with you and his brothers in games like CS2 and Valorant and being scarily good because of his amazing hand-eye coordination and reaction times?

Like he and Levi could easily carry you guys to high Asc/Low Immortal lobbies.

He would just play fill when everyone's around, but his mains would be Kay-O and Breach.

He would always be the initiator in Counter-Strike, following Levi's IGL calls perfectly.

He would also probably love playing games like Squad or Modern Warfare or Battlefield with all of his brothers, you + the dateables.

Belphie

Our resident Horror Game lover.

They give him ideas on how to prank his brothers dreams.

Once made Mammon go through Outlast in his dreams (nightmares??).

You better run, little pig.

But he genuinely enjoys them... When he can stay awake through them.

Hey, you, why don't you just play for him?

Loved playing through games like Amnesia... Unfortunately for you, his love for puzzle psychological horror probably contributed to how he acted in Act 16 OM--

Loves Psychological Dramas and those Interactive Media Games.

You know. The ones where you're combing through footage or watching videos and making choices to find out the hidden/deeper/darker meanings?

He LOVES those.

Usually has you or his brothers playing for him. It's most likely Satan.

You all get equally invested.

Idle Games.

He can run these while he's asleep.

There's nothing more to be said. 

These are the simplest type of games there are....

He's probably got a cookie empire.

Has a soft spot for Kart Racing Games.

Will regularly be in the room when you, Levi, Beel or Mammon are playing.

He's honestly pretty good at them??

When he's not falling asleep behind the wheel that is.

Controversial pick: Auto Battlers

These are games like TFT, Hearthstone Battlegrounds, and DOTA's Auto Chess.

He naps in between rounds and wakes up in 20s increments to prepare for his turn... Why does he have the timing down to a tee???

You're sure you've even seen him pick perfectly in his sleep??? How does he do it?????

Regularly comes in the Top 4, usually first or second. 

What do you mean he's a Challenger TFT player??? Wtf how???

Will not coach you if you ask, but you're free to watch!

Will definitely cuddle with you the whole time he's playing these.

All Brothers, with a bonus YOU!

I could honestly see them ALL enjoying CRPGs as a group.

They always get the mods that let you increase your party size.

Went through Baldur's Gate 3 with you on your recommendation.

They all fought over who would get to play Astarion and Mammon won?!?!

Satan got Gale

Beel got Karlach

Levi was Laz'ael

Lucifer was Wyll

Belphie got Shadowheart

And Asmo made a Dark Urge Bard that looked exactly like himself????

He literally doesn't even make any Dark Urge decisions.

He doesn't want blood staining his clothes. 😔

You got to choose whatever you wanted though!

You took the Dark Urge from Asmo and he just played a normal, flirty bard with impeccable fashion sense.

This playthrough took MONTHS and MONTHS... but you all had a blast!

Literally.

You cannot count the number of times Satan 'accidentally' hit you with fire balls. (He claims he was aiming for Lucifer.)

Lucifer somehow ended up getting you all the luckiest ending? How did he roll 3 nat 20s?????

You're on to play Divinity: Original Sin II next...

Satan has already claimed Fane.

Bully Heacanons: Fave Videogames?!

SORRY ITS BEEN A WHILE YALL! I had my uni audition the other day, and a gig, ive been super busy!! I was doing some thinking, and as I thunked, I though about what videogames the characters would play if they could play ones from today; Gary? I feel like he'd play anything with intense combat, or anything combat focused. So, dark souls, elden ring, call of duty etc. He likes guns, he likes fighting. He'd play everything on hardcore difficulties, get mad when he keeps dying, and switch to easy so that he can feel super overpowered. He'd also love the sims, the little freak, and would make the other bullworth students and kill them in various ways. He'd like playing god, too, so any god sims. Gary would be the most toxic of console players, in the voice chats he'd be a god at destroying people. He has had so many accounts banned for harassment. Pete? I get the feeling he'd like racing games. Apparently he has the top score on the future racer arcade game. I think he'd also like rhythm games, guitar hero, maybe even osu. I think he'd be pretty versatile too, playing anything with a story from Hades to Skyrim to Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I can definitely see him as a PC gamer but also with handheld consoles like the switch. he's not really an online player, but wouldnt mind MMORPGs like world of warcraft. Jimmy would love games with destruction, and giant mechs and robots and big enemies, explosions and blood. Typical boy stuff. So I think he might like the armoured core games. I can also seeing him having a DS, and those really shitty games called like "Tanks Vs Giant Bugs" or "Giant Dinosaur Robot Killing Time" (speaking from experience here). I don't think he'd have had the money growing up for anything crazy, but he'd be lucky enough to stumble across and get a console, like a ps4 just before they brought out the ps5 (also speaking from experience here). I think he'd love the survival aspect of minecraft and might enjoy casually playing some battle royale games.

[junimo-hexed]

What video games do the Batfamily play? Part Tim Drake.

Alrighty. Let's start with the biggest gamer of the bunch.

To begin the games I will die on a hill to defend that he plays

Myst: it’s a classic puzzle game. Tim stands by it for being revolutionary for the time and helping to build the industry.

HOI4: Listen I cannot stress enough how much of a HOI4 fan Tim is. Obviously he falls into the bi socialist side of the venn diagram and avoids the other players at all costs, but damn does he love this game. It’s easily his most played game, he’s installed so many mods for it (yes included the mlp one), he typically goes socialist, but sometimes does anarchism, syndicalism, or communism just to change things up.

WoW: it's either this or League. Pick your poison. I don't know enough about either to say what he plays in them.

Other games

COD, listen y’all thought Jason would be the COD player. No it’s Tim.

TF2: I as a medic main cannot properly give an assessment of who Tim would play, but my picks are Spy, Demoknight, and Engineer.

That said he had also tried Overwatch, but he couldn't get into it as much.

Pathologic: again he's into niche games with a cult following and games that are known to be hard.

Inscryption

Pony Island

System Shock

Portal

Half-life

Quake

Doom

And much much more

Gamer preferences

Grand strategy, war games, mmorpgs, honestly any game that is widely known in gamer communities. He's not into cozy games and finds them boring and underestimating. Also not one for rhythm games, he doesn't have anything specific about them, just not for him.

PC gamer, Tim likes to mod and the freedom that being a PC gamer allows. He emulates anything not available and that he can’t find. He also owns just about every console and collects physical copies of games.

Tim uses Steam and has the highest level of everyone. He has the most games in his library by far and most of them he doesn't touch.

He's a completionist. He will 100% that game and he will get all of the achievements.

Final Dawntrail Thoughts (Spoiler Free)

This is a long one, don't be afraid to skip it. More of a diary/vent than anything.

FFXIV has always been a weird combination of genres--MMORPG, JRPG, and visual novel. The ratio has varied a lot over the years. This isn't scientific but I'd kind of represent its progression like this.

After 1.0 flopped (largely due to technical concerns, imo, the gameplay issues could have been fixed less drastically), they made a World of Warcraft clone with a JRPG's story. It was clunky, it had a lot of RPG mechanics, still a lot of MMORPG mechanics as well. Beginning with Shadowbringers, they continued dropping MMO mechanics like aggro and buffs and the utility of the trinity, but also started really abandoning RPG mechanics as a whole. Just equip the minimum item level so we can pretend there's progression, then do the dance correctly, you're good. There's nothing else. Honestly by 5.0 you could replace the JRPG label with Rhythm.

That's something that was pretty heavily criticized by long-time players, but the absolute strength of the visual novel components and, frankly, luck (WoW Exodus, popular streamers coming, covid) pushed XIV to levels of success it hadn't seen before. So they continued the trend in Endwalker, which, despite glaring plot holes still had a strong visual novel attached (ignoring the patch series).

What we're seeing in Dawntrail is half of a decade of intentional neglect shown to the MMO and RPG components of the game when the visual novel cannot stand on its own legs. No one had any hype or excitement left after the abysmal 6.x series to carry them forward. All that's left is a terrible movie I would have to force myself to watch on a plane, set dressing masquerading as an open world, and a litany of buttons that all do the same thing with very little player involvement necessary. It's a minigame within a poor visual novel that we pay a subscription for, and that's been laid bare for our eyes to see.

The first half was horrible, and no one disagrees. The second half is just as bad, if less straight boring. Without giving spoilers, they're really revisiting the well again. It's just Shadowbringers and Endwalker again without the baggage or lore.

I know I'm talking a lot about the story on this blog, but that is because almost no gameplay is required, rather, possible for almost any of the progression. There is simply nothing else to talk about. Putting the first and third trials aside, the most interesting addition to gameplay was actually adding straight visual novel aspects more often. It plays like a bargain bin Phoenix Wright investigation scene more than a few times. The rest is just filler for the story to take place around.

Okay, but Dawntrail has a jam-packed content slate for the next three years, right? Yeah, sure. In about a year, maybe 18 months, there will be something interesting to do besides the story and raiding.

What hurts the most is that the development team seem so bored of their own product that they're begging to be put on other projects. The development team is credited for taking and implementing feedback, but if you've been here long enough you know that's all smoke and mirrors. For how long have we been asking for Kaiten back, for example? For how long have we been asking to roll back the 2 minute meta? I saw a popular forum thread from back in ARR lamenting how boring moment-to-moment gameplay is for healers, and not only did they not change it up, they dug their fucking heels in and made it worse. They look at metrics to make choices, and when all else is equal, they take the path of least resistance.

I'll also say as a somewhat side-tangent that the metrics they use to read these things are so tone-deaf. Monk and Black Mage were two of the most lauded, well-designed jobs in the game. They were frequently held up as examples of how FFXIV can still potentially return to form, that they still have some creative juice left. Because they were some of the least played by the playerbase writ large, they were both lobotomized going into Dawntrail. As if a totally flat distribution of players on jobs is somehow not only desirable, but a virtue.

So, player queues have already dropped significantly one day after release. Do I think they're going to change course?

Frankly, no. They have their dickriders who want a Second Life playground to mod in. The narrative is already spinning, "Yeah it was bad, but it's okay that it was bad, it's the start of a new arc!", "It's a beach episode! What did you expect?????" These are both incorrect. Endwalker was a sequel primarily to Shadowbringers. Shadowbringers was also mostly a new arc. Heavensward was a new arc. Stormblood was a new arc. I didn't skip cutscenes on any of them. And speaking frankly, the dickriders have become such a huge part of the playerbase that they are simply more profitable and easier to please. Path of least resistance.

Given the current state of the industry, and how influential influencers have become for, uh, let's call them the simple-minded, I think for real change, the dickriding influencers would have to start dropping the game vocally. And that's not going to happen, it's their paycheck, it's a job. Who cares if it's kinda boring? Every job is kinda boring.

So where does that leave me? I'm not sure. I'm going to mess around a little bit with the new jobs basically just as an excuse to have contact with my old, old friends that I care about deeply. But this might be my final expansion, especially after getting into GW2. Once the illusion is broken, it's going to take something dramatic for me to see it again.

[kimbapisnotsushi]

who do you think is addicted to games on their phone? maybe which games?

ooooh this is a fun one!! let's get it!!

(also let's studiously ignore the fact that a lot of them would not have had smart phones you could play on in 2012 LMAAO)

kenma obviously and i think he's willing to try any game once - whether it's platformer, retro 8-bit style, romance visual novel, rhythm games, match 3, whatever. the fun is in the trying and seeing what the games hold, and who knows? he might find something he really likes!

he DOES have a few ultimate favorites tho he really likes pokemon go (which i maintain that EVERYONE has bc it's funny as hell that way) and mmmm i'd say some kind of rpg/mmorpg or story-driven game

(not including monster hunter bc we know he has that on a handheld already and i don't know if they have mobile games for that)

i think lev would be a big cookie run ovenbreak fan LMAAAO. it's a super easy gacha system and all the cookies have really fun designs and stories that never seem boring to him!! his favorite cookie is space doughnut cookie bc he thinks it's fucking hilarious that they have cookie aliens in the cookie universe

tendou really likes visual novels and will download every single one he finds, whether they're thirty minutes long or take days of playing through. he loooves a good story and cool art and being able to impact the plot, and isn't particularly picky about the genre - he just wants it to be fun!

osamu, fukunaga, and yukie are all avid players of food fantasy (which was developed by the same company who did love nikki dress-up) and if you've never heard of it i totally recommend it!! it's so much fun and has gorgeous characters/art and a fun story and fun events. i haven't played in a while bc updates can take up a lot of storage which i currently do not have (RIP) but it's the only game i consistently re-download other than candy crush and pokemon go LMAAAO

(yes it is about anthropomorphic foods. no i am not ashamed to admit i am in love with some of them. they are your friends and teammates and you can battle with them and it's SO MUCH FUN)

semi DOES play love nikki dress-up which tendou finds hilarious not because of toxic masculinity or whatever the fuck but because "eita HOW in the world do you get good scores you literally dress like a grandpa on our days off"

he also really likes the music!!

i think watari really likes farming/cozy village life sims and if it's the type where you can name the characters around you he names everyone after seijoh (and when he has even more characters than that he starts branching out to other teams LMAAAAO)

the mayor is oikawa obviously

the twins def have a game that they can challenge each other/co-op in so like maybe brawl stars or something??? aran has it too bc of fucking course they want to play with him and aran drags kita into it who drags oomimi who drags akagi and the twins get ginjima and suna to download it and so the whole of inarizaki basically has this one game they all play with each other and know a lil too well

bonus pics of some of my food fantasy crushes:

[shytastemakerthing]

I do like Twisted Wonderland Romantic Matchups please!

I'm a ISFP-T My height is 163! I don't like to go out if I'm alone but if I with my parent,friends even if there is only one friend I'm good to go. When I with my friends or person I trust I'll be very lively and joyful. Hang out with my friends is very fun and I enjoy those time so much but when I have to go with other people I kinda not enjoy it and it make me feel tired but I can't say no to them.

I like Jazz,Electro swing music and playing games like single game of JRPG,Rhythm,Otome I don't like to play MMORPG when I have to play alone so I'll only play MMORPG when my friends want to play. I also like the sound of piano! I can play a little bit!

I like sweet a LOT! anything that's sweet is very welcome for me!(not you dentist-) I don't like vagetables,sour and bitter tastes. It's kind of surprising because my least favorite food is raw oyster like you know who-

I'm not good at sports but I like to cheer on my friends. like told them to do their best or prepare a cold water for them. I got a very bad score at math- but I'm very good with languages lessons!

I have a very polite manners when it come to other people I don't know or don't feel safe with. I mean I can't just trust them so easily but I get tricked so easily- I'm not good with teasing or flirting(but I didn't say I don't like it-) If they do that to me my face would go hot, I'll keep avoid face face with them until I cool down but if they know I'm embarassed and keep teasing me- I would stare at those people saying ‘Nooo I hate youuu go awayyyy(?)’ but I not really mean I hate you! and I'm sure almost people would know because they'll laugh out loud at that time... What so fun please!

I'm a very caring at other too. I like to observe person I have to be with or be friend with so we can understand each other and get along. I like to cheer for my friends. I mean every single words I say I'm sure it's probably help someone who hearing this. I never know what they might hear or face with terrible things but I can help them have faith and be kind with themself even if it's a little I want to say kind things to them.

Anddd this is all of me! I guess? was it too long? I hope you will not get tired from reading this. I'm very excite for the result. Whoever this may come I hope we'll get along! Thank you very much!

A/N: Thank you so much for your request! Honestly, as soon as I started reading this, i very quickly found out who would be absolutely perfect for you! I may or may not be showing favoritism because he is also one of my favorite characters 😂😂

I match you with.....

Idia Shroud

• For freaking starters, look at this man's hair! It's PINK because of the slew of compliments that he is wearing because of that drop dead amazing suit! I see you as someone like that when someone flirts with you or teases you in an affectionate manner! I swear, if you both do this at each other, there will be fumbling words, pink cheeks, AND pink hair. Honestly, you're both just too freaking cute!

• Now, Idia is the resident shut in of Ignihyde and the entirety of NRC. The man never leaves if he can help it! It doesn't change a whole lot when you're in the picture as his anxiety and fear of people is extremely strong. But if you're lucky, you can talk him into going to a certain shop with you either early in the morning or late at night to avoid a whole lot of people. Just please, stay close to him and don't leave him behind, he'll cry.

• Ortho is now your little brother as well! Words can not express just how happy the little robot boy is as soon as you even start becoming friends with his brother. But now you're dating him? You've been upgraded to sibling status and you now have another person who will go with you anywhere you want to go. As well as a personal body guard if anyone is giving you a hard time. Idia gave him a self defense and protective mode for a reason! And it's being used to protect you!

• You love sweets and so does Idia. He has a whole flipping stash that the both of you can snack on within the safety and confines of his room. You put everything in a big ol' bowl and turn on the mayest anime series, or you watch him play his online matches, or even he watches you play your rhythm games! If you're stuck on a level, he will fully help you out!

• Idia is also someone who is not good at sports. Honestly, he isn't even really that active and will avoid the exercise any way that he can. But, we have a compromise! If he were to ever go out, and it's the both of you, you both walk to Sam's shop from Ignihyde or your dorm, stock up on sweets, and walk back. It's not full exercise but it's at least something.

• Okay, we all know that Idia is basically one of the smartest people in NRC and is a complete genius. With everything he has built and created, he certainly knows his way around Math and is willing to help you with it. He may not be the best when or comes to tutoring, but he is trying his best. Besides, he gets to spend as much time as possible sith you to help teach you this, he can't complain about that.

• He honestly loves that you're so polite! He has seen plenty of cruel people in this world but the fact thay you face it all with a smile, all polite, and doing your absolute best to be a good person? Yeah, his hair is pink once again. And if you show that same kindness to him? The man has bluescreened.

• Okay, at first, physical affection is something he's not at all used too and he was extremely jumpy for a very long time. He still is a little bit but not as bad. Now that we've progressed, you would never expect him to be as clingy as he is. The poor boy is touch starved. You'll be laying in his bed and playing thr latest otome game and he'd be curled up around you, watching you play while also adding in some nice commentary that never fails to make you laugh.

• There was one time you managed to talk him into going to a dorm leader meeting IN PERSON! When he walked in, everyone literally had to do a double take because they LITERALLY couldn't believe it! How you managed to get him to go? You got your hands on a limiter edition figurine that he been trying to get for ages and it was the last one! All he had to do was go to one dorm meeting in person, stay the time, and as soon as he returned, the figurine was his. A bit cruel, but it worked. Honestly, be loves you so much and js such a massive simp that he would do whatever it takes to make you happy.

• Overall, the relationship certainly had a LOT of bumps in the road to get to where the both of you are at. But your kindness has prevailed and honestly, Ortho js completely ecstatic about it! He is your Player 1 and he does what he needs in order to keep seeing that smile on your face!

a repost of my introduction entry on dreamwidth, but for tumblr this time!

my name is jay, but i also go by the nickname "nights" online! 👽 also my pronouns are he/him!

(huge wall of text behind the read more button below)

. . . . .

i am a 25 year old artist and cosplayer from england! i've been drawing ever since i learnt how to walk and i was always very fond of dressing up in costumes as i was growing up, but i officially got into cosplaying and attending conventions in 2009. i have worked at conventions a few times as a sales assistant, but i have always really wanted to start tabling at cons with my own art and handmade accessories someday! at the moment i make art prints, stickers, badges, and accessories and jewellery with pony beads, but i would love to branch out in future and make even more things with other materials and methods. i'm super into fashion, particularly styles such as y2k futurism and decora to name a few, and prefer to create casual cosplay looks for characters rather than fully cosplay nowadays (then i can represent my favourite characters on an almost daily basis instead of only wearing a costume to events a couple times a year heheee)

i'm also a lifelong gamer and collector! the first game i ever played was the original sonic the hedgehog on the mega drive back when i was a microbe of a child... i still have the covers from my old sonic 1 and 2 mega drive copies! ever since then i've been super obsessed with sonic and many other sega titles, particularly nights, space channel 5 and samba de amigo. other than sega IPs, i really love third person action games, social mmos/mmorpgs, rhythm and arcade games. i'm especially drawn to games that have character customisation.

i love to collect merch of all my favourite things, both official and fan made! i'm always hunting for merch new and old that i do not own yet, and i love to support other artists and small businesses by buying fan merch or commissions! ✧･:₊·

lastly, i am a huge fan of vocal synths! discovering vocaloid and hatsune miku back in 2007 rewired my brain permanently, which led me to create my own mikumikudance and figma stop motion videos; and then my own utau in 2010 named bobbi navine! they are one of my many many many ocs. also despite mostly owning several pieces of merch of miku, my actual favourite vocaloid is sf-a2 miki LOL

. . . . .

as for my future on tumblr and dreamwidth, i would like to somewhat consistently post updates about things! (<- very forgetful) i hope to at least post some art and craft updates when i have something new finished and ready to post, some fashion things, travel diaries and vlogs, and a lot of gushing about my ocs and all time favourite franchises and media. i would actually really love to use these sites as some sort of an archive for my merch collections? just a bit of everything and anything to look back on in the future someday, and for anyone else who stumbles across my blogs ( ´ ω ` )... given that these websites don't ever go down or anything and lose everything to the void, since we all know how much of a nightmare internet archiving has been lately LMAOOOO,, i also really want to customise my dreamwidth blog's layout and make it look nice eventually too :D i know i have a lot of ideas constantly bouncing around in my skull i have issues and problems

but yeah! if you got this far, thank you so much for reading! ♡ i know it was a lot of words but it's nice to have the freedom to write as much as i want in a single post without being held back by a character limit, it's been a long time since i've been able to write something at length like this even if it was just an introduction <:3c stay tuned for plenty more word vomit

have a gif, honk 🛸✨

ps. if you’d like to know where else on the internet you can find me, i’ll try to finish my ABOUT page on this blog with all of my links to other sites and such soon!

If your muses played video games, what would they be?

sticking with just the genshin muses for simplicity

alhaitham — turn-based strategy and musical rhythm games ayato — idle games. he's a busy man, he doesn't have time to wait around actively playing all these games smh diluc — any sort of match 3 game fischl — so many jrpgslumine — i stand by the idea that she's canonically played minecraft and loved it before she dropped into teyvat, so. minecraft. either that. or visual novels ningguang — business tycoon simulators or idle games rosaria — anything dealing with survival horror. her favorite would probably be outlast 2. she'd like the screwed up religious aspect of it, ironically zhongli — abstract puzzle games pantalone — also tycoon simulators. either that, or real time strategy games. sandrone — sims, because she likes the simple idea of telling somene to do something and then they do it. plays with the autonomy off. dottore — also sims, except he specifically plays it with the kinds of violent mods that bump the rating up to R so he can make fucked up challenges and the winners get to move onto the next challenge. either that, or sandrone makes him put 'em up on the gallery so she can use them too- yue — literally any dancing or singing game. either that, or best fiends. she'd like the little creachurs daichi — wordscapes. yuchen — any sort of mmorpg so he could be a menace to everyone else playing the game muncie — fighting games! big fan of mortal kombat specifically blanche — you know those, like. point and click mystery detective-type games? yeah.

arcade update:

prichan and pripara are gone now, but they haven’t rearranged the space or added more primagis (my wistful but unlikely hope) so they’re just slightly farther apart while still somehow feeling like they’re on top of each other.

what they have done is taken one primagi and made it be out of service. they usually do this when they’re planning to move stuff around and haven’t gotten to it yet, so whatever. but of all of the primagi recorders that cabinet had the one that worked best :( today I tried a bunch of times to get a vid of the new mychara song VIVImajicarat☆STAR

which is on the Vivid Star stage and which is my fav of the 3 arcade-only songs but they all failed within seconds..... it’s possibly my usb so I’ll bring more than 1 next time, but another thing that is true is that all of the recorder remotes are absolutely fucked, like the box refuses to recognize the signal from it. I’ve never had a problem w the remotes till primagi so idk if they’ve gotten old or if the primagic is interfering w the technology or my personal suspicion, if they’ve needed new batteries for months but the staff doesn’t check the recorder in the routine game checks. what if I just bring batteries the next time I go and change them lol (I will not do this)

anyway repeated recording failures really killed my motivation to play a ton of primagi like I planned, so I played a ton of aipura!! for literally the first time this year, the first time in months!! definitely the first time since primagi came out. things I was reminded of abt it:

oh god the loading times are still so long. I completed a full news article every time it tried to read my idol license.

touch screen!!!🎶☀️💡♪💖( ＾ω＾)✨🌈👆🎵 totally forgot how much fun it is to play the rhythm game w it!

even when I know there is no possible way I will fail dress change, I still stress about it every time ugh

and some new thoughts:

after playing primagi I found myself thinking ‘wow this is cheap’ because I didn’t buy any swings so my games were 100円 lmao... how the turn tables

though I was also impossibly more disillusioned w the coord & song offerings than I was pre-primagi (usual disclaimer that this is not a judgement on people who like them, people like different things and that’s good and ok, etc)

I tried the real time battle mode once... on accident bc they updated the menu by removing all of the text from it lmao!! I won (though I think it was actually vs the computer bc it was a weird time to be in the arcade) but it was still anxiety-inducing. ‘what abt it was anxiety-inducing’ idk the thought of the possible presence of a person somewhere else in the country onto whom I was forcing the imposition of having to be made aware of my existence. I guess. this is my curse and also why I can never play mmorpgs no matter how fun they look

distance from my initial impression of Never Never/Shubidubi Swing + playing them in the game did improve them, though I still don’t love either... Paralela World is def the only Lab song I enjoy

but the biggest thing was my immense relief at how the tiny little bug of a recorder attached to planet never gives you any problems. you just press a button to start and press it again to stop and that’s IT. I mean I haven’t checked the vids yet so maybe they’re all scrambled but no error message that blocks the whole screen and that the non-functioning remote prevents you from dispelling popped up so afaic it did a perfect job.

The Legacy of Aerin Ravage; How FFXIV Became My Most Treasured Game.

Just a heads up, this is a post that I'm making to celebrate father's day. I understand that this isn't an easy holiday for everyone, and my heart goes out to everyone who dreads this day every year. I hope you find yourself surrounded by friends to help the day fly by, and that you can find some way to treat yourself, whether through memory or merriment.

I've always had something of a selective memory. On the one hand, I can recite the abilities, types, stats, and utility of practically any Pokémon you throw at me. On the other, I tend to forget any task that might seem banal, regardless of if it might occur once a year or every day. The same can be said of my childhood; for much of it, there's naught left but gaping holes where years of school memories should be. Yet there's certain things that stick out as clear as day, as though they might've happened just days ago. This is especially true when it comes to video games.

There are few memories more vivid than those that were made with me sitting on the living room floor while my dad played certain games. He never varied these much; for a while, it was GTA:IV. During a certain period, he played mostly rhythm games, especially DDR and Guitar Hero. Most notable, however, was an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XI. Admittedly, the game wasn't much to watch. Hours would be spent wandering through vast landscapes, trying to follow obtuse quest objectives or grinding away at enemies. He'd spend night after night in a particular dungeon, sometimes alone or occasionally in a small party, slashing at skeletons or other fairly standard creatures. What did stand out, however, was his character: Aerin Ravage.

I'd ask about her every once in a while - about this online persona that he poured so much into. I learned of the differences in how she acted, occasionally I'd learn what she liked and disliked. She was a White Mage, primarily, so that's what I heard about most; the fulfilment that came with keeping a party alive, or offering resurrections and teleports to friendly strangers. She was much more than a character, but much of those details are too personal to go into here. I drew her once, back when I was really into drawing, and gave it to my father as a gift. I'm not sure where that drawing went, honestly.

However one day Aerin would find herself in another place - another realm: Eorzea. Now, I don't believe she was ever a part of the infamous "1.X" version of Final Fantasy XIV. Rather, my dad joined during the early stages of A Realm Reborn; after the terrible launch that had plagued the game's original incarnation. Of course, I didn't know about any of this at the time - I heard small tidbits, like the terrible optimization and performance - but for the most part, my only knowledge came from a scene that played if you lingered for a minute or so on the home screen - The fall of Dalamud.

My father was pretty busy during these days. I can't remember if my sister had been born yet, but I do know that often my mother would ask him for some of his time in the middle of the evening, and he would leave his Playstation alone for a while. Being adverse to staying in my room at the time, I'd often wait for him in the living room to see if I might catch him playing FFXIV. During this time, I'd bear witness to the spectacle of Dalamud's descent; the bloody, horrible battle between the Eorzean Alliance and Garlemald, the eruption of the red moon, the unimaginable fury of the great primal, Bahamut. I was utterly transfixed.

I can't recall everything I've seen while I watched Aerin Ravage during her adventure, but a number of things stick out; countless attempts to take down a challenging version of Ifrit, the great Hildibrand Manderville trying to solve an investigation while dressed up in a wedding gown, and lots, and lots, and LOTS of crafting. Later, after the release of Heavensward, I'd also witness a harrowing encounter with Hraesvelgr, as well as the tedium of collecting Aether Currents long before they'd be made incredibly easy. In my head, there was nothing connecting any of these things together, even when the memory was fresh, but I remember feeling enchanted all the same.

It would be many, many years before I would finally get a chance to go on an adventure of my own. I didn't begin playing until Shadowbringers 5.2 was already out, and I didn't really get into the game until 5.3. I (thankfully) missed out on much of the game's initial trappings (I don't know what a TP is and frankly I'm too afraid to ask.) When I started out, my character was nothing more than a self-insert. She shared my legal name, and for a while she didn't have much in terms of character. I'd gravitated towards being a monk, so for a while she was just a "punchy bun." Eventually though, I started wanting to flesh her out. She needed a name, and I spent some time deliberating on one.

I found myself revisited by another old memory that'd been made on that living room carpet in front of my dad's tv. He'd made a number of friends through Final Fantasy, and he enjoyed talking about his home life, especially his children. However, he preferred to have a certain amount of anonymity, especially concerning us. Thus, he referred to us as titles instead; I was eldest, and my brother was youngest. I can't say why this particular detail stuck out to me so intensely after so many years, but like I said, my memory is bizarre and selective. Whatever the case, I'd decided: my Warrior of Light would be renamed to Eldest Ravage. Fitting, considering the explanation for Viera names in lore.

Since then, FFXIV has become my favorite game of all time, period. I've become friends with some of the most wonderful people in the world through this game, and its influence on me as a person has been irreversible. I fell back into my old passion of writing, and at the time of this post I've already written 30,000 words of fanfiction retelling my character's story. I've revisited art, something that used to make me anxious after being bullied into hating it, and have since started taking commissions. I've learned to master gpose as a way of telling stories and expressing my love for my characters, especially Eldest. There are other reasons why I started playing; one of my partners at the time urged me to play it, and the game had gone on-sale during the early stages of a certain event that would have me home much more often. However, I would be remiss not to attribute much of my love for this game to my father, and to Aerin Ravage herself. Without them, and without this game, I would be a much different person. As of yet, we haven't had the chance to play the game together. Even after all these years, Aerin seems to prefer her home in Vana'diel than the adventures she's had in Eorzea. Just a matter of taste, of course, and I can't say I blame them. Actually, the only reason I've been able to take these pictures is because I had to pester them for Aerin's character data for over a month, yet there's still something so magical to me about seeing Eldest and Aerin side-by-side. Even if they might be separated for a while longer, it still brings me much joy to be able to include Aerin in Eldest's story. Happy Father's Day, dad. Here's to the next adventure!

What kind of video games do you think the Sayu Crew play? I kinda think they were playing something like Mario Kart or Mario Party in the credits doodle, though I guess they could be playing Smash too...

Since they're all hardcore otaku, they probably play a bunch of MMORPGs, but I could definitely see them playing a lot of party games together when they just want to chill after a hard day of work. Some random headcanons for their game preferences:

Remi: The genre doesn't really matter as long as the characters are cute. Beat-em ups, shoot-em ups, visual novels, platformers, etc. It just has to be cute or have endearing characters.

Tila: Likes dating sims that have dark twists and/or a lot of angst, but dedicates some time to a particular MOBA.

Dodo: Master of rhythm/dance games. Also likes slashers and classic RPGs.

Sofa: Loves rouge-likes and action roleplay adventures. Also makes time for farm sims and some resource management games.

If in theory I wanted to get into FF14 how would you recommend beginners get into it?

HMMMM well there's a free trial you can start off with to see if you like it and there's no time limit on the trial too, aka with it you can complete like. all of A Realm Reborn and most if not all of the following expansion Heavensward. and there's gonna be some restrictions ofc but they're not in my opinion major ones. it's also a monthly subscription to the game and having to buy the following expansions but each expansion has easily hundreds of hours of content so you get your money's worth imo

With me when I started it I just went in knowing absolutely nothing and the game has tips and entries which elaborate on stuff to help you out and guide you through it and it might seem overwhelming at first and fetch-questy but it's easy to get into the rhythm of things. Whichever class you start with - there's a choice of 8: 5 physical, 3 magical, and then there's TONS of other classes you can change to once you hit the level requirement like Dancer, Gunbreaker, Ninja etc - make sure you're doing those class quests because I hit near the end of A Realm Reborn and hadn't done my Lancer quests and didn't know until someone (politely and patiently thank god) told me I should LOL so make sure you do those

But really I recommend playing the first little bit of the game and see how you feel about it!! Since it's free first starting out you're under no obligation to continue if you don't like it and MMORPG's of course aren't for everyone (even talking in the chat just to say hi to duty party members still makes me nervous augh) but yeah that's all I can think of rn!!

OH also: you'll see next to your character's name a little green sprout and that just means you're a new player! You'll see a ton of them always wherever you go and during the duty parties people are super patient which is nice :)

THE QUESTION I'M SURE EVERYONE IS WONDERING---- is sophie an Epic Gamer 😎🎮🏆✨✨ /hj

BUT LEGITIMATE QUESTION-- what kind of games do you think sophie would possibly pick up? otome games? fighter games? mmorpgs? do tell!

non-prompted ask | always accepting | @artificile

LYNN, - 

Look at this face! This is the face of an epic gaymer. You should see the rig she has back home! Completely up with the times and probably is a part of a guild on FF.14 while maining as a astrologian. 

Okay, all jokes aside: it’s just a rule of them that Sophie is genuinely disconnected from her current generation - no matter what the verse is, but she is always considered a little behind with the modern going-ons (even in those dated back in the medieval time). 

In this regard, video games were kind of an odd thing for her - she certainly played one or two as a child but that was restricted severely when she was around the age of ten. Be it out of her own choice or someone else’s is the question to ask, but that was she was throwing herself in complete adamancy to master hatmaking, tailoring, and also ensuring the happiness and success of her sisters. With newly found responsibilities at such a young age, video games sort of become secondary to her and she relied more on her imagination and drawing to let the time pass by.

Does this mean Sophie doesn’t like video games? Quite the opposite!  For a girl known for escapism and imagining herself as a different person altogether, the ability to insert herself into other stories or people is very compelling to her.  

A lot of her preferred genres would be lore-heavy and reading-heavy, so that would be she would be a VISUAL NOVEL fan. I don’t think she’ll be quite a big fan of otome games, given her own feelings about romance. She doesn’t exactly want her ‘incompleteness’ right in her face when some character is trying to convince her about how else the world works. 

She’s also the type who loves puzzles and problem solving, she will most definitely be having a hand on strategy games that go into into the J(RPG) genre. She doesn’t mind having a default MC or a developed one, but she certainly wants one where the character has a personality - even if it will be strikingly different than her own. Truthfully, all she wants to do is experience different things - emotions and events - because the life of the eldest daughter isn’t exactly ‘fortunate’ for her to have such chances. 

 I can also see her handling more light-hearted puzzles like the ‘I Spy’ variants on a mobile app to keep herself entertained (or help keep kids distracted if she’s caring for them). If you’re noticing a pattern, it’s always something having to do with the mind and it is something that she needs a lot of - a big ol’ distraction or a big output (like a game) where she can over-pour a lot of her mental energy into.

HONESTLY? Stuck with this headcanon for a while but Sophie’s got a lot of pent up physical energy with how cooped up she can be. If she can get her hands on any music video games like DDR (so think rhythm games, mainly) and be able to move around, that is VERY good for her. She enjoys them because she’s able to experience adrenaline and challenge herself together - keeping mind and body happy while also letting out all of this energy that tends to worsen her anxiety. 

EDIT: Honestly? You can catch her playing horror games too if she’s very much needing a distraction. It’s sometimes better to deal with fictional horror than reality sometimes, so she definitely goes into games that aren’t as cemented in ‘real world’ horror. It gets a little too real for her before she has to turn it off and avoid triggering herself.
