A Tale of Heroes (WIP) - 224k words. Updated 29/01/2025!

Lol Ignismancers are gonna be so pissed.

Be right back while I prepare popcorn to watch the shitstorm. @JBento want some popcorn?

Pretty sure there is a Gloria health check that’ll happen in Chapter 6 since we got asked to post our results concerning that after we finished Chapter 5. But I did notice alot of people being unable to get 80% or above while I managed that :joy:

WDYM? Clearly Ignis just got a wholesome present from her besties. It’s her birthday after all! Probably a new Tiara or smth.

Not just that, look to the top right. Some awfully familiar hair I think I spy…

Please, like I would spend my time watching Ignismancers go bananas at a party when I could be spending that time with Aki instead. Pffft.

Jjcb has posted the code of that test like twice already.

ew, idk why people want to romance her, she’s boring, so what if the two most boring characters want to date each other. also was pretty clear that her and reeker was a self insert romance since the beginning of the game…

I was an Ignismancer, but after seeing the forum info I changed my ways. I don’t need romance I need two cats and one dog. :smiley:

Why do you think they’re boring? From my playthroughs the seem pretty interesting. I think Ignis has a good dynamic with “rich girl who doesn’t want to be rich but can’t unrichify herself” and while Seeker my be stereotypically brooding and mysterious it’s still fun to poke at the mystery. If anyone is boring imo it’s Aki/Forlorn, beyond their mysterious past they feel pretty generic thus far.

She feels very… basic, in a “not-like-the-other-girls” way. Feels designed to appeal to a certain demographic ig. A lil alt but not enough to put any normal person off, shy and sweet and into everything cute. Just feels very “standard” to me.

I can sorta see why Forlorn seems a little basic at the moment (though I’d argue his emotional development will be amongst the strongest by the end), but why do you see Aki that way?

:sob: WHY GODDDD!!!

How are they boring? They are not. They have a lot of interesting and good things about them. People actually wanted Seeker as a ro when the game was new.

wanted

Hush, you. I don’t want competition. :stuck_out_tongue:

to be honest I was just romancing Ignis because she is a rich mommy. Seeker is brooding and mysterious and I understand it can be appeling for some but for me is just meh, not bad but not good too.

İ mean if you think the author is interesting after everything… you will find him interesting too i guess, same thing. How’s igis interesting? she just there to be a ro for reeker. They remind me of all those boring het romance books that you’re forced to read growing up. honestly they’re the worse because unfortunately you can’t skip that…reeker as a ro? ew, even forlorn is better.

Found a bug, option goesn’t raise stats:

After picking “I need a long range option” I don’t get any stat boost. I checked with fighting, and it does give me 10% increase if I pick that.

Bit rude no?

IDK I think it’s interesting from a metatextual pov. A relationship that the MC can’t “win” is not common at all among CoG stuff, makes the world and characters feel more real. Also Ignis is bi and afaik canonically has been in relationships with other women, not counting the MC. Considering everyone is playersexual I don’t think it’s fair to cry “forced heterosexuality”. I love a good gay love story as much as the next girl (even written some myself) but ppl are allowed to be straight lol.
