Thing is the Saturn game is an example of not only implying, but even outright showing it, Rulue is even shocked and tells Satan that he went too far when it seems like he had something to do with the events at hand. of course she goes back into fangirl mode by the end of the game, when it becomes clear that he has been doing his own part to help out, but the game does show this more reasonable Rulue that even with some rough moments here and there would make a genuine friend for Arle and I actually like it, it's refreshing.
Actually, I don't know if you remember this, but I should mention (though I don't know if you'll find this as a good example) that in the Puyo LN's (specifically, Satan's Amusement Park) there's a scene that involves Amitie and Rulue interacting with each other.
Specifically, Amitie asks Rulue just why EXACTLY does she dislike Arle so much, to which Rulue surprisingly replies that she doesn't hate Arle as a person at all.
Heck, if it wasn't for Satan and her intense love for him, she and Arle would probably get along better than they currently do, and as I've said before, this conversation actually DOES come up AGAIN in Chronicles, but with ALLY instead of Amitie bringing up the subject to Rulue.
Yeah I know, I just focused on Schezo because that was what were talking about and frankly I do think that he is the most notable and persistent example.
True that. True that.
Depends on what the premise is, given that it would have to involve time travel I'd say that it might be for the best to make such a game a retelling of Puyo Wars' story, just with the regular Puyo cast in it as well, considering how many people would be first introduced to the Puyo Wars' world and cast with such a game, in that case bring in all of that game's main cast.
If it took place after Puyo Wars, then you could still have most of the main cast Angol Mois would be a good guy now, since he is purified at the end of the game, the only ones that would likely not be back are the Fifths, since they are dead, unless they were brought back to life, which I actually wouldn't mind, given how dark and horrific their origin is.
The only ones that strike me as NPC material are Puyorin and maybe the nameless Professor or the goddess Eldora, but I'd say make as many playable as possible, if there wasn't a full game focusing on Puyo Wars crossing over with the main games though and we could only have a few characters then it would have to be Daichi, Marin and Sho, no questions asked.
OK, first off, PLEASE forgive me for the wall of questions I'm about to ask.
1. Wait, Angol Mois is good by the end of that game and the Fifths are destroyed? What did I miss in that? I mean, I'll admit I don't have much knowledge of the game due to its obscurity, but still...
2. Doyou think the Professor and Puyorin would run the game's shop, taking over from Ms. Accord and Popoi? Speaking of which, can you imagine the irony of Puyorin being playable?
3. You know, I just remembered that in the world of Puyo Wars, Arle and Carbuncle seem to be hailed as heroes. Maybe once Arle and Carbuncle enter Daichi's time, they'd be hailed as celebrities, and everyone else would either be not as remembered/cared about despite their titles (
Fighting Queen Rulue,
Dark Wizard Schezo,
Ruler of Puyo Hell Satan, and other Madou-era characters) or just a totally anomaly to their dimension (Amitie, Ringo, and everyone else introduced to the series, Fever 1 and onward).
4. Did Eldora even have have a physical appearance?
5. What WAS the origin of the Fifth, anyways? Never been clear to me, personally.
Saw it and said my piece in my reblog.
Again, the unfortunate thing about me not having seen the show in so long is that I can only hardly spot references or say how well you capture it's style, but what I have seen so far does give me heavy Phantomias vibes, which means that I am going to very much enjoy your fic.
Oh, OK. I see what you reblogged.
Also, you know what's crazy? After my idea of Choppun being Darkwing Duck, I had the idea of Schezo being Phantomias/Paperinik/Duck Avenger.
No joke, I feel like Schezo has a LOT of material that could give him (almost) the exact same origin. Having grievances with almost the entire cast of the series (with Arle, Satan, and Rulue standing out among them more), and from there, he'd use an alter-ego as the means of getting delicious revenge on any and all who wronged him/attempt to wrong him.
Later down the line however, he would do WAY more
good in this alter-ego and actually be cheerful about it, so as to not draw attention to him and his aforementioned alter-ego being the same person.
Risukuma could be his "go-to-guy" for any and all gadgets and other science doodads. Otherwise, any other weapons Schezo acquired would be from magical occurrences/his cases.
As we know, normally he's not one to do good unless he gets paid for his deeds. He'd also take tons of lessons in order to take care of his little "speech impediment", although this would lead into the next thing below...
Heck, I was even thinking of Witch being his sidekick. I mean, I even had the whole thing planned out in that Witch is the only who could tell that Schezo and his alter-ego are one and the same (via a slip of the tongue by Schezo's speech impediment), and she attempts to blackmail him into letting her be his sidekick . The reasons being that she sees it as an opportunity to get back at Arle and Draco, and that this could be an opportunity for her to spend time with Schezo (though she'd never admit this out loud.)
Edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot, I made this Quest icon for Choppun a while back:
If you ever want to use it for anything go right ahead.
Oh, wow! This looks amazing! As I've said in my reblog post about Doppel. Schezo and Dark Witch last night, I honestly feel that it'll only be a matter of time before Choppun (alongside many others) get brought back to the series, even if it's only in Quest.
