Grandia II Novel

In case someone wants what I have so far, please keep in mind that I use a screen capture to grab text to transcribe from the novels, they are very small. So there are many spelling errors! Please also keep in mind that this is currently JP only. I shall get to translating it. I am through the first chapter but would like someone good at english to help me.

I learned there is a text limit on here www You're going to notice a lot of numbering issues, and that there is inconsistency from the game to the novel. I like the idea of both a little (Short section up to page noted 23)

第・章グラナス数からの依頼と気の進まない依頼を受けて、リュードがカーボの村に着いたのは、すでに日が暮れてずいぶん経ったころだった。リュードはジオハウンドである。ジオハウンドとは、金さえもらえば、あらゆる依頼をこなす者のことをいう。危険は多いが、組織に属することもなく、自分の力だけで金を稼げるのが、リュードにとっては魅力だった。夜更けだというのに、村の片隅には十人近い村娘たちの姿があった。十代半ばの若い娘たちばかりだった。どの少女も、白を基調にしたグラナス教の神官服を着ている。その服を見ただけで、リュードはうんざりした。ジオハウンドのことを白い目で見る庶民が多い。中でも清廉潔白がうたい文句のグラナス教徒は、ジオハウンドのことを金のためならなんでもする意地汚ない調だと思っていることをリュードはよく知っていた。グラナス数とはグラナスという神をあがめ、その教えによって人々に幸福をもたらすという宗数だ。信者数といい、規模といい、世界最大である。 16 17 第一部グラナス級からの依新今回の仕事の依頼は、ここカーボの村に住むグラナス数の神父からだった。リュードは宗教に対して、これといった偏見も差別意識ももっていない。ただ関心がないだけだ。とはいええ、陰で悪口を言いながら、困ったことがあると仕事を頼むというのも、虫のいい話だと思う。よっぽど無視しようかと思ったのだが、結局リュートは仕事を受ける決心をして、足を運んできた。確かに気の進まない仕事だったが、断おわけにはいかなかった。ジオハウンドの仕事を始めるときに、リュードは、いくつかの決まりごとをつくった。どんな仕事も断らない、仕事はひとつしか受けない、仕事は絶対に完遂するーこれは自分との約束であり、そうである以上絶対に破ることはできなかった。それに、稲にのっているスカイ。外見は驚そのものだが、人間の言葉を話し、また理解することもできる。出会って二年あまり。今ではいつも行動をともにしている。この相棒と一緒なら、今回の依頼も仕事も楽しくやれるはずだ。カーポの村は、リュートの住処からそう遠くないところにある。しかし足を踏み入れるのは初めてだ。理由はここが、熱心なグラナス数の信者たちの村として有名だからである。村の印象は夜ということをさし引いても、見るからに面白みのないひなびた感じだった。そのとき。何やら話しこんでいた神官服の娘たちが、列をなして村を出ていった。「こんな時間に、どこへ行く気だ？」リュートがつぶやくと、スカイが冷やかすように言った。「若い娘たちが気になるのはわかるが、道草くってないで依頼主のところへ急げよ」スカイの皮肉は、今に始まったことではない。反論しても、口だけはリュードより達者なのて、逆にやりこめられるのもシャクだ。リュードはそれ以上何も言わず、村の奥へ足を進めた。教会は村の奥にあった。天に向かってそびえるような三角屋根が印象的な建物は、古びてはいるが、月明かりで見てもきちんと整備されているのがわかり、村人たちがいかに教会を大切にしているかが感じられた。教会の前庭には、噴水が造られ、その中央にグラナスの像がそびえ立っていた。倍者であったなら、立ち止まって両手を合わせるところだろうが、リュードは意にも介さず教会の入り口に向かった。教会の正面の扉に手を伸ばした。わずかに開けただけでリュードは動きを止めた。教会の中から、歌声が聞こえてくる。贅美歌だろうか。初めて耳にする歌だった。その歌声は、聞く者の心を惹きつける不思議な魅力をもっていた。聞いているだけで心が癒されるような響き。リュードは歌を邪魔しないよ 18 19 第一章グラナス教からの依額うにそっと扉を開けて、教会の中に入った。礼拝堂の正面で祭皿に向かって、神官服の少女が歌を歌っていた。リュードは近くの椅子に腰を下ろし、黙って歌を聴いた。ところが歌が盛り上がってきたところで、ぷつりと少女は歌うのをやめてしまった。「ああ。こんなことだったら、もっと練習しておくんだったわ」少女は今にも泣きだしそうな声で言った。華奢な両肩が小刻みに震えているのが、離れたりュードから見てもよくわかった。もうおしまいなのかと思いながら、リュードは立ち上がった。その音に少女はピクリと体を揺らし振り返った。だれ「誰？」少女は、声も休もガチガチに緊張していた。リュートは椅子から立ち上がると、少女の質問には答えず言った。「神父さんを呼んでくれ」「どんなご用ですか」愛らしい見かけとは裏腹に、意外と気は強そうだった。「オレを呼んだのはそっちのほうだ」「わたしがあなだを？そんな覚えはありません」少女が声を荒くしたとき、奥の扉が開いて、神父が姿を現した。「エレナ、どうかしましたか？」「神父様、この人が…・・・・・」すぐに少女は助けを求めるように、神父のところに駆け寄った。エレナというのが、その少女の名前らしい。神父はリュートに目を向けた。怪謝そうな顔をしたが、すぐに納得した様子で言った。「あなたは、もしかしてジオハウンドの方では？」リュードは無言でうなずいた。すぐに神父は、傍目から見てもつくり笑いだとわかる大げさひょうじょうな表情になった。「リュード様ですね。お待ちしておりました」リュードに向かって両手を広げた。それとは対照的に、彼がジオハウンドだと知ったエレナの顔つきは、いっそう固くなった。リュードを見つめる嘘には、あきらかな軽蔑の色が浮かんでいた。やれやれと思ったものの、リュードは気にしないことにした。いちいち取り合っていたらきりがない。少女とは別に、神父は不審そうにリュートの肩を見ていた。「ああ、こいつはペットのスカイ」 20 月にのったスカイを見やった。ペットと言われて、スカイは非難するような目でリュードをにらんだが、神父たちの手前、何も言わずプイと横を向いた。醍乱を避けるため、リュート以外の人がいる前では、スカイは単なる驚のふりをしている。それが一種の決まりになっていた。「エレナ、そろそろ時間です。支度をしてきなさい」「は、はい、失礼いたします」エレナは神父に深々と頭を垂れると、リュードのほうには振り向きもせず、奥の扉から姿を着していった。「何か失礼はありませんでしたか？」神父はリュードに訊いた。「いや、別に。どこへ行ってもいい顔はされないから」「そんなつもりでは。ところでリュート様、依頼状をお読みいただけたのですね？」ごあい「ああ。確か護衛ってことだったが？」「ええ、そうなんです。今日は満月で、特別な日なんです。今夜でなくてはできない儀式が、村はずれの神殿・カルミアの塔て行われるのです。そこへ神官のエレナを、送り届けていただきたいのです。そして儀式が終わったあと、またここまで送っていただきたいのです」「それだけていいのか？」

#grandia ii #grandia2 #grandia 2 novel

Hello!

I made this with the intention to share my translations, art possibly, musings and mostly my AU.

I’ve loved this game for years and was one of the first games I fully played in English and even learned to read off of! (The word items I read as i-ti-mits for literal years)

I am English and Japanese speaking and like to translate to share works with others that I hope will enjoy the media!!

For the game, I have long disliked a lot of the things for it. It’s very clear to me that it was written in the 90s by all men.

I think there is a lot of debate on the side of romance that is either “team Millenia” or “team Elena” and while I do like Ryudo and Elena as a couple (as I feel like Millenia is significantly older and it’s kind of just weird) that both girls were written poorly for the sake of having two women on the arms of a man.

I think Millenia was made out to be hot sexy demon lady oh bad girl. And Elena was made out to be stupid church sheep that doesn’t know how to form her own opinion and loses her will to live because the church told her to (no, game, that’s a cult)

I also strongly dislike that the churches villainized as a whole instead of having a few antagonists here or there. To me the message as a child sent to me was that the church is evil and that no religion can ever be good.

The message of the game I feel like is that people should believe in people there’s good and dark in all, a proper balance. And I think that’s true! But I don’t think it was displayed well in the game.

Personally, I think if I am happy to use my space, there’s a lot. A LOT. I would like to improve in my little AU space.

I think Millenia deserves to be more than hot lady. I think Roan needs his own arc. I feel like forcing Roan and Tio together as an implied romance is just because they’re the last two of the main cast together.

I don’t genuinely feel like Mareg should have died??

This one doesn’t make much sense to me because the whole point of that was the gods are dead, but he prayed to the God, and the God answered, so was the game lying to us the entire time that the gods are dead, did a different God answer his prayer, how the hell did that happen we don’t know he needed to die for plot and I feel like that was wrong.

Skye is a fantastic character and while he gets screen time seems to be forgotten. A lot.

So! While I am not the best worded. I hope you will enjoy my tiny space where I share things I want to do.

I will do my best to write out my ideas or just throw them out there !

A few warnings :

• I don’t do the whole age gap thing. So, I’ve been trying to come up with different ways to actually make Millenia the same age without making her seem overly stupid or just kinda boop. Plopped there.

I’m also looking at different possibilities of either a sort of choose your own route sort of romance. Or leaving her out as a romance option. I really think she’s a character that would benefit from experiencing romance and then being the one to make the decision that she does not want it.

Let’s be real, I understand the symbolism of her becoming a teacher at the end of the game. But she has very little patience, so much so that she has her own game mechanic for being annoyed so much that she will attack her party members that never got solved or fixed. She has clear anger management issues, and we do see her scream at the children at the end of the game. I don’t think she wants to have children, I don’t think she wants to be around children, and that’s more than perfectly valid for her to want to either be with somebody and not have children or be on her own, and live her life without a child.

As it is right now. I don’t like her being a romance option not for Elena nor Ryudo.

• I have a LOT of OCs for this. A lot. I love them dearly. And I do let them romance other characters. :)

• I change characters pretty strongly.

We see Elena is really rather strong willed, opinionated, and she doesn’t seem to really back down when confronted in the very beginning of the game, as soon as that first chapter goes by we see her personality completely changed to just be a passive wallflower that seems to have no opinions of her own except when the plot calls for it

Millenia design wise and personality wise seems to be just there for the sex. In fact. I refuse to do the whole of the SAing is ok because he’s a boy and she’s a hot lady with huge titties. It’s disgusting and wrong.

Both these characters get changed. I think the most.

Millenia I feel like means a lot to me. She means a lot to me dearly. I want her to be happy and I don’t think a silk body suit, sheer mesh butt piece and boots really so much for her as a character.

So design wise. I changed her a lot. I also took her horns because. She’s the wings?? Not the horns. I do like the idea of her wings being constantly visible.

• Game mechanics get applied !!

I don’t think we see a lot of this in the actual story of the game except for on the battlefield and in some random NPC dialogue from time to time. Magic is quite consistent and seems like pretty normal within the world.

And yet. No one talks about it?

Elena’s White apocalypse is a pretty heavy magic attack in fact we see it like decimate a part of the world. I don’t think that something that could really be skipped over. I would also like to mention her first skill that we can unlock his impact bomb. She carries explosives on her ???

Roan seems to be very apt with magic and I would argue makes one of the best mages. In plot ideally and game mechanic wise.

Millenia’s in battle mechanic needs applied. She obviously doesn’t like being touched consistently by people, she has personal space issues, she chooses and picks when she wants to touch someone and likes to be in control of that, and obviously has anger management issues. So much so that she can attack literally anyone.

• The Millenia and Elena sharing the same body.

Yeah I’m sorry to whoever this pisses off. I’m not doing it. It limits both characters so much for the sake of haha she be sexy demon lady some time.

I know it’s left up to interpretation, per the interview with the developers, that either Millenia is the embodiment of Elena’s desires or that Elena is both characters switching back and forth.

Again with the age difference, yes her biography says she’s 17, but all of the books also state actual age “???” And that she “appears” 17. She’s clearly much older as she is a piece of a god that had lived even will say a minimum of a century ago. She has physical previous existence and I don’t think that should be taken.

Millenia should be allowed to be her own character. This is why I make her, physically, her own person. It also gives her the ability to come and go as she pleases, and run her own side of the story where she gets to interact with people on her own and in a group. I feel like she was kind of robbed of the existence and we see her maybe six or seven times in the span of a game it’s always for a battle, she never gets the luxury to sit down with a group for a meal, or really interact with anybody. This is why even more so her romance with Ryudo doesn’t make sense to me because she’s forced herself on him a couple of times and she just somehow loves her afterwards ??

• Ryudo’s kind of a flirt. I don’t know another word for it. But as a self proclaimed hater of women. He sure likes girls.

I know he’s not made out to be that way in the English game. But let me tell you. The novel?

Some of the dialogue in game? The difference in some of the translations from JP to ENG is a little surprising as to how forward he is.

In the novel meeting Elena he makes a remark to himself about how they’re the same age. The postures himself when they walk through the forest.

In the novel after the fight with Millenia, Skye makes a remark of Ryudo being a little too busy looking at basically ass and tits on a hot woman.

Ryudo makes a few remarks to Elena that he thinks she’s cute before and in Mirumu.

And in game Ryudo’s taken with Elena even before they leave the village, with comments such as the ENG translate of “still she’s not like other girls”

I don’t intend to change his character much, as they put the most work into him. But I think he deserves to be a teenage boy. I feel like he comes off as a 20 something in game vs 16/17 in the novels and works.

• I don’t really like the designs or bios

Sorry to say.

Elena

I don’t like that Elena has a different uniform, and wow this one is a very minimal one, she works for an organization. And we see that the girls in Carbo are absolutely the only members of the church at any time that we see with a truly unique and personalized outfit for the church when they would be considered peons in rank. I can understand the high priestess having a different outfit, and some higher ups. I don’t understand somebody as low as a song stress having a unique uniform.

I change her uniform to be more to the general ranks.

Physically I don’t change much more on her than this. Story wise. I give her brothers (OCs) is the game kind of seems to have a consistent theme of killing parents and nobody really has parents. I gave her a tiny family.

Ryudo has like plot reasons for it. Elena’s is never touched on. Mareg’s is never touched on.

Elena’s personality is kept in tact and I refuse to give her this sheep stupid suicidal mentality. She seems to give up absolutely everything she stands for before she even gets to the cathedral. And ask her words I understand her change was supposed to be a thing of self righteousness and sacrifice, but she completely give up everything she fights for the fact that she wants to help people and is the first one to jump to die, even if it was sacrifice, she doesn’t look for other options. I don’t like that the game made her straight up stupid. I understand naïve because she’s not seen the outside world before but they make her straight up stupid.

For major physical appearance I change her body type a little. I feel like every single woman is hourglass and skinny in this. Based off comments Ryudo makes in the game I made Elena a slightly bit rounder. I made her a little bit more physically built than millennia, seeing as her job is to help people through the village so by that assumption I think she’s constantly doing fetch quests. So soft round face as opposed to millennia heart shaped face.

Pear shaped body, with a smaller bust than Millenia (obviously that woman is huge I make Elena like a DD at most, probably just a a D) Elena has hips a little more than bust. And stronger arms and legs.

Where Millenia comes off as beauty of porcelain and a gorgeous flower. Elena would be a softer, more country, down to earth “realistic” woman.

The world is implied to be in some drought / famine. And the village seems to take care of itself. So, very likely she helps at least bring things from the field.

Millenia

She gets a little bit of a personality change, and more of a design change. So, where I have Elena a stronger personality change and smaller design change, Millenia is getting a stronger design change and smaller personality change.

I don’t honestly think there’s a lot wrong with her personality. I don’t like the fact that she’s made to just be sexy lady figure because she has huge titties so obviously her only purpose is sex and lipstick and haha girl things WHERE IS THE BECHTEL TEST.

The minimal I did to her outfit was I gave her a more cutesy design. It seems to me that her English voice casting doesn’t really match her Japanese voice casting and it was a stark difference for me. Where she is portrayed as girly, and feminine and cute. In Japanese. She’s displayed as the hot, mature, sort of older female character in English. So I opted for cute sort of slightly sexy coquette popular girl style for her.

I did opt to, as I previously touched on, remove the horns from her hair, because we see this is a design piece for her. Like they are an accessory. Because she doesn’t have them in the end? And we know she’s not made human at least we never saw anything that she was so she kind of just puts them on? I feel like her theme needs to be pushed a little more to look like wings. So I did take a lot of inspiration from the other designs she had in the art book.

(I promise I’ll share my images and references !)

I did physically change her body as well, I made her taller. I believe she’s supposed to be like 5 foot five or 5 foot seven? I decided to make her 5 foot nine, with heels off. I like her being tall!

I kept her slender figure and hourglass shape because I believe if she got to pick some of her physical traits, that these are things that she would pick. I did downscale her boobs a little bit I think she’s presented as like a triple H, I pulled her down to like an F and I think that’s fair. She can be an hourglass without snapping her spin from the weight of her boobs. I don’t think that’s very hot.

I over all kept her the physical image of a “sexy” woman. Without her being downright sex. Or soft core.

Mareg

Honestly the game makes him feel like a character that was made purely to die. His death had nothing more than emotional purpose. It left a lot of confusion and questions for me. I understand it’s symbolic, and like the point of having it but it didn’t really suit me.

We see he doesn’t get to talk a lot for somebody who has a lot of opinions. I do like the manner in which he speaks in both languages, but I don’t like the fact that he never really gets anything to say even though we can see through little snippets that he has a little bit of something to say about everything he does not seem like a shy person. He does seem like he has an opinion for everything.

I also want to argue I don’t feel like he’s in his 30s nor do I feel like he’s a supposed 6 feet. If Ryudo is approximately 5 foot nine I don’t think Mareg is a mere 6 foot or so (sorry for my poor conversions) according to a diagram in the books, Mareg and Melfice are the same height (horn included).

Merrick comes off as a late 30s early 40s age with probably a 10 foot height. Or so.

I think we deserve to see a lot more of his past, or implied past. And I think he deserves a lot more dialogue

For his physical changes I didn’t do too much. Because he does have a very nice design but I did make him taller, a little bit more upside down triangle shape. I think more muscular because I believe we hear a story early on in the game whether it’s made up or not the beast men can pick up an entire tree trunk so I didn’t want to lean a little heavier on the muscular side.

And I feel like he needs more fun clothes. 🙂‍↕️

Ryudo and Skye

I group these two together because like I said I’m not doing much with Ryudo‘s personality more than the fact that I am adding a little bit more of the book personality to the game personality. They’re the same person, I just think we get to see him be a little more immature in the book than we do in the game. Because I think the game in English makes him out to be this very serious, very cynical person that doesn’t take any shit from anybody that is always prepared for everything and he’s kind of the adult of the group.

When through NPC dialogue in the game and a lot more interactions in the book we can see that he’s kind of just a fuck ass (i mean this affectionately). He likes scaring old people, he makes a lot of jokes and teases a lot. He doesn’t seem to have an issue making a joke at anyone, any time.

So, I let him have that. I do make some changes to his past, while yes his brother does take the actions that he does. I don’t feel like it was very appropriate for an island that is aware of how these people work, what the idol could have been, the dangers with things, even if they didn’t know what the idol was. I think it’s a little downright stupid for adults to straight up look at a child of 14 years old and say because your brother did this you are no longer welcome here. that’s a little stupid for me

I chalk that one up to traumatize the MC for the sake of an edgy background.

You know what makes more sense? Traumatized 14-year-old who just watched his only blood relative killed the person that he saw as his sister. Destroy the relationship they had together, become so scared that he thinks the village might shine him for it or that there might be some negative consequence for him, that he leaves the village in the middle of the night, of his own accord. He gets scared. He runs away. He cuts ties with this village and his brother and leaves it behind.

I did make the choice of making Skye apart of this family for him as well.

We don’t really know a lot about him nor do I think we ever see a whole lot of dialogue that really gives anything more than oh they met two years before the start of the story so that would make Ryudo 15 ? Or so. He’s been a Geohound for about a year. Meets this bird and trauma dumps on him after not trusting anyone since he got here?

It felt cleaner to make Skye a part of garland. Because Ryudo locks down those feelings and that part of his life, he even cuts his hair. I don’t think it’s something Ryudo wants to dump someone the intimate details of his previous life on when he’s spent all this time trying to actually forget about it and move on like it never happened.

So, Skye, is original family. Saw what happened.

I would like to take this time to point out. When Ryudo introduces Skye in the beginning of the novel, he introduces him as a pet and Skye glares at him. :)

I didn’t make physical changes to Skye. But I did to Ryudo. I sort of evened out his physical build, and I changed his outfit. I understand the game came out in the 90s but it looks like his clothes are from the 80s. They heavily changed his clothing to more suit his work and his personality.

His bio I THINKsays he’s 140 lbs. if he’s approximately 5 foot nine, he has a 3 foot long broadsword but that we have seen him use with one hand, he works physically on a day-to-day basis, he is physically trained insured for several years, and continues that, I don’t think he’s 140 pounds. Based off how he’s drawn by the original artist he’s pushing probably 200 of muscle mass.

Roan

This child needs a whole arc. Honestly.

I feel like there’s a lot we don’t get to see with him that we kind of drop him off and then suddenly he’s a completely different character even though it may be a few days in game implied?

He needs a whole arc. He needs a time where he gets to be on his own! I think his novel has a lot in it that I’m happy to share. Roan does kinda have his own novel!

So there is a single novel and then a two-part novel that are separate from each other. One of them tells a shortened version,/kind of changed, of the main story. And one of them is about him ! Which I’m glad so I want to combine that with some changes. I don’t really have much changes to his design or character more than she doesn’t seem to fit that 13-year-old brought up in royalty we see a lot of these switching back-and-forth and he comes off more as like Ryudo or Elena’s age. So he ALSO needs time to be a child.

It seems the game has a really hard time painting the difference between naive and down right stupid to the point of coming off uneducated.

Tio

I feel like there’s a lot to be said here, but she also doesn’t get a lot of time as a character. We can see the main three characters get a ton of screen time, interaction, and in depth sort of character development. Or implied in-depth character development. It’s even said in the interview that the story is supposed to be Ryudo story, but can also be seen as Elena’s story.

And I do agree with that but it seems like anybody else that you get into the party is an NPC in their own right. And has very little character to them. I disagree with her being a nurse. Especially for somebody that was literally programmed and designed to kill ?? I don’t think going into a job that has a lot of blood and general things I don’t think she would be able to handle as automatan.

I understand this job was picked symbolically because of the empathy behind it but I think there’s a lot more things she could’ve been selected into without being a nurse.

I think this job was picked purely because of the empathy. And well yes she does develop empathy through the game, it’s probably not the best setting especially if she has tactile issues, or she can’t really sense physical things on other human beings she’d be more of a machine and a tool then she would an actual nurse.

I just feel like there’s a lot more that could be explored for her.

Design wise I really didn’t touch it because I do think her Design is absolutely adorable !

Romance wise? I feel like shoving her and Roan together feels like it’s a pairing because they’re the last characters in the game and the main parties that are still alive that can be romanced. They seem like they’re close in age so we might as well throw them together.

I feel like Tio’s ending should be to be able to live with Mareg. In his village. They are a village of people that can sense emotions and she doesn’t really have any. She would get to experience what it’s like to have a family, and be excepted into a family. And have a sort of found family Father figure that guides her. Teaches her skills and their way of life.

I made some physical changes to her, not really look wise. But automaton are one of my favorite fantasy species and I feel like none of her information really lines up for what seems like his portrayed by her and what I like of the species. With one of the major facts being I do believe that she is physically very very strong and she weighs a lot. She’s solid metal. 🙂‍↕️ I think there’s some changes I wanna make to her abilities and I want to look more into if she’d be able to sue magic at all.

I made her more like. Rectangle shaped. More youngish in appearance. I love her cute little design but think she should get more structure to her.

I mention before but!

I add a lot of OCs to this. I’m really pleased for it.

Elena got I think possibly the biggest physical change as I gave her brothers.

I’m really excited because they’re some of my favorite characters.

As it is right now, I have an arc where Elena leaves the party and Millenia gets to fully fill that spot and experience the party.

I feel like if we look at the game as a whole traveling across the country, even in just the very beginning of the game traveling across the forest and a mountain range into the desert is not a single day. The game and plays the whole of the game to be what maybe two weeks in total?

I think we cross three whole mountain ranges.

An ocean. I just don’t feel like the timeline sits pretty well at all, especially considering if we go by the games timeline Millenia gets maybe six appearances and she’s a heavy romance interest. she doesn’t get to ever have a meal with the party. She doesn’t get to sleep in the same tent or experience the same day to day life of working with a group. She doesn’t get to bond with everyone else. But somehow she’s willing to die for Elena?? And then bam. Her death in that scene meant nothing because the friends we made along the way Millenia was here the whole time (creepy)

Millenia deserves more screen time!

Elena should be (punished?) made to live her life without depending on Ryudo for a bit. I think those two end up very close and maybe a little too co-dependent on each other.

I think giving both of them their own separate autonomy lets them experience life as people instead of objects. The game really makes them out to seem objects to me. And I don’t like that. Millennia is a very flighty person, she doesn’t like to stay or interact long or her social battery is very short. So understandably she wouldn’t want to be with the party constantly. But I don’t think she should be completely deprived of the interactions, with a basic rights of being able to share a meal with a party she supposed to fight alongside

I think Elena needs some time to live a little using the skills she learns from the party more than relying on Ryudo for everything.

And I think frankly. Ryudo needs a little bit of time away from that girl. St Heim she’s separated for a whole meal and he’s ready to run to the church. I understand he’s a young teen boy in love. But it kinda breaks that whole lone wolf cool guy persona maybe a little too much.

I do think ultimately, even though I will probably get hate for this.

Elena and Ryudo do seem the more natural a couple. In the interview it stated that Elena becomes a member of a traveling troop because that her way of life is influenced by his. She’s so affected by him she doesn’t stop traveling.

I do think this is also why Millenia should get some time with him as well. Elena and Ryudo, eat, work, sleep and live with each other all hours of the day. We see that he is either constantly watching over her, dotting on her or near her at most times. She watches small habits like how and what she eats. And when she gets seasick it’s implied that he’s right there with her because he makes a comment about how much she threw up.

Millenia needs the change to share meals with him, have some alone time with him, some quiet evenings by a fire, and sharing the same tent space. Or I don’t think their romance has any room to work without it potentially failing.

For what I currently have planned. I will say, I like the idea of Millenia getting to experience the romance she thinks she wants and then her being the one to cut the ties with him. And saying that she does not want that. Being able to actually experience and come to the conclusion herself that this is not what she wants.

I think frankly. Their relationship seems built on her being sexy bad ass demon that throws herself on him.

I would like to find a way to save that. But right now this is what I have 🙂‍↕️

Overall!

I would like to share a LOT of headcanons. My overall AU.

And a bunch of official works! I look forward to sharing the novels with you! I will say the novels are the entirety of the story condensed into two smaller books. And there is what seems like a good information chunk kind of skipped or passed over.

My translations are not amazing either. Please keep in mind. I have a very limited vocabulary.

I’m not the smartest.

You’re going to see some major changes even in as such as Agear, the whole berry scene is taken out.

So I’d like my AU of sorts ( I think it’s considered AU?) to be a combination of allllll the works. With changes.

I hope you enjoy.

Feel free to share your ideas to me. But keep in mind overall this is my AU.

I’m not personally a fan of the Tio Mareg ship.

Or Tio and Ryudo.

I’m not into poly ship and I really don’t think Elena and Millenia get on in that way. I do let them one sided flirt throughout. But Millenia uses flirting as a defensive mechanism and a weapon.

I don’t end things in poly sorry.

I dont like huge age gaps.

And I take a LOT of problematic things out of my AU.

Such as but not limited to the implied almost r*pe scene. SA. And. Whatever that weird thing with Selene and Zera was?? She’s 23 in game. He’s in his 50s and was pursuing her at her young age of 13??

I don’t think villainizing religion as a whole is very right.

This AU is basically a fix to things I didn’t like.

If you have OCs you’re welcome to share them with me! I have a lot you will meet! My favorite one being Lioren.

I expand on the church titles a lot. So we have a lot of church OCs :)

I hope to share my art for my designs as well!

Thank you for reading :)
