Was Dimitri from Fire Emblem Three Houses an inspiration for Arthur?
Did Arthur enjoy the food in Tural?
Not really a question but popping in to say I love your art and writing of Arthur, I always enjoy seeing him on the timeline!
does Arthur fear anything?
what is a part of arthur's life or lore you'd like to explore or delve into?
Oddly, his costuming! Recently I've been drawing a lot of Arthur for his comics and realised most of his outfits don't make for comfortable wears in casual scenarios so if I had more free time I'd like to properly sit down and figure out how a guy like him would move around- also do a proper breakdown of his outfits and see if there are any elements I could strip for casual clothing. I know I can always just draw him in the looser and casual outfits that xiv does has but I don't particularly like any of them for him so I'll have to come up with my own stuff haha
is arthur doing anything in the leadup to dawntrail
Does Arthur need the glasses even in DD2
My brain is too mushy right now to try asking randomly, so can I ask what are the great ideas you had for Archie after DD2?
SO MANY IDEAS! in a way dd2 reminds me of playing around in the arr/hw/early sb sandbox of xiv where the emphasis was on worldbuilding and grounding its people and systems in relation to it- one primary thing I'm prob going to rip for him is casters, their outfits and how magic work in dd2.
I'll give a very specific example: for one of his canon xiv jobs, Red Mage- in lore it's never mentioned how RDM recovers aether (as opposed to all the casters save sage, they have lore explanations for where they drew aether from after exhausting it from casting) In DD2, Sorceror (the main class I played on Azem) uses Galvanise to recover stamina, their equivalent of MP- its a cast that locks you in to standing still while you concentrate to recover stamina. So I'm going to grab that idea for Arthur where he has to lock in to recover aether but instead of using the staff as the grounding point to recover, he'll use the RDM sword 👍 Ofc that'll leave him vulnerable to attacks but honestly that' just Caster Life (TM)
Can Arthur heal on a class that isn't scholar?
Is Arthur feeling powerful at teamwork now?
Will Arthur ever consider Viper and Pictomancer canon classes?
Hmm unfortunately Viper is too cool of a class for him so probably not even though I personally love dual blades! Pictomancer is on the other side of the spectrum where its a bit too goofy for him as well despite being a caster... I'll still pick up both classes on him but def won't be added to his resume of canon classes
Will Arthur's naturals get even bigger in Dawntrail
Is fishing still key to Arthur? Also what are his thoughts on harpies?
What is your favorite NEW piece of Arthur lore?
