>A fantasy Kingdom that has both Japanese and European elements.

You've sorted yourself here OP, like they're from a Souls game.

African, just to throw your players for a loop. You're already combining cultural elements in ways they never happened in history, have fun with it.

Like much stuff from the mid 16th century, shortly after the Portugese arrived. Like this armour.

Zelda games are a subtle combination of western and eastern themes. Majoras mask comes to mind with it's chinese influence.

So... Cyrodiil (or at leas the cyrodiil we were supposed to get) >>45116955 only populated by Redguards (who are Japanese black people.)

So... what Kalpa is this and when can I play it?

Are the thalmor gone?

>>45116926

By elements, are we talking about a bunch of things jammed into the setting without alteration from the real world, or a bunch of things just being used as general inspiration?

Because if it's the former, then do whatever. It's already lazy worldbuilding so it doesn't matter what you do.

If it's the latter though, then what >>45116955 says sounds cool. Negroid, Polynesian, South Asian, anything - there's lots to choose from. If you've already picked a climate then go with what makes most sense from that perspective though.

>>45116926
Schoolgirls with big breasts and school boys who are short and skinny but are amazing in a fight

>Ideas how the humans should look like?

You literally just posted it, rip straight from the Old Iron King and there you go.

>This is a normal knight, only with a Katana.

Fighting style is also pretty Japanese inspired. They'll step back in combat sheath their swords and do an iaijutsu strike. There's a boss who is the leader of the order exaggerates the style even further and if you kill him without taking damage has an alternate death animation where he commits seppukku.

Pretty clearly a mix if you know the source material.

>>45119652

He's also got one of the coolest themes in the game.

Wheel of Time mixes a fair amount of Western and Eastern influences. You may want to look into it.

Pretty much this.

>>45116926
Do you mean arms and equipment elements, or societal elements? There's a pretty solid difference.

For what it's worth, Elder Scrolls does the first a bit with the Akaviri. It's not as obvious by Oblivion, but in Morrowind you had katana, wakizashi, and shuriken. No out-and-out yari or yumi, and no armor inspired by not!Japan though.

Sir Alonne is an excellent fight if you bother to lock-on.

I was just relieved that it wasn't the same level of rape train Fume Knight was for me.

>>45120176

Fume Knight's just stupid, he's one of those enemies you really need to get into a rhythm for, but until his second stage the filthy bastard *has* no rhythm.

He's manageable if you're cautious with your hits and bring 99 lifegems, though.

>>45120176
Fume knight is
>do you have good ADP
and
>are you patient
He and smelter raped me violently into the ground the first few times but by now they're some of the only bosses I can beat reliably without tanking a single hit.

>>45119688
looks nice, but man, after getting used to Bloodborne pace, the souls fights feel slow comparatively

>>45116926
I've done something with the local Westeros knockoff I've got in my setting, as they're sitting nearby a haunted Japan ripoff. Mostly they look like fair-haired Kazakhs with a little more english in them than Japanese.

>>45120217
>>45120277
I think a lot of the difficulty for me was that I was doing it on a greatsword build and refused to change to a faster weapon which made the timing on hitting his openings really really tight.

>>45120316
I know. I used to thing I liked DS2 but after playing bloodborne I feel like I've been living a lie. Things like rally and the speedy sidesteps just really get the adrenaline pumping. Even though I beat him on my first try (I was crazy overleveled) Gherman is one of the most fun fights I've had yet.

>>45116926

Look at real places where Japanese and European elements do mix.

Consider Taiwan, for instance.
Originally populated by the Austronesian aborigines, then settled by adventurous Han Chinese in the 13th century. Europeans established colonies in the 17th century, then the Japanese took over in the 1800's.

I've actually been brainstorming my own fantasy setting where the humans are basically Maori in a fantasy version of Polynesia/Australia/New Zealand but with cultural and technological borrowings from the setting's Japanese and European analogues.

>>45120535
>Look at real places where Japanese and European elements do mix.

Like Japan?

>>45116926
The Japanese part used to be a former kingdom. Due to garbage technology, they were completely annihilated in a war by the European party and reduced to a servant class. Lords will often host death matches between domesticated Samurai, laughing as the two hopelessly bash cutting weapons against their armor in the dueling pits.

>>45120783

Hong Kong wold be a good one.

A perfect inspiration for a city that stradles the East and West and blends it all together so you have your !Europeans going to eat sushi from a guy who's named Itchy by the local westerns although his name is actually Ichimaru who was the son of a General who fled saving his mother and siblings after his father was betrayed and wishes to avenge him.

Vodka golems pls go

Now I want to make a setting where one half of the planet is fantasy Japan and the other half is fantasy Europe (a little bit like Tenra War) except the campaign focuses on places in the middle; fantasy Taiwan, fantasy Hong Kong, and fantasy Russia.

Not good enough, we got killing krauts and still had energy to dance afterwards.

If the prevailing armor is steel mail or plate, a katana would be near useless.

>>45122345

>a katana would be near useless.

On a battlefield, sure, but no one goes around in full plate at all time. The katana would still be a perfectly valid side weapon.

>>45122345
The king of that army was a huge weeb. A knight from the east rocked up and the king made him his second in command, which I guess led to all his knights rocking katanas. He's got an army of regular knights at his home tower, not to mention iron golem dudes.
The katana knight army's main threat was mindless undead, which the katanas would have been fine for. It wasn't until the king turned into a dragon demon that the knights turned undead and the katanas would have been useless.

>>45122679
Also it's not exactly like the game holds to realistic weapon physics, that shit hurts through armor just fine.
