What kind of aesthetic do you love in your settings? For me it has to be Japanese/Far East. Shit really gets me.

>>53374031
That's not really applicable, since Disney basically does the same genre - some would argue the same film with a different sheen of paint - over and over, whereas anime isn't one genre or made by one company.

Also, most TTRPG players in Japan would expect cartoony stuff. Almost all their pen & paper stuff has an animeish aesthetic. To them something being 'cartoony' doesn't really have the same connotations as it has here. A lot of their advertising and media is basically cartoons.

What do you want from me exactly?

I said the only Japanese fantasy aesthetics I enjoy is Berserk, and was unjustly branded an edgefag for it even though I didn't even specify whether I like it or not.

I pointed out that there are darker (or babbyedgier, I suppose) mangas out there that are nonetheless drawn in your standard plain expressive Japan style, the one I dislike. I provided a few.

Then you move the goalposts and say I should instead tell you of something little past entry level. You could've mentioned that from the start, you know? You would've even known that Berserk isn't that edgeshit by comparison to them, right? Really what was even the point of all this?

>>
>>53377432
>>53377432

I don't actually think Berserk is bad. It's still mostly good and has some simply ingenious moments (like the Lucine saga).

Problem is: it is stilly perfectly right to laugh at its bad moments, 'cause they're pretty bad.

Examples of better writing in manga abound, and yes, even in fantasy (I dunno, Witches by Igarashi, out of my mind).

There's something about rain or a setting where rain is a common almost every day event that invokes deep emotion in me. It bring back alot of memories and I always like to use rain sound effects when shit gets real.

Even when i ask each player 10 questions about their character, I always include
"(character name) is caught in the rain, what is their reaction?"

Not really aesthetic I'm sure, but i fee like it can become an important staple to the general image.

My absolute favorite aesthetic to sprinkle into my games is a very saturated Rococo-French, specifically for high elves.

Nothing provides a better backdrop for the inhumane cruelty of the fae than decadent layers of pastels colors, lace, and porcelain. Perfect, perfumed elves that shape their chateaus and wigs like cakes, drowning each other in the blood of servants

I don't have a name for it.

Core elements:
>Main colors are dull, dark, and faded, predominantly blacks, greys, browns, and reds
>Highlight colors (like eyes, items, clothing trim/buttons, insignias, blood) are bright and contrast heavily with clothes and the environment
>Gritty, rugged, and battle-worn European design, weapons and armor are realistic but more dark, washed-out, and damaged than they should be
>Warriors wear a lot more decorations (tattoos, dyes, fabric, stylized armor pieces, symbols/insignias)
>Everything is pretty worn out including people, warriors are covered in scars (a setting-specific extension of this are hydras, organisms that can live in human blood and give them regenerative abilities, however heavily scarring and discoloring the user, eventually turning them into a scar golem)
>Magic is dark and edgy, science is entwined with magic and mysticism

Pic related is the most flashy and magical something can get, but when you reach this level of magic, there are clear downsides. This is a red mithril sword. Mithril is an infusion of steel, silver, and alchemical materials, which is then coated with extremely rare magical oils to protect it (without regular touchups, the blade will corrupt and go to waste). Red mithril in specific uses an oil containing crushed ebony, which releases severe heat when it consumes blood. The blade can be used to create scalding burns, but it can easily burn you too, and its user will have burns and discolorations. Plus it isn't much better than the regular sword, in fact it's worse. People use them because they are cool and convey enigma, wealth, and ability. Magic tends to work like this, people mostly do it to be cool.

Dissolution. Specifically, the western/european aesthetic with dissolution applied. I'd certainly be interested in seeing a more eastern version, though.

Really, I just think there's a sort of beauty to seeing a world in it's twilight years, after all the great kingdoms have fallen and all the great heroes have finished fighting their battles and died in anonymity. Once mighty castles crumbling in disrepair, once honoured monuments being reclaimed by nature, but even nature has grown sickly. People wandering, listless, wondering what to make of a world on the brink, grasping for purpose because that's all there is left to do. A world dying not with fire, but with a long, drawn out sigh.

It might be a little sad, but I think there's a lot of artistic merit to such melancholy.

This is why Dark Souls and Hollow Knight are two of my favorite settings. However, the thing I like most is big, flavorful worlds. It's not enough for me to explore these worlds and wonder what happened, I'm inclined to study them. To learn who these heroes were and why these empires fell to ruin. Maybe it's just my inner archaeologist speaking to me.

japan loves DnD tropes
the entire final fantasy series was built on stuff borrowed from DnD, only with the later installments did they break away from their DnD roots, but FF9 did incredibly well in japan as a deliberate throwback to the original medieval fantasy roots

they love castles and knights and wizards since it seems so exotic, and at one point they thought the name "Tina" was an outlandish name fit for a protag

>>but FF9 did incredibly well in japan as a deliberate throwback to the original medieval fantasy roots
>i have never seen such wrong fucking """facts""" in my life

It did 5.3 million units in Japan, which is pretty incredible considering it's release and the games it followed.

>>the entire final fantasy series was built on stuff borrowed from DnD
Don't know why you complained about this, it's true, DnD was a big influence on it originally.

Have you PLAYED FF1? It's instantly obvious that it has its roots in D&D, between the Vancian spellcasting, Fighter and Monk classes, and classically D&D monsters like the Lich.

Provides a few good points, but the best is:
>Magic System: Furthermore, original NES Final Fantasy tortured its players with a magic system straight from D&D: magic users learned spells which were consumed like ammunition when cast, and could not be cast again until one returned to an inn/tent to rest for the night. The Dawn of Souls / Origins / 20th anniversary remasters replaced the obsolete magic system of 1st ed D&D with Final Fantasy’s in-house MP system, making the game much easier.

>But... but I don't like those sources
Tough, cause they aren't wrong.

I love huge globetrotting fantasy campaigns with fantasy versions of every culture

tina brandford was the protag of the sixth game, tina was chosensince it sounded exotic to japs, and it had to be changed to terra in the west

You do realize it took those things from Dragon Quest, not D&D right? D&D isn't even that popular in Japan to begin with. Jesus Christ.

You are just plain wrong you retard.

>implying citation is needed
The system of stats, savings throws, and gold (gil) as currency was almost totally lifted with a few changes here and there.
In the first three WM can use Hammers and Maces as well as staves, like the classic DnD Cleric.
The entire enemy roster of the first FF can be found in DnD's Monster Manual with a few names changed. Most notable are Bahamut and Tiamat as good and evil dragons, respectively.

>>53382571
But that just means that FF took stuff from DQ, not from D&D
>>53382558
Yes, because that stuff came from western fantasy fiction and DQ, not D&D

'True' Apocalyptic makes my dick get hard; I don't mean 'nature is coming back' or 'human civilization is knocked back to the iron ages' or anything like that, I mean a genuine 'the world is going to end in mebbe a week, bitches' situation.

Or is that more of a setting than a aesthetic?

This. Record of Lodoss War was originally literally a light novelization of some dude's AD&D campaign.

There's an immortal director trying to film the last great film on Earth and terrible things being done in the name of getting a Star Wars sequel. I think it's safe to say Fire Punch is black comedy.

Wildly weird but internally consistent, I guess. The sort of setting where you can have magic-powered submarines and sky-whales and lightning elementals running in metaphysical hamster wheels to generate power for giant teleporters, and it all feels like an alien world rather than a haphazardly dreamed-up one.
