Rune factory 6 speculation

With RF6 & RFPD being announced I thought I would do some speculation and analysis for the two games.

This one will be just for RF6 with another for PD coming out later, as there is more material to dissect and I have a lot more speculation and theories for that game

Most of this one is rambling and speculation so not much of this will come true... Probably.

The floating city.

This floating city I'm talking about and I think it will be our home in some way shape or form. As in the logos from the previous games, the protagonist house has been symbolised in it.

In rf3, the 3 in the logo is decorated with flowers. This can either be in relation to the town rf3 is based around, Sharance, a flower dominated town. Or the fact that by the end of the game, the Sharance tree is in bloom with flowers.

In rf4, it has a green dragon in the logo, and ventuswill, a green elder dragon, can be found outside of Lest/Frey's room.

In rf5 the SEED logo can be seen on the logo, And Ares/Alice bedroom is above the seed HQ.

So with this in mind, I want to weigher that the sky city / island is where the rf6 protag will be staying. Or that it's the main local of the game. Which is probably more likely.

(side note, this has nothing to do with all of this speculation, but personally the floating city is reminding me of the final fantasy logos, especially ff13's.)

The architecture

On the main building with the halo on it, it has these odd patterns on it.

For me, these remind me of fairy wings. Which is a bit odd for rf standards. As fairies aren't a common race and but are a type of enemy (the common fairy monsters and Ambrosia to name a few) . Perhaps this is supposed to maybe be more for the eleven race?

Though this new rf game will be based in a new continent called Ardonia, so maybe fairies are seen as a race such as dwarfs there? What new races will be introduced in this new continent?

In the video, it's stated that this is the architecture for Ardonia. Which seems to say that Ardonia has biomimicry in most of its architecture. But also it's oddly... Modern, reminding myself of ff again.

What's your thoughts on this?

Also what IS that halo?

Halo / Ring

When I see it I personally think "rune energy", perhaps this game will be more nature themed than the two previous games which had some more "high tech" elements of them. With the wing shaped elements of the building and the "rune energy" (or magic) halo, this is the turn that I think this game will be giving.

Maybe more details will go into what EXACTLY earthmaes are? Perhaps earthmaes are more common in Ardonia?

Though perhaps, it may go in the other direction and Ardonia is more high tech than Norad. Tanks, floating cities, airblimps are well known to the rune factory series so perhaps it's going in a much more modern direction. (More Innocent Life than Rune Factory ig)

Though who knows, again let me know your thoughts and theories! Either as a ask, reblog, comment, DM etc.

6

The six looks like water rippling obviously so maybe it's set in a port town? Or we are living right in the middle of the ocean maybe? It's giving me some RFO vibes personally.

The pattern on the right hand side of the 6 reminds me personally of scales, which reminds me of one thing. Aquaticus, the elder dragon of water and transformation. Though this is a new region we are based in so it's unknown how the elder dragons are perceived there. If Aquaticus is important to this game, perhaps the protag will be able to transform, probably not as majorly as Micah but more of a quick and small anime magic girl esc. transformation.

I can't figure out the pattern on the right hand side of the 6 though it reminds me personally of a horn.

And that's all I have for now, let me know your thoughts! I'll do this again for project dragon soon.

(most of my speculations are probably wrong though lol, as we currently only have a logo to go off of. It's like putting the subtitle of a dragon quest game or the logo for a final fantasy gave and just saying good luck guessing.)

[darkacey]

I'm curious about a bunch of these so I'll just ask the bunch together:

Whose ur favorite bachelorette(s), non romanceable chara, monster, non-mc otp and a headcanon you have?

Oh boy this is gonna be a doozy of an answer lol

Fav bachelorette — I’m super gay for (most of) the guys, so honestly none of the bachelorettes appealed to me as marriage candidates. That said, I really identify with Lucy’s whole arc and feeling disproportionately responsible for my loved ones. I especially like when these characters actually get a chance to take care of themselves. Sure, I don’t exactly like the way RF5 goes about it (the forced truth mirror was kind of heavy handed and took away her agency…), but everything else was nice. My runner ups are Beatrice and Scarlett. Bea is just a sweetheart, I have nothing bad to say about her. As for Scarlett, well, I got attached to her because she became such an important supporting character in my fic. I didn’t intend for her to be the closest thing Ari has to a best friend, but she surprised me.

Fav non-romanceable character — Heinz, hands down. That goofball has a terrible first impression in-game and he’s really done dirty by only being characterized by his ineptitude and lazy attitude, but man, I’ve gotten so attached to him because of his role in my fic. I was really able to develop his backstory and personality into exactly what I wanted since there was so much room for reinterpretation. Before I started this fic, though, I probably would have said Terry or Misasagi. Both of them have good heads on their shoulders, and I like the mysteries they represent.

Fav monster — Chipsqueek! Those little red squirrels are the cutest dang thing on the planet. They’re kind of useless as a battle companion, but I like bringing them around with me just because anyway. Also, in every RF game I’ve played (Frontier, rf5, and currently rf3 special), I’ve named the first one I’ve caught Poppy.

Non-MC otp — I’m a multishipper, so I won’t say there’s only one way I like characters to be shipped. That said, I’m particularly fond of Cecil/Fuuka (thank you Aashi for selling me on them!) and Martin/Ryker. For other pairings, I think Lucy/Priscilla is cute, but I’d be really interested to see Priscilla/Reinhard (Priscilla gets to live out her princess dreams) and Lucy/Murakumo (competitive bleeding heart plus the expert judge of games). Outside my fic, I also love Lucas/Terry (courtesy of @kardia-library-official for introducing me to the idea).

A headcanon — oof I have so many at this point, it’s hard for me to remember what’s actually canon and what’s stuff I’ve dumped into all of its plot holes. I think a big one for worldbuilding is that I named the town that’s near Rigbarth (the one that Ryker goes to when he steals that crown). It’s called Fenarva, which is sort of a portmanteau based on the names of all of the other villages/towns of Norad. I imagine Fenarva is closer in size to a city, and it has ports for regular ships and airships. They get travelers from the mainland, Isle of Elves (this also needs a name), the Eastern Continent (gods please Marvelous give us an actual name for this country when Project Dragon is released), and Fenith Island. Most of the tourists who visit Rigbarth come from Fenarva, too, since it’s only about half a day’s trip to get from one town to the other (well, travel takes longer now because of the recent increase in monster attacks…). Rigbarth’s economy really relies on these folks and the people from the other side of the Gadeus Grasslands too (still need to put another town over there too). Also, for everybody else writing fics based on RF5, y’all are free to use Fenarva, too.

I have other, more interesting headcanons especially about gods in general and what sort of god Lucas is, but a lot of it gets into spoiler territory. Unfortunately for all of us, however, I have yet to figure out how to work in these things into my fic. It’ll come up eventually, somehow, but probably not until late Act II or somewhere in Act III. I hope y’all can bear with me until then.

Description: They were the Tiger FACs, the forward air controllers who flew fast-moving F-4E Phantoms over the deadly skies of Laos and North Vietnam in an air war that history forgot to mention. These are their stories, in their own words, of missions in AAA-filled skies with supersonic angels as their wingmen. They challenged the enemy down in the weeds, eyeball-to-eyeball; cutting the supply lines that plunged through the mountains and karst formations of Laos on their way to South Vietnam. The mission required flying sorties up to six hours long with four to six air-to-air refuelings. It demanded extraordinary teamwork and bravery, and this small group of men paid the price, suffering up to eighty percent of the combat damage of a seventy-two aircraft wing. Their stories are often irreverent and far from today's political correctness, yet they are filled with the reality of war. "The Tiger FACs" will take you back to experience the days and nights of these fighter crews at Korat Air Base in Thailand. It is a recantation of the life and times of the men who chose to fly and fight, and while you won't experience battle damage, you will feel what they lived, and know, without doubt, that you are on their wing.

Rune Factory 5 impressions

(I think I’m about halfway through the story atm. I have a few characters I still haven’t unlocked.)

General Feel

The overall vibe is exactly what you would expect from an RF game, which is great. The town atmosphere and characters all have a comfy, kinda nostalgic RF feel to them and in terms of the general story and character writing, it feels like the developers could have started in on this project the day they finished RF4, for how on-point they are at recapturing the overall spirit of the series.

Dungeons

I have yet to encounter a gimmick as annoying as the rooms that burn you whenever you stand in them. Which honestly is the only thing I was really hoping for. Otherwise, there’s a few hazards but that’s the worst of it. Crop plots in-dungeon still not returning. I think those haven’t been seen since RF3 now?

Visually, the overall designs are alright. I feel like they’re not as interesting looking as the 2D painted dungeons from the handheld games, but they’re certainly more creative looking than ToD. I would have really loved if they redid the dungeon setup from Frontier where you had a spike in difficulty between each dungeon floor, and it made progress slow as you had to take time to improve with each level before you could reach the next one, But that’s something that they didn’t really do again since Frontier, except for the endgame bonus dungeon in RF4, so I wasn’t holding my breath to see that return here.

Farming

Go to settings and tell the game not to automatically change your camera angle whenever you step into a field.

Basically it’s RF4 farming. A lot of the quests on the quest board even re-teach you the same mechanics added in RF4. (Which, tbf, I forgot some of them. It’s been a while.) I think there’s an extra feature now where the day you harvest can effect the size of your harvest, but I’m too impatient to hold off on harvesting so I haven’t tried it.

The additional farms being unlocked through story progression is fine, but I honestly would have preferred they kept it as plots you can find in the wild. Or bring back in-dungeon fields! Teleporting onto the backs of dragons to reach my additional plots gives me PTSD flashbacks to ToD, even if the farming is otherwise fine. I guess this is so you’re not building monster barns in areas where monsters spawn, and it’s really a personal taste nitpick, but it’s still something I’m not wild about.

Combat

Seems pretty solid. I mostly like the lock-on feature except that it’s sometimes a pain to switch to my intended target when a lot of enemies are all moving around. Ghost monsters that disappear and reappear are once again my most hated monster because of how they can circumvent the auto-lock, but it’s not a real combat flaw so much as something that makes it harder to coast. (It definitely beats encountering them in RF2.)

That being said, picking up items is kind of annoying? Like, more so than I remember it having been in previous games. You can usually auto pick up fallen items by running over them, but where you’re auto-picking up or doing it manually, I feel like the items have way too small a hit box. (I do appreciate that they sparkle tho. I would miss most of the green herbs if they didn’t do that.)

Crafting

Same as in RF4. Right down to upgrading using garbage items being the easiest way to grind your crafting level. Except I think they made it easier? I don’t remember weeds being a viable reinforcement item in RF4.

Romance

Basically it’s RF4, but triggering events is way less annoying because instead of it being totally random, you get a marker on your map whenever you meet the criteria for an even to play out, and can go to the location in question and activate the event whenever you’re ready.

I think the final portion of the first event with Martin progressed me to the next day without restoring my RP tho? There’s a cheap exploit to restore RP without any in-game time passing that only costs some of your Switch battery, but I was still kinda miffed.

Visuals

I see complaints about frame-rates, but honestly I don’t notice stuff like that unless a game really lags, and mine hasn’t. Besides, the dev team would have to try to make the game run worse than RF2 did whenever an elemental ghost was on your screen.

The character designs, portraits, item/character/monster models, and most outfits are all fine. (I’m not wild about the two-tone hair on some of the cast, but that’s a personal taste thing.) I just... feel a little let down with the actual world. It feels less visually interesting than the other games. Aside from maybe RF4 (since I haven’t unlocked every location yet) it’s a larger world than the other series. It’s absolutely larger than Frontier, so I get that they might not have as much time to add as many details when there was more space to give detail to, but the town feels a little too spread out, with too little visual detail to fill that space. There are portions of the world, mostly distinct highlights of the out-or-dungeon areas where you can encounter monsters, that really pop, but a lot of the setting feels bland.

The inside of houses is the same. There are times when I look around and think “did they just re-use this asset?” when I would have liked to see them vary things more to add some personal character. I’d have to go back and look at the older games to see how varied the buildings were in older games, but something about the amount of space inside these buildings and the graphics used just makes it feel like they could have taken it further than they did.

(I like the Atohl design tho. Going between caves and this eerie abandon city was such a vibe and I want more backstory on what happened there. Gimme another notebook where a man went mad writing in his own blood.)

Misc

I want to jump! They let us jump in ToD! I had little shortcuts I’d take around the main island that involved jumping! I keep encountering spots where I think “Jump to progress” and there’s no way to jump! It’s not like it was in any other game outside of ToD but something about this game makes me feel like it ought to be an option when it’s not!

Overall

Solid enjoyable experience so far. On track to be one of the better games in the series. My only major gripes are the visuals for the setting feeling underwhelming and the hit box size for when trying to pick up items.

22 In 2022

Rules! Choose 22 books you want to read or goals you want to achieve in  2022. That’s it! It can be a mix of books and goals, or 22 books, or 22 goals…. it’s up to you. Then tag some friends to play along!

I was tagged by @agardenandlibrary and @bigcats-birds-and-books

The Ikessar Falcon by KS Villoso, as well as The Dragon of Jin-Sayeng but with my track record for finishing series I understand that's a stretch goal lol

The Burning God by RF Kuang, maybe I'm cheating because this is my next read of maybe I'm setting myself up for success

Steelstriker by Marie Lu, I was supposed to read this in December but life and crochet projects got in the way

Middlegame by Seanan McGuire, I did start this in October I think? But it needed more brain power than I had to give

Son of the Storm by Suyi Davies Okungbowa, this was in my stack of books to read before 2022 that I then ignored for six months

Little Thieves by Margaret Owen, the only reason I've yet to read this is because of who I am as a person and also I really love her writing and I won't have anything new of hers to read

The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri, another from my read before 2022 pile

The Liars Knot by MA Carrick, I must know what my bastard of a son Vargo is up to

Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir is it out yet? No. Do we have a release date? Actually goodreads says September but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I DON'T CARE, I WANT TO MEET NONA

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, it's been intimidating me since I bought it and it's finally time for me to attempt to read it or put it in the donation bin

more general book goals is to get through my "read before donating" stack thats still hanging around and taking up desk space. It does NOT spark joy and I want it gone

Breath of the Wild, yes I intended to play this while recovering from surgery but it just? Never happened??

Witcher: Blood and Wine, I've been putting this off because it's all that's left and I'm not ready to say goodbye and not have more witcher game to experience for the first time

SKYRIM! I want to play Skyrim! Unfortunately I only have it on switch, so I have to play unmodded, which everyone says is Bad?? dunno I want to be a cat person

Love Live! (anime), most definitely want to finish watching this series at least through Sunshine. The mobile game looks like its on its way out, so I want to get to the anime before its even more difficult to get a hold of

I have all the makings for a pride themed blanket that I want to at least start this year

I want to get into resin crafting, I have a bunch of fun ideas! Not sure how feasible this one is tbh considering price and need for a clean ventilated space

Oh! I want to crochet a net and hang on from my ceiling for all my stuffed animals lol I decided last year not to feel guilty or ashamed for the things that make me happy, like stuffed animals!

I think. This will be the year. I finally attempt to make croissants. I've been putting it off because croissant pastry dough is notoriously difficult to get right and if you screw it up there's no fixing it, and it's a LOT of work and I've been in pain lol but I want to try! Love those crispy crescents!!

I want to limit the books I buy, and if I do buy a book I either want it to be a book I've already read and want to keep as a friend, or read it within three months of acquiring it (I'm being generous I know me I won't read them right away lmao)

I have such a back log of puzzles that I need to do

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

this was as difficult as I feared thank u. I know by know making health goals is useless because health is uncontrollable. If this is the year I get a functioning computer, I'd also like to write Actual Reviews again and make more original content for this blog. I do really miss writing reviews!

I've lost track of who has done this already so if you want to do this here is me tagging you!

I figured I’d share the art where my header image + icons came from! Know that there’s no art theft, as I drew them :)

As is said in my header, my DeviantART account is ShadowCatsKey (I don’t have an art tumblr anymore though, don’t draw fast enough to keep one going) and on there you can still find my (now older) Rune Factory inspired fanart.

The top image was a personal headcanon appearance for Terrable. This very different, skin-wrapped dragon/t-rex design came about when I tried to draw Terrable from memory during a power outage. Personally, I still love the look, so any future art of Terrable I do will likely look something similar, just, maybe less skinwrapped nowadays xD

The other four images are from a project I’d started where I drew each game’s final boss with icons of the smaller cave/dungeon bosses. I did RF 1, 2, 3 and Frontier- but at that time, I hadn’t beaten 4 or Tides, so the project was never finished. I’ve also changed art tablets, pcs, and art programs since then. You can see I did my own twist on Fiersome as well, while I left Aquaticus and Gelwin pretty much alone.

I love the look of these older images, especially how I drew the cave bosses below the final bosses, so I’m hesitant to redo them. But hey! Even if the new ones don’t turn out as charming, I think this is a fun series I’ll redo at some point.

More musings on that damn vault in Artaeum

My bias in favor of practical/benign necromancy is clouding my reading of these scenes. Vanus's moral outrage is annoying me and keeping me from seeing his character clearly.

These scenes seem set up to show Mannimarco as a novice/student just as much as Vanus is. So the 900+-year age difference doesn’t matter? Non-traditional student lol. Or these quest writers shied away from the kirkbride version of Manni and intentionally made Mannimarco and Vanus similar ages. Or their Altmer/Psijic eqivalants. But I like the kirkbride version, so meh.

They also imply that Mannimarco discovered necromancy sometime around the opening of the vault? His 'this will be perfect' comment. Seems kind of weird that he managed to go 900 years without stumbling into it until now. Of course that’s assuming that dragon break book is actually saying he's 900 years old in the first place.

I like the idea of him being truthful in his note about being born on Artaeum, so that’s in the way too. These scenes were written after the MQ and his note, so they may or may not be contradicting that on purpose.

All these scenes are in Mannimarco's point of view. In each one, it's always Vanus who walks away. We only hear Mannimarco speak alone, not Vanus. The thing we are using to view the scenes is called the Eye of Remembrance.

Duh, these are Mannimarco's actual memories! They are shown as 3d projections, but everything we see is how Mannimarco must have seen these exchanges. Hell, Vanus could have said a ton of other stuff, but this is all he heard - or all that recording device managed to pick up. No technology is perfect. Or tamper-proof. Half-formed understandings lol.

Run: Mannimarco uses these stone things as a garden-variety note-taking device. Vanus probably does too, unless he has that eidetic memory thing of course. It’s said in other books that Altmer generally have insanely good memories too, so maybe Mannimarco has not that great a memory?  Crap, Tamriel-style learning disability accommodations! For Mannimarco? Come on! But why not, he's people too.

So Mannimarco uses this thing to record his work sessions and forgets to turn it off while he and Vanus fight. The pedestals are either just gameplay or some kind of docking stations for the eye. Maybe the eye is keyed to a specific person and the bases pick up the memories RF style of whoever is in the room at the time. The eye is a smart key lol. Damn I'd kill to see Vanus's. But if he had one, he'd probably be smart enough to take it with him or destroy it. Anyway, it’s in the vault of Moawita because it's Mannimarco's of course. Probably among his personal effects left from getting catapulted off Artaeum. Or else it was confiscated as evidence against him for his banishment. Hell, maybe Vanus was the one to give it to them in the first place. Yet another meaning for the "traitor" in 'Traitor's Vault'.

OH AND for the other ask thing, mayhaps 🎯 🔭 🎞 🥐 and 💌? this is also quite a few hgjkghd if u don't wanna do them all that's fine!!!! i hope u can find a moment of relaxation tonight

it’s no worries!! i’m really appreciative of these because my sister and her fiance are talking about me flying home in the other room and i am truly tryna be like ⬇️ thank you for the kind wishes man… you already know this but ilysm ; J ;

the rest of this gets really long, so i’m gonna put this under a readmore!

🎯 if you could gain any skill instantly, what would it be?

broo this question is like a callout post… i have a list of skills i’ve been meaning to learn since at least august of 2018 that has regretfully gone untouched + unloved.. I would say, either the ability to speak spanish or ASL? or maybe how to hand embroider, or to do calligraphy? (fun fact: i bought a quill at last year’s ren faire, mostly as a prop for the game of whodunnit we do every day + I was going to learn to use it properly but it’s sat in my RF tub since november.. la tragedie) i’m really godawful at cooking and i don’t know how to bake, so maybe i should prioritize those..i desperately dream of baking loaves of bread for my friends and family, wrapping them in twine + writing kind notes, and hand-delivering them.. uGH ;J;

🔭 what’s your go-to topic to learn about when you’re bored?

it really depends on what i’m into! most of the time, i love deep-diving and learning the weird ins-and-outs of the lore of whatever i’m really into! my brother can testify for me staying up all night on the dragon ball wiki trying to make heads or tails of the different timelines.. August-November, though, i love learning about handicrafts! i have an entire playlist on youtube dedicated to leatherworking, bookbinding, woodburning, + other funky crafts that i’ll hopefully one day delve into so that Corylana can evolve from Ditsy invader zim-kinning elf to a tru Explorer of the Woods who has seen shit + lived to tell the tale! c:

🎟 what are some artists/bands whose music brings back childhood memories for you?

i’m such an audiophile so this question, i think, is probably the loveliest one to be asked ^ ^ a really important thing to understand about this answer is that i spent the latter half of my formative years locked up in a house all day w/ 2008 internet as my primary source of entertainment. 

most of my childhood is tied up in songs as opposed to bands. my sister and i were really Addicted to yugioh amvs, so we listened to a ton of alt rock bc that’s what all the amvs were set to? the most iconic one was this joey x mai amv from like 2008 that i am SO glad still exists.. he is everything you want Stays one of my favorite songs solely bc of polarshipping (this is a Lie that song SLAPS)  chasing cars, eclipse of the heart, iris, you and me, and hfhsh remember the name were really Crucial songs ;v; i was also ObSESSED w britney although my mom hates her + i vividly remember that they used to play hips don’t lie Every Single Time we went to eat at buffalo wild wings, so it became another obsession. my mom really loved ymca so we listened to that all the time, too c:

also FUCK my sister brought this up… the first 3 seconds of untouched by the veronicas sets off my fight or flight response because SO many people used it for their iconic 2008-2010 “xyz productions” title cards, FUCK.

things changed once we moved back to north carolina (read: my sister and i became mortal enemies?) i’m about to oust myself but vocaloid was such a huge part of my childhood (it’s also why i joined choir at all, which is hilarious considering that’s basically the rest of my life lol) i enjoyed a TON of different artists, but i remember for a fact that i was obsessed with wowaka, deco*27 (egomama and aimai elegy were particular faves) (ALSO TWO BREATHS WALKING + LOVE DISTANCE LONG AFFAIR WAIT.. WAIT…. OMG), and jin (ms. kagerou project....

on a mildly unrelated note (does hs count as one’s childhood? hm), disney’s candlelight processional brings back so many warm memories from high school! although I cannot fuck with the hallelujah chorus, even 2 years after graduation, because it brings me back to the first time I performed it + my throat locked up on stage and i couldn’t breathe consistently for like 4 minutes! ; J ; i vividly remember debating whether or not i could make it through the song w/o passing out or sitting down (if you sat down to be carried out during the performance, you didn’t receive your complimentary tickets bc you didn’t perform the whole show. My dilemma was that Hallelujah is the final song of the show + i had powerhoused through every song before it)

🥐 what food is your go-to when you want something easy to make/prepare?

in moments of dire hunger, my brother and i always resort to ramen with broccoli! ramen is a1 on its own but there’s something about the broccoli that truly elevates it.. idk. i cannot wait for when i have more time to cook + look back on this answer and cackle at my lack of cooking skills ;v;

💌 what’s something you love about the last friend/family member you texted?

the last person i texted was my brother ben! and bro where the fuck do i even Begin with benji, oh my god.. he and i have been through the trials and tribulations of childhood alliance + betrayal, we’ve walked through the fires of hell + lived to tell the tale of it to our mom even though we both agreed we wouldn’t snitch.. benji is a legend

I feel the same way about ben that you do about lj! we’re almost always on the same wavelength about stuff, and i feel like i can talk to him about genuinely anything c: we swing wildly between being Literally Incoherent and manic to being very real and sometimes philosophical and it is always yeehaw Times. one of the things i appreciate most about ben is that he’s SUCH a good sounding board for ideas- i always bounce my new concepts off of him and he almost always has something interesting to add or consider. sergio, and most of my other aus, would deadass Not Exist without ben’s inputs c:

#long post #ruth you are such a blessing bc the second question got me to drag my sister + brother-in-law outta their airport talk and we spent a frfr #somehow they're still on youtube w/ no problem despite featuring full-length songs?? #2008 youtube is Indomitable #anyhow i feel much much better after answering these..thank you so much! you always make my day better and ily bro ;J; #sriracha ask game #fullmetal-the-last-alchemist
