I believe the official size for the main five knights was seven meters.

Al took a quest to get a manual for the creation of the PC's artificial incorruptus back around chapter... I think it was somewhere around the seventies?

Alright, just checked. Al goes there in chapter 80. He doesn't spend much time there, and it took a long time after that for him to actually make the Incorruptus.

Man, that's been a while...

Incorruptus is the name of the knights? Now I feel dumb... My brain didn't make the link between Al's giant black knight form and the knight from the games, despite him having used that form not that long ago and me pointing the only thing I remembered from the game...

If I recall correctly, French was one of the three official languages contained on the game disc. I'd have to look it up but I'm not sure they were called 'Incorruptus' in that language.

Give me one second...

In Japanese, they were called 'Shinnaito' which translated rather literally as 'Sin Knight', which made sense given they were entities that came from the demon realm, even if they were not, themselves, demons.

Alright, I found a handful of written out soundbites and it refers to the entity as a 'l'Interruptus'. I think. While similar, it has a very different set of consonants within which I can easily imagine causing confusion.
 
on the subject of BB...there are A LOT of options that Al can open up to him...Werewolves, Pony's, Dragons...GodZilla...
 
Personally I think Alchemist should keep the child, would cause even more chaos. It'd be nice to see him grow up in stardew valley when alchemists goes. (I think that was what he mentioned when he said something about farming for a couple years.) Idk.
Hmmm, when is Al gunna bring Midir back to life. Of I'm remembering right he said he'd to that soon, and I think that was after bringing Gale back to life.
 
Oh man, now I want to see Alchemist bring them all to either Cyberpunk or Deus Ex so that Cyborg can get some sensation back. IIRC one of the things that Victor lost was his sense of touch on his cyber parts.

Alchemist could absolutely regenerate him back into shape. If he wants to have special augmented abilities, give him some learning materials on super-nanotech.

I actually wrote out a scene of Midir's resurrection over on Caer a while back. It didn't go over well at the time, but I have the draft saved so I can pull ideas from it on how to do the job better when I feel like I can fit it in at another opportunity.

Yeah, that would do it. It was still at a time before I started playing all my games in english, when given the possibility. Then again, even if the name had been the same, I would probably still not have linked the two: I barely remember the game and remembered the knight because of the name of the game but mainly also the box's art, can't remember the characters names nor the story. So remembering the specific name of the knights when, in all likelihood, I probably referenced them as "giant knights" in my head anyway? Not a chance...

Though, now that you went and found the French name, I'm wondering why the ones in charge of translating the game chose to replace it by that instead of keeping the original. It's (pseudo?) Latin anyway, it wouldn't have changed anything for the comprehension of the players. On the contrary, that change the image brought to mind when thinking about the knights:
  • Incorruptus makes me think about them being "incorruptible", meaning that they stay true to themselves, that no matter what obstacle their enemies place between them and their objective, the will persist and fight on until they reach their goals...
  • Interruptus, on the other hand, just bring "interrupt" to mind, meaning that... they stop? Their enemies? Themselves? Let's be kind and say it make me think of a shield (instead of a simple wall) to be in sync with the knight theme...
A big reason I switched from French to English for playing games now: more than simplifying my comprehension when reading fanfics (gave up on the French's ones years before that switch, let's just say I don't have a high opinion of authors from my neck of the woods), there was a time when 3 out of 4 translated games had story twists that came out of the left field, seemingly without warning, just because the foreshadowing had been done using expressions that had ended up being translated word for word instead of adapted...

But I'm starting to deviate more and more from the subject at hand, the story, so let's stop here.

Thanks again for the information.

would the return to YJ or the completion of this quest be a good time to revive them? A bit of time to understand the new world then A week's worth of travel time hanging out with fellow dragons to further settle down and understand what's all going on before being reunited with everyone on Infinity Island.

All while being drip fed information about the new world, technology and not needing to fight the corrupted Dark.

also I wonder what the others of infinity island are doing in their free time beyond just existing. Like for example I'm imagining Gael at some point getting a IPad and looking completely and utterly confused by it while the Painter Girl sitting on his lap is watching YouTube.

"So, what's next?" Tiffany asked as Alchemist pulled a few bags of dirt out of the inventory, along with a single seed from an ash tree.

The point of planting a Yggdrasil in the Seru-Kai is to provide some metaphysical reinforcement to the place; I get that. In time it may even serve as a bridge to the local Earth of Legaia.

But surely, surely, there is no possibility of side-effects from planting sibling World Trees on multiple disparate realms. None whatsoever. Most especially, it is completely impossible for this action to have any crossover-shaped consequences in the distant future.

Robin didn't know what to think of that. It felt... wrong. Using things that could feel, that could scream, and just using them to gather data as they suffered and died felt...

...sick.

Alchemist clearly didn't consider the goblins as being worthy of humane treatment.

The question Robin was trying to ask, but apparently did not know how: "Why are you willing to throw away the life of something that can think?"

Alchemist's answer to Robin's actual question: "Because most of what those goblins think about is killing and defiling humans. I consider their death to be a net positive."

The part that didn't go over well was the sheer abruptness of it. Al remembered that Midir existed and immediately went to resurrect the dragon that same scene. He didn't consult anyone, he didn't consider logistics, he just gathered Lorian, Artur, and possibly Gael for physical backup, teleported to Infinity Island, and resurrected Midir.

Alchemist's thought process basically went 'That was an undeserved tragedy -> I can fix this -> Fixing it!'. Which, fine. But when the victim is a heavily traumatized dragon 9 meters tall at the shoulder, maybe communicate with people and come up with a plan for having said dragon around, first?
 
I really kinda wish I had more time to go back and play white knight chronicles. I've got the one with both games and I remember having a blast with it but life always finds a way

Were the games even that good? I still have both games, so the first must have been good enough to make me buy the second. But, like I already said, the story didn't really stick in my head so I can't have liked it that much.

Compared to "The Legend of Dragoon" on PS1 (thus older, 2001 against 2010), which I finished (100%) multiple times, still remember the name of all the characters (forgot the names of the various countries though), and could easily write a light walkthrough of the entire game from memory alone. Hell, I had managed to find a way to get Kongol's (enemy that become the party "earth" character later on) Dragon Soul earlier than any of the guides I could find said it was possible to. I could even probably draw (admittedly badly) some of the screens from the game, especially the screen just before the boss giving you the anti-dragon staff. The hours I spent on that screen... A save point next to a healing spot, perfect to train all the combos, and dragoon transformations, to max level.

Then again, everyone has the right to have their own tastes. Just because the story didn't "click" with me doesn't means it was objectively bad, just not right for me...
 
... Is it bad I kinda want Alchemist to be dropped in drakenguard/nier (that dimensional cluster) and loose his Sh*t now...?

I mean, we have seen him clear up mess's like dark souls (hit the off button by ending the flame), seen him clean up FF7 and so on (up to now with the current quest). I don't think we've seen him tackle a setting that is so utterly buggered like nier is though (drakenguard, nier and automata more or less utterly bugger humanity and leave behind a hell of a mess, seeing him dropped into a post replicant timeline and have to fix everything and do through across the dimensional barrier and punch the drakenguard reality* in the face)

*which more of less destroyed humanity on earth through dropping a eldritch abomination on earth and killing it (after leveling tokyo in the process)

Yep. Hence why it got pulled overall. It was still a decent enough fight scene but it needs better build up than I wrote in at the time.

Al could probably do something about the Nier reality but Drakengard could actually prove problematic. At the least, it would probably drag out the worst in him as he has to establish himself as the biggest, most dangerous thing in the setting and that you're all going to sit down and listen or he starts beheading the problems until they sit down and listen.
 
Sometimes I stop to think about settings in which Alchemist appears and tackles their problems. In addition to that I'm falling through the rabbit hole that is Vampire the masquerade and World of Darkness.

So if Alchemist appears in Vampire the masquerade bloodline
what are the odds that he catches Cain(or adjacent) and gives the kindred the same treatment that their kinds received in YJ by his hand?
And would God deliver his wrath on the being that destroys Cain or not?

About the story I'm loving the interactions with Raven and her povs

On the side of it, growing like a fungus, was a parasite that spiderwebbed around the tree. And, at the base of the tree, siphoning the power drained by the parasite, was a very muscular redheaded man who stood about one-hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall. On his right wrist was a purple, horned arm-band with a large, glinting jewel in the center.
