Description
Day 11 - Symphonia AU Idea: AU Where the Journey of Regeneration in Sylvarant is a public spectacle

Perhaps in a Sylvarant where the people have lost faith in the Church of Martel, the Chosen's journey turns into an event that the people follow and watch like one might watch a sports game; they crowd at the seals to watch the Chosen battle to prove their worthiness as they move through the Angel transformation and the people bet on their success as they work to gain reputation so as to be supported by the people; a well-liked chosen would be treated kindly by inns and merchants, whereas a disliked Chosen might have a hard time getting by, which would heavily affect the success of their travels. The Renegade's duty would be to do anything they could to thwart the success of the Chosen as far as destroying their reputation among the people--a hated Chosen might have such a hard time that they might give up entirely, or even suicide if they aren't killed by angered citizens if they aren't by the challenges of the seals; or even a successful one might see their death early on, due to the social pressures of having their every move judged by the entire world. The Church of Martel would, meanwhile, be entirely against the idea of the journey being treated as such away, concerning the fact that it still is a journey for world regeneration, and that only a true Chosen who believes in this and in the Goddess Martel--ex. Colette--would be truly successful. The culture shock after traveling to Tethe'alla would be interesting, as well as the reverse, when the party would return back to Sylvarant.

There's all kinds of holes and gaps in the idea, as I didn't really delve into it that much; it just sort of came last-minute, haha... It was the only idea I had that I could think of a decent composition for, art-wise. -shrug-

THE GAME WOULD BE SO STRESSFUL IF THIS WAS THE CASE THOUGH, AHAHA... I probably wouldn't enjoy playing it.

Oh god, that idea. I LIKE TAHT IDEA. D:

I found your art on tumblr and decided to look through cause it's awesome (AND TALES OF SYMPHONIA) but really! that idea is truly intense!

I imagine the Chosen suicide rate to be high and success rate to be extremely low in that society.

Man, I would so read that story...

Hahaaa, that's what I was thinking, too :'D As if Sylvarant's success rate wasn't low enough already.

The game would sound more like the Hunger Games if that was the case. Interesting idea though.

This picture looks like it's a screen shot from a carton.

Wow, love the idea! I would love to watch that story play out as an animated pitch, or a webcomic, or a fanfic even. In terms of this idea though, does that mean Zelos and Colette will eventually have to fight one another? Great use of lighting, by the way.

Thanks : DD

Well, considering the Chosen doesn't have to take a Regeneration Journey through Tethe'alla, I'd think not O:Β

O . O Oh wow...what an interesting idea!!!! * 0 * It would be so heart wrenching slowly seeing the people give up on the Chosen * A * Β it would make Colette an even stronger character seeing her fight on giving it all her all... O w O I love the pose and Colette's expression is so strong and so determined! * w * This turned out so great!! and such an interesting idea too! > w < Great job!!!

Spiritua's Book was already useless, now it's just crap XD

Game-wise, it would involve more narrative branches and statistics, plus events that are triggered whenever Colette is liked or not. There should be titles, sidequests and exclusive scenes for both sides though, not just a shorter (and more difficult due to the merchants charging possible new equipment beyond the amount of money you can pay for) scenario until the Tower of Salvation. If the same happens to party members, well, then we're done for XD though I personally like the idea to vote party members out of the group if they're not liked.
Kratos would gain a sizeable fandom, specially among women, that would prevent him from being ousted out. Personally I think Genis would be the one with the most chances to be ousted because of his young age, brattiness and know-it-all attitude. Lloyd... Depends on how they react to Iselia's destruction I guess!

Though the greatest gaps would be the Desians and Cruxis... I doubt we're going to have spectators in boss fights inside Human Ranches Oo

Besides, the concept may require lots of tweaking, but the picture is beautiful *-* Specially the way Colette is coloured.

Yeah, everything would become a lot more complex xD;;;Β 

AHAHAHA YES


That was my thought xD I kept thinking of how to fit in the Human Ranches, got no ideas, and then just kinda said "eh, whatever."Β 


Thank you! ;v;

Woah! Look at Colette go!

This is a really cool picture. You've drawn her very well and her outfit is perfect

Her hair's so pretty too.

I agree. The whole idea of this is amazing! I would love to see a fic about this, if anything.

Well that'd be a rather interesting AU~ The idea of it being broadcasted to everyone reminds me of either Hunger Games or Dangan Ronpa, where the outside world would pretty much watch everyone who takes on the 'journey'. At the same time, it sounds rather sad as well... You're already burdened with the job of regenerating the world, but you also have to be a crowd pleaser as well... yikes.


I bet though Zelos and Colette would get through it easily; Zelos with his fanbase, and Colette with her super adorable kindness~


I like Colette' expression on this too! And the art in general!~ Colette putting on a brave face just to show the spectators that she's not as soft as they claim for her to be... Love it!

I wouldn't say broadcasted, but more...followed? xD I dunno.Β 

But yeah. That's what I was thinking, too 8'D Unless the traveling party they have is a part of it, too, in which case that's a whole other dynamic (ex, if they like the chosen but not their party, or the other way around, then it gets more complex... but who knows).Β 


Thanks, though! : DΒ
