HOLY :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: !!! WHAT THE HELL!?!

I'm talking in particular to those who are paying attention to the Eastering Eclipse RP going on in the battlefield right now! @_@

SERIOUSLY.
WHAT THE HELL, PEOPLE?!?

I didn't even start playing Dark Dawn until a few DAYS ago! Is it coincidence that I moved into Luna *and* began calling myself "The Eastering Eclipse" around the same time DD was released in North America? *points to the in-game parallel*
If that wasn't enough, the battlefield RP takes place amidst a "dark dawn." It's true that I was making a reference to this game's secondary title, but O_______o.
I swear I had no idea it was referring to an ECLIPSE phenomenon of all things! There is no mention of a Luna Tower in the battlefield RP, but my character is using the natural phenomena as symbolism of his new self - the Westering Sun having been eclipsed by Luna - and as well as an aid to overthrow the SOL Clan.
I just got past that event in the game meaning there might be MORE parallels on the way!!!

. . . . .

I've been avoiding the DD forum here because lolspoilers, but I just wanted to drop in my reactions here. >__> Will update when I'm finished with the game.

You won't believe how many times I conjured up an O_____o within the past few hours. It started before the tower arose when I read a glyph in the ruins speaking of Luna blocking Sol and an "eclipse." Then I heard the building was being called the LUNA / ECLIPSE Tower! When Kraden said "Luna will blot out Sol entirely," it all took to another level. When I saw the Sun rising in the dark dawn to be obstructed by the Moon, the meter broke. ;PPP Me witnessing the chaos that broke loos--m'kay, time to stop.
On a sidenote, Chasm is my new favorite Djinn. *winks* 8D

Until then, continue to :trollface: at me. >_____> *goes back to playing DD*

See, this is WHY I said the Eclipse would be a bad thing; it actually turns out that way! :trollface:

I doubt you read it but in my RP with Jackal I pointed out this exact thing. A treehugger like you using an eclipse as a symbol when people would be fully aware of the horror of the Grave Eclipse is incredibly ironic.

Ironic? Yes. Ironic in the way you speak of? Not at all. I think you're confused, Gilgamesh.
I was pointing out the sheer coincidence. The Eastering Eclipse is living up to this "Grave Eclipse." So far, the phenomena in the RP (for those of you who haven't read it) parallels the beacon of the four lighthouse-affiliated elements, powering up Luna Adepts and being a drain on Solians. My switch to Luna is an acknowledgment of the sort of creature I have become (hence, the symbol/title in opposition to the Westering Sun). My character is in no way a treehugger; in fact, let's just say he wouldn't mind if the battle turns out as a suicide mission/letting the world get destroyed in order to see his vision be fulfilled. I haven't finished the game yet, but you could say I'm using the eclipse as a "weapon" as the parallel has been depicted by some in the game.
Next thing you know, there will be evil monsters seeping out from the shadows. :trollface:

It hasn't ceased to amuse me, Phoenix. *takes notes*
And, Satty, I soo EXPECTED you to post that here. XD

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!
SOL AND LUNA FINALLY GET THE REP THEY DESERVE.
NOT THAT I PLAN TO RIP THEM OFF. NOOOO.

And here I though that was all based on the events that happened in DD. What a coincidence though, like it was meant to happen =P

Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that you hadn't played up to that point when you started up with your EE crap?

I've been nagging Val to play DD for weeks, he finally got to that point. >_>

Also, actually Val, this is a total tangent, but my prof's opening lecture for 20th Century American Novel, on the American identity and stuff, fits your character so crazy well, you might as well function as an embodiment of American identity (I've actually usually slanted my character in a Canadian fashion, so :awe:)

You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

We could build our own Luna Tower with the amount of bricks he'll shit.. Just wait until the last dungeon, Vae. It'd be great to see that paralleled in EE, too.

Well if that's the case Vae, then yes. Have fun with your Grave Eclipse :U

Of course almost everyone present in EE is hax so the Eclipse monsters aren't worth much :awe:

OF COURSE IT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN, RAVEN.
I GAVE INTO LUNA AS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MY TRUTH AND DESTINY.

Hinoa, I'm a creature of narratives. This was planned as early as last spring. And given my age-old history/character, this shouldn't be -that- surprising if you haven't been TL;DRing me.

Yes, I noticed you were waiting for something, Bliss.
I'm wondering how many of you knew I had no idea? xD

Whoa, what you said interests me a lot. Care to elaborate, Saturos? Actually, I can see where you're going with that.
Thing is, I see myself as an embodiment of the Baydestrian/Golden Empire identity! =P
ALSO, POST IN EE! TIME IS SUPER COMPRESSED BETWEEN US!

I wonder how much longer Dark Dawn will be, given that I don't even have the eighth playable character in my party?
We'll see about that, Zephi. We'll see. We'll see what sort of monstrosity this produces. >_>

Not sure if I or somewhere else will try to parallel that, Gilgamesh. Already had other crazy ideas in stock, although Dark Dawn HAS given me inspiration to build on the Eastering Eclipse narrative. *grins*

Ahem.
*continues DD in anticipation of brick producing awe*

I could just ask the prof to email me the powerpoint. You'll naturally miss out on the kickass supporting lecture, but you'll get the general idea. Essentially though, a belief that self-society-world-universal/god are one and the same, a constant belief that what you have is fallen or failed and that either you have to get back to some past perfection as a great experiment or to constantly start over, going west, constantly breaking with the past in favour of starting anew with a new vision, and the individual's mind and goals as the ultimate fulfillment of things, particularly as evident in Emerson's philosophy. xP

Oh whoa, Emerson. You should've said that earlier, Saturos. I've definitely thought of myself as someone of a mold akin to him and Thoreau from I've read.
I wouldn't limit the identity to only my Temple character, in that regards. It's so second-nature that it's so surprising to see someone approach me and state it point blank. XP Suppose this is what you meant by my "visionary self."
I can sense the lecture was kickass already.

Conclusion: You cannot stop me. Strike me down, and I emerge in a new form. =P.

UPDATE on DD playthrough / BRICK TIEMZ~

GUYS I THINK SOL AND LUNA MIGHT BE CANON NOW

I JUST WALKED INTO HARUN VILLAGE AFTER THE ECLIPSE EVENT IN BELINSK

IT WAS SAID THE ANCIENTS WERE POSSIBLY TRYING TO GO BEYOND THE FOUR ELEMENTS WITH THE LUNA TOWER
LIGHT AND DARKNESS WERE MENTIONED

IN THE EASTERING ECLIPSE RP AND TEMPLEVERSE SOL AND LUNA WERE SEALED AWAY DURING THE TIME OF THE ANCIENTS AND DID NOT APPEAR AGAIN UNTIL THE KRADEN AGE

THIS GAME JUST KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
