Nophica Revisits + Update
🕑 Added 2025-12-03 14:40:15 +0000 UTCHi! it's December already. I'll start it with goddesses revisit for the Monthly FF14.
....Or just largely a Nophica revisit. Welp...sorry but can't help experimenting with her 2 big fruits. Not many characters are like her in the game.
The 6 goddesses in 1 scene video was a mesh clipping nightmare. It was a simple one to animate, but the mesh clean up was not simple at all. I probably missed some.
I had to animate in solid mode to get 15 FPS on viewport and disable all subdivision modifier for final render or it'll crash. Turns out with my rig and shaders setup, 6 low poly FF14 characters is as heavy as 3 Stranger of Paradise characters. took the video twice the usual time to render too.
Uh..Idk if I want to do more than 3 girls again if the characters have huge hair and head accessories design like them anytime soon lol.
=================================================================
NEW MODEL
I got 2 main girls...or Waifu as people call them nowadays. 1 is Aranea from Final Fantasy XV, and the other one is from another series called Legend of Heroes or 英雄伝説 (Eiyuu Densetsu) :
I've been wanting to rig her for quite sometime, but I suck at anime shading, so I've been resisting the urge to rig her for quite a long time. it's Arianrhod The Steel Maiden from 碧の軌跡 (Ao no Kiseki) or Trails to Azure in global release.
Idk if I want to say she is on my queue list currently, Because she is not. not yet at least. I want to try to see if I can get her shading to look exactly like it was in the game first (Cold Steel IV). so far I'm doing terrible job at it.
There are so many good anime shaders template and tutorials out there, but I don't think they are that close to the ingame look I want.
My top 5 girls from the series are :
1. Arianrhod 'Lianne Sandlot'
2. Aurelia Le Guin
3. Kilika Rouran
4. Shizuna Rem Misurugi
5. Sara Valestein
My other favorites include Laura S Arseid and Claire Rieveldt. But those above are my top 5. So they are in higher chance of getting rigged and animated (maybe).
Probably not a surprise since I said a long time ago I love beautiful armored women. and isn't it hot when you can tame them in bed? showing you side they never show in the battlefield?
...Anyway, speaking of anime shaders, there is also that new FF gacha games. Which I don't play (and never going to).
But if some models popped up somewhere, why not. Gaia is super cute there.
=================================================================
UP NEXT
I might want to go full solo for Sarah next week. Do a proper set of her instead of just 1 or 2 animations every revisit. And the 7R girl debut after her is Naomi. After Naomi, well...I guess it's time we go back to FF7 timeline to smash the moms.
So far, Only Claudia got the scenes preposed. I could focus only on her and feature YTifa here and there. or include Jessie's mom and Ifalna as well.
or all of them. no promise, but we'll see.
That's it. I'm lucky this week, but I'm still in the schedule redzone this month. There is a chance next week's post will be delayed to the weekends or the week after.
Thanks for all your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m
Please stay safe and healhty at all times, and I wish for the goddess of luck to give you plenty of boon.
See ya!

"I suck at anime shading" and then proceeds to do some great anime style renders LOL. Whenever it is that you do her, I hope you keep her armor for the animations, it's way hotter that way IMO Also would love to see you do some Persona characters if you were to experiment with the anime style more, Chie needs some love!

I thought I was tripping when I saw Lianne in my inbox 🥰 Would love to see you start doing some Trails girl since this series does not lack hotties. Think I must take the chance and throw out some names and hope for the best 🙈 Would love to see Alfin (both but more the CS3/4), Renne CS4, Tio CS4, Duvallie and oc our forgotten Sword Wife Anelace.

I LOVE YOU INITIAL_A <3 You are top creator, and so sweet in your post. I would like so much you have more person to support you (financial). Have you ever thinking of creating your own model for a game from your original creation. You have really improved on skill. Best wishes. Hi from France.

YTifa is best Tifa.

Please don't forget about Yorda after Naomi and all three of them after. Can't wait for Jessie's mom and Ifalna! Thanks!

Arianrhod is a first rate Waifu. Shame her final appearance is overshadowed by Falcon golden boy Rean taking center stage, as he always do, and her final battle in CS4 was so easy even on Nightmare difficulty.
