Iām still wondering what it would be like if they went ahead with the original Xlll-3 idea for it instead of changing it into XV. What little was shown of the original idea looked really cool.
Edit: oops, I meant versus Xlll, not Xlll-3.
Wasnāt Versus XIII originally a Nomura project? God only knows what would have resulted.
Okay, so the solstice thread has left me confused.
When did pagan seasonal holidays becomeā¦ chic? Every major astronomical seasonal date, Iām swarmed with names heretofore unfamiliar. Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, and now Litha. And Iām hearing of them even from people whom I otherwise thought uninterested in anything remotely religious.
Is this a ākids these daysā thing? Asking as a disoriented millennial.
waves vaguely in the direction of Verum Rex.
I have no idea what that means.
Verum Rex* is the Versus XIII parody/homage game in Kingdom Hearts 3, starring Yozora, who showed up in the KH3 DLC and foreshadowed events for KH4.
Nomura even mirrored one of the original Versus XIII trailers in re:mind
*which translates to āTrue Kingā, if it wasnāt already on the nose enough.
As early as 2010, if not earlier? Thatās when I noticed it at least. Most of the time though itās a diet paganism, hip new thing for zoomers, though there are people that genuinely take it as their faith for this or that reason. Itās not that noticeable in our country though.
Afaik Solstice specifically has been regularly celebrated among the Nords (Sweden etc.), but thatās like celebrating Christmas, doesnāt have to be religious.
i donāt know what the hell has gone on with this covenant assault, but I do not have Drakaās Horn to continue it.
A bunch of possible reasons. Interest in oneās roots, interest in general spiritualism, interest in celebrating actually meaningful times of year, an increase in the knowledge of the general population with the advent of the internet and so on.
Oh, and you forgot Beltane/Mayday. Great excuse to have a bonfire.

I like this line of jokes.
Itās common talk among my liberal, often-LGBT social circle, but otherwise yes, it seems Slavic neopaganism is all the rage here instead.
See, I do want to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes, but as a rationalist I want to do it in a purely secular way without any religious or spiritual connotations, even if itās just superficial dressing. And now it feels like these people have appropriated astronomical events for themselves.
(grumbles, shakes cane)
Also, Iād say among RPers (especially Night Elves), neopagan traditions and whatnot also serve as inspiration for IC events.
and hey, excuse to throw a party baybeee
the real reason for everything
Solstice when living near Stonehenge is just an excuse to get drunk by the stones and watch the sunriseā¦ You rarely see it cause British weather.
