Now I am a huge sword enthusiast and watch many videos on youtube about historical swords, and HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) I love all kinds of swords but especially those from the Medieval and Renaissance periods! The Viking style swords were blade heavy and packed a lot of power. The one handed Arming Sword and shield was the most prominent throughout the Medieval period and even lived into the Renaissance. The Long Sword of course most everyone knows as the Knight's sword. I find the Messers and Falcions especially interesting blade shapes and designs for they come in so many! Sabers, cutlasses are cool! Two Handed Greatswords are really more like Polearm battlefield weapons and were not practical to carry around for everyday life. The list goes on I just want to know if anyone else here finds swords interesting and are there any other Youtube channels I should know about? Let me know!

Idea brainstorming for new artwork, ships, crossovers! Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy with other series and each other! So far I have one Marvel Comics crossover and several DC Comics crossovers. Also one from Fairytail (anime) and some Pokemon ideas! I want to branch out and brainstorm other ideas too! Other games, anime, movies, cartoons, books, comics you name it! As long as it is crossover with Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts! Leave your ideas below! I am a huge fan of crossovers! 

I always wanted to see a crossover with Zack Fair meeting Captain America from Marvel Comics! Two Super Soldiers. Two Heroes. Two Legends. They meet shaking hands with total respect for each other's Honor and legacy. Buster Sword resting besides Captain America's shield! EPIC! 

Zack Fair (older 1st Class look from Crisis Core) and Terra (KH BBS) should switch outfits for a crossover!

Some of these ideas came from my friends online so I'll share them here.

It would be epic to see Riku from Kingdom Hearts meet Cecil Harvey from FF 4 since they both use darkness and light, they look similar and went through similar development. Like looking in a mirror.

Also epic for Tifa Lockhart to meet Wonder Woman. Among two of the strongest women from their respective universes become best of friends. A friend of mine wanted to see one where they meet and a follow up outfit swap! alternate scenes can feature both ladies with their other outfits swapping too. Haha sounds fun to me.

Aqua dressed up as Officer Jenny from Pokemon with either Terra or Zack Fair as Brock flirting with her. Maybe one of each haha! Especially Zack because he is a major flirt like Brock! :D

Aerith Gainsborough meets Serena from Pokemon. Maybe they switch outfits too haha! I noticed how similar these two are in personality and especially looks! :D

Aerith wearing Serena's outfit with Zack Fair wearing Ash's outfit. Pokemon Amour shipping style Final Fantasy Zerith shipping!

Aerith (who loves pink) wearing Nurse Joy's outfit from Pokemon and Zack Fair as Brock flirting! :D

Cissnei the Turks resident Ninja and one of their top agents from Crisis Core meeting other secret agent women or ninjas. Cissnei should be holding her Shuriken named "Rekka" and showing it to the other ninja ladies.

Cissnei could also be meeting other secret agent ladies like Kim Possible!

Kefka Final Fantasy 6 meets Joker DC Comics! Diabolical insane Clown duo! RIP worlds! :D

Sephiroth FF 7 meets Superman DC Comics and maybe notes how they sound similar (George Newbern voices most animated and video game Superman's and voices most of Sephiroth's roles!) Outfit swaps would be hilarious!

From Kingdom Hearts Namine should meet Supergirl (younger animated look from Superman the animated series and Justice League Unlimited. Outfit swaps would be fun! Or even just Namine dressed up and flying like Supergirl would be fun!

Axel KH meets Human Torch from Marvel Comics or Firestorm from DC Comics.

Axel KH meets the firey lady Volcana (DC Comics) Shipping? Any other fiery ladies too. :D 

Axel meets Natsu Dragneel from Fairytail anime. Natsu can eat flames to restore energy, heal, and power up while Axel if he is hit by any fire attacks absorbs it and heals all the damage that would have been done. I see a never ending friendly competitive fire training/sparring match here! :D


Regarding shipping I will use one of my favorite alternate ships as an example of the ideas I come up with. This is for Zack Fair and Aqua but some of these can be applied to other pairings too! I really like Terra and Aqua too so many of these ideas fit well for them! Zack and Aqua is rarer and so I can't get enough of it.

1. Zack and Aqua together at the beach! A sunny day eating sea salt ice cream as they smile and laugh together! A perfect day in paradise!

2. Zack and Aqua in shallow pool nearby or behind a tropical waterfall! They are wearing swim suits and could be kissing in this one!

3. Zack and Aqua training together in the Land of Departure. Sparring practice while their friends are watching!

4. Zack confronted by 3 girls he has flirted with, Aerith, Cissnei, and Aqua. They are playfully teasing him while he is unsure how to deal with them. He thinks they are being serious when it's all in fun ;)

5. Zack and Aqua adventuring other realms like Skyrim, or a generic fantasy world. They are hunting a dragon or some other powerful monster! Zack is tanking it head on to keep it's attention while Aqua casts powerful magic / limits to finish the beast!

6. Zack and Aqua taking on a massive army of unversed or Heartless!

7. Zack and Aqua teaming up in the Realm of Darkness against Neo Shadows or the secret dark monster boss Aqua fights in the final mix version.

8. (Major feels here) Zack and Aqua standing side by side before the Shinra Army, and a later picture showing the army wiped out as Zack and Aqua defeat them while teaming up! What could have been because in this alternate story Zack lives!

9. Zack proposing to Aqua at a beautiful garden lit up in the night with lights and fireflies. Stars are bright, and Zack is on one knee holding a diamond ring before a glowing water fountain as he asks Aqua to marry him!

10. Wedding day Zack and Aqua! An open field with a view of the sky! Friends all around!

11. Camp fires, mountains, forests, gardens, lakes, city lit up at night, and other date locations would be fun to make!

12. Zack and Aqua honeymoon in Paris France! Holding each other and kissing at the Eiffel Tower or with it in the background! Either way works! Other romantic locations like tropical islands, Venice Italy and more can be great too!

13. Zack (Crisis Core 1st Class look) and Aqua team up against Sephiroth!

14. Zack (Crisis Core 1st Class look) and Aqua team up against Master Xehanort and Vanitus!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I can help brainstorm more ideas or clarify details! I can also do these kind of brainstorms for other KH and FF characters so feel free to ask if you want other lists! Thank you for your time and taking new requests! Dreams and Honor my friend! :D

CALLING ALL ARTISTS! I'm looking for anyone seeking new ideas for romantic ships, adventure scenes, and series crossovers! I have tons of ideas to share! 

My first list is about shipping but I have many other ideas to share so if you need ideas just ask me and I will share them!

I wish to request more Zack Fair x lady alternate ships! I have many requests that I wish to see. I'm just throwing out fun ideas! 
:D (Big Grin) I wish to personally request any of the following 
Zack x Cissnei (Crisis Core), 
Zack x Aqua (KH BBS), 
Zack x Kairi, or Namine (KH)
Zack x Tifa (FF 7), 
Zack x Princess Ashe (FF 12), 
Zack x Fran (FF 12), 
Zack x Penelo (FF 12), 
Zack x Lightning (FF 13), 
Zack x Vanielle (FF 13), 
Zack x Yuna (FF 10), 
Zack x Selphie (FF 8), 
Zack x Rinoa (FF 8), 
Zack x Rydia (FF 4), 
Zack x Rosa (FF 4), 
Zack x Terra Branford (FF 6), 
Zack x Celes (FF 6), 
Zack x Princess Garnet (FF 9), 
Zack x Beatrix (FF 9), 
Zack x Aya Brea (Parasite Eve),
Zack x Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), 
Zack x Claire Redfield (Resident Evil), 
Zack x Princess Zelda (LoZ/SSB), 
Zack x Zero Suit Samus (Metroid/SSB), 
Zack x Palutena (SSB) and/or other ladies. 
Zack x Fairytail ladies (Fairytail Anime)
Zack x Super-heroines (DC or Marvel) would be great!

If you have a new idea for a another lady to ship with Zack ask me and I'll let you know if I wish to see it. 
:) (Smile)

I wish to see especially ones that are more uncommon like Zack x Cissnei, Zack x Aqua, and also ones that are almost non existent like many of the others on the list. But all of them would be great additions to the alternate Zack Fair shipping community! 

Now I love Aerith as Zack's true love and Zerith is one of my favorite ships make no mistake about it! Zerith is canon and perfect but I also enjoy the alt ships because they are a lot of fun! I can see Zack in alternate timelines/realities or just during his younger dating spree having relationships with any of these fine ladies! :D (Big Grin)

The only ladies I do NOT ship Zack with are Quistis, Rikku, Paine, Yuffie, Fang and some others. They're not bad but I don't find them as visually appealing to ship with Zack Fair. Personal preference.

(Disclaimer I do NOT hate Yang or RWBY. I actually like RWBY and I am a fan of many series. Books, movies, comics, anime, and games are some of my favorite things. I use Zack Fair from Crisis Core as my profile thumbnail because his story and character is one of my all time favorites, but I have many favorites from other series. Now on to the journal!) 

Here is the evidence directly from the ScrewAttack Death Battle research team showing Tifa was going to win. Screwattack (Death Battle) was partners with RoosterTeeth (RWBY creators) of course they were going to make Yang win.

This is a revaluation of Tifa's attack power on Screwattack. The stats are not even close.
www.screwattack.com/post/51231… These numbers were omitted to make sure Tifa lost, Yang couldn't have survived this and her win via the pillar feat would have been impossible. Tifa's attack power as follows:

53 tons-force * 7.6) * 4 (PH's special ability at full Limit Bar) = 4,651.2 tons-force (Normal attacks/punch/kick)
651.2 tons-force (Tifa's normal strength while wearing fully charged Premium Heart)

651.2 * 1.375 (Somersault)) * 2 = 12,790.8 tons-force
651.2 tons-force * 1.5 (Waterkick)) * 2 = 13,953.6 tons-force
651.2 tons-force * 1.625 (Meteodrive)) * 2 = 15,116.4 tons-force
651.2 tons-force * 1.75 (Dolphin Blow)) * 2 = 16,279.2 tons-force
651.2 tons-force * 1.875 (Meteor Strike)) * 2 = 17,442 tons-force
651.2 tons-force * 2.625 (Final Heaven)) * 2 = 24,418.8 tons-force

Total damage output, Tifa: 111,628.8 tons+ Yang could not survive that.

That's ASSUMING we don't go beyond the official FF 7 game's calculations here because other game sources say Tifa's Final Heaven attack hits with the force of a Nuclear Warhead! But just to keep it fair we won't do that here even though since original FF 7 Tifa has only gotten stronger and more skilled a fighter! 

Remember Yang's fight against Mercury in the Tournament? The same one Mercury PURPOSELY LOST to get Yang framed and her team disqualified. Yeah remember that was not a long fight at all but Mercury had Yang's Aura nearly completely drained.

Remember Death Battle how many hits Tifa got on Yang? It was a lot and every hit Yang got on Tifa which was much less, only made Tifa stronger hitting. Yang's Aura would have been gone already and Tifa's normal hits at full limit bar would have killed Yang.

Tifa's earlier "weaker" hits as her limit gauge rises would have sealed the deal, let alone Tifa's insane Limit power.

Note Yang's semblance only increases her power, which she relies on too heavily, does NOTHING for her defense or durability. Her only defense is her Aura which as we know is very limited. 

Also note the "durability feat" of Yang is wrong regarding the concrete pillar at 1400 tons. And here is the proof that the pillar feat is only worth 140 tons. This article explains that Flexural Strength or sideways for concrete is about 10% of the total Compression value of concrete.
www.theconcreteproducer.com/co… That pillar Death Battle referenced broke at 1400 tons, getting hit from the side is only worth 10% of the compression value. Pillars compression value going from above or below is not the same as Flexural Strength or sideways pressure. Sideways they break at 10% their total compression value. So Yang's actual durability is taken down from 1400 tons to 140 tons by the concrete pillar logic.

Tifa on the other hand literally has no limit to what she can lift in her limit form suplexing mountain sized God-Machines called the Weapons with her Meteodrive attack. Lifting and smashing not enough? Okay it gets better Tifa grabs foes of any size or weight with just one hand and flies sky high before hurling them down to the ground with her Meteor Strike attack! Superman caliber right there! Those attacks aren't even her strongest! Her best attack is a Falcon Punch on steroids, her Final Heaven Punch attack!

Mercury's attacks prove just Tifa's normal attacks would drain Yang's Aura quickly and then the better skilled, stronger fighter would take out Yang easily. No magic needed which makes it even easier for Tifa to do.


In the FF 7 movie Advent Children Tifa beat the crap out of Loz, who is a Sephiroth remnant possessing all of the original Sephiroth's strength and speed. Tifa won the first fight. After a short break Loz had a new idea he used his over-sized taser fist weapon bigger than his hand and taser punched Tifa in the back of the neck! Even Superman and Hulk have been knocked out by strong tasers so this does not discredit Tifa in any way. Loz was lucky and pulled a smart move against a foe he knew he couldn't beat! Tifa was already knocked out but he smashed her through a concrete pillar next before escaping with Marlene and the Materia. Later Tifa woke up with Cloud and was totally fine! Not injured in any way what a Tank! Tifa is a durable Tank! 

In Advent Children Tifa also kicked a monster the size of a horse or bear and sent it flying at least 50 feet, maybe more. She wasn't even in limit form one kick it was dead! She killed groups of them with her punches and kicks too as they tried to overwhelm her. Good luck with that! Tifa is queen of martial artists in gaming no question. 

The AC story wouldn't have happened if Tifa stopped Loz right away and she would have if not for the unexpected taser. Tifa was beating Sephiroth's strength and speed in a martial arts fight! Also Tifa is NOT a glass canon her defense and HP stats are right in the solid middle of the group and she takes hits no problem. Even Aerith, Vincent, and Cait Sith who have the lowest Defense take hits just fine! None of them are "glass canons" as Death Battle wrongly claims. End of the FF 7 game Tifa and her friends battle Sephiroth who ascended to God-hood! Final Fantasy heroes battle Gods or God-level monsters, endure hits from the strongest beings in the universe, and defeat them to save the world! Feats right in the top list of any other series heroes. Just let that sink in. 

Tifa's total damage outfut: 111,628.8 tons+ of force, far greater than Death Battle's quote "1400 tons" x 0.10 (10% Concrete Flexueral Strength or sideways force breaking the pillar) = 140 tons... Not nearly enough to survive even Tifa's earliest attacks at full limit meter... or even her earlier attacks, which would have already fully drained Yang's Aura. As we know her Aura is anything but infinite. You all saw how many hits Yang had already taken from the better skilled fighter, Tifa. But even at 1400 tons Tifa's normal attacks at higher limit would have drained all of Yang's aura and taken her out. The first limits alone would have demolished Yang. Even amping Yang up means she would just survived just long enough to have seen the grand finale that is Final Heaven.

Tifa would annihilate Yang Death Battle got it wrong. Their research team had official evidence proving Tifa's victory but the head two spokesmen Wiz and Boomstick changed it up, left out that key research, and went with their own biased outcome to promote their new partner RoosterTeeth. ScrewAttack is financial partners with them make sense now?

Yang is NOT invincible by any means and her Aura is extremely limited! Her semblance which increases her strength when she loses hair or gets pissed off ONLY increases her offense. It does NOTHING for her defense, durability, or her predictable rampage that better fighters will easily pick apart.

(Disclaimer I say this as a honest fan of many series. I do like Yang but she is very much over-rated. I like RWBY and many other anime, shows, movies, books, and games.)

RWBY fan base has it's share of toxic fans. Truly every fanbase does but RWBY's is crazy!
 Some of them actually think Yang is anywhere near the level of Super Saiyan's, the strongest Super Heroes, let alone One Punch Man... She isn't even close. She got beat by a small petite girl who did ballerina all over her! Neo's throwing Yang into a short train cab ceiling knocked her out cold... Not even that much force...

The following summary is about Yang as she appears in the first three volumes of RWBY (When Death Battle Yang vs Tifa was made) So nothing from later volumes, 4 and onward has ANY relevence to my assessment of Yang. Even as of volume 4 she has been training to become a better trained fighter however this has not been shown in any fights yet so it is still only speculation whether she will not be as reckless in the future. I bet she will improve but as of volume 3 during the Death Battle phase, overall Yang is a hot headed rampaging fighter. This cannot be denied. 

Theoretically IF Yang survived a hit she can deal double the damage back but ONLY IF she hits the target. And IF she can survive the damage she is taking, she is tough but no where near invincible! Yang is notoriously easy to angry, reckless, and predictable. Her level of skill is pretty average and very low compared to master fighters. Yang is too straightforward and not overly dynamic. Neo just dancing and twirling around her with overly flamboyant delayed moves, much slower than better trained martial artists from other series, and she totally pwned Yang! Just picked her apart before slamming her into the short ceiling of a train knocked out Yang... I'm sorry that was pathetic for someone who RWBY fans think is a Hulk or Saiyan. Yang is overrated. 

Mercury's fight proved how little time and damage it takes to deplete Yang's very limited supply of Aura. And Mercury lost intentionally by the way all part of the plan to frame Yang. Once her Aura's gone she is vulnerable to finish. And powerful enough attacks can pierce through and completely negate Aura. We saw this with Adams blade but I'm sure many things in other universes could do this easily. Anything that negates, consumes, drains, or cancels out soul abilities or inner spirit power can probably do the same to Aura. 

Examples of other series fighters, Batman would take down Yang no problem because he is just that skilled at grapples, feints, take downs, dodges, counters, submission holds, pressure points and so on. Batman has mastered every known martial art. Now take, Black Panther who is that skilled and his panther strength rivals the super soldiers like Captain America, who is also a master of every known world martial art, just like Batman and Black Panther, and even though all 3 of these fighters aren't as strong, they would take down Yang. All 3 of them are skilled at dodging and countering bullets as well. Batman's Batarangs would damage the Ember Celica not allowing it to fire, Caps shield is bulletproof and absorbs powerful hits, Black Panthers armor is Vibranium and bulletproof.

Spiderman is extremely skilled as a fighter. Not as experienced but also even stronger than these 3 and has the spider sense to dodge Yang's attacks. He has webbing that can temporarily hold Hulk and gunk up gun barrels. Spiderman would destroy Yang even if the webs only just slowed her down, but they would do much more. She couldn't move at all against his strongest webbing. Better fighters can knock Yang out by simple pressure point, submissions holds, of just knock her head into a wall like Neo did... And you don't even have to be a world class fighter like Wildcat, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Black Widow, Batman, Robin, Nightwing, or Red Hood to do it! All fighter examples who fight super strong mutants or metahumans and they win by skill, wits, and not getting hit by the raging beast's or brute human's predictable attacks! There's many more in comics who do this same feat but you get the idea. 

Now take that kind of martial arts mastery, speed, agility, combat experience, feint fighting style to deceive and pick apart a reckless fighter like Yang, only now make this fighter even faster, more athletic, able to use powerful magic, and who also gets stronger the more damage she takes, unleashing limit strength rivaling Super Heroes and Super Saiyans! Enter Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7. She literally has no limit to what she can lift in her limit form suplexing mountain sized God-Machines called the Weapons. Lifting not enough? Okay it gets better Tifa grabs them with one hand and flies sky high before hurling them down to the ground! Superman caliber right there! Those attacks aren't even her strongest! Her best attack is a Falcon Punch on steroids, her Final Heaven Punch attack! Mercury's attacks prove just Tifa's normal attacks would drain Yang's Aura and then the better skilled, stronger fighter would take out Yang easily. 

In the FF 7 movie Advent Children Tifa beat the crap out of Loz, who is a Sephiroth remnant possessing all of the original Sephiroth's strength and speed. Tifa won the first fight. After a short break Loz had a new idea he used his over-sized taser fist weapon bigger than his hand and taser punched Tifa in the back of the neck!
