It feels like extraterrestrial material…

Orichalcum!

Mithril!

Mythril!

So Hihiirokane was a fantasy mineral… I somehow thought it was real.

Mithril has become stricter recently.

>>6

It’s been tough since around 1980.

I just put it into writing and published it on the site again during the time of the Lord of the Rings movie.

>>7

It’s not about being new or old; rather, it’s that Tolkien’s influence on fantasy creation leading up to the present day is immense.

✴✴

>>10

I think what the Aum Shinrikyo cult addressed is more concerning than the original publication.

Damascus!

As a result of mithril becoming stricter, new terms created by overlapping a few characters with mithril are being used as substitutes, leading to an increase in fantasy minerals…

Imaginary fantasy metal!

Relics of a destroyed present that surpass.

So that was the origin of Hihiironokane… I thought it had a cooler position…

Hihirokane is not acknowledged as a creation by the person who wrote it.

I wonder if it’s because unlike mithril, I don’t have to worry about copyright?

Fantasy works have the issue of how to handle the performance of mithril.

If you make it all-inclusive like in the thread image, you can’t showcase other mysterious metals (the difference disappears).

Personally, I find it interesting that my original metal didn’t spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

>>23

Even if it grows, it won’t spread unless it gains high recognition.

>>26

Well, there are probably layers where they say, “Is it more mithril again?”

>>23

Vibranium and adamantium…

I’m curious about what the periodic table of fantasy looks like with legendary metals.

Is there a way to remember it that isn’t just “sailor love”?

>>24

Aren’t the elements fire, water, earth, and wind?!

>>24

Just like carbon can become carbon nanotubes depending on how it is processed, if silver or mercury is processed with elf magic, wouldn’t it turn into mithril?

>>73

There are works with such settings, but I feel that many treat silver and mercury as completely different things.

Well, it’s just like a synonym for titanium.

There is also a separate person in charge of tungsten.

>>28

It’s about the same position as a steel sword.

Isn’t it strange that the same silver has different performance? I used to think that way, but I learned that the quality and suitability of iron and copper can vary depending on the mine from which they are extracted, so I’ve come to accept that such differences can be accepted as part of fantasy.

It’s not just metal; even if you release various originals, it will still have that magical power, right? It’s orichalcum, right?

Even if I’m called by a name like Mithril Silver

It’s fundamentally incorrect to interpret it that way because it’s rarely described as something like silver.

>>31

When silver appears, it can become things like pure silver, right?

>>34

It means exactly what “mithril” means.

>>31

Well, it’s like mixing mercury and silver together.

>>31

The fact that Clelia from Ys is silver… this was more like a puzzle or climax of the first game, and I found it interesting.

Holy Silver God Gold Demon Iron

Look at this.

Platinum is not gold, you know.

Tamahagane

Damascus copper

Mithril silver

Hihirometal

Let’s go with this.

Chocobo had a decent strength with Mithril, and Titanium was the strongest weapon.

Is it better to have divine rare iron?

Even Damascus steel mentioned in ancient tales has an unknown source of raw materials.

The current Damascus steel is just a metal that uses the name fraudulently.

Adamantium Vibranium

Despite including materials like Misral, mithril-based metals often appear yet have no strong image of being the strongest metal at all.

Generally, I imagine that orichalcum and even higher metals come up.

Speaking of disputes over name usage, it’s Dragon Quest Your Story.

The composition of Damascus steel is more than 90% clear…

>>48

It’s not about the ingredients, but the processing.

In fantasy, there are dwarves as a blacksmith race.

Mithril and other mysterious metals are thought to belong to elves and gods, and they always give the impression of being the finest equipment manufacturers.

>>50

Both have dexterous hands and possess strong metal products, being long-lived species.

It’s easy to have character overlap.

Dwarves tend to disrupt the balance by starting to use firearms and steam engines.

The mysterious metal ebony appearing in the TES series.

>>51

It sounds like a metal that seems like it would sprout if you sowed it…

>>51

It might be a mysterious metal related to the Daedra…

>>51

I don’t understand Stalrim either…

I just remembered a manga that was serialized in Jump a long time ago, which had a fictional metal theme. I was excited at first, but it didn’t really pick up and got canceled.

I love stories where you go through so much trouble to obtain a super precious metal that’s been passed down since ancient times, only to find out it’s aluminum.

>>54

Well, it seems that the archaeological value is extremely high…

>>54

It’s great when descendants think something is an incredible treasure, only to find out it’s a cultural heritage site that holds no value.

>>54

I like the story of armor in a golden color that looks like polished copper.

Orichalcum has a golden image.

>>55

In short, it’s about brass, so it’s mostly correct.

It looks like gold and is hard enough, so there was a time when it was highly regarded as a metal of the divine human era.

Mithril is so lame! Let’s go home and make a sword out of adamantium!

Brass is beautiful, isn’t it?

Tolkien said that fantasy is worth creating a whole world.

>>60

Tolkien only thought that language and history should be created; he wasn’t interested in creating a world.

It’s set on Earth in the Lord of the Rings.

Anti-psycho defense steel (aluminum)!

Bulletin Board Niium!

We named this new metal, which hardens significantly when held by a woman, “Ochinpiium.”

Scarlet gold is already cool.

When considering the properties of mithril, it feels like it might just be aluminum.

Obutsudan Sword!

Adamantite is obtained from turtle shells.

What’s with all the settings like that being so common in games?

>>72

It’s mostly the fault of the Adamantite Maima.

>>74

Looking back now, I wonder if it had a nuance similar to a solid turtle or a diamond turtle at the time of its first release.

>>72

It’s not originally Taraskyu.

Professor Tolkien first creates fictional languages, so it’s just a little too…

Metal materials and defensive capabilities are still increasing in robot-related fields.

>>76

“General Products Corporation’s indestructible hull from Known Space.”

“Gundam 00’s ‘new translucent material that converts GN particles into heat'”

It’s funny how it often comes up in the series but ends up being wordy because there are no proper nouns.

Put some proper nouns somewhere!

Fantasy metals are nice, but I also like sci-fi elements.

Why is it that the Hihiirokane is good but the Abouitakara is not…!

It seems that magic metal might not get along well with dwarves.

>>79

The nuance changes a bit depending on whether it is refined using magic or if it is a metal that inherently possesses magical power.

>>49

The original novel is from 1939.

Let’s spread the hardest metal, Yawarakakunai, even more!

I’m trying to remember whether the spirit silver was mithril or not.

Mithril has become treated like a low-grade metal in the very early stages, hasn’t it?

>>85

In fantasy, placing mithril at a somewhat strong position and having an original metal stronger than that… there aren’t many of those, are there?

Adamant means something like “really hard.”

It’s not about a specific metal, but rather a general term for hard metals or something like that.

Achieved the mythical feat of cutting off Uranus’s penis in Greek mythology.

Tamahagane also benefits from having a cool name.

It was something that had to be made by refining sand iron because hardly any iron ore could be obtained.

Dwarves are generally bad at magic, but only they can process metals that contain magical power.

In the past, there were three types of adamant/adamantium, adamantite, and adamantine in D&D, each with different properties.

It means that the ball is already something very excellent or flawless.

>>92

Because it’s a Gyoku.

(A face reflecting on whether it’s Gundarium because it’s a material for Gundam, or if it’s Gundam because it was made from Gundarium)

>>93

The metal used for the armor of Gundam is lunac titanium.

It was decided to be used for Gundam, and that’s how it got the name Gundanium.

Is it okay like this?

>>93

The lunachitanium used in Gundam was recreated on Axis, and since it was used for Gundam, it was named Gundarium, so the term Gundarium alloy didn’t exist during the 1st series and came about from Z onwards.

Aluminum is amazing, isn’t it?

It doesn’t rust.

Mithril is just a weak metal, like in FF!

Nululoma-inium, obtained by collecting and refining the tiny fragments that accumulate in the groin of the half-metal elf, possesses ultra hardness and ultra ductility…

>>98

The metal elves, captured and turned into living mines like the bronze dragon from Drifters…

I think the adhesive elements that loosely connect different high fantasy in FF are too strong.

High-performance fantasy mineral with anti-magic iron for special attacks.

Occasionally, I come across settings where stainless steel is treated like a metal called mithril in that world.

Since it’s fantasy and an original ore, isn’t it alright to come up with a name without worrying about its origin?

>>107

Recently, fantasy works tend to prioritize consensus based on common knowledge.

Well, I prefer when the creator properly sets the original metal.

The material used in Gundam is Gundanium.

The one being used at the gym is Jimium.

The material used in the Zaku is Zakiium.

The material used for the Guff is Gufium.

The material used for the Z’Gok is Z’Gokium.

The material used in Gelgoog is Gelgugium.

It’s easy to remember.

I remembered Nausicaä’s ceramic.

Th-this knife is… Gundarium alloy!

To be honest, the Zaku machine gun can deflect with that thin armor, so in a fictional metal, it’s among the strongest, like the metal used in Gundam.

Super Alloy Z sword…! I wonder if it will appear in some fantasy.

>>112

Mazinger Blade!

I liked the Lucky Man’s hard mineral series.

When it comes to trace elements, the Ultraman element represented by Specium.

This is the legendary material Californium!

I love DB’s hard steel.

In True Mazinger, there are human-sized weapons made of Chogokin Z.

Titan is associated with sci-fi rather than fantasy.

Even though it is an element that naturally exists

In the space war, both the spaceships and giant robots were made of aluminum.

Back then, aluminum was a magical material.

>>124

You managed to come to Earth well…

Regarding robots, no matter how hard the armor material is, isn’t it true that they can’t withstand it if the bones are the same? Issues arise.

>>125

Exoskeleton robot…!

>>125

I always think that even if there are really tough weapons in fantasy works, the bones of the people handling them are probably overwhelmingly more fragile, right?

>>103

It’s become a snail!

Transparent aluminum and so on.

KS steel is only used for things like mecha and robots.

I forgot whether it was Master Keaton or Pineapple Army, but I found it interesting that the legendary metal from the middle ages turned out to be aluminum.

In terms of fictional metals, unobtainium should be viewed more in the sci-fi genre than the fantasy genre.

The vehicle in the movie The Core was made of unobtainium, I believe…

Even a robot with a weak interior can withstand if it is supported by ultra-material arms from the outside!

It’s disappointing that Mithril doesn’t have any vampire special effects.

How about silver?

>>134

If everything was a special effect, it would be tough for the vampires too.

>>138

Recent vampires seem to be made into creatures that just live long and suck blood, so it feels like anything works on them…

The silver sword has a special attack against monsters, but I like the idea that it’s a floppy sword against objects without fantasy elements.

Spirit silver and mysterious silver are nice, aren’t they!

I was impressed that they were gathering various materials by using the name “Hihiirokane” in the era of Spriggan.

>>139

It’s more of an homage to Hideyuki Kikuchi’s Alien series, or rather it’s quite similar as it is…

Mithril is a mid-level weapon.

FF was often allowed to use only mithril.

I stopped being Dogezaemon.

>>142

It seems to be safe because the spelling is different.

Is that true?

>>142

Well, it’s just a hassle when they get involved.

I like that the name of the metal for the Orcs in TES is orichalcum.

There was a time when it was mithral in D&D, right?

I don’t know how it is now, but…

>>146

It turned into mithril halfway through.

Wasn’t it supposed to be a copyright measure?

I think Gundarium is a relatively well-established alloy.

Older robot anime seems to have many original metal names.

The most famous superalloy Z probably needs one more step in its name.

>>147

Understood! Chogokin New Z.

>>147

Super Alloy New Zα

Shining trapezohedron

In FF2, while names like Mithril and Quarl are explicitly mentioned, there are also creatures like Hecteyes that have different names and appearances, but when you look at their parameters, you realize their motif is Beholder, which makes it hard to understand the balance.

Gandarium alloy and Gundanium alloy are different.

Lunatitanium and Lunatitanium (X) are also different.

>>152

Only in the Universal Century.

Gundarium alloy α

Gandarium Alloy β

Gundamium Alloy γ

Titanium alloy ceramic composite material

There is also!

It was pretty good that weapons from the Super Robot Wars OG series, like the ZO Sword, appeared in Mugen Frontier as well.

Bronze (the bones of the (sometimes still living) gods of the dead wind)

I learned about Hihiirokane in the first volume of Spriggan.

It should have been presented as a metal in the same category as orichalcum.

I thought Higihirokane was Orichalcum, but maybe it’s because of the Spriggan.

>>156

It should be considered a different entity than a spriggan.

While you can see hihiirokane fairly often, you don’t really see aboitakara much.

The sound is strong, so it’s Hihirokane.

>>159

The red and blue ones are fine, but the latter is sometimes hard to tell that it’s metal at first glance.

I think it was probably Kawazu who adopted Kuar in FF2.

In Saga, they often use Zen guns, Unworms, and Fractions, as well as sci-fi themes, right?

>>160

I was originally developing games with a sci-fi flavor… it’s part of the company’s culture.

>>160

In D&D, which FF seems to be based on, there is a display service beast that appears to be inspired by Quall.

I think it just reverted to its ancestors.

There was also some original alloy for Mini 4WD, right? Was it not alloy but ceramic?

>>161

ZMC is quite a mysterious material, isn’t it?

Is there any point in making it not mithril when it’s completely a copy of mithril?

>>166

Isn’t it for litigation prevention?

>>166

It looks like mithril to anyone, but it seems that the only reason not to use the name is to prepare for legal issues.

Even though it’s supposed to be an image of orichalcum gold, recently people have started saying cyan, and it’s confusing me.

Well, the alloys in reality are more complex and intricate…
