"Hi everyone! My name's Mumor!
How are you all? I've been feeling just fantastic, thank you! My live performance at this year's Sunbreeze Festival is about to begin, you see. All the fans have already begun lining up and—huh? Where in the world did everyone go...?

What's with the commotion over there? A crowd of people seems to have gathered.
But...something doesn't smell right here..."

This summer, a fearsome new menace has come to wreak havoc on festivals and smiles of happiness—the very things our winsome superheroine, Fantastic Fraulein Mumor, has sworn to protect. Only with your spirited show of support can Mumor hope to prevail in her latest battle against evil!
All together now: "Shining Summer Samba!!!"

Proceed here to learn how you can help Fantastic Fraulein Mumor purge Vana'diel of this latest threat casting its shadow over the realm!

*The Sunbreeze Festival will commence on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) and run until Monday, August 17 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

A long, long time ago, a lone meteor came hurtling through the heavens, finally coming to rest in a long forgotten corner of Vana’diel. From the core of this extraterrestrial rock emerged a being of pure evil: the self-proclaimed demon king, Ullegore. With unrelenting singleness of mind, Ullegore set forth to instigate his diabolical plot to sow the seeds of boredom the world over, finding festivals—the predominant source of fun and excitement in the realm of mortals—as the preferred targets for his insatiable thirst for tedium.

However, the arrival of this entity of darkness did not escape the notice of Professor Sarmoega, genius inventor and head of the Research Institute for Paranormal Phenomenon (RIPP). Realizing the dire implication of Ullegore’s appearance, the professor made it his life’s mission to prepare his only daughter, Mumor, to become she who would restore smiles and laughter to the world in its hour of need. As years of intensive training went by, this unlikely savior of Vana’diel matured to be known and loved by her fans as “Fantastic Fraulein Mumor,” the superpower-imbued defender of all that is good and fun.

Last year’s Sunbreeze Festival saw the two nemeses, Mumor and Ullegore, finally come face to face in an epic battle that will forever have a place in Vana’diel’s history books.

Despite having conceded the upper hand to her demonic adversary early in the encounter, with sheer tenacity and the power of her fan-fueled super-ability, the Dancing Force, in full swing, Mumor succeeded in banishing the demon king back to his rancorous realm...or so it was thought.

This summer, a fearsome new menace—the mysterious Mithra, Uka—has arrived to threaten the very existence of the Sunbreeze Festival. With the stakes so high, will Fantastic Fraulein Mumor be able to again stay the hand of evil and keep all the things she has sworn to protect safe from harm?

You, too, have a decisive role to play in this battle of fun versus boredom!
All together now: “Shining Summer Samba!!!”

. . . {Hmmm.} Where have I seen this new rival before . . . ?



Ah. Right.



. . . separated at birth?

[jenova_9]

YAYYY! MUMOR IS BACK! She's so kewl! =^^=


She really is a great inspiration to us all! \(^^)/

[Raydeus]

Heheh, she really is! \(^-^)/

I'll be right there cheering. (Unless my card gets pwned due to lack of verification.)







PS > Why a Mithra...

[Feba]

Needs more kiddie pools.

[Kailea]

oh lord... I missed this last year, and so its nice I will get my blue "swimsuit" but... is this really as Sailor Moon-ish as people where saying last year?

[Raydeus]

She doesn't transform, doesn't have a crush on a guy in a tuxedo and doesn't even have a seiyuu (yet)

So no, not really.


If anything it is more like a supa-hiiro performance at an amusement park.

[Armando]

Eh. The thought's still there. Flimy, frilly "battle outfits", magic wands, girly special effects and calling out your (love-based) special attacks.

mm sounds entertaining, might be fun ;p

[Aksannyi]

Advice:

FILTER EMOTES. And probably say, as well. If you don't, well, by the time you see what she's doing through all the spam, it'll be too late to do the correct motion. Also, I made macros for it that were titled by key words in her attack, so I didn't have to try to remember them.

This one was kinda fun, I did it on a few mules, too.

[Vyuru]

Hmm, now to support the villain or the heroine?

[Armando]

The villain, of course. She uses stars, which are infinitely cooler than hearts.

Mario collects stars, and he's clearly manly. He has overalls, a moustache and a pet dinosaur.

Link collects hearts, and he's clearly gay. He doesn't tap any of the chicks that are into him, looks like a girl and runs around in tights and a skirt.

[Raydeus]

I think Mumor deserved her own model instead of that reused face she got. But the illustration never dissapoints, they even made a mithra look good.

What in the blue fuck?

Mario is a fat plumber with a terrible mustache, who is constantly saving a smoking hot princess. IN RETURN FOR A GODDAMN CAKE. He never gets upset when she's in another castle. He's one step away from staring in "I'm Here to Clean Your Waste Pipes...' 6"!

Link has a sword, is generally badass (when he grows up; nobody cares that kid link turns into a goddamn bunny), was engaged when he was freaking twelve, has multiple women fawning over him (Zelda, ZoraPrincessGirl, Midna, AnnoyingStarterTownGirl, etc.), and is basically exactly what every little boy with a soul wanted to be when he grew up.


Mario is clearly gayer than Link.


One more proof: Which character would be more likely to be playing Freddie Mercury on stage?


Q.E.D.

Luigi.

Also, your mother.

In fact, I think the entire "Mario Bros." thing might just be a cover story! Who knows what those two are really doing-- I seem to recall them living together in pretty much every Mario game that brought the subject up.

You are not helping your case.
