I wish this game wasn't so obscure. I love the snark, I love all the companions, it seems like I discover something new all the time (like the Paladin who wants to become an evil minion). Yuelia is an interesting character and I'm glad she did what she did in the end. I also like the Origin Island storyline very much and maybe next Yuletide I'll nominate Grace and some of the others characters from up there. Feel free to use Origin Island as a backdrop for any of your stories that fit.
Stat-wise, Odin and Ophelia are my favorite companion characters. The fact that you can recruit rulers of the various countries (at least in the original game) is why I nominated Fantasy Life in the first place, not because I wanted a particular prompt, but because I wanted worldbuilding. How does this place work? Why does the furniture store owner buy, say, armor or fish? How does Pam know about all the things she asks for on the Lunares Coins requests? How do some monsters/resources respawn so fast? For that matter, why is the Player Character the only one in the game that can have pointy ears, at least among the humans?
There are just so many stories to tell, dear writer, that I hope you want to write at least one of them!
Did I mention that I love Patty? I love her team as well, but Patty was the one that resounded with me so, so much. She's very intelligent, thoughtful, sarcastic, and has a good read on people. I thought honestly that I'd like Erin the most of the four - she and I have quite a few things in common - but it was Patty who captured my heart. Her lines (like "What the sweet hell?" in the subway during the encounter with the electric chair ghost) are pretty much a fine line between brave and sensible.
That being said, I just love the team! They don't always get along, but it's so nice that when push comes to shove that they have each others' backs. I love that kind of team togtherness. Team bonding is a long time favorite thing of mine, and this team bonded so nicely. It's something that I'd like to see more of, honestly, just the four of them being together. I'd want Patty to be kind of nudging it along, but I don't think these four need very much of a push. The fact that they put all of that effort to save Kevin is something I love to see. Because they're together, they can save the world.
I haven't seen all of the extended cut yet, but from what I have seen, I love Patty and this team even more, and I hope that you are into this as well!
Last year's prompts were pretty much Mutsuki, but I've rewatched half the series and I realized that I wanted a story that featured either Mutsuki or Kenzaki. I like the idea that all of the originally-human riders are less human than they were before, though Kenzaki far more so than Tachibana or Mutsuki, though I realize this is more my weird brain than anything else. What makes someone human has always been interesting to me, and I'd love to have someone explore that, but I haven't figured out how to add it in as a prompt, really.
I find the world of Blade interesting, and I have to wonder what would have happened if one of the other Undead had won the original Battle Fight. For example, what would a world of Orchids, Tigers, or Spiders have been like? Would they have had Riders, eventually? Might the Human Undead won the second time? It's intriguing to me. For all that Blade's ending is rather bittersweet, I love it.
Ghost has just finished, and I'm sad it's over. I really found Alain's storyline interesting, and it's great that he, Makoto, and Kanon returned to the Ganma world to fix it up - that world's going to need a lot of help! I can easily see Alia do the actual governing while Alain and the others work to start helping the Ganma readjust to being mortal again. Alain can especially help, as he went through all of what the Ganma are going to be going through. Makoto and Kanon can help here, too.
Since I didn't request any of the staying-on-Earth characters, I'm not going to ask anybody to write them. It would be intriguing to have the Ganma world characters converse with the staying-on-Earth characters, and to have Eadith and Javert help out as sort of counselors to the newly mortal through a communications device of some sort. I think any of the team would be happy to help out, even if about half of them are in a totally different dimension.

The Fatal Frame games have loads and loads of characters, and it's hard to pick up a small set to nominate. I thought about nominating the Spirit Camera characters, but I haven't quite finished the game yet. Likewise, I'd like to finish playing through Fatal Frame V. I don't have a Wii U and don't plan to get one, so I will probably not be playing V for quite a while. When it came time to decide, I nominated characters who all showed up in III, because I was my first game and III followed up on I.
That being said, worldbuilding is always a love of mine and so I'd be grateful if someone wrote me a story about the locations and/or their ghosts. I would be interested in any of the locations, from Himuro Mansion to Mt. Hikami, and anybody from Broken Neck to the Tall Woman. There are just so many tragic backstories that I think would be interesting to read about!
