Asterite34 posted:While they can turn invisible/intangible when convenient (since they're basically ghosts of dead people no matter how much Saber hypes them up), they mostly walk around autonomously and stuff with something that approximates a normal tangible body. They strictly don't need to eat hamburgers and sleep on your sofa and such, but they can do so recreationally. As I understand it, sleeping and eating helps conserve mana, so there's a practical purpose, but mostly they like to sleep and eat and otherwise do people things and as heroes of legend it's kinda hard to talk them out of doing whatever they want.

i mostly just dismissed it as "sleeping and eating actually feel really good so you'd do it even if it wasn't strictly required" i know i would

My favourite thing about this game is that it happened because Kou Shibusawa, the creator of the Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdom game series, is a huge fan of FGO in general and Musashi in particular. So he went to Nasu and said "Hey, let's make a game with Musashi in it."

Kou Shibusawa's name being attached to Samurai Remnant was one of those things that made me sit up and take notice. Before I realised he was in there I was just expecting a straight up "cutscene before, run around a battlefield killing enemies, cutscene after" style musou (which I enjoy, mind), but what we got was so much more. For me at least, the game leans into being much more like Yakuza in its style than it does a straight musou.

I probably won't follow the LP for a while because I jsut got the game and am playing it too. But I love it so far and will check it out when I get off my rear end and finish the game.

 Update time! Episode 5 - A Journey of a Thousand Miles When a lady with two berserkers tells you to go find out some intel for her, you definitely go do that. Iori and Saber have a name and now they have to figure out what that name means in Edo. They might not like what their investigation will turn up.

If the killing blow was dealt with one of Saber's solo Affinity Techniques it will count towards Sabers kills for unlocking stuff.

Funny that you guys talked about Makai Tensho, as the Fate universe has a pretty complete homage to it (in Fate/Grand Order), right down to the main villain wielding DARK JESUIT SORCERY. Pretty sure none of it's going to apply to this story directly though.

One thing I've been wondering about Saber is why her sword has that wavy/flame-bladed motif. Isn't that primarily a thing with archipelagic SE Asia, eg the kalis or the keris? (Or is it just "everybody gets anime weapons, deal with it"?)

(Or is it just "everybody gets anime weapons, deal with it"?) It's a reference to the element of water that Saber controls, protecting the sword's true identity from being discovered and revealing its wielder's identity in turn. Fate/Stay Night did a similar thing, albeit with "wind" hiding the sword to make it look invisible.

Yeah, I didn't end up getting a chance to talk about Shimousa cause we shifted gears, but I figure I'll have chances later since there's lots of little stuff from there that's adjacent to what's going on in a lot of little symbolic ways, but largely because Shimousa was already a Makai Tensho homage there's no need to do it again and this story thankfully goes its own way.

Of that I had no doubt, I meant more when Saber teleports in and finishes off a combo for you and it just happens to kill someone. I will never find this out because I will never stop to check anyway so I will assume it is a mystery not for mortals such as I.

I started up a new game to see if i could figure this out, and while I couldn't get that specific event to occur in a way to confirm for certain, I'm going to assume it counts because every time Saber got the killing blow while I wasn't controlling them or using Affinity Techniques it did still count.

glocknar posted:I never knew that this was a thing, and my day is much more entertaining now that I do know oh my god it's so loving good dude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuit_conspiracy_theories#Sinking_the_Titanic quote:The theory includes the claim that Captain Edward Smith was a "Jesuit temporal coadjutor".[28] The "accidental sinking" was arranged by having Smith's "Jesuit master", Father Francis Browne, board the Titanic and order Smith to run his ship at full speed through an ice field on a moonless night, ignoring any ice warnings including those from the lookouts, with the purpose of hitting an iceberg severely enough to cause the ship to founder and the three businessmen to drown. to clarify the vocabulary word, a coadjutor is basically the vice-bishop of a diocese. they help out doing bishop things and are the designated successor if the bishop dies. "temporal", for religious contexts, means that the person involved has the position because they hold some other, usually more secular, position. something like "you're the holy roman emperor, so also you're functionally a cardinal in the church." so apparently this utterly psychotic theory is that Captain Smith was, by virtue of being Captain, a Jesuit vice-bishop, and his superior, someone who was very much NOT a bishop, ordered him to do a disaster purely so the jesuits could murder 3 bankers who were in the way of JP Morgan's globalist banking philosophy. their elimination allowed for the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank (which the House of Morgan fiercely resisted) and allowed them to incite WW1 in order to weaken government institutions and suborn them to banks. roboky and i laughed about it for 15 full minutes before a recording session once.

I'm glad you took the time to define "temporal coadjutor" because given the nature of conspiracy theories, at first blush it looked like they were suggesting that the Jesuits have Time-Cops at their disposal to cause historically relevent disasters

New Update! Episode 6 - The Victor Controls His Opponent Time to learn what all this ley-line malarky is all about. Sounds like a whole lot of not wielding swords to Iori so it might take him some time to get used to one of Edo's biggest features. But he's going to need to master it if he's going to overcome his opponents in this fierce Waxing Moon Ritual. Luckily(?) he's about to make a new friend in this particular excursion.

I know just enough about FGO to recognize the basic designs of the newest addition, but couldn't remember the name until it was mentioned. Also I think YT recommended the trailer for the first DLC earlier thanks to this. Didn't watch but I'm pretty sure I recognised the face on the thumbnail.

I already like her and fully expected the dynamic of "Aria why" followed by "Thank You Very Much Aria" just going back and forth constantly, so it's nice to hear I called that bit. Also goddamn she small.

Aria is such a goddamn treat. She is derp, helpful, and cute. The main reason she is mostly buffs instead of using that sword of hers? As shown in the anime adaptation, she wears it so its to far for her to reach the hilt! She even chases after it like a dog while making cute noises !
