I mean, Sanson is cool and you're not the only one who pours love into him since I have an acquaintance who's been puttin grails into him because they love the character. For Caster Gilles, I have a ton of gold casters in JP so... if I ever get him to NP5, eh. Merlin and Tamamo are my prize ponies, not him Compendium fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Dec 31, 2017 |

If I ever see a grailed lvl 100, NP5 Caster Gilles in either JP or NA I will screenshot it and give credit where credit is due Someone's probably done it in JP, I haven't seen it yet

Did players in japan realize just how utterly broken Merlin was at his initial release and whale like crazy for him or did it take a while for people to notice?

His NP used to have a heal Think about that. This loving meta defining servant's NP on top of having NP gain over turns, a regen, and gains stars all of them for 5 loving turns and this NP is very easy to cycle and stack the skills again, also had a heal. For 3k

[quote="“Captain Baal”" post="“479791048”"] His NP used to have a heal Think about that. This loving meta defining servant’s NP on top of having NP gain over turns, a regen, and gains stars all of them for 5 loving turns and this NP is very easy to cycle and stack the skills again, also had a heal. For 3k [/quote] After the depressing lineup of failure that was the chapter 6 story supports, where everyone was underleveled and only available for fights they weren’t useful in, i was happy to have a story buddy who gave me 200 fp a pip AND made the entire thing comparatively easy I don’t think he had his third skill for most of it though, but even without it he would have been shockingly amazing, the fact that it’s the best skill in the game is just candy

I can understand the other two but why Mash? If it's just feeding Lalter with stars then Okita or Jack would be better if support Waver doesn't have 2030 on.

JP Spoilers. Major flashbacks to NERV getting slaughtered by the UN in Evangelion. Also, I liked that Gordolf turned out to not be a bad guy and we saved him and now he'S the driver. That was cool.

Thank god for this beastly level 100 Gil carrying me through expert saber training grounds. I need a whole lot of archer pieces to get Robin/Euryale to higher levels to make this faster but that'll be in another day.

So any idea who the new servants are? We know Anastasia already from the in game text but what about the others? The only ones I can take a gander at are Sword guy and spear gal. Sword guy is definitely Arabian in influence, so probably someone like Sinbad. Spear gal confuses me because the most likely option already exists in a different form. The moment I saw her, Hyppolita came to mind because she looks like a horse and the etymology behind her name. Her shield and spear also look contemporary to that period (if stylized a little) Plus her sister is already in game and also has white hair

We already know Abe no Semei, from Shimosa. And top hat + knife girl might be Lizzie Borden.

Cao Ni Ma posted:So any idea who the new servants are? Sword guy is like 90% someone Chinese based on the design of those swords. I don't actually believe that Caster is Anastasia. She violates the long-standing rule that Heroic Spirits were not created after the 19th Century, and I don't trust Kirei of all people to be freely using his Servant's true name. Lancer is 100% for sure greek based on those weapons, and the horse ears she's got immediately brought to mind Atalanta's lion bits. Look for a greek hero that was turned into an animal. This notion of the Apocryphal Belt, the fact that it's apparently something outside normal history (and implicitly the normal multiverse as defined by the Kaleidoscope and the Quantum Time Locks) and Servants that come from it being inherently stronger than any normal servants is very odd. They might not play by the rules of the normal Throne of Heroes, in which case Caster might be Anastasia because she's not bound by those rules, or it could still be a smokescreen and she's someone else under a fake name. gently caress I hope she's not Anastasia, if we have a confirmed 100% 20th Century Servant then the loving floodgates open for World War 1 and 2 wank to ruin the setting. Can I not be free from Hitler in any fiction?

I don't think there's going to be a Ruler Hitler servant, you weirdo.

Endorph posted:Anastasia lived and died while Tesla and Edison were alive. I guess you could say they were born in the 19th century, but still. Not just those two. Every Servant who lived any part of their life in the 20th century was born in the 19th, with the exception of Emiya. Van Braunn and Neil Armstrong were mentioned in Extra, but the Moon Cell runs on different rules than the Throne. If she's really Anastasia, she will be the very first one to break an otherwise ironclad rule. If you'll indulge a brief rant/whine: Even if official sources never go there (which is far from certain), if there's nothing to stop it the fan communities will never not go there. 20th Century History looms too large in the popular conscious regardless of its true relative importance. The fact that Fate was ostensibly free of it because of one simple rule was nice, that all you had to do to dampen the obnoxious discussion of what Stalin or Reagan or Nixon or (Famous Nazi X) or (other obnoxious overplayed 20th Century Historical Figure) Noble Phantasm would be was say "nope, 20th century." I will continue to hope this will not be undone, that Nasu will be typical Nasu and ensure there is a twist so what we assumed based on being told to our faces about this villain is entirely wrong in the end.

Some pics on the New Year's stream showed dates associated with the upcoming chapters. I googled some historical events I think are almost certainly relevant based on those years. 1) 1570 AD - The reign of Ivan the Terrible and the Russo-Turkish War 2) 1000 BC - The end of the Viking Age and the start of the Christianization of the Norse 3) 210 BC - The death of the first Emperor of China, and conflict over who would take the throne (alternatively: the military campaigns of Hannibal Barca) 4) ??11900 -  5) 12000 BC - ????? (Prehistoric civilization cryptohistory is a possibility, such at Atlantis) 6) 500 AD - The supposed reign of King Arthur

12000 BC is significant to Fate because that's the year Velbar descended and got defeated by Altria's glowstick
