Omobono posted:Kojiro is low key one of my favourite bits of Fate insanity. Yeah, this random nameless farmer learned how to sword so well, he broke reality and achieved True Magic (or at least a limited facet of it but still). I never liked Kojiro's backstory. Saying that some random farmer found a katana and ran off to a mountain where he spent the rest of his life practicing with it alone without receiving any swordsmanship training or ever fighting anyone somehow managed to become an ultimate swordsman who could surpass heroes with decades of proper training and combat experience as well as break the laws of physics through trying really really hard just felt too ridiculous even by Fate standards. Vengarr posted:I guess that gets down to what Yagyu was saying--about how Musashi would never be able to face her rival, because no human could master an "infinite" sword. The one who had said that was the ghost of Arima Kihei, who was the first person Musashi ever dueled, in her trial quest. Musashi didn't need Kojiro to reach the void, since she managed that after her fight with the historically accurate old man.

Arent there plenty of heroic stories where the protagonist in question never receives training and just has god given gifts in fighting instinct.

Yes. It's really weird to see someone complain that a guy achieving great feats through sheer hard work and determination is unrealistic, when those are two of Shiro's defining characteristics that let him defeat the people he defeats in FSN. Kojiro isn't even considered a high end servant in the servant rankings and only holds his own in FSN through the fact he has stairs as a tactical advantage against a majority of his enemies.

Kojiro isn't even considered a high end servant in the servant rankings and only holds his own in FSN through the fact he has stairs as a tactical advantage against a majority of his enemies. Shirou had magic powers that he improved in order to do the things he did. And those powers gave him the weapons and strength of powerful heroes, which allowed him to go toe to toe with much more powerful enemies. As for Kojiro, he held his own because nobody every did something he had no defense against such as use a ranged attack. Even Artoria could have blown him away without a fight if she had used Invisible Air. I have to say that the idea that if you can break the laws of physics if you work hard enough does sound extremely Japanese. Aurora posted:I hate cool things That was the equivalent of saying that an ordinary dude went into a forest and practiced punching by himself until he was able to punch through tanks with no magic powers because he tried hard enough. I preferred the way they handled Musashi since she both received swordsmanship training and then actually fought against a large number of really strong opponents in order to improve (and had a magic sword that allowed her to kill supernatural entities). ChronoReverse posted:Stairs as well as Caster's magical backup along with the temple itself being unfavorable to servants forcing them to walk up the stairs. Otherwise Heracles wouldn't have been forced back. It is rather funny how Nasu realized he had overdone it when he had said that Kojiro forced Herc back in FSN and later had to come up with the explanation that Medea used gravity magic to keep Herc from advancing. After all Herc could have literally just gone up the stairs and walked past Kojiro and the latter wouldn't have been able to even scratch him. Nasu really had Herc job way too much. Another example of that was Emiya taking 5 lives during their duel in the Fate route, which makes no sense when you consider that in UBW Emiya had the time to fully charge up a powerful broken phantasm and use it to snipe Herc while he was distracted by Artoria and Herc was still able to block the attack and suffer no damage. In Fate Emiya would have had Herc in his face, giving him no time to prepare any weapons capable of harming him. I think it would have made more sense to just say that Emiya delayed Herc without killing him.

YggdrasilTM posted:Caster Gil is cool, kid Gil is somewhat cool, Archer Gil is a prick. So, I dunno about Kid Gil, but the difference in Archer and Caster is tied into his myth. Archer Gil is him in his prime, and his legend shows him as a pompous, self-absorbed rear end in a top hat who was such a hard partier that the people of Uruk begged the gods to stop him. So they send down Enkidu, who was found in the forest by a prostitute who later brought him to Uruk. When they first met they fought for a full week, then became best bros until they partied too hard, killed the wrong divine beast and the gods Killed Enkidu in retaliation. Caster Gil is him after he came back from his quest for immortality, realizing that life is fleeting and meaningful, and dedicating himself to being a king deserving of his life. He is still far from humble, but he recognizes himself and other mortals for their value and uses judgement and logic rather than pure force to solve problems. It's actually a fun contrast in their characters, I think.

There's something amusing about how FGO gave Alter forms to a lot of Servants so we could get cool evil versions of them whereas by contrast we get a good version of Gil.

YggdrasilTM posted:Caster Gil is cool, kid Gil is somewhat cool, Archer Gil is a prick. It's not just that. Gil was cartoonishly evil in FSN and they dialed it back significantly in his later portrayals, such as CCC, once they realized how popular he was. To justify that shift they came up with the rationalization that he was so evil in FSN because he hated capitalism: quote:Interview summary: "Apparently Gil's personality is heavily influenced by the era he's summoned into. He was a jerk in FSN because the world (his property) was being sullied by the consumption society of the early 2000s, which rubbed him the wrong way. He's taken a liking to the virtual world of 2032, though, so his personality is more stable and closer to how he actually was in life. Wada says he reminds her a little of Hollow Ataraxia Gil."

Factor_VIII posted:I agree that Artemis as a character in FGO is an abortion. DW took a fierce, harsh and untamed virgin goddess and turned her into a retarded bimbo who spends all her time chasing after a man. If anything, her looks and personality would fit more with Aphrodite who had relatively large breasts and slept around.

so i fell down a rabbit hole of reading about the characters in this and, as someone who's pretty familiar with Type-Moon stuff but had been avoiding this poo poo, this game sounds loving batshit bonkers Kiritsugu's back, he's an Assassin Servant, and he's super loving creepy-looking? there's apparently enough different alternate OG Sabers that you could fill a baseball team? Rin and Sakura got possessed by ancient goddesses and are now sorta-kinda Servants? there's yet another EMIYA and he's even edgier than the original and also, apparently, a black guy? apparently Saber Alter is back, but she's chill now, and there's an event where she's goddamn Santa Claus for some reason? what the gently caress is going on in this game?  is this, like, actually a fun game? because if it is i might get over my gacha aversion and deep-dive this bullshit

So disliking what Fate did with a mythological figure means that I hate women? Amazing, your deductive reasoning would leave Sherlock Holmes in awe. And what's cool is in the eye of the beholder. Factor_VIII fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Nov 21, 2019 |
