Sophism posted:Not really relevant though, since the end result is still that Gudao looks like a completely generic design straight out of a harem visual novel, whereas Gudako's design has actual personality. That's just redhead bias.

Factor_VIII posted:The MC would need to be extremely manipulative to manage something like that and I imagine that since Servants can interact in Chaldea they'd be able to figure out that Ritsuka was being a massive hypocrite. That would have made for a much more unique protagonist, but since Ritsuka is deliberately designed to be as bland and inoffensive as possible there's no way they'd run with it.

Its a fun idea, and the adaptations all completely fail to engage with it. Maybe Ritsuka is living like a dating sim protagonist who tries to max everyone's affection gauges.

Kyte posted:A little while after part 1 ended, back in February 2017, DW issued a survey to their players. Among other questions, one was "which kind of media would you like FGO to expand to in the future". Another question was "which were your favorite chapters". I guess I'm still a little surprised though because it seems to run counter to a how a lot of other animes function from what I understand, where say some light novel series or something will get a single cour anime adaptation that effectively only exists as an extended commercial to get people to buy the light novel source material. Babylonia on the other hand starts with Episode 0 that I have to imagine alienated some newbies upfront that are coming to this from Zero or ufotable's UBW/Heaven's Feel adaptations or whatever.

FGO is just kind of weird in how we ended up at this point. It had a bad start, game devs and Nasu actively worked to make it better and ad a result there's actual story chapters worth some substance and adaptation. I'm not entirely sure what makes FGO that alienating aside from the fact that it's a gacha, but it's been around long enough that a little bit of digging tells what it's all about even without playing.

The fact the anime begins with arc before the finale and doesn't really bother to bring audience up to speed with story so far? Even Naruto would be alienating if the anime adaption began with second to last arc and didn't bother to explain poo poo.

Fate doesn't really need an anime commercial like random LN #486, it's already huge. So an anime that's just the parts people liked, that also pushes merch, is totally fine and safe.

A Bystander posted:I cleared Shimousa! Aside from the last few bosses, the fighting was middling to annoying. The whole climax worked out perfectly and the end of it almost made me cry a little. I'm waiting for Salem now. Just finished it up a few hours ago too. I feel the same way about it, and I found the ending surprisingly touching. I did have to Google quite a few characters that showed up, but hey, I ended up learning about some Japanese history so that's not bad. The battles were fair enough, but I gave up on trying to get the bond bonus for the boss duels.

The bond bonus is a trap when you consider that you get 99% of your bond comes from farming, its like the people that try and bring three bond bonus ces to every boss fight and lucksack through.

Haha yeah, those people are silly, heh, w-why would anyone ever do that... Seriously though getting big meaty 3.5K bond points feels good. Especially if you're bringing in a new character and can actively see the gems getting filled up.

i'll always CLT story nodes but yeah the bond bonus stuff has been stupid to me since they introduced it in shinjuku, definitely at its worst in shimosa. at least salem gives a nice bump to the support casters you're dragging along for non-caster dps. looking to get my casgil bumped a ways up his 7th bond level.

A while ago someone posted about how a lot of fans were open to crossovers with different non-Nasu IPs, and one that was brought up was BlazBlue. I had been thinking about this on and off for quite a while, so, uh, here's my (probably really badly balanced) idea for a BlazBlue Servant: Ragna the Bloodedge 5* Saber QAABB MediumHP/HighATK NP: Black Onslaught [Arts]: Deal significant damage to one enemy [level], with a chance of inflicting instant death [overcharge, 50-150%] and restore health [3000] for self. Skill 1: Blood Kain: Increase own damage by [10-20%], and add chance [20-40%] to reduce opponent's charge by 1 to each attack, and heal self for [5-10%] of damage dealt, only against [non-undead] enemies, all for three turns. Reduce own health by [2500-1500] per turn at the start of the turn, for three turns [demerit]. Cooldown 7-5 Skill 2: Idea Engine: Improve own Arts effectiveness and NP Gain when attacking by [20-30%] for three turns. Increase own NP gauge by [5-15%] each turn for three turns. Cooldown 8-6 Skill 3: Azure Grimoire: Gain 10 critical stars. Apply Pierce Invuln and Sure Hit to self for one turn. Increase own NP strength and Crit Strength by [5-15%] for one turn. Remove damage cut buffs from all enemies (not defense buffs). Increase NP guage of all allies by [5-15%] Cooldown 12-10 Passives: At the Boundary D: Apply Death immune. Increase Charm Resist by 40%. 2% chance to inflict instant death on each attack. Magic Resistance E: Increase Debuff Resist by 10% Existence Outside the Domain E: Gain 2 Critical Stars per turn. Increase Debuff Resist by 2% Logic is mostly the progression of his powers through his series, his gameplay in his home series, and working together with Tamamo. Blood Kain encourages you to be aggressive with him, as popping it and then not attacking means you lose a bunch of health, probably like 2/3s of his total at level 1, a bit less at higher levels. It is also pretty much his only form of sustain. The whole only effective against non-undead enemies is based on how it works in his series as well. Idea Engine is meant to encourage you to use him like you would in his home games: building and burning meter rapidly. Therefore pump his NP gain like mad and entourage you to fire off his NP ASAP to use the color boost and get a big refund. Azure Gimoire is a bit of a thing. Based mostly on the fact that he is now a servant who was known to have 'the Azure Grimoire' in life, even if it wasn't quite what it was made out to be, I figured I would give him the real thing, or at least my approximation. The Azure of his home series is, to my knowledge, basically something like a holy grail that can grant any wish, and in a lesser fashion create possibilities, which is what I'm going with. So I took Voyager of the Stars and applied more effects so it would be a massive power boost for a moment that could probably turn just about any battle around. For his Passives, the low Magic Resist is based on him being a Saber (high natural resist) while having his own problems (attacks outside of logic are hard for him to heal), so the lowest possible level it was. At the Boundry was just to good to pass up, based on his reaper theme and the fact that the Azure is within 'the Boundry'. I couldn't pass it up. Existence Outside the Domain was based on what happens to him at the end of his own story. Maybe inappropriate usage, but I felt it may work. Mostly I based everything around building and using meter, living fast and aggressively and riding around with Tamamo OG due to the Amaterasu angle. I probably over tuned it but eh, I'm no game designer.

The only problem I have with crossovers is that there are still dozens and dozens of awesome historical figures and time periods to chose from. They shouldn't be hurting for ideas. Related: I rolled my eyes at all the "dark Jesuit sorcery" in Shimousa, but then I looked and it turns out there actually is a book of Jesuit black magic. Apparently they were super into studying magic and witchcraft. Never say that Fate isn't educational.

I think it's more that FGO spurs my interest in historical figures rather than outright teaching me. Surprisingly, I've found it similar to the Civ franchises in that both games feature historical figures with gameplay aspects that reflect their actual histories. Very few other games have been responsible for me wasting an hlur or two in a Wikipedia dive.

One of things I like most about Fate and FGO is those small little details that are actually historically accurate and so many of those are littered throughout the series. Like how Jaguarman really was a dude depicted in a jaguar pelt or that board game in the Babylonia anime is an actual thing. Or how the first ED in Fate/Zero were illustrations based on the actual art of that Servant cast. It's the little things.Lt. Lizard posted:The fact the anime begins with arc before the finale and doesn't really bother to bring audience up to speed with story so far? Even Naruto would be alienating if the anime adaption began with second to last arc and didn't bother to explain poo poo. I get the comparison, but it's not a very good one.
