Nasu it's ok to have your Western character's names be like...James, or John, or Jorge, or even Pierre. They don't have to literally all be nonsense word salad.

To be fair, Akuta isn't a real Japanese name either. It's literally the kanji for "garbage" which is...inauspicious?

Beryl Gut is not a crazy name, though the romanization people were using of "Beryl Gat" back when these names were first being given to us was definitely much better. Daybit and Wodime's names hold a special place in my heart alongside Altria and whatever the gently caress Sola-Ui's full name is supposed to be for awful Type-Moon names that can go to hell.

Daybit Sem Void is amazing and further increases my love for the stout boy

Akuta is her family name, Hinako is her given one.

Though Hinako is written in katakana which is a little bizarre as it's definitely a common Japanese female name?

IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S DIFFERENT

So for dealing with Gawain I know it was recommended that I use Euryale but would Robin Hood still work okay as I already have him up to 40 compared to a flat 1 with her.

Uh, whichever one you end up using you'll want them to be at level 70. From 40 to 70 isn't much less work than from 1 to 70 emberwise.

The reason Euryale is the best for this is not only because she does big damage to dudes, it's also because she charms them so they can't fight back. Robin may do the damage but he won't keep Gawain from killing your party.

Probably won't hurt, but I don't think he's as effective. I think Euryale's anti-male modifier just skyrockets her damage in a way that Robin's poison doesn't.

I still have no idea how to say Nrvnqsr.

Honestly names that are hard to spell or pronounce should be against the rules.

:eng101: This is actually a slight misspelling of "Nron Qsr", which is "Nero Caesar" using the Hebrew Alphabet. So his name doesn't come from nothing. Apparently Nasu was looking up the origins of the "Number of the Beast" (666), and saw a name he could use for a villain, but swapped out a letter.

Just finished the Prologue and I'm preeetty pumped about how will the story develop from now on. While I'm trying to stay away from spoilers, some of them, like the fact that Kotomine Kirei himself appears and gets involved into plot of FGO were pretty much impossible to avoid, which is a pity. I would really like to be there at the initial reveal to see all the "Aww hell naw! Everything is hosed now!" Reactions from FSN players

According to wikipedia:

quote:

"Neron Kaisar" (the Greek rendering, documented by archaeological finds), when transliterated into Hebrew נרון קסר (Nrwn Qsr) had a number of 666.
Assume there was a bit of confusion from the U/V merger that happens in greek texts?

fwiw JP's GSSR has been announced: Limited servants only on class-based banners. Main seven classes are all separate while Avengers/Rulers and Alterego/Moon Cancer/Foreigner share banners. still costs 15sq and nets you an 11-roll due to the anniversary update

they're also rerunning Sparrow's Inn from Jan 4 - Jan 18

details about NY campaigns and the new servant being held until the actual NY stream
