I love that Iori has just been added to FGO and the memes about him have already started dropping.  Edit: Your commentary about Iori's teaching isn't far off based on his characterisation in FGO from what I can tell. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Glad that Boss is showing off his nicer side in this game, given that he can vary... wildly across the franchise.

The inscriptions on the dousojin just say "dousojin". Sounds goofy, but not unusual in real life, from what I can see online. In fact, the model in-game looks like it might be based specifically on one of the photos on Wikipedia.

to be fair to Coolguye, I question how many people could actually identify Ruler without prior knowledge of Fate. I feel like people may conflate his Fate lore with his actual lore.

Yeah, we'll be sure to discuss that once Coolguy manages to guess right (I have absolute faith in him (dwindling)) cause Boss is one of those characters that has been across no small number of FATE related media.

Being the stubborn idiot that I am, I did that Berserker fight as soon as it became available. On hard mode just him grabbing you for the slam dunk will take off 90% of your health, giving you an agonizingly small window to heal to full before he dunks you.

Ozymandias honestly isn't the worst guess, as he IS a Servant in the mobile game, and his general attitude and mannerisms are noted even in-universe as being vaguely similar to the Boss. He also has DIO's voice actor!

The phrase "when Grail Wars get out of hand" implies that they are at any point in-hand. This seems to be very rarely the case.

I was super tempted to do that but decided against it for the reasons you listed! Still very scary even at the point I was at, which is definitely intended.

I'm eternally amused by the idea of Boss working as an auctioneer host in barnfinders. It seems like a role he would find funny.

speaking to a friend of mine (same one from before, who's big on Fate), The One Holy Grail War That Was Normal would probably have been the first. which was a trial run. which should probably bring to mind a team of QA testers who lacked the imagination or thoroughness to catch all the bullshit the end-users would pull, once released. also, though, Rulers can end up summoned if there's nobody otherwise administrating the HGW (often it's the Church's job to do that).

You can also see a Hassan mask and a model of Zhuge Liang's noble phantasm. Tarezax fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jan 20, 2024 |

PlasticAutomaton posted:Even then it's implied the winner super cheated due to who they summoned. Nah, he just got a regular Caster who happened to be particularly awesome due to selecting a nice catalyst, not the Grand version. Granted, there were likely Caster Shenanigans because Casters always do something weird to compensate for the fact that the Knight Classes come with free magic resistance and there's like a 50/50 shot the Rider has it too.

I’m surprised Boss is willing to let you actually buy things from him. Wouldn’t selling an item imply that it now belongs to you and not to him?

Ah, but Iori is merely one of the countless vassals that Boss has whether Iori realizes it or not. Anything a vassal owns is, in the end, property of their Ruler so really all that Boss has done is redistribute his wealth. Iori has been gathering resources on his own as well so Boss is becoming infinitesimally richer with every scrap of cloth and red spider lily picked up from random spots in each town.

He gets pissed off when people steal or counterfeit his stuff, this is the first time we've seen a situation where someone just offers him a poo poo-ton of money for it. All the world's treasure is ultimately his, it's more like renting it really.

Boss getting pissed off at counterfeits is funny to me on multiple levels, both with regards to familiarity with Fate and also when I consider his source culture

New Episode! Episode 8 - Cascading Gouts of Blood Iori and Saber are ready to go investigate Yui Shousetsu's Academy, but there's someone in need of their support who will aid them in turn. They're going to need to that help as well, as the fight to reach Shousetsu's headquarters turns into quite an incredible brawl. On a personal level, I really REALLY enjoy this part of the game. A lot happens, and you're given a lot of fun new things to play with.

I appreciate that Heroic Spirits are these mighty, worldly, unflappable beings, but I feel like underneath the hypercompetent living legend facade a lot of them in situations like this are thinking "oh poo poo oh gently caress oh poo poo, who the gently caress is this new rear end in a top hat, wait there are people that can DO that!? I am so screwed oh my god"

(I'm aware that it's more complicated than that for Heroic Spirits, but it's still mostly true, barring all of Fate's little exceptions.)

Is translating the word 結界 kekkai as "bounded field" rather than the more natural "barrier" an established thing in Fate? The only other place I've ever seen that is in dodgy Touhou fan-translations from like 10 years ago.
