I sincerely doubt DW cares too much about ruffling feathers when creating their Pseudo-Servants, regardless of it being culturally insensitive or tone-deaf.

While Ishtar and Ereshkigal aren't relevant in religious terms anymore, Parvati most certainly is and they had no problems assigning purple-haired Boudica Sakura to the role.

But Parvarti is still Parvarti, the goddess as a character.

Waver is not Zhuge Liang at all. That's a major difference.

The event ends tomorrow evening (US) if you chow down on apples and really spend some time you can probably get finish a good chunk and at least get Chloe, her ascension items, and maybe a few NP level ups, but a total clear seems extremely unlikely.

You need about 1500 ap to do it optimally just to get chloe and her ascension materials.

I finally finished London after being sidetracked by all the shenanigans and goings-on of events. I quite liked it. I wish I could have taken Mordred home, too. Maybe one day, God willing on a rate-up.

I finally got around to watching Kara no Kyoukai and it is nice to see what they pulled from the series for the collab event. Now I can see what the deal was with the map we had. And of course the music was fantastic. It was a kinda cool to see all the early concepts of what makes up the "rules" of FSN. Maybe I'll waste some quartz on Saber Shiki when the re-run comes around. Or just buy that ridiculously expensive box set. Aniplex pricing! :argh:

Funny story, there actually was some Indian politician or something that somehow heard about FGO and got angry about Parvati being treated like a "servant". Nobody really cared, but the headlines did make it back to Japan.

You'll get complaints from the other side if Waver was not Waver, the same way people complained a lot about Ishtar not being Rin. Pseudo-Servants, by design, seem to piss people off.

There's about as much story confliction with Waver being in a Chinese centric story as there is with Billy the Kid fighting in the American Revolution with a British Nurse in Colorado. In other words, none at all.

I feel like there's a difference between Billy the Kid, the historical figure from America, being himself, an American, in a story that might involve characters from other cultures, versus Zhuge Liang, a historical figure from China, being represented in game by a fictional british guy and never getting a single line of dialogue of his own.

I proudly use my Level 90 Santa Alter on JP and grailing her to 90 was a good idea because she's a good Servant. :colbert:

Class banners confirmed to fill the space between Prisma and Nerofes. For those who don't know, each day will alternate between the different classes, and on that day you can only roll Servants of that class during their rate-up.

no bedivere for NA though, rip dreams

Watch them put Sola-Ui in as a Grainne pseudo-Servant.

"Gráinne’s character is always drawn with consistency in the myths. She is a shallow person, wilful, ruthless and passionate, and what in modern terms would be described as a neurotic."

Perfect!
