Should I describe the difference between Magecraft and Magic, or would that be spoilers?

TheLastRoboKy posted:I kinda already did in the first episode. It's very much the shortest explanation possible when I did it but honestly the game never goes into the big weird stuff like The Root and so forth. You talk about the difference in methodology, my understanding is that the key difference is that Magecraft is the art of the possible whereas Magic does things that are explicitly impossible. Magecraft will teleport you to another city. You could have walked there (or taken a ship etc). You didn’t, but you could have. The Kaleidoscope will teleport you to places that don’t even exist.

Fate is a gacha game now. Waifus are compulsory. (I mean they started well before that, but that's just Nasu)

Assuming of course they weren't an incomprehensible mess of violence before Mad Enhancement.

NGDBSS posted:One thing I've been wondering about Saber is why her sword has that wavy/flame-bladed motif. Isn't that primarily a thing with archipelagic SE Asia, eg the kalis or the keris? Also central europe, though only for a relatively brief period.

...that is actually a very valid application of the Rider class.

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’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?

So it is an official mechanic that giving Aria a piggyback ride is faster than normal running?

IIRC, a 'three-body sword' is one that has been tested to cut through three bodies in a single strike. Apocryphally this testing was conducted using criminals, it is much more likely that rolled tatami mats were used to simulate bodies.

TheLastRoboKy posted:Certainly makes sense! Still not as impressive as "Boneless Human" though. Yeah it's a good sword, an excellent sword even, but it's not a legendary sword. It's "a" three-body sword rather than "the" something-or-other.

Asterite34 posted:-While it might seem strange that Archer wouldn't recognize Servant Cao Cao right in front of him, it is not uncommon for Servants to look wildly different from how they looked in life, partly from a Servant usually only containing and highlighting certain aspects of a Hero's legend, and partly from being warped by later mythology distorting peoples' perception of them. There's some WILD looking Servants out there, which I won't give examples of in case they get selected for the Guess the Hero segment later. I’m looking at YOU, Leonardo

They really should be more careful with those things.

Bear in mind that summoning servants is a gacha. You can use catalysts to try and influence the pull but ultimately you get whoever the Grail feels like giving you, as whatever class they need to be to make this War have a full set and no duplicates.

Note that Tsukihime, while broadly 'Nasuverse', takes place in a different 'branch' of reality than the FATE franchise. As I understand it (and please correct me) in Fate it is a fundamental truth of reality that Humans Are Important, which limits the power and importance of things like dead apostles (which still exist, they're just less important).
