FractalSandwich posted:Not knowing anything about this game or Fate in general: you can tell Saber's from a long time ago even by Edo standards just by looking at her. The sword on her back (not the one she fights with, which goes way off into fantasy land) is straight rather than curved, and I'm not an expert on historical Japanese fashion, but her clothes look much older to me, too. I noticed that right away, but I thought I might be reading too much into it. I always feel a little silly paying attention to details like that in a game with wizards and magical laser beams in it. It's never really outright stated in-game but according to interviews with Nasu iirc Saber is nonbinary I've noticed a lot of people assuming they're female from their appearance and voice but Saber's manner of speech is pretty masculine, and young men being voiced by women is pretty common in anime. No harm no foul as the ambiguity seems intended. Tarezax fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Dec 15, 2023 |

By the way, Saber pacing around Iori at the beginning of episode 2 is a reference to the first episode of the Fate/Zero anime, where two characters similarly deliver exposition to another character about the rules of the Holy Grail War while pacing in a circle.

Quick and dirty Saber speech pattern analysis: personal pronoun is "watashi" - technically gender neutral but leans feminine in casual speech since dudes tend to lean strongly into "boku" or "ore" uses "kimi" to refer to "you" - gender neutral, indicates that the speaker believes themselves to be of equal or higher status than those spoken to uses -zo as a sentence ender for emphasis - leans masculine iirc but not as much as -ze uses some archaic word choices such as "yoi" instead of "ii" - meant to emphasize that Saber is from an older time period I think Saber's general manner of speech is also indicative of nobility rather than samurai, as opposed to Iori's (and Yui's, incidentally) samurai speech style Tarezax fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 19, 2023 |

On the Kaminarimon - the area is definitely still called Asakusa. Asakusa Station is literally a block away from that gate

Everyone who plays FGO at that moment: Hell yeah! Everyone else: Huh? What the gently caress?

One small detail of note is that at the end of the previous episode, Takao Dayu spoke rather formally in a courtesan dialect. For this conversation, she's entirely dropped it and speaks casually.

Jossar posted:Funny that you guys talked about Makai Tensho, as the Fate universe has a pretty complete homage to it (in Fate/Grand Order), right down to the main villain wielding DARK JESUIT SORCERY. Pretty sure none of it's going to apply to this story directly though. There is exactly one thing from that story that is relevant here and that is that Musashi was in it Edit: FGO does not have Yagyu Jubei (yet...) but it does have his far less well-known father, who also appears in that story segment Tarezax fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Jan 5, 2024 |

Be doubly careful as the FGO collab event with Fate/Samurai Remnant is coming out soon. They revealed the gacha lineup for the collab and it has a bunch of spoilers

Runa posted:Coolguy's two guesses thus far were the most natural one could have without context, I think I think there's one very important bit of context that he missed that might get some more accurate guesses In other news, as an FGO player I absolutely got triggered by the Saint Quartz showing up in Boss's shop. 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 |

FractalSandwich posted:That's very interesting. I think that use and the use by Touhou fans must have a common origin somewhere, because it's a very strange turn of phrase, and it's hard to imagine two different translators coming to it independently. That origin is probably the original Fate/Stay Night fan translation 20 years ago

I would like to say that Bart is a fan of hair over eyes regardless of gender. His Valentine's gift to the player is a set of wigs with bangs that cover one eye, one for the female player and one for the male player

While this may be Caster's first direct appearance, he has shown up in another capacity already, which the astute viewer may have picked up on. He's the narrator for the recap segments in between chapters.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:An important detail you missed out on the Servantverse is that not only Heroic Spirits can exist permanently as a Servant... EVERYONE is a Servant. Even the random Joe over there. Everyone is superhuman and can come back from death cause they're spirit beings. And the best part? According to Nasu's cosmology, this is one of humanity's good ends.The Star Wars parody is what we should strive for (because we got out of Mama Earth's basement and surpassed death). The Dead Man's Hand comes from Bill Hickock, who is alleged to have had a romance with Calamity Jane. Servants borrowing powers from people linked with them is actually pretty commonplace in Fate.

Dr. Snark posted:FGO's events are by far the peak of the Nasuverse's stupidity in all the best ways. The Servantverse has been detailed already, but other highlights include (and are not limited to): - Literally Comiket, in Hawaii. But with a 7 day timeloop until the protagonist's circle can make the best selling work at the convention.

FGO is a game where Jeanne d'Arc can become an Archer by shooting dolphins, class rules are mere suggestions
