Rodyle posted:TA is a classic example of a character who is cheaply hyped up by coming in during the 3rd act and taking out all the other characters shown to be tough up to that point. The other two HF exclusive enemies are like that too, but TA is the worst.

The best part of Carnival Phantasm is the Alleyway Alliance. It is my greatest lamentation in life that I can't find any way of getting their pose animation to fit SA avatar restrictions. But yeah, that first episode was really good, especially for something that was 99% set-up. Endorph fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Oct 2, 2011 |

The game thing is kinda wonky but does it seriously ruin the show to you? EDIT: And yeah, Rin explicitly states that the stats thing is just a way of making things simple for the person reading the book thing that shows them. Shirou's a nerd, and most people reading the VN probably understand RPG stats, so that's the way things go. Endorph fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Oct 4, 2011 |

Absolutely none of the RPG stuff comes up in Fate/Zero, yeah. The classes are literally the only thing, and while it's kinda wonky if you think about it for too long it at least makes sense in-universe.

Just so you guys know, power level debates are basically the same as the guys on the Gamefaqs board asking who'd win in a fight, Goku or Superman. There's far more interesting things to discuss than hypothetical fights between anime characters.

Yeah, I've always kind of liked Zouken. I can see where the people who thought he was uninteresting in F/SN were coming from, but iunno, he had clear motives, a weird sort of old-man charisma, and Got poo poo Done. Way more than you could say for, say, Shinji.

Rodyle posted:Because it's the same punchline over and over, and it wasn't even funny the first time. It's never a good setup, it makes no real use of Sion or Riez, and it's just generally lazy. If this is what Japanese standup is actually like I weep for that country Also Carnival Phantasm overdid some jokes (The Volleyball episode was kind of awful, save for Len's castle in the background) but stuff like the Holy Grail Game Show made up for it.

WickedIcon posted:Yeah, I just double-checked it with the LP. Me dumb. And Fate/Extra plays like Persona in a lot of ways, but the combat is pretty much glorified Rock Paper Scissors. It's a fun little diversion, even if I barely understood what was going on due to my Japanese skills being non-existent, but I'd only buy it if you really love Type-Moon stuff, and with the knowledge that you're playing it for the story and not the gameplay.

F/UC is a fighting game. It's not an overly good one, in terms of playing in competitively or looking at it objectively, but pretty much every character in the game is completely broken if you know how to do combos, meaning it's great to goof around with in practice mode, or with friends. Basically, it's a decent fighter but the world's best training mode.

I was going to make a "Saber she is a married woman stop that." joke but uh. Huh. Jokes aside, I could see how you would read the scene that way maybe, but there's a difference between "It's sorta kinda there if you squint" and "GRR YURI FANSERVICE!"

Well, I imagine everyone in the war (except Mr. Killing Is Just a Fun Game, mostly because I don't think he knows that there's a war at all) knows Kiritsugu is in it, because he's being supported by the Einzberns, and is also the Magus Killer. They probably don't know what servant he summoned, though. At least not yet.

Yeah, I think the only thing that'd end the curse would be Lancer's defeat. Or maybe the destruction of the spear. Depending on how long Lancer stays in the game, that could be a big problem. Speaking of Lancer staying in the game, "I must be pretty damned good." You are just the coolest, aren't you, Lancer?

Also I don't think that's mentioned in the games. At all. Saber mentions most of her subjects thought she was a man, but I don't think she adds "because of my schlong."

Well, Saber gave Caster her identity because he told her hers. Nobody in F/SN outright told her their identity, right? She figured out Chulainn's based on his weapon, but that isn't the same as telling her outright. EDIT: Also Yeah, that episode of Carnival Phantasm... there were some funny jokes but for the most part it was just kinda awkward. vv Oh, I forgot that. But still, that only helps my point, right? It's consistent across Zero and Stay Night. Endorph fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Nov 5, 2011 |

I think something else mentioned in F/SN is the more general the command, the less powerful it is. So "Come save me!" results in teleportation, but something like "Win the Grail War" would basically result in no bonus whatsoever. e;fb
