He's not a particularly good writer but he's really drat good at worldbuilding so he's the Japanese Brian Herbert

For non-FGO talk, I finally went back and watched the final few episodes of Unlimited Blade Works, and I found it very enjoyable, especially since I could just watch one episode right after the other and not have to wait a week.

I vaguely recall a moonspeaker saying that Nasu tends to write, like, not complicated, but fancy, with a certain sense of poetry to the narration that got totally butchered in the translation.

BlitzBlast posted:All I really remember being unique about Nasu's writing is that the man is a real fan of the dramatic. This dude did not just turn around, he spun his body around faster than anyone in the world has ever or will ever be capable of...! This is the kind of feeling I got. The "Japanese e e cummings" quote was probably a bit of an exaggeration. I'm not sure if it's because it's objectively good writing, or perhaps more likely just because I'm a big nerd, but I eat that kind of poo poo up. Scenes like that which stick out in my mind as cool as gently caress are (F/HA spoilers) the climax of F/HA when Saber uses Excalibur on the shadow monsters trying to climb the building or (F/SN Heaven's Feel spoilers) Shirou killing Berserker alter with his own sword. The relative lack of writing like that in Tsukihime may be part of why I didn't enjoy it as much as the Fate series. There are some examples of what I think are legitimately good writing, though, like the occasional really clever use of furigana over normally unrelated kanji, or (more F/HA spoilers) when Avenger was possessing Shirou, his first person pronoun was written as オレ instead of 俺. I didn't notice that happening until the very end, and when I did finally figure it out, the realization hit me like a loving ton of bricks.

There are things about his prose I like, and he's improved a lot in his writing overall since FSN, but it's his character writing and world building that have always been his strongest points. Regarding the latter, he feeds you just enough technical detail to serve the purpose of the narrative, while leaving space for the reader to fill in the blanks on their own eg the specifics of magecraft/magic, the grail system, mystic eyes etc. He also doesn't mind being flexible about "canon" if it serves the story better to ignore it, which he's talked about indirectly before. Anyways, have some out of context bits from Mahoyo that I liked

Character and world building is what attracted me most to Type-Moon stuff. You get a sense of everyone as a character no matter how major or minor and what their place is in the TM universe.

So there isn't much info on the current event on either Cirnopedia or the FGO wiki, could anyone who understands moonrunes give the rest of us a short rundown?

This twitter account gives info in English as it comes out. Looks like a do quests to get items sort of event, with different classes giving more of certain items, and new CEs that also give item bonuses. One new servant mentioned, Jeanne Alter, but she's just through the limited time gacha.

A gacha that boosts the rate of one servant and three craft essences must be some kind of sick joke. I am buried in Kuzukis right now.

It's a really good servant and those CE boost drop rate though.

Thank god for this event. For some reason Memu crashes on me when the EXP hands attack or get hit, so this event is a life saver.

If you're having problems with MEMU, go in the options and assign it more memory. That clears up my problems.

I did everything to set it up, gave it the max amount of memory and cpu allocation, and even that virtualization poo poo. Its given me no other problems at all. But for some reason just the gold EXP hands cause it to crash every time.

Anybody want a decent-ish FGO account? I'm too busy to play lately and there is a lack of desire to play as well so I figure I might as well pass it off to someone who wants it for free. If anybody is interested, then I'll get myself Platinum and PM the details of the account. Those are just a portion of the things I have. All Quartz have already been rolled off, so expect to start saving from scratch. edit: welp. foiled. i wanted to get Platinum early anyway, but there is this: "SA Forums Store: The SA Store is currently closed pending migration to new systems. It should be back up sometime after 10PM CST." BurningDance fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Apr 12, 2016 |
