They should add Odysseus and have him be basically a ripoff of Euzeth Gozzo. それも私だ!

Have to say, looking forward to getting my first Artoria tomorrow. She may be the crummiest Artoria, but Artoria will always be Artoria to me: endlessly valuable, and Lily is singularly cute. And no, none of that "Altria" rubbish for me.

Artoria Lily is still worth more than MHXA, so you can take solace in that

the character designs and sexuality in f/e ccc are incredibly interesting and the best thing nasu's ever written. im glad he decided to make an actual point. mentioning sex isn't 'exploitative.'

Freak Futanari posted:A japanese game released in March 2013 managed to reference an american indie game released in August 2013? It makes sense because the game's set in 2030. Divekick had already been a thing for a few years before its official release date.

My dude do you think a divekick was invented by that game? Are you not aware that was something being done in Kamen rider forever before that which is what it's actually a reference to?

Are you not aware that was something being done in Kamen rider forever before that which is what it's actually a reference to? To clarify: the divekicks themselves are not the reference. The reference is the NEET character playing and talking about a fighting game with only two moves, only two buttons and only two characters who are colour swaps of each other. It could be an unrelated coincidence but the timing works out to when Divekick was getting a lot of visibility in the gaming community. Mostly I just wanted something to fill out the positives column since it's slim pickings. I guess the new heroic spirits are okay but since all three of them have been in FGO for years now they don't really count as new any more.

That's a reference to the first Street Fighter which has all of those features and was infamous for the two pressure sensitive buttons the arcade cabinets had. I can guarantee you that Japan remembers this more than the American fighting game that was only brought to and given press in American tournaments and never had any Japanese publicity. Not that I'm trying to poo poo on you or anything, sorry if it comes off that way.

The funny thing is this is the thing I'm taking issue with because I agree a lot that the Sakura designs kinda suck in CCC even though I grew to like them a lot more in FGO and I get the purpose of them being that way in CCC.

Could well be OG street Fighter, yeah; I can believe I might have missed some nuance in the context.Captain Baal posted:The funny thing is this is the thing I'm taking issue with because I agree a lot that the Sakura designs kinda suck in CCC even though I grew to like them a lot more in FGO and I get the purpose of them being that way in CCC. Even if you read it generously, though, for every fetishistic aspect of CCC that has an interesting and well thought out reason for it there are three more that are completely gratuitous. It just feels wearying and it seems so unnecessary since the game does have much less exploitative vignettes (like Jinako and Karna's relationship) that tie into its themes just as well.

I played the PSP Extra and just could not enjoy the combat system at all and found the Moon Cell school a very boring setting compared to Fate-proper, so I gave up on that sub-franchise. Sexuality is a super-interesting topic but one that games rarely do well, and while I'd trust Nasu to approach it better than most god drat that is an uphill battle. like don't get me wrong I play Puzzle and Dragon so glass houses and stones etc, but some of these servants are a level beyond edit: Ashsaber posted:I do like that the Sakura clones' designs can all just be chalked up to Moon A.I.

The true sin of the CCC designs is that they're ugly not that they're booby Of course I haven't played the game so maybe Endorph will come and tell me that the ugly outfits make a deep and meaningful point

Question about CCC. Does the final boss of Extra play any important role in it? You know, to give him a bit more presence.

Twice is a secret boss in CCC with Tamamo as his servant. It explains that Tamamo was originally his servant before he become the dude who ran the Moon Cell when he was an NPC. He plays no actual role in the main story since CCC takes place on the far side of the Moon Cell where he has no real power and craziness just happens. It's the reason why Gil can be a playable servant.

It's worse than her extra outfit but better than her transformed extella outfit My main problem with it is that the top half and the bottom half feel totally mismatched. Either half is fine on its own but taken together it feels really unbalanced. Speaking of Extella, how is it? I've watched the first mission worth of cut scenes and they felt a bit dumb and pointless. Does the plot get good enough to justify playing a no-coop Dynasty Warriors clone?

playing archer in a warriors game is fun, but the plot isn't great. elizabeth gets a decent amount to do and some good lines and tamamo gets to play a little more evil but nero gets kind of flanderized and altera is just the woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorst. same with archimedes. and the rest of the cast might as well not exist.

My favorite thing about Altera is how back and forth in her lovely character gimmick they want to be and then settle on making her a non-commital version of Sakura. Then Riyo writes an infinitely better version of her in his gag comic where she flies around randomly destroying things referring to them as good and bad civilizations.

And then Nero's entire story is spent talking about how beautiful she is and making her out like she wants to gently caress her which is uuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.

Extella isn't that fun even as a plotless warriors game tbh, and the plot is bad. If you want able girls to mention how much they want to gently caress you every five lines it's good for that though
