Something I will learn to play if possible

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention about the most recent episode: The scene with Angra Mainyu taking the form of Irisviel strikes me as an attempt to reconcile the line in the VN about Kiritsugu leaving his daughter and wife behind in the castle with Zero. It also helps explain why Ilya is so angry at Kiritsugu, instead of blaming Acht for everything.

It is a nice aspect of the adaption, especially now, that they can fix somethings for consistency. Just me, or would cellphones ruin the plot at some points?

I can't really think of any plot point that would be ruined by cell phones. Plus, them having cell phones would mean that Rin would have to use technology, which we know is impossible.

Mind, this works a bit better and makes it more clear, but I don't remember it feeling like a plot hole at all (at least, not the "why is Ilya pissed" part. Obviously the whole leaving wife thing was a plot hole).

Oh my god, finally finished Seorin's LP. I'm ready for the movie now. Saber and Shirou/Archer meeting in Avalon was nice. ![]() e: I did a cursory google search, is there not yet a LP somewhere by someone for Hollow Ataraxia? I don't really have the time to play the game when not at work. ![]() Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Apr 21, 2015 |

The game was translated pretty recently, so not yet. To be honest, I don't see it happening.

I'm still playing Hollow/Ataraxia, the Caster sequences are the best.

Would Hollow Ataraxia be grandfathered in on the LP subforum since F/sn got a LP? I know there's a no-porn-game rule but Type Moon stuff seems to have never been an issue for that.

Is the Heaven's Feel reference in the Fate anime Archer vs. Berserker fight when Archer throws his swords like a boomerang, him losing feeling in his left arm or both?

Raenir Salazar posted:Is the Heaven's Feel reference in the Fate anime Archer vs. Berserker fight when Archer throws his swords like a boomerang, him losing feeling in his left arm or both? I think the Heaven's Feel reference was more the confirmation that Sakura and Rin are sisters, and Zouken's very brief cameo.

The throwing the swords like a boomerang was a HF reference yea, it was taken from the one dead end where Shirou fights Dark Saber without Rider. Basically that whole invented subplot with Sakura near the end was as well.

That said, nothing stopping you from playing the game yourself. Hell, the game's even nice enough to sequester off the sex scenes. Well, except what I presume has to be the worst one. Why.

That is indeed funny, but I'm so confused at the rather inconsistent art quality. Ilya and Goku are drawn okay, the rest are weird. Tracing? e: Reading the wiki, anyone know an instance of where Shirou would stand aside and watch you destroy yourself if he felt you brought it upon yourself? I can't really think of one other than not showing any concern to save any of the other Servants or Masters; and why he wouldn't get along with Shiki?

"Who would win in a fight" battles exist in a magical land where things like personalities, motivations, or common sense don't matter. AKA fighting games. BlitzBlast fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Apr 21, 2015 |

He wouldn't get along with Shiki because Shiki is an rear end in a top hat. I imagine Shirou would stand aside and let someone die if it was a situation where he was willing to kill them (like with Kirei in Fate), but only then. He even tried to stop Kuzuki from getting himself killed by Archer. Edit: He did stand by and let Rin kill Sakura in Mind of Steel, of course.

Raenir Salazar posted:That wasn't my question. You were asking about the accepted conclusion of Shirou vs Shiki and wondering whether Shirou would actually just let a guy suicide. The answer is that it's a "who would win in a fight" battle, so it doesn't matter.

You misread; those were two separate questions. See Silver's response.

Twiddy posted:Her magic is literally entirely based on precious gems, hell yeah she cares about money. I can't remember where I read it, but I remember hearing somewhere that in between Zero and Stay Night, Kotomine embezzled most of the Tohsaka inheritance (since he was guardian of Rin at the time), resulting in Rin's being even more exceptionally sensitive to the financial side of her magic. MonsieurChoc posted:I don't know why, but I was under the impression Illya was the one who created Seylla and Leysritt. I don't remember the details of their creation, but I remember from HA that Liz is linked to some extent with Ilya, and transforms into the "Dress from Heaven" that Ilya wears to use the third magic at the end of HF. I don't recall if there's anything similarly special about Sella, though. Aside from her dislike of Shirou. EDIT: oops there was another page to this thread

While that probably made it worse, Hollow Ataraxia reveals that she was obsessed with money from childhood.

Seems like a bad idea to me, I mean there were meltdowns every time a character made an off-colour joke in Dangan Ronpa. Also it's in English so you can just get the game if you want to read it.
