All I really remember is that it was mostly for fun.

Like, one of your dialogue choices was "Hey, it's that guy in the commercial!" because that was literally the only reason Diarmuid was there.

backwards batman, you have very little faith in our uncle nasu i'm disappointed in you.

I'm not sure why this comes as a surprise when Nasu's behind writing the scenarios and they're getting Urobuchi in on it for the Fate/Zero event.

Seriously what was even the plot of that anyway
First half is serious Shiki story about the current main villain Solomon create a Singularity from a forgotten page in history to wipe out humans with the help of a summoned servant, Dante. However, Dante is actually a nice edgy guy, so he summoned another Mephistopheles to lure the Chaldea servants into the apartment to stop the plan.

The good version of Mephistopheles (there is 3 personality version split to 'deteriorate' the apartment) helped us navigate the place while his other versions cause other servant to have anger/madness issue.

The place got so bad that Beasts of Alaya come out (Three 6 mils hp ghost that heal themself like 10k each turn) and will wipe you out because they are only compared as weaker version of Primate Murder (One of the few strongest being in nasuverse that have "absolute right of killing over man"), saber Shiki shows up and instant killed them all.

The team defeated Dante and stopped the plan. Post game around 700-800s room are 'rent collector' gag story with cleaning out left over servants in some apartment room.

Nasu goes out of his way to clarify that they don't, it was just silly dimension shenanigans again.

quote:

The Shiki in the event is the Shiki after the events of Kara no Kyoukai. But even if the characters of Kara no Kyoukai show up in the world of FGO, the whole city would’ve already been in ruins. But Shiki is special – she’s dead, but not quite. Her body had burned, but it’s yet to completely burn up. She’s there, just right before dying, asleep. The Ogawa Apartments that we see is the dream that Shiki is seeing. During the event, Shiki would say things like, “This is an awful nightmare,” or “I can’t wake up, so come with me,” and if she does wake up, she, like everyone else, would die out along with the time period she’s in. But if she doesn’t wake up, she’ll avoid the destruction of humanity as long as she’s in that dream, and she’ll be able to return to her original world. If she’s in that situation, Shiki Ryougi can show up in the scenario.

Also Dantes is the best, his scenario is basically him trying to reenact Dante's Inferno with him as Virgil, the player as Dante, and various servants as the embodiments of sin. It goes mostly according to his script up until he tries to use Amakusa and Jeanne as Greed and Wrath, and they basically just laugh at him. He gets so mad about it. :allears:

It's even canon, because it turns out that when you met Solomon in London he didn't just let you off scot free. No he casually cursed the player to what should have been an endless coma, if Dantes wasn't actually a pretty swell guy.

EDIT: Summary here.

Question Time: Based on the source material, is Fate/Extra
1. As good as Stay/Night on a relative scale?
2. Bound to be adapted well by Shaft?

I'm not much for comparison but yes to the second one. The story and chars are good and the setting is very conducive to SHAFT style.

An ideal Extra adaption would be ridiculously drama heavy, only to segue into CCC midway through and confuse everyone.

Caster winds up the servant of that one NPC magus who survives to the semifinal round so she can serve as comedic relief to the golden romance story of Hakuno and Saber. Archer dies in the first round, RIP.

The entire point of the Gilgamesh route in CCC is that Hakuno helps Gilgamesh move on from Enkidu!!!

Also it's kinda sorta implied that Hakuno summoned Enkidu as a Berserker in the unknown Extra route before CCC Gilgamesh, which is cool and I am sad it's not getting animated.

The Extra anime isn't going to be a straight-up adaptation. And "SHAFT has stated that Nasu is free to write anything without worrying about the budget."

The Counter Force is a mysterious and ineffable force that reacts with the minimum level of force needed to ensure absolute survival against extinction-level forces. It's also known to use totally random people who have no idea they're being used to stop things.

Long story short, Gudako and pals can be argued to be manipulated/possessed/guided by the Counter Force and are heir instrument(s) against Solomon.

This post reminds me of a point of contention I have with one of my friends: Can ANY spirit from the Throne of Heroes be a Counter Guardian? He says that only those who have explicitly made contracts to serve in that capacity like Arturia and Emiya can, but I clearly remember Medea having dialogue with Archer that implied that she had been a Counter Guardian as well, and further implying that all of them could be used for that duty.

As I recall, anybody from the Throne of Heroes can be used as part of the Counter Force; that's why the Throne of Heroes exists, to save noteworthy legends to field against the annihilation of mankind.

However, they also have the capacity to refuse any given request Alaya makes. What Counter Guardians are, then, are the heroes who made a deal with Alaya, and thus cannot refuse to be summoned.
