Is Hollow Ataraxia the one where Lancer's real master shows up? Y'know, the lady with the badass "hitman" look.

Yes, she also owns his dad's sword.

Isn't 7th Holy Scripture a Conceptual Weapon?

Yes, IIRC its core is basically a unicorn horn inscribed with an elaborate treatise written by The Holy Church that can be summed up as "Reincarnation is Bullshit and here is Why". Its an absolute rejection of the concept of Reincarnation/Immortality.

Conceptual Weapons are crazy poo poo and its even better when they interact.

Gaé Bolg is a demonic spear that reverses causality. The thrust spear strikes you because it has already pierced your heart.
Fragarach is a divine sword that cannot unleash its true power until the enemy attacks first, it then reverses time and strikes down the enemy before they can launch their attack.

What happens when the two weapons are used against eachother? Awesome/Stupid Nasu Bullshit.

I tried googling this but couldn't find a good answer. How long is the main story of FGO? I cannot stand gacha games, but I can probably deal with the gameplay if the story is decent.

Part 1 is Seven main story chapters (of increasing length and quality as the game gains in popularity) bookended by a prologue and epilogue chapter
Then there is Epic of Remnant which is 4 decent sized interim adventures
Then there is Part 2: Cosmos in the Lost Belt, which is so far a prologue and 4.5 story chapters (the English version is only up to the prologue).

Honestly, if you're not interested in the gameplay, it might be better just to watch playthroughs on youtube?

Yeah I'd recommend watching on youtube. Be sure to watch the event stories, too, a lot of the best writing is in those.

I agree the events often have some of the best writing (especially for the more light-hearted side of Fate), but the only event stories I would consider "plot critical" would be the Prison Tower (which introduces reoccurring character, Edmon Dantes) and the CCC Collab event (which is basically a fifth Epic of Remnant Chapter).

Okeanos is a fun little adventure, but like all the early chapters, it would probably be so much better if rewritten and cleaned up to the standards the game now has with new story content.

Medusa also is sipping on Shirou’s blood on the sly and is quietly terrified of Sakura finding out.

But at least she has a job, unlike a certain freeloading King of knights KNEETs. :v:

Looks like Studio BB is remaking Fate Extra? If its anything like Last Encore its gonna have some changes from the original. IIRC there was also a lot of stuff they had to cut in development of extra, I wonder if any of that will make it back in.

I just hope they've improved the battle system, what the video shows isn't super encouraging, but it IS different... somehow.

Takeuchi's Fashion sense is always an adventure.








TBF some of the outfits he's given characters are really good (Casual Jeans+turtleneck Sweater Medusa. Medea's Denim Jacket and skirt, Cu's Aloha shirt, etc)

I can't remember how she got it, but its her "nice clothes" for a date with Shirou.

Its not the least bit flattering on her. Maybe if the colors were different...

[edit] Nah, its not much of an improvement...

Typically in the different takes on the myth, Mordred was able to launch their rebellion because they were left in charge of Camelot while Arthur was out on campaign, because Mordred was the most talented administrator of the Knights.

A very amusing picture when imagining our Mordred. :v:

Fun fact one older academic theory is that the the Perseus vs Medusa myth is a mythological retelling of a older Greek civilization defeating a different civilization. That does line up a bit with the Fate version of the Gorgons.

Wasn’t that Ancient Minoan Empire based out of Crete big on snakes somehow, from what little we can tell? We know so little about that pre-Grecian Culture, not even what to properly call it. They were a superpower in the Aegean and Mediterranean and then they just... weren’t.
