Kyte posted:In theory yes. In practice... sometimes. The other problem is that being able to manifest a Reality Marble seems to mean an automatic Sealing Designation from the Mage's Association, which is why Rin wants to keep Shirou's on the downlow from the Association, and keep him away from Bazett in Hollow Ataraxia. Achieving a RM comes with its own severe drawbacks, doesn't help with reaching the Root, and can't be passed down, so it's basically most meaningful for weirdo mages like Shirou whose goal is to be strong, rather than bother with the Root or continue any research. Fangz posted:Well, I look forward to how confused the other thread is going to be about that line then. It was a fairly recurring plot point in Fate/Zero, up to and including the part where Kiritsugu uses it to save Shirou. They'll probably be fine! jellycat fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Dec 17, 2014 |

I just kind of assumed that Shirou couldn't use Archer's Reality Marble because their life experiences were too different. He can still create his own Unlimited Blade Works eventually because of all (or some) of the nonsense we just beanplated to death, but Archer's was shaped by the ideals he upheld (and Shirou discarded).

Nate RFB posted:But that's my point, if it's "just a spell" then stuff about life experiences shouldn't matter. The only thing that seemingly should matter is knowing how the spell works and I suppose having some sort of affinity for the magic in question. Ah, well I'm saying that stuff about life experiences does matter and that's why it's not "just a spell"! You can't recreate someone else's Reality Marble through any amount of research because it's the manifestation of one's own unique inner reality. That's part of why the Mage's Association hunts down any magi who are capable of using a Reality Marble, it's why Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works is different from Archer's, and why he can't use Archer's in Heaven's Feel.

Aumanor posted:Something that this episode made me wonder about : when exactly does Rin realise Archer is the future version of Emiya? She seems really shocked when she finds about the double pendants post Archer's betrayal, but during the date she assures Shirou that he'll grow taller and dodges the question when he asks why she's so certain. She asks Archer if he remembers who he is around the end of the episode (after the date) and she doesn't really sound like she strongly suspects who he is, so I'm guessing her mindset at this point is just that Archer and Shirou are the same kind of person, rather than actually the same person.

Raenir Salazar posted:Yeah I'm at the point Gil first shows up to skewer Caster and its finally clicked to me by now as a 'just one more...' page turner. I think this is exactly the point where Fate really picks up (which is… awfully late, for sure, but I still kinda liked the rest of it, too). That was the case for me, and it was the case for one of my friends who was otherwise super lukewarm on Fate. The encounter with Caster seems like it's going to go more or less like the other Servant battles ("Oh, a new Servant. She's probably going to disappear and then the next little arc will be about finding her and figuring out how to beat her."). It seems like a pretty predictable development. Then Gilgamesh wanders in and decides the rest of the plot is going to be about him and he casually makes his point with an overwhelming show of force. Also a pretty cool theme song.

Twiddy posted:Isn't she kind of dead in both endings? I was under the impression that she's effectively immortal as a Heroic Spirit until she either fulfills or cancels her contract to obtain the Holy Grail. She's killed in her incarnation as a participant in the Fifth Grail War, but she herself doesn't die. At least, that was my understanding.

Right, but I don't think the contract limits her to this grail. Like Kotomine said, there have been lots of things called the Holy Grail over the years, and I just figured Saber's contract basically includes anything called the Holy Grail (that can fulfill her wishes, maybe).

Thuryl posted:If you can put up with some so-so JRPG gameplay, Fate/Extra gets pretty gay if you pick the female protagonist and Saber or Caster as a Servant. I hear CCC is even more so but who knows if or when anyone's going to finish a fan translation of that Ohhhh, thanks for the heads up! I've owned it for months but still haven't gotten around to it. I should fix that sometime soon… Fortunately I understand enough Japanese that I won't have a problem playing CCC, but I'd still have to dig out my PSP.

I'm 100% sure that he only attacked her until she finally died. She survived a while and it seemed too consistent to be a coincidence. I blew 80 Quartz on summoning again and the only Servants I got were Jing Ke and Gilles de Rais (Saber). I'm glad I finally got a Saber, but… I wanted a cute girl… At least I got a few copies of that Sakura Craft Essence that starts a character off with 60% NP.

I'm thinking about dropping the ~$25 to get 36 more Quartz, scrounge up 4 from Rome, and try my luck one more time before I die.

I'm torn on the Chevalier d'Eon and EMIYA. I really want d'Eon on principle, but she also seems to have pretty respectable stats and she's a Saber (all I have is Gilles de Rais...). Her Noble Phantasm looks kinda useless, though.  EMIYA seems really solid all-around, though, and I'd love to have him in my starting party along with Lancer...

Ytlaya posted:Bear in mind that EMIYA's stat growth is such that he'll be really bad until he gets well past level 30 or so. So he might not be a great option for a starting party, even if he's pretty good later on. I'm partway through Rome and I haven't had a problem so far, so I could afford to babysit him for a while. That is good to know, though, thanks!

That pastebin actually lists Arturia (Lancer) AND Arturia Alter (Lancer), so maybe she'll get another Lancer design.

Baal posted:Because Fate apparently didn't already explain why she wanted to do that in great detail, I guess. No, you need her lovely subordinate whining to her about not being punished for loving her wife, the other two kings belittling her at every turn, a french dude creeping on her, having about 4 other servants who could've beaten her and Kiritsugu being a shitheel to her. Yeah, Fate/Zero sure was important to her character. Thank you. I liked Fate/Zero overall, but it was definitely in spite of pretty much all of this.

The next event is themed around Nero's colosseum and it looks like you fight Servants that will drop bronze, silver, and gold medals and you can exchange them for the new 5-star Craft Essence, some of the ascension materials that aren't currently obtainable on a regular basis, and 3 and 4-star ALL experience cards.
