I can't wait for the second half of UBW for Lancer to do his big gently caress YOUUUU because that will basically be me in that thread when the time comes.

Then they'll complain that there was no purpose to Kirei and all that buildup was for nothing.

Eh, they wouldn't be totally wrong, but Lancer gets to be the cool guy unlike F/Z Lancer whom I love, but that poor bastard couldn't even take anyone down with him when being offed pretty much the same way.

I'm reading a translation of scenes and scripts that weren't used in the Fate/Prototype OVA and man, it's just good fun, what with how different the Grail system is and how the tone is basically Heaven's Feel brand of darkness. Even if this material will probably never see the light of day, I love seeing the ideas that lead up to the current Fate series.

EDIT: Also, the drama CD is Carnival Phantasm level poo poo, it's just goofy fun.

It could always be complaining about how the action isn't meaningful and there isn't the strategy like there is in F/Z. (Seriously what the gently caress was up with that one :argh: )

Worth noting that Assassin mastered a variant of the Second True Magic by just practising swinging his sword a lot because he wanted to kill a bird.

Can't forget about Iskander. Guy wasn't even a magus in life, but that didn't stop him from being able to create his own ridiculous Reality Marble that encloses his ideals, philosophy, and his life of conquering with his best buds and army.

So yesterday I watched Fate/Zero with my brother, whose only other Type-Moon experience has been watching the UBW anime with me and our sis every Saturday. He has a pretty negative opinion of UBW - basically saying that the fights are cool but the characters act in dumb and contrived ways (which is totally true for the first half of UBW), but he absolutely loved the first five episodes of Fate/Zero. He laughed for a minute straight when it was shown that Kiritsugu fights with guns, and all he could talk about when we finished watching was how awesome Rider is.To be fair, he said that having already watched the slower UBW anime let him jump into the much more chaotic F/Z without having to try and figure out what the Servant classes are or what the hell a Noble Phantasm is.

Hilariously, he totally hasn't connected the Golden Haired Guy talking to Shinji in UBW 10 to Gilgamesh in F/Z, so he keeps speculating how Gil is going to be defeated since Gate of Babylon seems so overpowered.

That last part is definitely chuckle worthy. Gotta wonder what your bro will feel like when F/Z ends and everyone dies.

I was rereading End of a Hero in the VN today and yeah, you're right. As much as I love Zero Lancer, all he does is say gently caress you to Saber and everything else, Lancer just goes an extra mile with gently caress YOU and actually takes everything else down with him.

What I'm saying is that the guy goes down like a true hero. :irelandflagsingletear:

Joan of Arc is Ruler if we're going by Fate/Apocrypha, the other girl in the trailer is Shielder and according to the TM wiki, Red Saber from Fate/Extra might be in the game.

Eh, there's enough differences in terms of armor and hair length where it's not that hard to tell them apart.

And yeah, it was a minor plot point since Zero Caster thought Saber was Jeanne and thought she was just denying it. But you know, he was a crazy motherfucker of course he'd mistake Takeuchi's samefaces. :derp:

Carnival Phantasm's easy to digest even if you're not familiar with Tsukihime/Melty Blood so it's not like you're suffering through anything bad. It's 80% Fate jokes anyways and the eps are short.

One of the few designs in Extra that was for the better and doesn't involve grossness.

Thinking about it, next Fate spinoff they should just have Shiki summoned as Assassin, to troll all the "Could Shiki kill a servant?" people.

If you're talking about Ryougi, she was in Extra so... (If we're talking Tohno then I'm staying away from that one)

My intention was to reread Fate with the new patch in the intervening months between UBW's cours and I don't think I can do it. I'm putting in maybe an hour a week and it's painful because that route's beginning is nothing but exposition and Shirou being afraid of Saber's cooties. I'm certain it was fine when I had only a passing knowledge of the premise (so like 8 years ago when the first Fate patch came out?) but now it's just nothing but work. I like FSN a whole lot but I think I just have to acknowledge that it doesn't have the replayability of say Steins;Gate which I was more than happy to replay once it came out officially in English.

I want to try and reread the Fate route too, but I just end up reading the last third of UBW because it's somewhat more fast paced and it's more fun.

It really doesn't matter if KnK exists in a separate timeline because if Shiki ever needs to interact with anyone from the main timeline, she can just kill the barrier between those timelines. Or kill the differences between the two timelines.

My favorite fan comics are the ones where Ryougi Shiki interacts with the other Type-Moon cast members.

Yeah, this. KnK is just a few parallel threads away from being in a different timeline from Tsuki and Fate. Besides, it doesn't stop her from being in Melty Blood and Fate/Extra so.
