Silver2195 posted:Fate/Apocrypha, a light novel series by Yuuichiro Higashide, is the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War in a timeline where the Third War went differently. It was originally planned as a game and features Servants designed by several different Type-Moon employees. The translation is being done one bit at a time on the Beast's Lair forums. Apocrypha has a lot of crazy-sounding ideas: the Apocrypha Fourth War involves 15 (!) Servants, one of whom is a moeblobby female Frankenstein's Monster, and one of the Masters is named Kotomine Shirou. It also has some awful character designs. The result is surprisingly OK, however; Higashide manages to turn some of the rather throwaway ideas from the Fate/Complete Material writeups of Servants from the cancelled game (Siegfried not speaking, everything involving Frankenstein) into coherent characterization. There was someone doing a translation of Mahoyo in French. S/He was up to chapter 7, IIRC.

Compendium posted:I think the best part about Saber is when she becomes a huge foodie. I laughed at the part where Shirou asked her about what food was like back in her era and she's just filled with so much hate at the thought of it. It's not a question of era: she's from Britain.

Heaven's Feel isn't actually the Sakura Route: it's the Kotomine Route.

I'm playing (reading) through the french fanslation of Mahoyo, and it's amazing how beautiful the game is. It makes Fate look like the original release of Tsukihime.

Cake Attack posted:There's a french translation? Got a link? My french is rusty but I could make it work. http://moontrad.fr/ It's not finished, only up to chapter 7 out of I have no clue how many (my google-fu failed after minutes of searching, and then I gave up because I'm lazy.) Some of the side-stories you unlock as you go have also been translated. So far the translation seems okay, if a bit too literal in parts (at least I assume that's why you'll sometimes get sentences with really weird/awkwared structure). The soundtrack is also really good.

We'll see which one finishes first, I guess. I'll probably stay with the french one: it seems like I barely use my own language anymore.

Sylphid posted:As far as I know Arondight is completely made up and is way more modern in origin than anything else related to Lancelot. As far as his combat abilities go, no need to go into a big explanation about those. He was supposed to be the best knight and the only one who could beat Arthur in a sword fight. For another one of his abilities, his disguises are a reference to many stories about Lancelot using disguises, like in the story of Elain of Astolat. I'm pretty sure it's stated somewhere that any one can be summoned as Berserker, getting a tremendous stat boost but losing their sanity in the process.

Finished the translated parts of Mahoyo. It's pretty good! I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of it. There's a of similarities between Rin and Aoko, I found. Both are powerful mages, both have a nasty temper, both are prideful and both tried to kill the male lead in a chase sequence in an empty building. There's enough differences that it doesn't feel like a complete rethread though. I like the crazy reaction faces. It's endearing. Holy poo poo that Amusement Park two-part battle.  That was pretty amazing. For all his weird habits, Nasu knows how to write a good fight scene.I'm not sure how to feel about the main character. It feels almost like they managed to create a character so bland he goes out the other side and become interesting.

BS at the start. "Ghost Liner", what the gently caress, I don't think I've ever heard that before anywhere else in the franchise. This isn't that complicated you don't need to keep inventing make believe phrases and words.

What I'm looking forward to the most is Kirei eating Mapo Tofu. (more seriously, Kirei vs True Assassin is also a good fight)

The real reason is that Shirou cannot believe anyone could be attracted to thrash like him that should have died that day in the fire, because he has massive issues. The joke reason is that he's dumb.

The plot stuff in F/HA is legit great (Bazett is the best  ) and some (most?) of the funny stuff is legit funny. I did not care for the fanservice much.Also more of the truly important characters: Taiga-Sensei, Mitsuzuri, and those three girls.

Twiddy posted:Huh just looked through the flowchart and you're right. I thought that people thinking that Kirie fight = good end was just a consequence of how most people played the game, but it seems like going from Kirie fight = it's spring is actually a safety net. Fun. That moment when Light and Darkness comes in...

I started playing this stupid gacha game for 23 days now... and I'm now completely addicted. If anyone wants to add me, my friend code is 516,606,591. I've got no 5-Star servants though, and only 3 4-Stars (the two Halloween welfares and Heracles). I did draw best boy Angra Mainyu today, stuck at lvl 25. I should have known there would be a thread for other victims of this game on SA, I should have google searched earlier.

My god, Hassan and CuLancer's dodge skill is so good. I keep spending my Quartz on single rolls that give me jackshit. I also just spent all the Mana Prisms I'd been saving on Fou's for mah boy Angra, instead of waiting for the 1000-prism CE as I'd been planning. Good self-control right there.
