fate stay night is a 2004 visual novel set in the same world as tsukihime, the visual novel melty blood is a spinoff of. fate grand order is a 2016 mobile game based on fate/stay night that is absurdly popular and has been for multiple years. saber in type lumina is from the fate series as a guest character, and they're also adding one of the main characters of fate grand order, mash, with this dlc wave.

if you know noted kusoge fate unlimited codes that was a fate stay night spinoff also.

Every major video game company on the planet could give you free characters and stages forever if they wanted. But they make more money charging for it is all. I guess they figured no one would buy melty chars for 8 dollars a pop or w/e.

True but most games don’t act as ads for other games, like MBTL was pretty transparently intended as

They aren't set in the same world, they're supposed to be alternate realities or something but basically they're just toally separate canons

Also Type Lumina is based on the 2021 Tsukihime reboots which are their own separate canon which is why popular MBAACC characters like Satsuki, Len, and Nrvnqsr didn't return. Because they don't show up in the Tsukihime reboot story. Or in Satsuki's case, she does show up but never becomes a vampire.

TulliusCicero posted:

She is the princess of the "True Ancestors" which were the artificial proto vampires created by the moon god. Unlike humans who get bitten and turned into vampires the True Ancestors don't actually need blood to live but they just get really really hungry if they don't have it, so they just spend 24/7 trying to suppress their urges to killmurderkillkill.

Red Arcuied is a hypothetical alternate reality version of her who fell off the wagon and failed her diet. And since she's no longer using 90% of her power to suppress her desire to murder and eat everyone around her she gets to use that power to throw cool projectiles and teleport instead.

also tsukihime is a very japanese VN so she becomes shiki's girlfriend and has sex with him and you have to read the sex scene

shiki is the viewpoint character
throughout the game the player decides whether they want Shiki to smooch Arc, Ciel, Akiha, Hisui, or Kohaku and depending on that choice they get a different story route

i think arcuied's route is the canon one? idk i'm only going from secondary sources here

e: also in one of the endings she awakens her true power and becomes literally a god(?) named archetype:earth
who is one of the two top tier characters in AACC alongside Roa. the wikis all call her hime to differentiate betwen that form and regular arc

I don't think it's specifically Shiki's TV, but yeah he lived at the Tohno manor for a bit before Akiha asked him to leave because him and Shiki in the same house would be awkward. When he left he took a TV with him.

At 0:27 Saber blocks Mashu's shield-A after getting her jumpin attack shielded which afaik is a shield nerf, previously you couldn't block and could only cancel into your own shield. But it's been a while since I played so maybe blocking always worked with safejumps?

I actually didn't remember but apparently in the original visual novel if you got a bad ending you'd get 3rd wall breaking sequence where Ciel tries to lead you through the options to get a good ending. Neco Arc shows up as a gag in these sequences. And yeah it's Arcueid but a cat.

So this is how it started, but it later grew into them being interdimensional beings that are just lazy. They run a bar/restaurant called Ahnerbee where people in the 'verse can go to chill, and there are Neco versions of a lot of the cast.

It's a throwaway gag that grew into an established part of the world just to be a throwaway gag.

The Moon Cell is a big computer designed to simulate magecraft because we became too advanced for magic so we made tech so advanced that it could pass as magic.
