is fate still popular
Prillya is still fairly popular I reckon.
>>275213680SadlyIf only that shit would die
>>275213878god please shut the fuck up you reddit mongo and get some taste and a personality
>>275213680Among gacha addled zoomers i think

>>275213680In Short, Yes.

Justice for my girl!
>>275213680Will they ever re-design her crappy armor?
>>275213680Lostbelt 7 just came out on NA today
>>275214914Her armor's great, she has a fantastic character desgin.Here's a good alternative though.
>>275214936Seeing ORT in an official piece of media makes me nostalgic to back in 2006~2007>Can Berserker Lancelot holding a black hole in one hand and SHIKI by the ankle in another defeat ORT?Can't believe that actually generated a long thread full of real discussion.
>>275214982>chapter actually features ORT tanking both a black hole and MEODPMan...
>>275215059They absolutely read the shitposts. There's no way they didn't.
>>275214745>Prillya>redditThey literally won’t even speak about avenger Kuro.
>>275214950>Late medieval SaberI have seen a couple of fan attempts but it would be cool to see some Fate characters done in plausible period attire and weapons as alt art for GO or something. Migration era Western Roman Empire influence Briton Saber.
>>275214914>>275215804Her armor is based on kendo gear without the headpiece and its attached shoulder extensions. It's fucking kino. Besides, trying to be historically accurate with clothing even when just restricted to military styles is a bottomless autistic rabbit hole.Like in this pic, something as basic as the gaiters is fairly modern. Militaries wore some variation of puttee legwraps for millennia.
>>275215986I wish the artist had coloured the red parts blue
>>275216104You knew there was a blue version, all you had to do was ask.
>>275216120Even as a sloppy edit it's working a lot better for me.
>>275214936Still waiting for the invasion to happen, wake me up when that happens.
>>275215986>Her armor is based on kendo gear without the headpiece and its attached shoulder extensions. It's fucking kino.Mind blown
>>275216120WHAT IF IT WAS PURPLE?
>>275214936>ORT is meant to be like a secret boss in a JRPG, much stronger than the final boss>Make him the boss in a JRPG>It is not a hidden boss>Nor is the final bossWhat were they thinking?
>>275216502>Oh shit they're losing interest, better throw in some hype.it's gacha, it's not meant to have integrity, it's meant to make money.
>>275215986I don't mind if it's not historically accurate - the problem is that her armor is lame. It not cool, it's not badass, it's not sexy, it's not poetic. I might buy the argument it's camp, but it's the lamey kind.
>>275216732It's moe
>>275216732It was so successful that it became iconic in its own right. It's simple but effective, and compliments the rest of her design and character very well.
>>275216502Considering what it took to down it. It most certainly was a "hidden boss". Hidden bosses more often than not irrelevant to the bigger plot in the first place.
I do actually like Wada's style more. Takeuchi is fine but it is what it is.
>>275213680>better artstyleLmao. Maybe Takeuchu's phoned in slop for the gambling phone game, but the original CGs can't be topped.
Just played Extella Link a few weeks ago. And yeah, between Wadarco's art and the way they play, there were some characters I warmed up to a lot more. Artoria looks great and she's fun to use with how absurdly busted she is. Medusa's a ton of fun too, and I like her unlockable skin. Fun game, I'd recommend getting it when it's on sale.
>>275216977God the art for the original fate extra game on PSP...I get Rin was supposed to be pale skinned but she looked sickly as fuck and looked like a talking corpse.
DSL!DSL!
>>275216837Then they should have made it a special event boss for after the main story is over or something like that.
>>275213680What a retarded image, extremely incorrect also.

>>275214789FGO isn't even popular anymore. Gacha addicts are all off playing chinese gacha.
>>275215097FGO is one big shitpost.
>>275214982>>275215059>GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>TL: Ah, Shiki Tohno, my trusted sentient death line cutter. We face our greatest enemy.
>>275217083I really like the juxtaposition of Rin being a 1337 h4x0r in this universe
>>275218774somehow being tokiomi's bastard granddaughter means not inheriting the tohsaka inability to technology
>>275218562You have no idea what you're talking about. FGO is more popular than any chinese game in Japan and they have the biggest market per capita.
grand carnival was a thing
>>275218802What if the magic crest limits your technology savviness?
>>275218814That's cute. Too bad we live in a global economy.
>>275216923>Maybe Takeuchu's phoned in slop for the gambling phone game, but the original CGs can't be topped.Did you miss the remake casual? All every piece of official art from the last ten years? Right is what Takeuchi's style looks like now.

>>275214878will she ever get her sherou?
>2025>twenty years and i am forgotten
>>275213680fuck off secondary, extra art looks fucking dogshit>>275213878no it's not and never was compared to other fate works, look the awful sales
>>275218814A few years ago, sure. Even the doujin scene has cooled down a lot when it comes to Fate doujin.
>>275218924>Even the doujin sceneDoujins are not an indication of popularity.
>>275218941I think they are.
>>275218917>"Even so, there is still value in life. Even in living beings which created evil. Even if there is no value in humanity, there is meaning in all of its history that has accumulated up to now.

>>275218917The only Fate(TM) worse than being an angry manjew is being a forgotten manjew
>>275219015Oh right, Extra is getting a remake.they're removing the sex from that too
>>275219032Nah.It's absolutely worse to be wasted by modern type moon
>>275213680It will be popular again once they catch up with hoyoshit
>>275219063I stand corrected
>>275219063I can't get over how good Shirou morphing into Avenger or just obviously being him looks.>You vs the You you're afraid to be
>>275219106>Shirou Has sex with two women each timeline (Rin and Saber in UBW and Fate; Rider and Sakura in HF)>AvengerLives in a dream scenario where he gets to be the man in two different threesomes. clearly, avenger i superior, even if it is by virtue of bodyjacking him and living in a literal self-made dream world
>>275219146>Rin and Saber in UBW and FateOnly in good end, the best ending really.
>>275219106I am a shadow, the true self…
>>275219188That is basically what Avenger is. Every crude desire, feeling, and instinct Shirou keeps down. It's why he's super horny and takes the moment out of his day to talk shit with a nun trying to bait him into raping her.
>>275219208I reckon Archer is more of a shadow for Shirou
>>275219238Archer is a shadow of Shirou's ideal.Avenger is a shadow of Shirou's humanity.
>>275219280Gee, Shirou, how come you get to have 2 shadows?
aren't you a nigger?
>>275219327for the same reason sakura and rin can both be two different goddesses
yep
>>275216120this is the sloppiest edit I've ever seen.
No, but that's a good thing, 13 year old South Asians won't make annoying edit of nasuslop and most fandoms are praying that their franchise is gatekept
why'd he do it?
>>275218917He appeared in OC2 if you played FGO.
>>275220728Gotta have her daughter bear Angry Mango children and continue the Kotomine bloodline
>>275216502It's supposed to be a weaker alternate version of it. It still took some boosted up Divine Spirits, a Beast who was stronger than the previous LB Kings and all your Servants to fight it like Goetia, and even then it needed to defeat itself.
>>275219146Wait, what do you mean two different threesomes. There's only the Sakura + Rider scene.
>>275213680>Better art styleHighly debatable.
>>275219034>they're removing the sex from that tooI sleep.
>>275218960They're an indicator of a very specific type of popularity which is increasingly irrelevant in the modern age of IP.
>>275220863this edit is amazingalso lolit is funny that shirou fucks kotomine's daughter>>275221104I mean that Shivenger is fucking Saber and Rin. Rider and Sakura is also happening. There was a literal threesome in the Fate route and there are a lot of scenes where Rin and Saber are close galpals, in Ataraxia and Carnival Phantasm
>>275213680>Real Fate? Nah, forgotten and buried>nuFate?More popular than ever. A walking corpse and an affront to anything good.
>>275218814Did they finally add a sweep function in FGO?
As zoomer i only know Rin is a tsundere
>>275221093>It's supposed to be a weaker alternate version of it. How/why?
>>275213680>People are unironically defending Sameface TakeuchiOG Fatefags deserve everything that's happened to their franchise. Couldn't of happened to a more fitting IP.
>>275213680Arthur (f) is an enduring symbol of the emasculation of England.
I am in favour of Fate becoming an obscure title if it means we get Tsukihime Remake part 2, Mahoyo 2 and 3.
>>275213680Still one of the biggest IP in japan and right now at its peak despite what certain gooks try to tell you
Between Wada being so much more coomerish than Takeuchi and Rance being written by a woman for like 5 games straight I get the feeling that women were the real coomers all along.
>>275213680All Saber Artorias are cute and perfect.
>>275218924Nah, current year as in right now. Chinese games have zero foothold in fan spaces or in general spending compared to long running stuff like FGO and Monster Strike.
>>275213878Fuck off. Prillya is the worst part of the franchise
>>275219106What is this from?>>275219208Hollow Ataraxia isn't fucking Persona. Manjew is sin incarnate but he isn't Shirou's jungian shadow or anything like that. Especially considering that HA Shirou is hardly lacking for anything or resentful towards anyone, he would have no reason to have a shadow.>>275218917Kind of impressive how his face doesn't really look like Shirou's even though they share the same face.
>>275223438It crash landed on earth much earlier than it was supposed to, half-died on impact, fought Camazotz (empowered by the sacrifice of the entire proto-humanity), and had its heart carved out to put it to sleep. The ORT you fight in FGO is a more juvenile version who had less time to "level up" and doesn't have its heart. Its "heart" was shaped into an amnesiac divine spirit (sort of) that was then given the name Kukulkan. When you fight the fucker, it just keeps eating your servants (which the game conveys by making them unusable on defeat until you either beat the boss or reset), and even when you manage to strike a seemingly mortal blow using your ship that is equipped with the concept of the "the holy sword that destroys invaders," ORT just hacks into servant system using the knowledge it gained from eating all of those servants and makes itself into a servant of the title "Grand Foreigner." Despite all of this, proper history ORT is stronger because it had more time to master its own natural capabilities and didn't eat shit upon crash landing on Earth. Proper history ORT landed on Earth and just went to sleep because it got there too early.

>>275213680Wada's art works for some characters but she often draws too big of heads and eyes. I quite like her Saber though. However, her design sense itself is hit or miss. I know part of this is because of the setting, but too often does she add little sci-fi details that look out of place, like giving Cu Chulainn a TRON suit or making Galatine look like this. I liked the idea of fantasy characters fighting in a sci-fi-ish setting, but some of the design sensibilities just don't track for me.
>>275226422>shirou gets raped in the next room>girls don't hear a thingBeing Emiya is...Well, not suffering
>>275214745Prillya is not banned in reddit?
>>275218541>Why doesn't Archer nuke the Matou household when a counter guardian threat appears and is under their sway?Because the Counter Force is rarely so direct and he usually only deals with the aftermath. There's a reason he gets called an eternal janitor. The CF never responds until massive devastation has already occurred. >Why doesn't Illya tell Shirou about Avenger so he can Rule Breaker SakuraIllya didn't really know either. She was sent by the Einzberns under the impression that the war was still good to go. She wasn't aware it was a lost cause and she was just as clueless about the problem as everyone else. For some reason, the Einzberns just never put 2 and 2 together on how much they fucked up in the 3rd war. She certainly didn't know Sakura was part of the problem, which is why she was ignored in 2 routes.>Why does Salter have no fucking personality or motivation whatsoever?Because her sanity has been eroded by the Grail mud and she's lost all hope. At the point in the route where she gets devoured, she still saw the Grail as her last chance to undo a lifetime of fuck-ups. She came to see the reality of the situation once she was forced to experience the true nature of the Grail and she gave in to despair as a result. >Why does Rider let Sakura pull a complete fucking retard?All Rider cares about is Sakura and letting her act out her feelings. She cares about Sakura more than anyone, but that doesn't mean she knew what was best for her. She played the part of faithful servant who would not go against her master's wishes until she was made to realize just how bad things had gotten. Even then, you can fuck up recruiting her to the cause.>Why doesn't Rin just bust a cap in her bitch sister's faceThe narrative beats you over the head with the fact that Rin isn't as hardened as she lets on and having to kill Sakura is something she spent the entire route trying to resolve herself to do if it came to that. She still loved her sister.
>>275216120That looks way better
>>275226354>is sin incarnate but he isn't Shirou's jungian shadow or anythingAvenger doesnt have a personality of his own, when it takes over someone's body it just becomes a reflection of their darkest aspects. Hes not the same being now that he was when embodying Irisviel, etc. He's more of a concept at this point
>>275221160Then what indicator of it's popularity are you using?
>>275226804>everyone is retardedwowgreat writing
>>275226895>Shirou gets corrupted by Angra MainyuBecomes the most based man alive>Sakura gets corrupted by Angra MainyuTries to end the world in a hissy fit.
What's going on in FGO? Is it really just one big filler arc now? Like entire LB shit with ORT was pointless?
>>275227010>Is it really just one big filler arc now?what the fuck do you think gachas are?
>>275227001>Woman tries to end the world in a hissy fitYou don't say?
>>275226804Are you pretending to be retarded?Genuine question here.
>>275227066hehehe
>>275221827What is "real Fate" and what is "nu-Fate"?
>>275227035An ignorant label for mobile games?
>>275213680It stopped being popular when it abandoned its roots and turned gacha.
>>275226960Yes, everyone being retarded is good writing. You overestimate the competence of people.Not everyone has complete information or can make good decisions in the heat of the moment. >ArcherNever knew something was wrong with Sakura, even in his own timeline. He just knew Shinji was abusive. >Counter ForceNot a living entity, but rather more of a vague system that does not directly respond unless absolutely necessary. >IllyaWasn't told the whole story and could not have known. Was blinded by her resentment and didn't bother investigating the Matou family unprompted. Couldn't have known to work with anyone until it was too late.>Saber AlterShe had her body and mind corrupted with a combination of All of the World's Evils and her own despair over realizing that she had been fighting and suffering for no reason. The deal she took was a sham from the beginning. She could not have possibly known.>RiderShe's a biased, but well-meaning guardian who didn't want to complicate Sakura's situation further or risk fucking it up. She just wanted to respect her wishes until it became clear that Sakura would never stop. >RinWow, the teenage girl who isn't cut out for the life she's found herself in made questionable decisions pertaining to whether or not she should murder her sister?Also, >when it's so beyond fucking obvious she's the reason why everything is happeningIt was not "so beyond fucking obvious" to the characters themselves because they don't see the complete set of information the reader does. Not every character is there for every scene or can notice every detail in the moment. >>275227067Elaborate, but the post I replied to was being willfully ignorant at best. If you mean for responding to bait, then so be it.
>>275227174dumbass smartass
>>275216923>gorilla arms>can't draw lore-accurate breasts to save his lifeHis expressions are good, but the same can be said about Ryukishi07. He hasn't even colored his sprites on his own since Tsukihime.
>>275227174There's nothing ignorant about it. Not all mobile games are gacha games, but FGO is by definition. It exists to pull money from the wallets of impulsive idiots and has been milking it long after it should have ended because they don't want to cut a revenue stream. There's no integrity in a piece of media such as that.
>>275227182>Yes, everyone being retarded is good writing.
>>275227231(You)'d fold like a bitch the moment you encountered Lancer if you were in Shirou's shoes.
>>275227231We have two previous routes of everyone actually behaving in believable manners. It's what makes HF crash and burn. Everyone makes jumps in character to justify Nasu trying to differentiate the route from the others where as UBW spins off so differently because Archer is there to chessboard the entire war into killing Shirou and Caster is alarmed by their fight with Berserker.
>>275213680There hasn't been a single popular servant released since Morgan.
Funny thing to point out. Rin fucking kills Sakura before the shadow shit ever crosses her mind just because she becomes a semen draining whore with a servant on her supply. But she wouldn't when it's obvious she's the shadow thing?
>>275227373In a bad end.It's also a little different when you see she has clearly gone mad from a combination of abuse, power, and intoxicating self-pity.
>>275227448...oh my god
>>275227010>nothingI thought this is FGO discussion thread instead of HF schizo posting general. It's over
>>275227373She tries, but Sakura has already gone dark by that point and pushes in her shit.
>>275227488isn't there a /vg/ general you can sperg about in?
Sakurafags aren't very bright, are they?The worms are in their heads.
>>275227458Madness complicates things when you're dealing with a loved one. Rin still resolved herself to kill Sakura, but no one saw the shadow thing coming until much later. It's questionable as to whether Rin even could kill her for a while seeing as how Gilgamesh failed to. She needed the Jeweled Sword later on, but Sakura was made of bullshit for a while already.
>>275227526Wrong, I'm a Rinfag.
like, there's no point in arguing with you fags when you think such massive stretches are acceptableyou're delusional, and it's not anyone's job to correct you
>>275227570There's no argument to be had. These are the facts as presented. I'm sorry that you can't just accept that the driving force of most fiction stems from people making questionable decisions with limited information, but that's what it is. There's nothing wild about that. People make impulsive, emotional decisions in outrageous scenarios. Saying "it's not your job" is just a vain attempt to save face on an anonymous image board. The reality is that you're either too lazy to check what you're talking about or you're so cocksure of yourself that you can't imagine ever being wrong. You just have a hateboner for HF and can't be assed to give it the same well-meaning reading as you would the other routes. Feel free to smugly reply in a bid for the last word. Unless you want to say something genuine or point out a mistake I've made, then that's that.
>>275227780>These are the facts as presented.see?
>>275227499>/vg/
>>275227803motherfucker, where do you think you are right now?
I like UBW Abridged. Lancer deserved better.Also, every week I fap to Rider/Rin dream sex scene that's in the HF manga.
>>275213680Depends on an individual's popularity definition.Objectively it's in downfall on several measures except the financials for the mobile game. It's still ridiculously profitable with ultra low costs in production. Everything else Fate related is a shitshow in management and production failures which they can essentially ignore due to swimming in cash all the time. They can start separate side franchises and immediately drop them whenever they want just for a quick gachabuck appearance.Third parties have to come up with content pitches and suck up to Nasu and Takeuchi to get permission to make games.(FSR)It's amazing that the old Extra director actually managed to waddle through TM's shit and force Nasu to greenlight a remake after he completely ruined everything after CCC with that godawful anime and Extellatrashverse.
