i'm personally happy about the small break in between halloween events. the re-run ran a little too long for me...

anyway, who's going to try for cleopatra in a few days?

Re: FGO

[(Anonymous)]

I have been waiting for Cleopatra since launch, I have 330 quartz and 43 tickets... I still don't feel ready.

[(Anonymous)]

Not me, I threw everything I had at the Jeanne Alter banner. I have a decent amount saved up for JP Halloween, so I'm hoping I can bring Sitonai home (unless the banner is someone else).

Re: FGO

[(Anonymous)]

nah, there's only two i'm saving for right now; casgil and grandpa.

Re: FATE/

hi guys! potential salieri mun here.

I'd like some advise writing his speech pattern. like I've read the lostbelt 1 and his my room lines, but few pointers to keep in mind would be nice.

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

does he even have a particularly unusual speech pattern?

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

who else saw sitonai’s final ascension art and got disappointed

not surprised or angry, just disappointed.

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

Re: FATE/

Re: FATE/

this company has produced literal loli hentai so why do you people keep acting surprised

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

why am i seeing art of ilya in ainu clothing

is this a fgo thing

i guess we'd gone too long without a culturally insensitive faux pas from them

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

it's the new servant, sitonai, who is a pseudo-servant bound to illya. she showed up in the last lostbelt story chapter, but wasn't summon-able until now. sitonai is a figure from ainu mythology, hence the clothing. she also apparently has elements of louji and freyja from scandinavian mythology, but that just sounds like something that was in the lostbelt chapter, since nothing in her playable form references that as far as i can tell.

as far as being culturally insensitive, idk. i haven't seen anyone more knowledgeable on ainu culture speaking out against it. with pseudo-servants, you're not really getting a representation of the original myth most of the time anyways, just the aesthetic trappings of them (see also; ishtar, parvati, muramasa, zhuge liang, etc).

personal opinion, i don't think her design is any worse than the ainu sisters from the samurai shodown games (nakoruru and rimururu) and those were historically positively received by the ainu, as far as i've read about it.

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

It's not really culturally insensitive, though.

Sitonai is a very obscure Ainu figure, just the fact that she's being referenced shows they did a lot of research. Ilya's powers and abilities are closely tied to Sitonai's story, too. Her clothing's historically accurate, as are her weapons. The only real issue is the fact that it isn't technically fully Sitonai, but it isn't really like Waver/Zhuge where Zhuge basically doesn't exist in the equation, Ilyasviel talks about Sitonai as if she's having a conversation with her inside herself, and her third ascension is more Sitonai than Ilyasviel.

It'd be cool if they put a full ainu figure in, mind, and I can get criticism from that angle, but there's a walk between that and 'culturally insensitive.'

i thought i could get away from the nasty fgo oni designs for a bit, but lo and behold, we've got them again in the new halloween event

at least brave liz is cute, but holy shit am i sick of the onis being shoehorned into every other plot. pls stop dw, i can only take so much

(frozen comment) Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

anon, how the fuck

brave liz is a 14 year old girl in a metal bikini that is literally falling off of her, failing to leave her naked only by the angle of her portrait. how is that somehow better than the oni. they are the exact same kind of gross.

If the game is constantly tasteless or offensive, why don't people uninstall?

(frozen comment) Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

because it's not. you hear about it when it is, but the majority of designs are cool, and the majority of events are fine. it's got tasteless designs, but they're pretty easy to ignore for the most part, and the most gross parts of the fandom are almost exclusively on reddit, which is, once again, avoidable.

plus you don't have to pay for it and there's very little actual pressure to whale. it'd probably be a different story, otherwise.

(frozen comment) Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

because they'd much rather make excuses for it (see above) and get into dumb arguments over WEH X IS WORSE THAN Y WEH NO IT ISN'T WEH YES IT IS

fate fandom has always been dumb but fgo really did bring out the biggest rejects in the refuse pile

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

what is your favorite character design, and what is your least favorite character design?

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

probably in the minority on this but im very unreasonably fond of thomas edison's ridic lion head for some reason? it's just so unexpected and different from most of the designs in this game...and it weirded me out the first time I pulled him but it's grown on me ever since. that and the fact that his noble phantasm is literally blasting his enemies with the 20th century fox trumpets

also nobunaga's design is badass af to me but im still a bit of a newbie and missed her event, so I try to borrow her from friend support whenever I can and look forward to finally having one of my own when her event reruns sometimes next year

least favorite designs...off the top of my head i just can't take raikou's balloon-ass tits seriously :( plus she's got this vaguely melty look to her all around...? idk how to explain it but if the boobs weren't so bad she'd be alright. she's dead useful for grinding and her np is still rad but man...

Re: FATE/

[(Anonymous)]

favorites; nobunaga, sigurd, ozymandius, arthur, byrn, scathach, alter cu, caster cu, proto cu (but for some reason i've always been kinda 'meh' on vanilla cu, don't ask me why, idk), arash, king hassan, serene hassan, liz's second and third ascensions, gawain, robin, medea and medea lily, medusa, I HAVE SO MANY I'M SO SORRY

least favorites; some of the obvious ones like raiko, artemis, the birates, jack, all of the prisma illya abominations, brave liz, but i also find i'm in the minority if not being fond of dantes or cleopatra. i just don't really dig that artist's style, and never really have.

Re: FATE/
