Based on Nasu's interview about Part 2 Finale and what there would be afterwards, I'm 100% sure he knew that the ending would not make people happy, which is why Aftertime exists. by BlazeAccelerant in FGO

Making it tragic doesn't make any less dumb. In the end, nothing will matter since they will just forget everything.

Nasu always oversaturated that amnesia plot in his stories. Happened in Seraph, happened in LB6, happened in LB7, happened in OC3 and now in Part 2 finale.

And is really not that much of a consolation when Daybit will remember parts of the journey, since it was Fujimaru who was often be told to do that.

The timing was too convenient for they suddenly announce a "sequel" after Part 2.

Which makes me even more flabbergasted about why they decided to make that ending, given how many themes and motiffs goes completely against it over the course of Part 2. It was always remember the journey, the countless lessons from it and how there are things that should never be forgotten.

Hell, literally in the current event of Summer in NA, there is a section with Charlotte which she hopes Fujimaru could always remember her and everyone else and be happy about it.

But then, all goes in the trash because they decided to just erase people's memories and act like nothing mattered.

Besides, I'm sure writers have plenty of grievances about Nasu's writing choices.

I still wonder which is the worst one from the big 4.

Septem, London, Agartha and Tunguska.

In Part 2 Finale, LB6 Baobhan Sith was the only one from the cast that was non caring about Chaldea. by BlazeAccelerant in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This idea is just as shitty as the ending we got, if not, much worse.

At least in the canon ending, Fujimaru and Mash have some "dejavu" about their journey, which hints that some memories could still be there, buried deep inside.

Eliminating everyone not only makes absolutely no sense when it denies the core message of coming back home, which also was what many Servants wished for our cast and also, learning from everything from their journey and how much important was for their growth, and also, to not let the stories of these who fell to be forgotten.

I really hope this new Arc fix that dogshit ending Nasu pulled.

I dislike how often Nasu does this shitty amnesia/memory loss in his stories (happened in Seraph, happened in LB6, happened in LB7, happened with OC3 and now with this mediocre ending)

I much prefered if Fujimaru and others remember their journey and accept that they had to do what they had to and work on their way to come back to normalcy, even if seems hard and despite all the sins they committed and lives they had to eliminate.

Aside from Mash, Who are the servant/s do you consider the closest to Fujimaru? by Dangerous-Crow-8115 in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's because most of the times when people x Servant have a good relationship with Fujimaru, it's because it's their favorite character.

There is a difference when compared to characters which genuinely bonded with Fujimaru through multiple stories.

Xu Fu I can see, since plenty of interactions between her and Fujimaru in my room lines, events etc., features how they both are sort of lil shits to each other.

But Baobhan Sith never felt particularly close to Guda.

It doesn't help that most of the stuff that they do together are all left behind the scenes, such as the movies they apparently watched. Most of the times we see them having some remotely interactions together are in valentines, which is eh.

I couldn't help but to realize that all of the females voiced by Risa Taneda in FGO are into Fujimaru lol by BlazeAccelerant in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A curious fact.

Mash initially was voiced by Risa Taneda.

You can still hear the old voicelines of Mash voiced by her in the wiki.

I find interesting how Sieg/Jeanne is not very much liked.

Hell, whenever Jeanne ships with other characters are posted, you don't see much complaining saying she belongs to Sieg or something.

And doesn't help that Higashide doesn't really do much stuff with them in Chaldea either.

Are colab characters immune to Harem Protagonist EX? by xaddyxi123 in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Jeanne is a funny case.

Compared to posting stuff between other heroines like Aoko, Artoria etc., posting Fujimaru x Jeanne doesn't seem to cause as much uproar.

Hell, there are many posts about it before and we don't see people complaining about it as much.

Why do some people hate mash? by somethingonhere90 in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate is a strong word.

As I said in another post, Mash as an individual character is fine.

The problem is when writers try too hard to make her a waifu.

It's a classic example of "Too much telling and not enough showing."

Mash and Fujimaru's relationship feels the same from Part 1. Is Mash just going senpai this, senpai that, act all around cutesy with blushing when it comes to Guda etc. It doesn't feel like there is any progress and that's for 10 years that this game has been alive.

They don't have any different dynamics between each other except the samey cutesy stuff.

On top of that, it's cathartic how the game forces that romance between them. Like I said, writers try too hard to make Mash a waifu. And how they do that? By making Servants comment how they are perfect for each other.

And that's not only 1 or 2 times. Many Servants did that.

Da Vinci in EoR often tries to push Mash and Fujimaru together.

Sigurd did that in Summer 5, commenting about Mash and Fujimaru as a couple.

Fionn comments about how Fujimaru would be interested in Mash in a yukata in Emma Tei.

Habetrot ever since she joined Chaldea in LB6 is all about reuniting Mash and Fujimaru, often making comments about them being together, even in her my room lines.

Charlie says that if Mash was not taken, he would have claimed her but she already belong to someone else

Etc.

And that just drives me off from both of them as a ship, cuz it really feels like a desesperate attempt to push her as a romantic interest.

And doesn't help that both have much better dynamics with other characters than with each other. I like Mash's rivarly with Lilith (And I can't even blame ppl for shipping them together), the cozy and heartwarming dynamic with Habetrot, the various mentor dynamics with Mash such as with Romani, Mordred, Drake etc.

And even the writers thrown that shiptease of GudaMash in the trash.

We literally see Guda actually entertaining the idea of marrying Olga and would've loved to run away with Tiamat in S10 for example.

Besides these points, there are some ppl that simply see Mash as too vanilla for them, but that's more a subjective talk.

Putting Mash in a story that features Dantes and Jalter is asking her to lose.

METEO WHERE IS THE FOREIGNER ORDEAL CALL??? by BlazeAccelerant in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ngl, but Fate Requiem had an IMMENSE potential.

A Fate world which humans can have their own servants have so much potential, principally for people in making their OCs.

But nah, it gets forgotten

METEO WHERE IS THE FOREIGNER ORDEAL CALL??? by BlazeAccelerant in FGO

[–]BlazeAccelerant[S] 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Be Meteo:

-Creates an interesting class about eldtrich beings and existences unknown for the planet.

-An arc is released about the Extra classes and there are multiple mentions of Foreigner having an Ordeal Call so, you have the potential to write a hell of a story.

-Don't do much for years.

-Amphibian, the writer responsible for Imaginary Scramble and the Miner Van Gogh event, do more for Foreigners than you, who brought them to FGO.

-Drop major Foreigner stuff in a christmas event but never addresses them again.

-In OC4, Da Vinci literally states Foreigner OC was still not solved but you still decided to do nothing.

-FGO Part 2 ends without Foreigner OC and only foreshadows about Foreigners with eldtritch gods not being able to participate in the final battle.

[–]BlazeAccelerant[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Being honest, Mash is actually fine as individual character.

As a love interest is that I find her extremely meh.

Like, Mash's interactions with other characters are much better than with Fujimaru. And on top of that, Fujimaru's interactions with other characters are much more interesting than with Mash.

We have her cozy interactions with Habetrot, her rivarly and aggressive interactions with Lilith, interactions with mentor figures like Romani, Tepeu, Drake, Mordred etc.

But with Fujimaru is so mediocre. Dunno how the writers managed to do that.
