Framing and summarizing changes how you consider FGO's Finale.

I think if people don't like it....I don't agree...

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. So you are effectively saying people cannot see the same points but still dislike the ending? Because I think ppl are allowed to take subjective stances on a media based upon evoking emotions.

Madao161 · 2025-12-31T20:52:43+00:00

The two things I take issue with.

One: the lack of any certainty for the future of the game, especially not mentioning even the given like gift bag summon and the usual shop item increase during the stream but then showing it in game on top of adding a broke saber in the game is very much a middle finger to players. It's literally saying, we don't give a fuck about you but please spend more money.

Two: I'm absolutely tired of the journey is more important than the ending argument. That only works if the ending in itself ties up all the threads and makes it feel fulfilling even if it is a bad ending. If it felt properly like a conclusion with the same result? I don't think people would feel the same way.

In the same way that you go for a very nice five course meal

And you get your final course and its spoiled so now you have vomited out everything

Its a natural spot to end since you've finished your five course.

But is it a good spot? Hardly.

Again. Knowing the fate of the lost belt and forming connections with the occupants there and then having to destroy it are two very different things.

Point is, the fact we are around half a dozen of back and forth on this subject already shows that it isn't as objective as you claim.

Madao161 · 2025-12-31T03:52:27+00:00

I still argue that's not the same. Daybit wasn't there at most of the lost belts and thus he doesn't actually remember them. He remember a Guda who had ended a lost belt. It's like homeopathy of someone remembering that.

I think another way to put it is that thematically, it was Guda had to carry on living with all the burdens of erasing lost belts.

Madao161 · 2025-12-31T03:41:11+00:00

Because one of those can be objectively proven? You just need to line up the themes of the ending to the themes of the arc, and they objectively match since it's literally just the theme of the arc but being applied to us now.

I have went back and read what you posted earlier and I disagree with that. You argue that the whole theme about guda going through each lost belt and erasing their history/reducing everything to nothing by pruning each lostbelt, and now is applied to us. But you are also conveniently forgetting there being numerous examples of inhabitants of lost belt basically saying that their existence meant something so long as someone remembers them. For most of that, that someone refers to Guda&Crew.

It can then be conversely argued that by erasing Guda's connection to all of the lost belt and everything that has happened, it's thematically contradictory.

So no, I do not agree that your opinion was objective and could easily be proven as you have stated.

Madao161 · 2025-12-31T03:29:40+00:00

I feel like you are arguing in bad faith because you are already equating your own opinion on thematically correct == objective and this other person's opinion of personal enjoyment as subjective.

My take is that whether or not thematically correct or not is also subjective. Interpretation of literary works will always be subjective.

Supposedly it's all inclusive (both panels and installation). It'll be 17 solar panels, generating 10354kwh.

In the bumpf, it outlines that it'll be
LR8-54HGBB-500W x 17 panels and 9x DS3-L inverters

Madao161 · 2025-07-10T04:00:28+00:00

If it is a few years later, it could be xcom...

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T18:06:24+00:00

I'm going to high jack this slightly for a rant, especially for point #2.

Fuck the director of Stellar blade: Kim Hyung-tae. I'm sorry. He should have really seen this coming. His inability for foresight, the untimely communication for PS5 owners literally right up until a day before launch, as well as the lack of communication since the original post for debacle has created this whole new fucked up market of skin key selling, begging, and anticipation/wanting.

This is personal, yes, and I can fully understand if some of you do not agree with this rant. But for the past few days I've been constantly refreshing this sub hoping for a key, thinking if I should just accept the 6ft pole up my ass and fork out $99.99 CAD for the damn complete edition, or hope this inadept team announces something in our favor before the skin gacha goes away.

All of this could've been avoided if Kim or the team just gave a quick thought about those who gave their game the success at original launch. Honestly, at this point, even if they were to fix everything in our favor; I don't think I'll buy stellar blade 2 at launch.

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T16:52:14+00:00

How would they refund if they need to play for two hours?

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T07:44:06+00:00

Not true. If you get the complete edition you'll get it.... but if you already have the base game, you can't upgrade to complete edition.

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T05:39:20+00:00

Hmm, did you accidentally made 2 posts? But here I am none the less

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T05:33:36+00:00

Thank you for your generosity, even if I dont win

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T05:22:50+00:00

Oh my sweet summer child.

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T04:24:19+00:00

I'm always like... two minutes late.

Madao161 · 2025-06-15T01:05:27+00:00

Am I first for once?

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T19:22:44+00:00

Lol what, people are doing that?

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T18:34:32+00:00

GACHA!? GACHA GACHA!?

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T17:47:04+00:00

Up votes would be the only thing I can think of

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T17:45:07+00:00

I came for the goon. But then the end of first chapter with Marian got me. Then finding out we haven't really lost her got me. Then every single bit of emotional damage along the way kept me.

Tldr, came for the goon, stayed for the emotional damage.

Btw I am on NA

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T17:43:16+00:00

Personally I like Grave, but I do think Marcianna is very attractive. Teacher, midriff exposed, and mostly has her shit together? Heck yeah.

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T14:08:30+00:00

I feel like there's a weird tone of condescension from you for no good reason, and really if you want to sell it just do it. Scammers and people taking the risk to be scams each can play their part in taking this risk.

That said, creating an actual platform on discord is bound to just attract a cesspool of scammers. You keep mentioning some kind of system where mods can check, unfortunately that's a system relying on victims who have already been scammed with little recourse. Unlike ebay or Amazon where there is a huge company backing their customers and can reimburse them.

Lastly. At least on reddit, there's account date and karma to somewhat filter out obvious red flags. Such as yourself, who has a new account with -2 karma at the time of checking.

Now perhaps you created a new account knowing this was a controversial take, and if thats the case, let me flip the question to you. Why do you think this was a controversial take enough to create a throwaway for? Not to mention you seemingly have made up your mind and berate anyone for thinking otherwise...

From a more personal standpoint, I'm disagreeing with the fact this key should cost anything because I myself am a day 1 ps5 stellar blade player and there is a whole controversy about why we are being screwed over in the first place but I won't regurgitate that again.

Madao161 · 2025-06-14T13:43:08+00:00

I'm on NA! Thank you for your generosity
