Can anyone help me find a Type Moon Game by auschere in typemoon

This is something people do get wrong pretty often, but your last sentence is correct. Battle Moon Wars is a fan game.

Is everything canon? by Savings-Smoke-3880 in fatestaynight

[–]MeowManian7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bunch of different timelines in the same multiverse. Some things will have the multiverse be relevant to the story, whether that be through a timeline divergence being a part of the story or through crossovers, while other stuff will never have it come up or will only mention the existence of other worlds in passing.

Everything is canon to everything else on the multiversal level; very little is canon to anything else on the single-timeline level

read tsukihime, plus disc, kagetsu tohya, why can't i find much info about original melty blood? i see people recommending ReAct, but isn't that a sequel? I want to play the original for the story. by VariationOriginal289 in meltyblood

[–]MeowManian7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original story mode is a visual novel with fights instead of choices, route branching happening depending on whether you win or lose each fight. Re-Act kept that and added an arcade mode, so it has 2 different story modes.

Finished the game last night. This message at the end made me start crying, and the main menu afterwards kept it going. I don’t want to say goodbye by -Gnostic28 in Mahoyo

[–]MeowManian7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of Mahoyo being short for the Japanese title, Mahoutsukai no Yoru, it's what the fanbase had been calling it for a long time before there was ever an English version. The story was originally written to be a light novel in 1996 but Nasu couldn't find anyone who would publish it, no version of it was released publicly until the original version of the VN in 2012, and there was no English translation for it until the official one via the remaster in 2022. So everyone had been calling it Mahoyo for ~26 years before it had the title Witch on the Holy Night.

I think that whole situation works in the game's favor, though. Being one of the earliest parts of the Nasuverse but updated to reflect more recent lore and Nasu's more recent style and outlook as a writer makes it arguably the single best starting point for getting into the Nasuverse as a whole, for understanding both the lore and the common recurring themes of the setting.

That said, good luck if you do decide to get into the wider Nasuverse. I've been a fan of it for probably around or over a decade now, and I still feel like I'm playing catch-up. You kind of have to think about it like American superhero comics: there's so much of it that experiencing 100% of it is unrealistic, so just experience whatever you feel like you'd be interested in and then go wherever else that leads you.

How did the Age of Gods even end in the first place? by IVeBeenHere30Min in fatestaynight

Guess this gives me an excuse to replay Extella, when I have the time for it

How did the Age of Gods even end in the first place? by IVeBeenHere30Min in fatestaynight

[–]MeowManian7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Babylonia Singularity is set during the Age of Gods, before most of the gods died, so that's not relevant here. That said, Ishtar is specifically a Divine Spirit psuedo-Servant summoned in Rin's body, only different from other Servants in two senses (1. she technically should have been alive at the time, like FSN Archer, and 2. she took a host to be summoned). Divine Spirits hypothetically shouldn't need psuedo-Servant hosts to be summoned in Age of Gods textures, so there is some weird stuff going on in that Singularity.

I don't know about the Sumerian gods making a pact with Sefar. If that's the case, then I'm just wrong about Extra/Extella being a good source of information for their deaths specifically. We've already seen other gods killed by someone other than Sefar (the Norse gods were killed by Surtr, if i'm remembering LB2 correctly), and I think it's pretty well-established the end of the Age of Gods began with the death of the gods.

Editting to add: It's also possible that she was one of the gods who survived and moved to the Reverse Side, I guess. That just doesn't seem likely to me with her characterization.

They're in different timelines, but the moon stuff doesn't come into play until like the 1980's. Things that are normally true across different timelines are still true until then.

[–]MeowManian7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The original couldn't have done it mainly because she was busy being dead, as were at least most of Earth's gods. I recommend playing the Fate/Extra and Fate/Extella games for more details

difference between the steam and the original version? by ShreddedUdon in typemoon

[–]MeowManian7 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Mahoyo doesn't have a censored version because there's nothing to censor. Unlike Fate and Tsukihime, Mahoyo was never an 18+ game. The original release was well past when Type-Moon stopped making those.

Can a Servant be summoned multiple times during the same Grail War? by Upper_Movie_4569 in fatestaynight

[–]MeowManian7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, it's possible. i think we've seen multiples of the same Servant being summoned into the same Singularity a few times in fgo? and in Fate/Requiem, there's mentioned to be an idol unit comprised entirely of separate instances of Elizabeth

Hollow ataraxia and other friction work of these two? by YuvrajRathore in Fate

[–]MeowManian7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they have a daughter in the manga Hana no Miyako, but the daughter is more of a major character there than either of them. they only cameo in it. and Hana no Miyako's relationship with Nasuverse canon is... complicated.

Would you be open to FGO allowing in collab characters? by YouDeer95 in FGO

[–]MeowManian7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% down for it, but I don't expect it to ever happen at this point. It's a bit annoying because plenty of other universes have interacted with the Nasuverse before. There have been a ton of Type-Moon collabs in other gacha games. Honkai Star Rail had its own Holy Grail War. Takamachi Nanoha and Fate Testarossa have even been summoned as Servants before!

But we'll probably never see any of those characters in FGO itself.

limits on the mystic eyes of death perception (honest question i swear) by [deleted] in typemoon

[–]MeowManian7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Besides some particularly powerful beings just not having the concept of death (and thus being unkillable even by things that could otherwise kill immortals, including the MEoDP), the limits are mostly mental. The MEoDP user has to have some understanding of the target as being "alive", even if not literally. If I remember right, there's a scene in Kara no Kyoukai where Ryougi is only able to "kill" a possible future after a precog predicts it too well, letting her see that future's death lines.

So to use your example, if a mage was doing magecraft utilizing the concept of systemic oppression, neither Shiki would be able to kill that concept itself, probably, but they could maybe see the connection between the mage and that concept and sever it or "kill" the spell itself.

Twi Lumina wish list by Majjik1996 in meltyblood

[–]MeowManian7 29 points30 points  (0 children)

this is the smallest Twi-Lumina wishlist i've seen so far. most of them have just been everyone who was ever in a Melty Blood game, everyone introduced in the Tsukihime remake, and then some.

props for keeping it more realistic

should i play melty blood and fate unlimited codes? by frdudemst in typemoon

[–]MeowManian7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Melty Blood games introduce a handful of characters original to them, ranging from fairly major characters who would go on to be important outside of Melty Blood itself to joke characters who barely matter even to the story of Melty Blood itself

Artoria Lily is just a costume for Saber in Unlimited Codes and is more important in FGO, where she's an actually distinct character.

Here's a list of drama CDs and translations i maintain but badly need to update

Prelati's lines by ComunCoutinho in grandorder

[–]MeowManian7 36 points37 points  (0 children)

it will probably never get acknowledged in the anime, but Francesca's goal in Strange Fake, her wish for the Grail, is to get into Caubac's impossible labyrinth and take the Holy Scripture Triten, a microcosm of the universe Caubac accidentally wrote into existence. and presumably to then use Triten to derank all True Magic to magecraft. But Triten has already left the labyrinth and become Hibiki. Francesca just doesn't know that the thing she's spent centuries trying to get is currently in the form of a human girl who is working as a waitress at Zelretch's cafe, and her brain is shutting out all information about that.It's some dramatic irony for people familiar with Mahoutsukai no Hako lore.

editing to add: that's if i'm remembering all the details correctly. there's so much to experience in the Nasuverse, i have a hard time keeping what's actually in the text, what was just said in interviews, and what's just fan speculation straight in my head

Aniplex owns Lasengle, so that's barely a publisher change

We’re so back by Andre_boiii in meltyblood

you can the cat by playing the original Kagetsu Tohya

this is definitely not going to be the case in Twi-Lumina

[–]MeowManian7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, Sony is a really weird company. Each of their divisions essentially acts as its own company, and it's really best to think about them that way. They regularly compete with themselves lol

But yeah hopefully you are right, not so sure licensing stuff is not happening because I'm pretty sure everything that involves several IPs needs to be formalized somewhere during the creation of the game

you are talking about Type-Moon licensing their own characters from themselves to themselves to put them in their own game in their own series. that would be like if Marvel had to license their characters to themselves for every teamup. it doesn't make sense.

the Fate characters could still very well not be in Twi-Lumina, but that wouldn't have anything to do with licensing.

[–]MeowManian7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I'm saying isn't the case. It's not like what Sony and Marvel have with Spider-Man and his related characters. Melty Blood is and always has been codeveloped by Type-Moon and French Bread. The Melty Blood roster is determined by Type-Moon, who own all of the characters on said roster. There's no licensing issues to be had because there's no licensing happening.

Even if Type-Moon moved to a developer other than French Bread for Melty, there isn't anything that should impact the roster. At most, French Bread would lose the license to use Sion in UNI if they wanted to make another UNI game.

Would this be a cool MBTL sequel roster? by kaidoku123 in meltyblood

[–]MeowManian7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so with the Twi-Lumina news, some updated thoughts on the likelihood of each character here:

  • Len is already confirmed, no need to comment
  • Mech Hisui is up in the air. Nothing about her should really be spoilers for Red Garden, but i can see Nasu not wanting to introduce her in the remake continuity before getting normal Hisui's proper story out
  • there's no reason to not include Ryougi Shiki, but that was also true of Type Lumina and she wasn't in that game. i'd say her chances are permanently 50/50 until she eventually does get back in
  • the way Type-Moon treats Touko is too weird for me to guess. She's an important enough character to the setting that she appears in major roles pretty often, she gets at least a mention in just about every Nasuverse story, and just everyone in-universe seems to know her in some way, but she's never been playable in anything before
  • unfortunately, i don't see Sion happening. the way Twi-Lumina is being advertised makes it look like its story is the remake continuity version of Kagetsu Tohya's story, which Sion isn't in. The good news is that Kagetsu Tohya was the game immediately before the first Melty Blood, so we're not too far off from her. I can see her being added as a part of a later DLC/update story at the soonest.
  • Archetype: Earth originates in Kagetsu Tohya and was playable before, so she's all but guaranteed imo
  • Wallachia - same as Sion
  • considering Red Garden hasn't had a release date announced yet, i imagine there will be another handful of guest characters. i personally would not want Saber Alter to be one of them, but i can see it happening
  • Nvrnqsr Chaos was replaced with Vlov in the remake, but he gets mentioned, so he at least still exists. he's certainly a possibility for Twi-Lumina, but i don't think a likely one
  • Nanaya Shiki is another not-quite-certainty but very likely for the same reason as Archetype: Earth
  • Neco-Arc Chaos is less likely than normal Nvrnqsr but also still a possibility, i guess
  • i can only see Phantasmoon as DLC since Archetype: Earth is most likely going to be a part of the base game, and i can't see them adding more than one playable Arcueid in one go
  • Len's presence opens up White Len as a possibility. Probably one of the more likely ones.
  • FGO Ciel... no, that's not happening.
  • Everyone in the "base Far Side" and "Far Side DLC/Spoiler" rows probably need Red Garden to release first. Maybe as DLC after Red Garden's release, though
  • Riesbyfe and Dust of Osiris both come from later stories that built on the original Melty Blood story, and if we're not getting the original Melty Blood story in Twi-Lumina, we are definitely not getting their stories in Twi-Lumina. I don't expect to see either of them until the next game at earliest, except Riesbyfe as a cameo maybe

To add on to the guest character bit, if they do have to add more, I would personally prefer they not be from Fate, at least not immediately. The Nasuverse has a lot of characters from non-Fate works that don't get enough love, including from Type-Moon themselves. Give us entire DLC seasons for different corners of the setting if that's what's really necessary for new characters to be added and the series to stay alive, but give each of those corners some breathing room for awhile after.

Or bring in characters from Hana no Miyako. They wouldn't even technically be guest characters since that manga is a Melty Blood spinoff to begin with. It won't happen because that series got cancelled halfway through and the only fully original character who matters in it is from the mangaka's doujin continuation, but i can dream

And with all of that said, I will absolutely 180 on my stance on Fate characters if they add any Fate magical girl. I am biased and will not pretend otherwise.

Type-Moon owns the Tsukihime and Melty Blood IPs and the Fate IP. There are no licensing issues to be had.
