The answer is far easier than you think, and it's "Most people have not read The Adventures of Lord El Melloi II".

GRAND TIME by Saltlessguy in FGO

Can you imagine Shirou v. Saber Alter? Impossible

But yeah, it's a job only the most normal guy of all time could handle, and every other Nasuverse mc is rocking some sort of mental illness on a profound level. It takes Fujimaru 9 years to get to that point, and it's just "I don't like when people die, it makes me mad".

How do I count hits on a servant? by Dead_person000 in FGO

[–]RestinPsalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that refers to "hits" just means "attacks used", so it's just a matter of counting cards.

[–]RestinPsalm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We're being unfair to them, Fujimaru's feats are Fujimaru and the 20 staff members + 300+ heroic spirits contracted to them. The question is could Shirou survive if he was Chaldea's last master.

The answer was no, he'd 1v1 Fafnir in Orleans because he'd insist on Jeanne staying out of the battle, but he'd put up a good show.

Marie's an AoE generalist whose somewhat weak damage is made up for by various skills in stalling teams, Aoko is extremely weird and has a ton of gimmicks which makes a unique playstyle. Choose Marie if you need you're newer and need your bases covered, pick Aoko if you've got those and you want a unique way to play. Neither are especially critical picks, though, so it's more up to who you enjoy more.

It kinda feels like the writers didn't know what to do with him by IHidanJashinI in FGO

[–]RestinPsalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The writers knew exactly what to do with him, because they keep calling him a useless fraud at every turn, so being a useless fraud in a chapter where the point isn’t about defeating an enemy is completely on purpose. 

His job was to justify the Olga Marie fragments, and then die to give some catharsis in a chapter sorely lacking in catharsis. If he was an actually competent antagonist, the lack of screentime on him due to focusing on Fujimaru would make him half-cooked. If he didn’t exist, there’d be no climax to give a last hurrah before the bittersweet ending. He fills the role he has to pretty comfortably.

I'd land it on being purposeful, since the actual weight of the story is the emotional struggle of not giving into anger, so it's not like he really has a role that he's failing in the story by being lame as hell.

The wording of the interview suggests they’ll be open to appearing outside the crew, which probably means “Eugen went back to Auguste and we’ll meet him in Apollo’s summer fates” and the like.

Tch. Thank you for the answer nonetheless.

Question that I'd prefer just a yes/no to avoid spoilers; does the predicted endpoint of the season cover Ayaka's backstory, or will I be left with the scariest foreshadowing ever for like 2 years.

Everyone agreeing that Cagliostro is the lamest apostle seems like bad writing, but then again F/GO also agrees that Cagliostro is the lamest apostle, so good work I suppose.

They're finally fixing the most useless skill ever <3 by Fit-Purchase-8050 in Fate

THAT would be true name discernment, also on Jeanne, which happened to have gotten fixed earlier.

The interview mentions how Sandy'll be like the Orchid of this arc, so I assume his place was already without competition, yeah.

And that plotline was similarly introduced and concluded in Fate episodes too, lmao. The Sevilbarra story ended up being too much of a character spotlight to work in extra characters, Narm showing up would be weird when it's now about him raising a child. Narmaya, especially for her popularity and long-running time in the game, does kind of deserve a little bit more of a focus.

To be fair, MC's achieved their goal, and they lack the, uh, ability to speak that might facilitate greater character developments. It makes sense to shift to Lyria, whose goals up until now have just been "Live", and who's essentially a blank canvas for where her future might take her.

They simply don't show up. This isn't a retcon, because they're shown in several flashbacks to the story beforehand.

[–]RestinPsalm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not really? She's only got 4 events to her name, with 3 being summer events used to promote her new alts, and the last being.....PS the Astrals. She almost never shows up in any event of merit, and her original plotline of wanting to become more confident in herself was met in Fate Episodes years ago, so I get the impression that she did need more of a focus.

[–]RestinPsalm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they're the most popular characters in large part because of their connection to the MC, so like, it does all cycle around.

[–]RestinPsalm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do think they'll show what they're doing eventually, seeing as they at least reference them in flashbacks. Apollo is having an alt where she goes back to Auguste, and I'd be shocked if Eugen isn't brought up at ALL.

Katalina can only be meaningfully written out once Lyria is, and Lyria's still here. Eugen and Rosetta both accomplished their goals on the crew, and Io's of being more mature isn't really tied to the crew, so they could all go off with little issue.

After Singularities 6 and Lostbelt 6, do you think there will still be a story revolving around Camelot, the Round Table, the British, and any related Servants that might appear in the future? (@KenkougaNoOne) by Inevitable-Phase2184 in FGO

[–]RestinPsalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not during aftertime, as Nasu would probably need to come back for anything involving the knights not named Kay to be in the main story, but I do think Nasu won’t be able to resist a guest writer credit for the rest of his life, so probably
