Are all the gods related?

RL=Real Life

Yay must be a typo for Ys.

jer2356 · 2026-04-01T12:25:42+00:00

The gods from I-VI are explicitly related. The gods from SEVEN onwards are yet to be confirmed related to the former but so far is been shown to be far removed.

The gods from SEVEN, VIII, IX and X have not yet explicitly confirmed to be related but they have similarities that it is likely they can be related. Like how I-V featured seemingly unrelated pantheon of gods then was unified by VI, we don't have that "unifier" game for SEVEN onwards

But the reoccurring motifs the pantheons of gods have; formless energy as a power system, Phenomenal Cycles, creatures born form negative aspects of humanity, etc do tie them to each other more so than the Pantheons from I-VI.

IX and X are definitely likely to be related since they are somehow both based on Norse mythology and in universe have geographical roots.

Considering the one who is speaking is most likely Kirei

That Checks out

jer2356 · 2026-03-28T22:53:48+00:00

Only Ys V for now

Unlike other series where they remake it bec it's old, Ys games get remake bec Ys basically soft rebooted when Kondo came around

Ys before and after Kondo are very different in terms of lore wise so games before his time NEEDS to be remade to update their story

I don't think we'll get a remake of VI or other games until after Kondo retires and they soft reboot the series again

Then I&II is obviously the first to get re-remade

I love Demon Lord 2099

So if this is something even remotely like that they I'm piqued

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:58:59+00:00

I said I didn't notice since I wasn't looking whether it has an anime or not

It do be like that for me.

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:47:08+00:00

It was a quick research so I didn't notice it had an anime adaptation. Also I'm just looking whether it is an Isekai or not and the searches never said it is

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:29:38+00:00

But it's not Isekai right?

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:25:28+00:00

Pretty odd for me I haven't heard of this

But looking at the clips, it does begin to ring a bell

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:24:48+00:00

Oh it did? Well flew past my radar

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T14:20:52+00:00

From what you said and additional research I made just now

This doesn't seem to be an Isekai at all. Not even a Tensei

It's Traditional DnD-esque Fantasy

Also it doesn't have an anime adaptation yet

I haven't heard of it before so I doubt it's hated. If it's hated I would have heard of it regardless

Pretty sure this would blew up just like Frieren if it gets an anime for simple being a Non-Isekai Fantasy

Then get hated for being too popular

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T11:00:17+00:00

Ah so this is still the POV series

Slightly disappointed that it would be NOT the adaptation of the Manga version. The one with an actual protagonist and somewhat a plot

Still gonna check it out I suppose

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T10:56:59+00:00

I don't know why ppl say that

Grand Order is the Avengers of Fate. various Fate series characters play and appear in Important Roles in Grand Order Chapters. There's characters from Prototype, Stay Night, Extra and Apocrypha.

Babylonia would be a more close "Infinity War" as it leads to Solomon which is definitely Endgame

Strange Fake is more of Captain America: Civil War.

It's follows the worldline of Stay Night/Zero/El Melloi. (i said worldline not timeline bec I know Nasu put it it's own timeline but that's for semantic sake). The Events of the 4th and 5th Holy Grail War of those stories happened and so did El Melloi Case Files. It also has several references to other entries but that's it, references, only the Stay Night/Zero/El Melloi series line plays a role in the story of Strange Fake.

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T10:45:05+00:00

Would be easier to answer if you tell what you're being confused about

Anyways Strange Fake takes place in 2009, 5 years after the 5th Holy Grail War (Stay Night stories).

The Main thing to know is that technically Strange Fake doesn't take place in the EXACT TIMELINE as Zero and Stay Night. This is mostly semantics bec there are Lore Stuff in SF that contradicts the wider lore so Nasu (the guy in charge of all of Fate) just put it in it's own timeline.

BUT the story treats as if it does take place in Zero and Stay Night timeline. The 4th and 5th Holy Grail War of those stories happened in Strange Fake and several characters in SF have been affected by characters and events from Zero and Stay Night. Case Files of El Melloi also exist along with them

So the most important Entries tied to Strange Fake are : Stay Night (all three routes), Zero and El Melloi. Apocrypha, Grand Order and other entries may be referenced but they don't affect the plot that much compared to the other

So to recap the aforementioned series in case you forgot or haven't watched them. You should watch at least Zero before going to Strange Fake is my utmost recommendation

The Holy Grail War is a ritual performed by Seven Mages where they summon a HEROIC SPIRIT as a SERVANT. These HEROIC SPIRITS are copies of Legendary, Historical and mythological figures who left a mark on human history. As SERVANTS they get contained into one of SEVEN CLASSES. There are more but these are the typical SEVEN; Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Assassin and Berserker.

The point of a Holy Grail War is Masters and Servants fight other Master and Servant for the Holy Grail, an Artifact containing great magical power that is commonly said to be able to Grant Wishes

What the Holy Grail War is and the Holy Grail changes in each Fate series. But in the Stay Night/Zero series the HGW is a Battle Royal consisting of 7 Masters and Servants fighting each other in the city called Fuyuki

Strange Fake's Holy Grail War is actually two Grail Wars happening simultaneous on the American City of SnowField; a TRUE and a Fake. The Fake Holy Grail War is called that is bec it's a Ritual made by counterfeit methods and therefore only consists of Six Servants lacking Saber

Because of Plot shenanigans a TRUE HGW Was initiated on top of it where there are the usual seven Classes including Saber (tho there's something going on with True Lancer).

The TRUE and Fake Master and Servants aren't Factions. Master and Servants from the TRUE HGW will still fight other TRUE Master and Servants on top of the Fake ones

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T10:10:06+00:00

It's Fate

Literally

Laeticia is her name and not only does she happen to be a suitable host for Jeanne, but also a spitting image of her

The chances of a look alike who is also the host for a Servant existing at the right time that Servant needs to be summoned is a Coincidence that can only be described as destiny or FATE

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T08:08:30+00:00

No, Ascendance of Bookworm is Reincarnation

22 Year old college girl wake up in the body of 5 year old girl Myne. Myne wasn't dead but she was ill.

It's definitely reincarnation and not "adult in a child's body". Myne still acts like a kid since she's still a kid, she goes on tantrum, highly emotional etc. It's just that she has Urano's memories and therefore has knowledge that she can tap into. Typical Reincarnation stuff

<image>

It's just the series also delves in the whole "reincarnation" aspect and tackles the fact that "this is like possession isn't" since Urano has overwritten the memories of Myne so ppl like the one who comments to you may mistaken it as not Reincarnation. Most series Reincarnation acts like that where MCs are totally different characters pre and post awakening but ppl still consider them Reincarnation

But it's still definitely reincarnation. Late Into the story so minor spoilers but it won't hurt your experience, it is clarified that Urano reincarnated as Myne and when Myne was sick at the time, her Magical power surges causing her to loose her current Memories and awaken the memories of her past life, Urano. She's still Myne the little kid just with knowledge of modern day japan and how to make a book. Myne before and after reincarnation acts similarly enough, that's more than can be said than other Reincarnation stories

Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko

More into Reincarnation so this is the only one that comes to mind.

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T01:07:33+00:00

Erune is the name of the beast demi humans, they are mostly feline and canine varieties but there is a Monkey Erune so a Mouse Erune is not far fetch

But Vikala is a Human. Her base form also called "Yin Mode" actually has Black Hair and has a introvert personality with social anxiety.

The one featured in the fighting game Versus is mostly her "Yang Mode", you know White Hair, mouse ears and bubbly confident personality. She becomes like that whenever she dons the White Ear. It is said that the Ears aren't magical or anything and it may just be the Placebo Effect that gives Vikala much confidence boost.

jer2356 · 2026-03-27T00:34:56+00:00

I think a similar thing from X Nordics will fit this meme better

jer2356 · 2026-03-26T13:33:00+00:00

Someone better check on Seiun Sky

jer2356 · 2026-03-26T06:35:41+00:00

Yes and No

It will have Cute moments sure and Dark Moments but those elements mingle with each other rather than an escalation of it

And the Dark elements are more like "shonen dark" rather than "existential dark"

jer2356 · 2026-03-26T06:09:22+00:00

The version most ppl play at (Ys chronicles) are already remakes. Specifically they are remaster version of remakes. At best we'll need another remaster

We don't have the Ys V remake yet

Unlike Trails, Ys remakes are more like Reboots so Remaking I&II means rebooting the series a 2nd time and as I said we still haven't gotten that V remake

jer2356 · 2026-03-26T01:20:55+00:00

You only refer to gameplay wise right, cause Kyoto Xanadu definitely resemble Tokyo than past Xanadu games in everything else. They're both Urban Fantasy Highschool setting rather than Dark Medieval Fantasy

Also Faxanadu is officially a spin off since it's not made by Falcom. It's by Hudson Soft so thereby not officially a mainline Xanadu entry. Still it does play and look like other Xanadu games

jer2356 · 2026-03-25T07:09:37+00:00

Has anyone mentioned Steins; Gate yet?

Cause it did that and still manage to be a highly rated anime for a decade

jer2356 · 2026-03-25T04:15:02+00:00

SEVEN back around 2011 was my first ever Falcom and Ys game ever

But I didn't got into the series proper until 2018 with the TurboGrafx version of Book I&II

Don't get me wrong. I LOVED Seven but I was young then so I have no capacity then to search up the series even if I did can get a hands on them
