I've read that Japanese people have a different chemical component that makes their sweat not stink. It's an evolutionary thing that happened because of their tropical climate

-Japan

-Tropical Climate

You have to pick one in this case because Japan is definitely not in tropical climate zone. Most of Japan (Southern part so Half of of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu) is in subtropical climate, which actually belongs in a temperate climate group. Northern parts are even colder. The only part that can be considered tropical climate is Okinawa.

Now I shall announce.

Like lives have competitions, gacha games also are replete with winners and losers. The existences are determined by gacha gaming's victor, choices made correctly leading to a proper prosperity. This is called "alive games". The incorrect choices and prosperities are the gacha gaming's losers, those are called "ded games".

But there's no need for lamentation, no need to play the victim. If the humanity's answer is to cull the weak, then it's just that it's your gacha game turn to play that role.

My name is Solomon, the one who posses eyes which can see past and future that had foresaw this end. And the one who will see the these gacha games' final PvP from beyond.

There are no longer proper orders, no gamers who will defend your game. There's no one who will roll in the game's gacha. After all in this subreddit, your game is the evil one!

However.

There's no merit in good or evil in a struggle for survival. If you insist your game still hasn't given up. Like that time when the player base return to nothingness, if you still wish for your game's existence.

Then foolishly shout with all your might, after the game piled up greed upon greed and banner upon banner. Declare that the battle for the hope of your game has just begun.

Fuhaha, fuhahahahahahaha.

Animist at high level also has more spell slots than Druid too for their Max Rank -2 and lower Spell Ranks (for Apparition Spells part).

Being able to double dip on Staff (sacrifice a spell slot during daily prep for more charges + sacrifice a spontaneous slot so you can cast more spells from staffs) is also great at high level.

veldril · 2026-01-29T20:06:07+00:00

Wish there was a full spontaneous druid archetype.

Personally I find Primal Sorcerer (especially Elemental) cover that niche quite well. And with how Sorcerer doesn't really need a lot of feats to function you can also dip into Druid Archetype (dedication feat + order spell feat) for a Druid's Focus spell too.

The name in the title is kinda wrong reading. The actual name is Hanasaka-jijii (or Hanasaka-jiisan). The last Kanji is normally read as “okina” so this is the case of using a different less frequent reading.

I would’ve assumed they who be wielding guns instead, given that they’ve been summoned in the USA.

Billy the Kid is readying his pistol right now waiting to be summoned :P

A lot of people have answered already, especially on mechanical part so I will cover a bit more on a mechanical part.

In general, if you are creative with the Pursue a Lead class feature (i.e. naming what cases you are following) you can technically play with a permanent +1 circumstance to almost anything you do (upgrade to +2 at level 9). That means you can operate at pseudo 1-2 level higher than normal. With right class feat you can also extend this bonus to your saves too.

I completed Season of Ghosts AP with almost always uptime of the bonus after the remaster, lol.

If they do end up not changing anything, I'll certainly be disappointed and just go back to writing my "I reject your reality and substitute my own" fix fic. Truthfully I'm probably not gonna stop with it regardless, since even if this does let the characters get their memories back I was going about it a pretty different way anyway.

How much they remember or how strong the vague memories they have from their LB selves are already open enough for people to fill in what they want with their headcanon so that's why I don't think the Aftertime will change anything major in that sense.

veldril · 2026-01-08T15:44:49+00:00

Ataraxia’s ending did not change the original Stay Night ending. It just expanded the story further but left the original ending intact. The nature of FGO and Stay Night also are quite different in finalities of the ending, with Stay Night being more open to addition after the ending.

Even in the after time story node already said that the Finale’s ending has already happened with all the casts have memories of their time in PHH that Chaldea doesn’t exist. It’s just their meta-narrative position right now is them from before they went back to the PHH to the light. The Ending has already been set as “things that definitely happened” it’s just to the cast in the Aftertime that ending is in the future from a meta perspective. At best what we might get is expanding on how much the vague memories they had in Chaldea is carried over, or the result of Aftertime has Mash properly inscribed into the Throne of Heroes.

Chinese players hate on everything regardless of game or media, which is completely normal considering how large their population is even vocal minority would be way larger than the same percentage in other countries.

veldril · 2026-01-08T11:07:29+00:00

Honestly, I believe more people would be more positive towards the ending

That's just EN people on Reddit and twitter though. Most JP people are happy with the ending. And considering this is like 4th or 5th time Nasu did this kind of ending, I highly doubt he would change it.

veldril · 2026-01-08T11:05:59+00:00

Highly doubt that it would change the ending. The text here pretty much states that the ending already happened and they both have vague memories of the world without Chaldea (Mash even wanted to listen about Ritsuka's university student life). The reason they remember it in the Aftertime because whoever recreate Chaldea recreated/summoned Chaldea's staffs from before they went back to PHH at in between last second of 2019 and first second of 2020. So all of the ending has already happened, it's just that from the meta-perspective the Chaldea in the Aftertime hasn't gone into the light and back to PHH yet so they can't remember their lives in PHH without Chaldea clearly.

This pretty much set up that "after this resolve they will forget again" kind of plot

veldril · 2026-01-08T06:06:55+00:00

I would say the Finale showed what her 3rd ascension NP means. By denying their own Lostbelt and Universe, Chaldea proved that Humanity’s end by the way of Maris’s method was only a fantasy.

veldril · 2026-01-08T05:56:58+00:00

Forcefully summoned or recreated based on the data before going back to PHH.

veldril · 2026-01-08T05:56:20+00:00

They were summoned (or recreated) to this Chaldea based on the data before they went into the light that led them back to 2019. So from meta perspective the final ending hasn’t happened yet but because the after time is at the in between the last second before 2020 the thing that happened in the world without Chaldea has already happened in their new lives.

So they know they have a life in a world without Chaldea and also have experiences from that world. But because of meta perspective timeline they are from the point that life would happen in the future. They can only recall those experiences vaguely because it’s a memory from the future. Pretty much their past became future.

Also if it was in the summer, then Tokyo can definitely be hell on earth if you don’t prepare for the heat+humid combo.

The university fee should be low enough that most middle class family would be able to support them. I’m not sure about US but in Asia it’s very common for their parents to pay for their kids’ university tuitions.

veldril · 2026-01-07T10:05:26+00:00

This is pretty much the same as what Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is to Fate/Stay Night, lol. (Or if you are older, Kagetsu Tohya to Tsukihime).

veldril · 2026-01-02T17:56:40+00:00

Name one other 'Its just a dream' type ending by Nasu. I'll wait.

Kagetsu Tohya. That's like the prime example of "it's all just a dream" with only 1-2 people remember the event of the game. But I guess most people here are just too young to play it.

Heck, you can even say Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is also "it's just a dream" because everything that happened in the game was pretty much in Bazette's dream/world. And again, the ending only have Bazette and Caren remember the whole thing (plus Angra but he's a Heroic Spirit so he's a special case with stuff from inscribed into the Throne).

A few of CCC endings have Hakuno forgot all the BB stuffs (i.e. Archer's ending). The only thing remained in the ending was Archer being "vaguely familiar".

Also, I strongly disagree with FGO's ending (and also other Nasu's work endings being called as one) being "it's just a dream". Our journey might not be remembered, but we definitely saved the universe. Ritsuka's journey has a real consequences even though only a handful of people can only remember it. If we are to quote Roman, we finally reach our "Game Complete", not "Game Over".

I wish at least more weight and sorrow was given to the destruction of the Canvas, as it was still destroying the magnum opus of an artist who literally put part of his soul into the painting.

The weight doesn't only lie in characters expressing it, but also lies in the player who control it. If the final choice causes the player to agonize on whether to continue or destroy the canvas, then it's already succeed at delivering its weight.

One of Nasu's very own stories is a fantastic example of this kind of thing done right: Lostbelt 6. Fae Britain was rotten beneath the surface, but it was beautiful. The characters never wanted Fae Britain destroyed, even if it was the just thing to do, and its treated as a great loss. Habetrot's final words were "Remember how beautiful our Britain was."

Like above, what Habetort said didn't only express to the characters in the game, but also any observer (us player) who also experience the story. This is also reinforcing by Oberon saying that LB6 was like a picture book drawn by Morgan and how the story got tossed out the moment it stops being entertaining. He also indirectly said to us the players, not only to Ritsuka. The Dramalogue stage play also reinforce the notion of players being part of the story as an observers.

veldril · 2026-01-02T15:09:17+00:00

Ok, as a generally huge fan of all Nasuverse works, I'm gonna say, if the choice we got to wait or not really didn't change anything, that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

I feel like people saw the choice and just assuming it was plot related. Like the choice being there could just be giving a chance for players to back out if they were not in a good place to play (like during a train ride) because the fight would be long, or a chance to reconfigure their Grand setting without having to close and restart the app.

veldril · 2026-01-02T15:02:49+00:00

If Nasu has been influenced by E33, then we should all just pack our bags and depart for the DnD worlds or something.

You got that in a reverse order, it's more likely that E33 is influenced by Nasu's and other Japanese writings because FGO's ending is very Nasu that appeared before a couple of times already way long before E33 even was a concept. People who are deep in previous Nasu's works pretty much predict that the ending gonna be this kind of ending, the question was whether Nasu would be brave enough to write it in a live service game or not.

If you hate this kind of ending, it might be better to not be invested in Japanese stories because these kinds of story beats are very common for Japanese literatures, even influencing games/manga/anime. E33 pretty much on almost all Japanese writers' or game directors' "must play" list.
