Current Events > Anime & Other Stuff General v141: ''I have to be a lonely warrior tonight.''

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pop watching UBW will be interesting, and I can actually read the spoilers, hooray!
---

Yeah, just make sure not to accidentally include anything Fate/Zero related (like comparisons) in your spoiler tags, for Itachi's sake.
---

Gotcha. I'll mark Zero related things separate, if I feel the need to mention.

Aww hell yeah. Kaiji Tang is this. Awesome voice actor. It's probably safe to say that's Archer then? She wanted Saber, but I'm going to go ahead and say that isn't Saber.

Watch what now?

First impression.

Don't really care much for Rin. Archer seems like a cool dude though. Lancer seems alright. And Saber showed up last minute to drag the whole show down. Why couldn't it have been a different Saber?

Every fucking saber is the same by the way, so don't expect much from that garbage tier waifu.

The magical girl spin off starring the loli Ilya and advertises itself as a yuri series, but in reality is a pseudo harem series with everything with a vagina, legal or not, wetting themselves over Emiya.

Cause Saber-face is unfortunately the series mascot and one of the main reason Saber class sucks

If you ignore the 4th season it's still a yuri show where everything with a vagina, legal or not, are wetting themselves over miyu

But why though? I could think of a ton of historic figures who could easily fit into the Saber Class.

I'm probably going to regret asking this from the outside of this fanbase, but... how many fucking Sabers are there?
---

There are many other figures that fall in the Saber class, like Attila the Hun, Julieus Ceasar, Siegfried, Le Chevalier d'Eon, Gawain. It's just almost none of them are summoned in animes, aside from Siegfried.

Most of them are from Fate Grand Order, or Fate Extra/Extella.

Saber is a character in a fighting game so I automatically have to like her

they're all characters in a fighting game lol

look up fate unlimited codes (warning: it's extremely high execution garbage)

actually maybe don't look it up since it's probably full of spoilers for fate but if you don't care about that then go ahead
---

Why the hell not? Everyone else is different, why not give a different Saber a chance?

saber is like, the face of the franchise as a whole at this point. It's basically like the reason Link always looks the same in zelda even where there's plenty of reasons he could look like anything else. iirc their artist also really likes her

Should I repost that Saberface party

Also on a completely unrelated note I just finished Lise's route in Symphonic Rain. Also possible Fal route spoilers.
Good lord Grave is just such a vile, reprehensible dude. It's been a while since I did Fal, but was Grave also the guy who sponsored her? I remember him appearing at some point. And is there any indication that Lise got the score she so cherished in the end?

Alright, this Saber thing is starting to give me a headache. So I was under the impression they were just re using Saber over and over, and they are. But not only that, but they made a bunch of other Sabers just re skins of Saber? What the actual fuck?

I'm pretty sure the answer to both of those is yes

also yeah, lise route is very good at making you want to just punch that guy, he's actually like the biggest jerk and then "reforms" just so that he can trick you into letting your guard down it's very :|

the letters to/from arietta in lise route also make me very sad

Honestly, it's kind of making me mad. "Let's just keep copy and pasting this one character over a bunch of other characters because why not."

That sprite Grave has where he's smiling and has one eye closed. I think it first shows up when he's gloating about how a fortelle player has no need for their legs or throat, and I was thinking I haven't felt that angry at a fictional character in a while. You don't trust him when he "reforms" and Chris doesn't either but Lise just seems to so desperately want to believe her father is more than just an abusive man but it's not like Chris could convince her with "no don't do it he's still a prick".

It's mostly why i don't care about saber anymore, not only she's the definition of generic now because her 30+ copies, her representation in the animes is the worst shit ever and totally forgettable as a character.

Any other character, even side characters, show more personality than her.

Fuck give me fate/zero lancer instead of that shit character that won pet status for the franchise any day.
---

Yeah, you basically watch the shows for every servant and character except Saber. Though we always know who is gonna be around in the end...

Assassin and Berserker/Rider tend to be treated like jokes.

Okay, this final rampant sidequest super boss in Blue Reflection is bunk af. 90% or something evasion for every attack and an unblockable party wipe attack at 10k health left. And then even if you survive that by roiding the girls up with every buff in the book and temporary Max HP raising items, it's the chicken fucker's turn again and at that point you are so weak it basically just needs to poke you with a stick and you're done.

Wew lad. I need more magical girls for this.

the best part of gust RPGs are the broken af optional bosses tbh.

The only attacks I could get to consistently hit that thing were Yuzu's self-damaging attacks. So I just had Hina and Lime charge ether while Yuzu did everything with Overdrive.

I never thought i'd see the day where a game by ZUN would make it to steam, this is a huge milestone.

I wonder if you can still use the regular translation patch for this...
---

if you cant, im sure that would be fixed rather quickly.
---

I mean the patcher iirc is pretty much an .exe you run on the folder, i already did it with my, ahem, legal standalone copy of the game, don't see why it wouldn't work with a steam release.

Now i wonder how much it will be.

shut up and take my money

Finally got to repairing my Umaru cushion. The polystyrene beads I got are apparently a lot bigger than the ones inside Umaru, so she'll be a bit chunky when I'm finished.

With the new season they need to make one of all the girls.
