Musuko 304 Posted August 4, 2019 I've been getting back into Fate recently. Has anyone else seen any Fate? The most popular adaptations are Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, both by Ufotable. If you don't know what Fate is, it's a battle between mages to get the Holy Grail, an omnipotent wish granting device. Helping these mages are Servants, which are based off of historical figures like Thomas Edison, King Arthur, and Alexander the Great. What really interests me about Fate is that although magic is acknowledged as being extremely important, it is also the source of a lot of pain for both families and individuals. Many characters from Fate are fleshed out, and it can be argued that Fate/Zero does not have a protagonist for its first season. I have already seen Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, but I'm still going to read the source material for those extra bits of information. I'm also playing Fate/Grand Order every now and then, which is just crazy and a mess so far. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The History Kid 859 Posted August 4, 2019 I started on Fate UBW, but haven't finished it yet, mainly due to UFOTable's influence. They did ToB and ToZX, so that was my entry point. I will eventually get back to UBW on Netflix, since they actually have the 5.1 soundtrack, but in the meantime I've been playing WAY too much Grand Order. The dialogue is magical.

XII360 699 Posted August 5, 2019 im planning on watching fate series after my boards exam need to catch up on everything i've missed from studying (its been a real long time since i watched anime, started watching one episode during my breaktime from studies xD) though, chances are, ill read the VN rather than watch the movie, (im a novel fanatic xD) as for fgo... im still logging on it everyday, (waiting for memelin to pop up, and for hikikomori princess to come, im rolling for both of them, i saved up 600SQ and 120tickets just for a proper support (memelin) and waifu-hime <3) (just logging in though...sometimes play, but major of the time, i cant even play them, and just login x_x) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm beyond salt over the Alma banner. With FGO - I got the Berserker Oda Nobunaga, and I'm more stoked about it than I probably should be. Chick is absolutely bat frig crazy. That being said, the Fate series is killing the historian in me by genderbending all of these historical figures. There's a constant screaming in my head about how wrong it all is. lol 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really wish they came up with some kind of psuedo science for it rather than trying to casually explain it as some conspiracy driven historical mystery. The two titles I'm referring to there are Tales of Berseria and Zestiria X. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musuko 304 Posted August 6, 2019 Since Seshi did a quiz for Shield Hero, one for Fate would be perfect. https://www.quotev.com/quiz/9938649/Which-Servant-Class-From-Fate-Would-You-Summon I got Mashu. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The History Kid 859 Posted August 6, 2019 So, I got Ruler in that quiz - but I really feel like some of the questions could be used to factor into that. Mainly when it asks you "what do you prefer" and the descriptions of the answers are literally the definitions of the classes. I am mad though, there was no option to "explode everything a lot" as a method of fighting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want a five star unit. Just to say I have a five star unit. The stars apparently don't mean all that much in this game outside of the rarity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
