Shiroe Posted August 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a constant screaming in my head about how wrong it all is. lol Hahaha, isn't that Fate for you. Have you seen what Thomas Edison looks like? What's ToB and ToZX? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Rin... I'm still not sure how to permanently unlock Ishtar (Rider). Do I have to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same here. I just really like the Fate universe. Wanna add me anyways? My ID is 967,871,662. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiroe Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Ah, what a time to undergo maintenance... 1 hour ago, The History Kid said: 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. What servant would that even be? Lol.

Sasuke Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Very good anime, one of the first ones that I got in to. It would be one of those animes that I would definitely recommend to people to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Jeanne D'Arc is a ruler, I was referring to this part. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Almost done with the Fate route.... It's been over two weeks and this is the shortest route. Plus, school started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 @The History Kid Yeah. I got her to max ascension too, but NP5 was too much for me. Looking forward to getting that Merlin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stars apparently don't mean all that much in this game outside of the rarity. Flat 1% chance is tough. You're better off rerolling the account at the beginning to be honest.

Merlin, Waver, and Jeanne Alter are pretty insane to be fair. I'll have to stick with Arash and Andersen for now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) You know, there's a direct sequel to Fate/Zero starring Waver Velvet. I would make a thread about it, but I actually haven't started it yet. Hope I finish this darn novel soon. https://myanimelist.net/anime/38959/Lord_El-Melloi_II_Sei_no_Jikenbo__Rail_Zeppelin_Grace_Note Also, I'm liking your Oda profile picture, @The History Kid Edited August 21, 2019 by Musuko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'll be watching Heaven's Feel II today. I've heard great things about it so I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Watched the first episode of Fate Zero last night. I’d started Fate/Stay Night many years ago but never finished, so thought it was best to start from the beginning. Makes the impression of being a quality series right off the bat. UFO Table’s work is great (as people currently watching Kimetsu no Yaiba can attest). And it does a good job of introducing the main characters and explaining the overall plot. Waver certainly didn’t waste anytime putting himself in the thick of things. I could see some people being put off by what was done to Sakura, but it brings home how high the stakes are and what people are willing do to for that kind of power. Already looking forward to watching the rest of this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Good to see you're joining us on the Fate train Ohiotaku! Have you seen Demon King Nobunaga's NP @The History Kid? Looks pretty cool. Spoiler Also, I rolled a Nero today. Pretty neat. Edited August 31, 2019 by Musuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Haha yeah, I'm just glad I don't have to run Caesar. I'm still gunning for Altera though. I've only ran the Nobu node once, but I was surprised to see her there. I don't think it's that efficient from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge heartless Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I feel like they could have added a lot more to Fate/Apocrypha. Some parts feel really un-answered. And a lot of stuff isn't explained, im guessing that's why it never came to America, besides most people in the west don't read light novels also. Though Mordred was my fav character in the show, it still just isn't has good as fate/zero or fate/stay night Edited September 10, 2019 by Serge heartless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge heartless Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Id say the biggest problem with fate series is getting any of their dvds. Fate/Zero cost a lot and is hard to find. Not to mention how hard it is to get fate/stay night unlimited blade works TV dvds cost a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroe Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 The 7 Million Downloads campaign has started. That means a free 4* servant. Hope your problem gets fixed soon, @The History Kid. On 9/9/2019 at 11:35 PM, Serge heartless said: Id say the biggest problem with fate series is getting any of their dvds.

Both Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) are on crunchyroll, so it shouldn't be a huge to deal to watch them legally. (Unlimited Blade Works is just listed as Fate/stay night, though.) I'd agree that the biggest problem with the Fate series is the entry point, though.
