Shame. Should've let it die already

Waiting for five stars Sampo

One thing I like about Fate is that even though Archer and Shirou are the "same" person, they never ever feel like the exact same person. It's a weird feeling that hasn't been replicated on these other stuff before.

Nice, very impressive. Now all your franchise needs to do is figure out how to write a good visual novel.

>>715373194

Saber is underpowered right on release, great job Mihomo.

>reddit;gate

>>715373526
allegedly according to leakers the next planet is gonna have alt versions of a bunch of characters and people think sampo will get one since sparkle is somewhat confirmed to get one

>Hoyoverse had the opportunity to get Jennifer English to voice Saber and they didn't do it

I needed Sunday anyways so I think my pulls will better be spent there

I thought the collab was shit?

>>715372009 (OP)
When are they releasing Lancer? They made a whole new design for him already.

>>715373526
I mean tingyun got a 5 star version so why not, herta too in a sense

>>715374198
it's mid af, i'm assuming OP is referencing to Archer being OP as fuck for a free unit

>>715373526
Leaked already plus Black Swan ending teased it, it's implied Sampo could be even Aha himself

>715373194

They messed up Redman's outfit, he looks kind of gay now.

He saved Mahjong Soul

>>715375040
No you are just gay

Sparkle's husbando

>>715375040
>now

>>715375040
that's on Nasu, the typemoon team were in charge of the character designs for Saber and Redman and making sure whatever mihoyo wrote for the collab was in-character for them

>>715372009 (OP)
I've fallen for it, I rolled for Saber and didn't have enough. Now I will play for her and hope the banner doesn't shut down

can he save blue archive

>>715373158
Because unless you are on one particular route, he is not Shirou, he is Shirou from an alternate timeline. And the whole aging and maturing thing too. They diverge, but they also share enough similarities that you can see how you get one from the other.

>>715375457
you have like 3 to 4 months are the very least

>>715373158
Chaos Head did that too, funnily enough the author coped by saying the female character saw the archer of that game as a father even though she x your old self story as a romance made a lot more sense kek

>>715374270
Lancer ga shinda.
>>715375040
It's not the outfit, it's his jawline.

>>715372009 (OP)
why the hair though

>>715374270
Maybe part 2 if this part sells well
They probably can't gent Gilgamesh which is why they made Mydei

>>715373194
Steins;Gate is still the most overrated thing I've ever read.

>>715375790
He should be bald?

>>715375904
So you haven't read Muv Luv or Umineko then?

>>715375714
Takumi and !Takumi aren't really the same at all.
>>715375543
I mean kinda but not really. I can't see OUR POV Shirou become into Archer. I can see A Shirou turning into Archer though. some difference.

>>715376030
the retarded spike up bart simpson style

>>715372009 (OP)
Is that fucking Emiya?

why he is so fucking cool.
or is it my tinted nostalgia glasses making him still chuuni cool

>>715376062
That's exactly what I meant. Archer is A Shirou from a particular timeline, and you can reach that timeline and turn Shirou into Archer, but most of the time you don't do that and get same-but-different Shirou and Archer.

>>715376561
i just wish archer had a romance with either saber or rin again. the japs would fucking rage though even though that's kinda dumb. i mean has time travel self ntr been even done before? actually fuck it why don't they do it, archer already has the dark skin and it makes significantly more sense than haruhisky affixiation with saber x shinji

>>715372009 (OP)
Word on the street is that the collab quest was actual garbage, but at least it works as a FGO reference in that case

>>715376345
There is nothing cool about a faker.

>>715376727
>i mean has time travel self ntr been even done befor
There was some Bruce Willis movie about that

>>715376760
It was. I came back for it and it was a 3hour slog quest, with recycled locations, bosses and that annoying dude in previous events. total nothing burger waste of time. At least gameplay wise the characters are cool.

>>715373327
That S;G collab with PNC was higher quality than whatever they did with Saber and Archer here. And they hyped up this collab for a whole year.

>>715372009 (OP)
UBW was my favourite route.

Is HSR worth getting into just for the fate collab?

>>715376727
The modern audience is way too sensitive for actual storylines, in the past people could write telenovela stories where character a likes b but character b is with c and also character d likes character a
Hell, Goku doesn't fuck Bulma, Bulma fucks Vegeta and Goku not only marries but he is also a fucking grandpa
These things wouldn't fly these days

>>715377289
At least download it to get the free Archer to have it there in case you want to join

>>715377265
Well too bad PNC is dead now lol
At least HSR is actually alive

>>715372009 (OP)
He's pretty fun to use. I just wish my Hunt Lightcones (actually my Lightcones in general) weren't fucking ass. Herta Lightcone's OK I guess.

>>715377265
HI3's NGE collab was also amazing

>>715376727
>has time travel self ntr been even done before?
Futurama did it

>>715377289
fuck no

Thoughts on the real protagonist?

>>715377289
The writing is fucking slop

This is the most fun a playable Archer has ever been though, besides the people who want to pretend they played U/C at a high level

>>715377579
HI3 is mihoyos baby

>>715376879
no not really i know what you're talking about but no they don't share the same love interest

>>715377621
Karna?

Is Amphoreus over? Did people likeked it?

Is Archer even worth building without Sparkle?

>>715377289
that's what I did and I got cucked out of getting Saber
the first planet ended in KINO tho

>>715375904
I wish they would stop trying to shill their slop everywhere, I actually started reading S;G last year and it and the chuuni retard MC was very lame, I would rather read Fate route all over again.

>>715379750
Finally someone else who didn't like S;G, I got really fed up with it by the end and how 90% of it was in Okabe's lab

>>715372009 (OP)
When do him and Saber get summer bikini outfits?

>>715378584
>Is Amphoreus over?
not yet, we are in patch 3.4 and the story should end in 3.7

>>715379880
Yeah even the more "exciting" parts of the story felt kind of plodding, and that's not a good feeling to have in your storyline.

>>715378584
no. it's literally only at the halfway point. and no point don't care about it, to the point where they've even had to add a Skip button due to popular demand.

It's annoying he could super fun in DU if not half the enemies were quantum immune

>>715377289
Lmao no and I say that as a fan of the recent story. It was quick, barely fanservicey.

Skott should have mana transfered Saber while she says "China number one"

>>715377621
Was sad for him and had an actual gasp when it was time to face hyacine. Too bad they ended the chapter with some date with the pink chick because Chinks easily feel mogged by fictional males

>>715380346
Probably around 70 days it's when the current DU ends

>>715380765
I'm plaing the Steam version of FSN right now and the Realta Nua version of the Mana Transfer just doesn't work for me, at least in the Fate route. They're acting all awkward with each other afterwards still like they had sex but they haven't in this version

>>715377621
The most bland white bread mother fucker that they have ever tried to get over

>>715380948
That's not aventurine

They should have added kiritsugu

>>715381714
It looks fun but I'm here for Fate, not for horses.

>>715377289
Honestly not really, the Fate collab is like three to five hours of content total outside of the characters and while I thought the story handled its characters well and reflected the collab characters and Fate rules off the existing Star Rail lore in a cool way, the collab itself felt oddly cheap (half of it unvoiced, though they at least give a neat in-lore reason why, and the final boss being just one of the existing bosses reused is extremely lame).

The writing was about on par with what you'd expect of the early/middle parts of FGO Arc 1.

If you particularly like Fate, and are already playing or interested in Star Rail anyway, I think it's cool, but unless you just really want to play as Saber and Archer, it's not the most compelling reason.

I will say they handled the Grail War rules in a fun way that felt faithful to Fate's style of writing and made you wonder things in the same way Fate likes to. I absolutely fucking LOVED the Rider reveal especially as it was such a wonderful moment that only works with the context of the Fate collab, but is only meaningful in Star Rails context. Really great moment.

Wait, so the collab really doesn't have English dub?

>>715376345
Nah Archer is genuinely cool. Much cooler than this twit constantly rambling about how he owns everything right before getting owned: >>715376820

>>715377289

>>715372009 (OP)
Ah, so you admit star rail is a propped-up corpse.

I skipped every cutscene in the patch, including the Fateshit

Guess I'll start the Gilgamesh route in CCC then

>>715385114
You missed nothing the story in this game is ten pages long and stretched out to 1000 pages

I thought this collab would have got people to buy the VN from Steam or something but now it feels like it's ensured less people will if anything

>>715385731
Everyone who cares about Fate has already seen it. At least the anime at the minimum.

>>715385731
>I thought this collab would have got people to buy the VN from Steam
The VN is irrelevant monetary wise

>>715385447
Imagine getting filtered by a basic bitch anime plot.

>>715377289
P5X is a better game almost every aspect

>>715385731
I heavily doubt most FGO players read Stay/Night, so the chance of HSR players getting into it due to the collab is very low.

>>715377621
The cuck king

Fate characters are mute on EN but everyone else except some union niggers are voiced

>>715375040
You mean GAR

>>715386801
Ironically, GO has gotten way more people into the VN than Zero ever did, which for some reason seemed to just churn out a bunch of chuuni secondaries who preemptively decided the entry they started with was the only good part of the franchise.

>>715384353
Yeah me
Loved having a small cast and just having lots of alts of them
Having actual character growth instead of just endless slop that gets forgotten after few patches is really good

>>715372009 (OP)
I got filtered around Ruan Mei's release.

I was avoiding new content because I didn't want to watch the cringe cutscenes. As soon as I realised that's what I was doing I figured I should stop playing, since as well-designed the game is mechanically, there's no point if it's in service of something I don't respect or enjoy.

He's too dead inside to give a shit about romance after all the mass murders as a counter guardian and being betrayed by Rin which led to his execution.

>>715373194
Fate Stay Night is far better than Steins;Gate thoughever

>>715373158
There are moments when Archer becomes more like Shirou, when he lets his "true" self leak out, but these moments are generally uncommon. In Japan, Archer uses "watashi" and Shirou uses "ore". Archer will sometimes use "ore".

A lot of Archer's character is sort of a mask he's built up. Muramasa, despite being a fusion of Muramasa and Shirou, is described by Nasu as what Shirou might become if he managed to live to a ripe old age. So hypothetically, I feel like if Archer had lived to see 80, he'd drop all airs and just act like an older, grumpier and wiser Shirou. Like he's past the point where he needs to act like a cynical, sarcastic edgelord.

It's too bad Lancer's not playable. But what would his path even be? Archer took Hunt and Saber took Destruction, the two most fitting paths for his fighting style. Would he have to be another Hunt?

>>715389261
>In Japan, Archer uses "watashi" and Shirou uses "ore". Archer will sometimes use "ore".
Not japanese but I can never understand this, to decide 'I will refer to myself with the manlier pronoun now' feels like a conscious decision when I don't even think about saying 'I' at all I just say it

>>715381714
if UM gets Fate collab, i will download it

>>715389369
He should've been Hunt and Archer should obviously be Erudition or something

>>715389465
What, Rider as the Uma stand in? I'm down

>>715373158
I mean in later games Archer has he have been saved by Shirou in UBW would be way less critic of ideals and such atleast if he judge that the person is still not a complete dreamer

>>715384781
If you use the eng dub, you won't have the voices of Archer, Saber and Lancer. Also some voices are muted because it seems VA drama is still ongoing.

>>715389438
"Watashi" is a more dignified and mature way of referring to yourself. It's basically Archer trying to act more mature than he really is. So sometimes, he'll accidentally lapse into a more immature style of speech.

>>715389438
You can't understand this because you are not Japanese. Their culture is very socially conscious. A child referring to itself as an adult would be seen as endearing or mischievous. An adult referring to himself as a child would be seen as if that adult were to be brain damaged. In some cases, it could be endearing if it's a giddy lady doing so. The way you refer to yourself anb carry yourself clearly indicates what social stratum you occupy and if what you are in reality does not match up with what you present yourself as, the dissonance alone is enough to discredit you in the eyes of the most. It's why retarded identity politics movements could never take root within the Japanese. They see a man call himself a woman and to them it's a joke to laugh at and an idiot to beat down until he remembers his place.

Gacha is for subhumans
>B-but Grand Order!
Did I stutter?

>>715389676
Grand Order is indefensible gigaslop but I like Star Rail well enough, at least it pretends to be a real videogame sometimes with its presentation.

>>715389543
They probably wanted him to be able to spam Caladbolg so Hunt was the only option since they didn't want him to hit the entire enemy party with it.

I want an action RPG or stylish action game like DMC featuring Archer.
Could be a mission based DMC-like game where Archer is summoned to different scenarios to do Counter Guardian stuff.
Unlock more weapons as you proceed, swap them on the fly, UBW could be a devil trigger like ability.

Archer is literally the most fun dps in the game next to zoom zoom Aglaea if you ask me, not to mention unique

I've heard archers use bows and arrows.

>Kinda wanna get Sunday since he supports so many characters

>>715390128
who told you that lie?

>>715390128
He does, in those rare instances when his enemy doesn't just instantly close the gap to force melee on him.

They're called "Archers" because it sounds better than "Projectiler".

>>715390440
Should have been called Rogue, but then you have a harder time calling them one of the three "knight" classes.

>>715390128
>>715390316
One of the coolest Fate scenes is Archer's cross city snipe nuke on Berserker

It should have been these 2 if they really wanted to save their least interesting gacha

>>715390519
The exact moment I knew the Ufotable adaptation would be amazing.

>>715390494
Nah, not all of them fit that mold either. Look at this example: >>715390316
On what fucking planet would you call David, Arash or Nobbu rogues? The majority of the most prominent Archers don't engage in that sort of combat. Arjuna, Chiron, Arash, Ishtar, Gilgamesh, Atalante, Orion, Tristan and Touta are all either front line fighters or mobile nuclear deployment platforms.

>>715390792
Just a gas leak

I hate FGO like you wouldn't believe bros.
I'm happy at least the collab was F/SN focused

>>715391007
Don't worry. Next collab will feature the Servant Universe.

>>715391062

>>715373158
>You know what? I talk too much.

>>715390792
I have some gripes with UBW
It doesn't know if it's a f/0 adaption, if it's a VN adaptation or if it's its own thing. It ends up a little tame because of that.

>>715391754
if its a f/0 sequel*

As a Holy Grail War, it was the most disappointing one yet.

>Half the story devoted to that stupid silent movie nonsense
>Rider doesn't participate in the War at all
>Berserker is just the bug boss
>Boothill does nothing of value

>>715391754
It's keeping some tonal things consistent with F/Z which is totally fine but the director was a huge fan of the UBW route and kept encouraging Nasu the whole time.
The Archer vs Shirou episodes were my favorite of anything anime.

At least Robin got to swear.

Like they had a year to prepare and this is what they came up with. Penacony was a bad fit. They should have waited for Amphoreus' story to end and have the Grail War take place there instead. It would have made for a much more interesting story.

who do i pull for if im new

>>715393953
For meta? Probably Sunday. He's the most practical character, good for pretty much any team.

>The writing was about on par with what you'd expect of the early/middle parts of FGO Arc 1.
It was rushed but no need to be that insulting, at least the way it used Type-Moon's worldbuilding concepts on HSR's universe was pretty cool and it drew some nice thematic parallels.
Most of GO part 1 (and everything outside of the main story) is just actual nonsense without an inkling of thought put into it, characters parading around the screen while repeating their 1 or 2 personality traits.

>>715396970
