Type-Moon: Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, and Kara no Kyoukai discussion

Given what she's capable of, I'd say that's better than you could possibly hope for.

Caster is a pragmatic and evil being who is still better than the devil you know.

Not killing people she drained was an act of pragmatism, not kindness. She also poisoned the men at the same time, remember?

Boy, Jason really did a number on her.

Well, there's Jason, but there's also the gods brainwashing her into loving some random dickhead.

Whenever I think of Jason from now on, I'll think of the version of him from Hercules The Legendary Journeys.

Because he wasn't as pathetic as the actual mythological Jason was, and that's how I like my heroes.

So Kiyohime was not descended from Dragons yet since she was so crazy she got to be a Dragon on her ascension as a Servant due to her legend.

Literally so crazy she became the best Phantasmal Beast, EX Mad Enhancement and NP yo.

She can only turn into a dragon for one turn, though.

Were you ever so mad that you turned into a dragon?

There are some who would say so. But I assume they're speaking metaphorically.

I am not sure about Kiyohime but I do know Medea is crazy and considering what happened to her, it is not a surprise.

No, but Kiyohime is super yandere. Her personal skill is called Stalking, and she'll try and kill her Master if she even thinks they're lying to her.

Is that so? Wow.

Her legend is basically her raging because a guy stood her up.

Depending on the version of her tale, it was just some random guy she thought was hot. She barely knew him.

Well, either way, I can see how her and Tamamo are friends, what with the whole crazy for Master thing.

Though Tamamo is clearly saner.

Yeah, I know.

All the Servants fall for you! (only partly joking)

Protag powers are strong here.

Relatedly: Bathory seems to be coming from post CCC in GO. She states that having a pig for a master isn't so bad and is more or less creeped out by her older self.

So I can assume the Moon Cell is responsible for what's happening. Well besides possibly King Solomon and his Goetia.

Would the Moon Cell explain why there's a guy from Prototype? (That's not rhetorical, I haven't played Extra or CCC so I don't know much about it.)

I was wondering where the servants were being summoned from in Grand Order.

Does that mean that the historical figures really were that crazy awesome in real life in the nasuverse? The mooncell isn't known for tapping into legends to pump servants up after all.

There's some kind of explanation for what's going on but they haven't really gotten to it yet. So, you know, keep spending money on it and one day you too may learn why gods can be summoned.

Well, either the writers for the game are blatantly ignoring the rules since immortals cannot be summoned as Servants since they're not Heroic Spirits (since they're not dead) or whatever's summoning the Servants isn't using the Throne of Heroes (like the Moon Cell).

I'm hoping it's the latter but I won't terribly care if it's the former since I'm only using the game for character details anyway.

The next new F/GO stage is Okeanos, the story focuses on Iskandar. I think that would be smart choice for the servant. Especially we have 6 pirates (Francis, Teach, Mary, Anne, Monte and Eric) in the game.

So I noticed that Assassins have an advantage over Riders in Grand Order.

Why? The few canon (?) scenarios I can think of show Riders pwning Assassins every time. How random.

Bad design for Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissor.
