Fate/Grand Order

If you really want to be pedantic, the Huns were half Proto-Mongols, from the portion of the northern Xiongnu that were expelled by the Han, with the other half being the many steppe peoples they encountered through their three centuries of journey to the west.

Edit:

I was wondering when I was going to make another top page.

I think raziel making a top comment with no context can officially be considered a Running Gag.

And frankly, Attila=Alien=Racism is something I don't see the connection. If I would call any character in FGO as racially insensitive, it would be Karna, who's supposed to come from mythical India and yet is lily white.

Yeah, but Gil comes from FSN, so I consider it the fault of that game, not this one.

Same as Gil, really.

There’s an old fan image of Gilgamesh and Arthur including the Ikkitousen girls where Gilgamesh is depicted as he is in Sumerian art, glaring at Fate Gil who’s nervously downing his beer.

Him being blonde and red snake eyes I’m almost certain is a callback to True Ancestors.

Karna's designed to contrast Arjuna in every way. And Albino's exist no matter the skin color. Just as it does for animals.

Isn't Karna white because of his dad being a sun deity and fusing sunlight with his skin?

His Invulnerable armor skin is the clothing part of his body.

If we want to point fingers, it would be better to do so at the author of Fate Apocrypha.

It would more accurate to say that Arjuna's design was made to further cast him as a foil of Karna, salvaging the latter's design from Unfortunate Implications in my opinion.

Edit:

On second thought, maybe not so much, but at least it has an artistic reason.

Okay, I know I gushed quite a bit about Babylonia thus far, but this moment was just too great for me to remain quiet about it.

I'm speaking, of course, of Gramps Big Damn Heroes and the speech he gives:

Okay, DW, ya beat me, I'll roll for him...next september.

Because there is no conceivable manner I can save enough quartz from tomorrow until January.

New Years usually has a bunch of freebies if I'm not mistaken.

Thiiiis is what I get for posting on three hours of sleep. Sorry about that, everyone.

Also, I appreciate the Shakespearean touch on that speech. I would tweak a bit here and there, but that's solid work.

Yeah, but it's still unlikely.

Also saw some interesting fan waking about a possible link between the Abrahamic God and the end of the Age of Gods in the Nasuverse. To quote:

What are you apologizing for?

Also, you went to sleep over 1 AM, didn't ya?

Edited by HailMuffins on Dec 11th 2018 at 10:54:30 AM

I called Attila the Hun a Mongol.

And yup, I almost always do sleep that late.

I'm sure you don't need some random asshat saying that to you over the internet, but that is a pretty bad habit, you should try to fix your schedule to get at least six hours of sleep, with seven being the recommended amount.

x6 Welcome to the club!

Technically not fully correct as we learn it was Attila the Alien supeweapon who kickstarted the decline when she killed most of the Divine population and a human with a time travelled Excalibur slew her.

Edited by OmegaRadiance on Dec 11th 2018 at 6:00:15 AM

Shiet, I sometimes don't go to sleep til 4 AM.

Well, three hours is an exaggeration. Generally I get 6 or 7 because I wake up for work at 8:30.

Anyway, yeah, that speech is good. One of the coolest moments in a Singularity final that is basically nothing but cool moments. I'm predicting now that that will be the end of an episode in the anime - depending on how many episodes they make it.

Wait, it's gonna be a full series? Because if so, it relieves me of one of my biggest concerns about it, namely the length.

I mean, being honest, Fuyuki had too little story for it's length, and even its adaptation struggled a bit under the 1:30 hours runtime.

Babylonia is probably my favorite story section so far, barring a few nitpicks I have. Very happy that they had those more lighthearted moments at the beginning. Overwhelming darkness kinda loses meaning when there is nothing to contrast it with.

It will be an anime series, yes. Anichart doesn't have any info on the length yet, but I would expect 12 or 14 episodes unless they intend to get everything.

Honestly should be enough.

Granted it’s by a studio I’m not very confident in but alright.

I don’t know if or when I’ll get back into this game, because the talk about LB 3 and Babylonia makes me miss it

Ideally it would be 24 episodes with a decent amount of Adaptation Expansion on the Uruk slice of life.

Doesn't LB 2 mention that the Greek Ao G ended at around the 2nd Century AD?

They have to, that's part of why Babylonia is the best Singularity to adapt, without those early moments, much of the impact later on is lost.

We can also expect a brief flashback to Camelot's end, when the Lion King tells us where the last grail is.
