Fate/Grand Order

Eh, if we're counting chapter releases.

That's a pet peeve of mine: something's only released when it's completely released.

Kind of like how only two-fifths of the Tsukihime Remake is out, but for some reason people keep referring to the Remake as "released".

I would count LB 5 as two separate chapters for considering plot/difficulty because they had different writers, casts, maps, and menu listings.

LB 6, by contrast, is just one enormous chapter in three parts.

@knowmenot: JP player here and Hades Klironimia just isn’t a thing at all.

So thinking about it a bit, was all of the "There is impostor amogus" foreshadowing from Chaldean and Mysterious Archer T actually just about Corday since she was a Manchurian Agent for Odysseus?

... Yeah, probably not.

As if Chaldean would bother remembering Corday. She doesn’t even take down a Chaos level threat.

Charlotte was out of the sub and he specifically mentioned that someone inside was not trustworthy, and it being Charlotte wouldn't make sense when he went of his way to kill our comms

Isn’t making the person who’s beneath suspicion the better narrative decision though?

Holmes, Holmes, Holmes and Holmes...

...with his world-ending levels of deduction and his obsessive compulsion to annihilate any mystery he can get his hands on.

If he ever manage to escape the Ruler-Class that the World forcefully shackled him with, he will be a threat to be removed ASAP.

So since I sort of forgot to mention this before: Do Kirei and Muramasa (Shirou) sort of recall what happened between the two in FSN or...?

Probably just the basic rivalry between those two, recorded in the Throne of Heroes from their vessels (one getting dunked in a Greater Grail at the blessings of a certain Avenger and the other practically grafted into the Throne thanks to Archer and the counterforce...)

Fanservice

x5 not necessarily? If you may crumbs for a character being shady, actually cashing in on them isn't a bad idea. Tricking your audience can be a smart narrative tool but it's not automatically a good one and there are lots examples of shows where the writers try to outsmart the audience and absolutely fail at it.

That being said, while Holmes being shady is obvious because they've been overselling it with no resolution for literal years, he actually hasn't really done anything to warrant suspicion from Chaldea. He's put himself in danger for our sake and generally stayed by our side helping for years. Him being the traitor would be an enjoyable twist if they had cashed in on it way earlier.

it'll turn out Holmes ate Romani's sweet stash that he left in the freezer, the most unforgivable of crimes

Well damn, guess I have to kill him 😔🔪

Clearly the real traitor is Holme—I mean Red Herring

Kirei and Muramasa do have vague memories of it, yeah. They both mention at some point that the people whose bodies they're inhabiting absolutely hate each other and have likely run into one another before in PHH.

I believe Muramasa when he says he has vague memories. I absolutely do not believe Kirie.

AAARGGH!

The RETURN of the timed-turns is upon me again!

Update: ENOUGH! AOE-BUSTER BOMBS with Kaleidoscopes it is!

Update 2: This war with Odysseus is seriously stressing me out! (Well done there, game.)

Yeah, those timing things are annoying me here, too. My strategy is to just bring Gilgamesh and have Enuma Elish get thrown out as fast as possible.

At this point, I am both stressed, furious, and unleashing whatever I have in B-AOE way on everything standing in front of me while running on pure rage as fuel.

With Merlin as shield for star-gather turns so I can hit everything in the next turn with 100%-Crit-Chain for certain.

Odysseus shall have props for infuriating me to this extent.

That is not easy.

Update 3: Annnd... out of AP while on Poseidon's back.

I got to say, this is an emotional roller-coaster.

And I honestly had forgotten Poseidon even still existed in this Lostbelt.

My emotions are running wild.

I need to cool down for a dozen of hours or so...

Yeah, for all they hyped up Poseidon as being one of the "three great threats" needing to be overcome, he feels like an afterthought.

Hell, the heroes didn't even have a plan when they went up against him, unlike the meticulous plans they had to make against Odysseus and Artemis, so it feels like the heroes (and writers) also forgot Poseidon existed.

Though I did find it kind of amusing that the malfunctioning Poseidon just automatically assumes that any attacker must be Francis Drake and goes nuts trying to kill her.

Edited by DarkHunter on Dec 5th 2021 at 11:47:46 AM

Well he is way less dangerous than he would normally be because of Drake.

I sort of recall that one of the obstacles on their own wouldn't be that much of a problem if they were just there. But when they are in place at the same time, it is nearly impossible to get to Olympus. Like Scylla and Charybdis, but you also add Harpies as a third nuisance. So when Odysseus' army and Artemis are out of the picture and you know where to travel, confronting a brain-damaged Poseidon isn't that much of a big deal.

Also it is Poseidon, he is made to job.

The legendary God of the Sea....only exists to make other people look better.

Ooof
