I will admit, Kirsch's plan is slightly better than Amakusa's "make everyone immortal, ???, profit", but not by much
Bewitching EyesAlso the big problem of Lost Britain was making fairies trying to live a human society. Might as well force a bird to live underwater. Sure, you'll get the occasional penguin but otherwise it's a messy and tragic scenario.
This is also the crux of Beryl's character. He's the child of a fairy and a human, and so inherits the worst traits of both. He's a contradiction.
Bewitching EyesOn the Wodime stuff since I was bit late on it, the last few Lostbelts seems to really drive on the idea that Humans Are Flawed. As in human history has been nothing but bad decisions from the start. Even the so-called "good decisions" might not been the best decisions in hindsight. The thing is that the game also argues that humans have been better that way than reaching a better conclusion.
A driving point across almost all of the Lostbelts is that the "dead ends" were never caused by humans. There was always some other factor that lead to the world's downfall. The only one where you can blame on "humans" themselves is the Chinese Lostbelt, but the point is that Qin Shi Huang had elevated themselves above everyone else to reach absolute leadership (note Gilgamesh's line for Qin Shi Huang). Note I am ignoring Russian Lostbelt because that is more like "bad end made worse". Nahui Mictlan specifically gives us a look at the "perfect civilization" that Wodime wanted to create, only to point out how apathetic it can really become. Especially when the "humans" of the Lostbelts are a jaguar-monkey cartel.
...Where was I going with this again? Dunno, I just wanted to talk.
Only sometimes postsThe First Order & Moonlight/Lostroom OST compilation was also released today and because whoever oversees this channel actually gives a shit about streaming day 1, here are the bonus tracks.
An acoustic arrangement of Mashu's theme from First Order.
A previously unreleased piece from Moonlight/Lostroom.
The lostbelts are all designed to be destroyed according to the narrative, so there's not much else to do except nuke Fairy Britain. At some point I'm not surprised fans won't find it within themselves to care about whatever nuance the story wants to have about genocide being wrong when genocide is the only way the heroes can win regardless.
Like, all of FGO has been Chaldea killing one False Utopia over another. Not a single one of them has been allowed to be anything but a False Utopia that needs to die for the "real" timeline. What else are people supposed to do when the game has trained them to dislike these Lostbelts in such as way? If Nasu didn't want this "Genocide fairies" attitude to show up at all then he should have changed course and written the story to allow Fairy Britain and Chaldea to become allies and save the populace of Fairy Britain.
We
Nearly got to save at least one. And I haven't a clue why Nasu went for it in such a weird "Nope!" way given he then wrote Nahui Mictlan anyway AND kicked off another filler arc so
???
Why did we get alternate Habenyan again? Even the idea of just, like, sparing people from needing to write a specific LB inhabitant because of concurrency doesn't make sense.

PFALZ's very detailed notes on LB7 ORT translated
"It wouldn't make for an interesting game if there were no damage at all, so how about having Servants buy time by cutting down the tentacles that endlessly emerge from the lower part?" The version in game is a result of the above proposal
Can't believe PFALZ saved us from the ORT raid being even more of a slog on week 1
I mean, we only did much to destroy one. There were three dystopias, Douman is responsible for Altjuna, and LB 6 we basically just served to contain at the end before it brought the rest of the world down with it.
While I can't say I liked the Faeries as a whole, I don't share the "kill it with a flamethrower" attitude the fandom has of Faerie Britain in general.
Ok, maybe just for the Manchester faeries but Barghest already took care of them.
Rather than taking glee in seeing Faerie Britain go, I only felt sad that this entire tragedy got started in the first place because there's so many people, fae and human, who end up being screwed over by design.
Anyway, the right action is to give Morgan a hug, poor woman was so love-starved that she went off the deep end, and the rest of the summonable cast too.
Yes, even Oberon. What can I say? He might be a douchebag but he is actually sympathetic unlike Douman.
Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.On @LB 7: One of the reason the Deinos are held back is precisely because the source of their evolution in the Malla regret their actions in trying to save them and allowing them to survive OR Ts arrival. Even though they and Kukulkan love the Deinos they wanted to die with them rather than give the Deinos a future.
Their goal was to die with their precious Deinos when their time comes, and as others note the Deinos when given perspectives of others who haven’t had the same experiences as them under the control of Malla showed themselves capable of becoming the greatest threat as Koyan realized. Even if it was too late to change their outcome against ORT.
As for the Lostbelts; the fact they were created for the express purpose of being culled not only validates Oberon beliefs about Proper Human History, especially as it’s implied that the endgoal of CHALDEAS is to make humanity into a cosmic cancer with everything that’s been hinted.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.I was just horrified when Fae Britain burned.
Nobody deserved that kind of death brought upon them, nobody.
And the realization that all of it was a due to a combination of people who refused to do their jobs as intended and people who DID do their jobs as intended all the way through, chained together across time.
Nothing but pure tragedy through and through.
"If there's problems, there's simple solutions."

Yeah silly old Kirsch thinking the Apostles wouldn't fuck with him when they fucked with everyone else.
