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

@Arha: And everyone is a Dinosaur. Because yes.

Turns out Lostbelt 7 is just one giant Chrono Trigger reference.

Never actually played that game

One ending can have you altered history so thoroughly the dinosaurs didn't go extinct and the main character is now a dino just like all his friends likewise are dinopeople.

Lostbelt 6 is apparently so deep it doesn't even fit the planet? What the hell is going on there.

Unlike the other Lostbelts, which are surrounded by a wall of storms, it's surrounded by a barrier of light so that makes it even more special than the others.

My current crack theory is that it derives from a timeline where Manaka succeeded in some manner to assist her husbando and oopsie-daisie she broke all of time in the process.

The other theory is that the Lostbelt isn't located on Human Earth, but on the Reverse Side, more specifically Avalon.

Oh man, a Lostbelt where the human world got replaced by Avalon would be bonkers! I totally want to see that.

Could also be a world where humanity migrated inside Avalon.

Humans went full Fae like in some myths?

My idea was more like there was a massive, worldwide disaster and what little remained of humanity is essentially a bunch of metaphysical refugees.

But what you said does make more sense, though.

IIRC Beryl mentions that humanity is nearly extinct in his Lostbelt

Well if all humans becoming fae they'd certainly would be!

yeah the Nasuverse's pretty big on how humanity's descendants are filthy non humans.

One cool theory I've read is that it's a world where Artoria and Morgan actually rule together and have brought down the barrier between the sides of the world.

Nasu wants to do an FGO crossover with FromSoft series

He also said any collabs with other franchises will have to wait until Cosmos is finished, so we're not seeing it until 2021 at the earliest.

That said, Berserker Artorias wen?

Well, at least half of the Servants from Yarnhiem will be Foriegners.

They just want to breed with humans afterall.

This is why Medb was kept around. She'll keep them busy while everyone else gets the fuck out of there.

Kiara complains because they not only dont want to breed with her, but her attacks that make everything horny don't work either.

Aren't From games relatively grounded? Wouldn't average servant easely shitstomp over anything Souls, Bloodborne or Sekiro games could throw at them?

"Grounded" is the last word I'd use, and no. Only indication saying otherwise is the PC being slow enough to fit the game's intended design, but lore and gameplay don't always mix.

The only Fromsoft game I've played is Bloodborne, and that has no shortage of eldritch horrors.

I said relatively. Of course they're still fantastic, but not as much as settings where magic is first and foremost excuse to give characters superpowers. Like most anime. Granted I don't know much about Darksouls lore, but idea about its protagonists being animesque supersonic superheroes goes against everything I know about premise of Souls games - severely underpowered and painfully relatable heroes struggling against impossible odds.

So? Those horrors get beaten up by a guy with scythe and flintlock guns. Unless you can convince me that Hunter moves at mach 4 and has striking force of literal car crash, I'll assume that those horrors are elite mook tier for servants at best.

This makes me think, isn't Nasuverse among more dangerous universes for Lovecraftian horrors to invade? There already are monsters not merely being immortal, but outright lacking concept of death in Nasuverse. And Alaya can deal with them by dispaching someone who can impart concept of death on said monsters. Eldritch horror can be as incomprehensibly alien as it wants, death is something we can comprehend and interact. Now I want to see Grandpa Hassan killing eldritch god.
