The biggest problem I have with the TypeMoon universe is that Nasu decided he'd make the FSN VN based on the Fifth HGW.
Word of God says the first two wars were jokes that ended really quickly and wouldn't be entertaining. I can accept that. I'd be happy with just mentions of that.
But where Nasu fucked up was deciding that the Fifth war would have multiple, all equally canon routes, utterly gimping the prospect of sequels beyond expansions of each route, adding more routes, or utter continuity clusterfucks like H/A.
By making the Fifth HGW the VN with multiple routes, he limited how the universe can be used. From that point, only the preceding wars can be given singular canon narratives, although constrained by what is said in the Fifth HGW about them (this is not a bad thing, in the case of Fate/Zero it worked really well. But only because Urobutcher is good at writing when you give him clear plot points to include and adhere to).
So if you like the universe, too fucking bad, the only decent work that can be produced in it without retcon is adaptations of the Fourth and Third HGW. Fate/Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN, because Nasu didn't fucking write it and it had a single narrative.
If FSN had been something like, the 15th war, with the first war happening much earlier, this wouldn't be as big a problem. But Nasu utterly lacks the ability to plan for the long term.
I wouldn't even be this upset if other works could at least adhere to the same universe. I like that Tsukihime takes place in the same universe, but again he gimped the future use of any characters by using multiple routes.
But then you've got shit like KnK, which is excellently written in comparison, but no, it has to occur in a parallel universe that follows the same rules.
The TypeMoon universe had excellent potential in terms of lore, depth, and complexity. Nasu and Takeuchi could've been modern day Tolkiens. But they fucked it all up.
>>115027496
They fucked it all up with their lack of consistency, continuity, and actual utilization of their universe.
It is truly the most depressing scenario in literature when you come across geniuses in terms of universe creation who can't actually fucking write or utilize their universe to its full extent.
Yes I'm mad.
Even if they do a story for the Third HGW (which I'm doubtful they will), I'm certain Nasu will fuck it up with his hubris. The universe has become his baby, he'll want to write the whole thing and it'll be a piece of shit.
The best works in the TypeMoon universe were written by people who didn't create said universe.
In conclusion;
Nasu and Takeuchi can go fuck themselves.
Shit like this compels me to become an independent publisher or editor, so I can stop things like this happening.

Nasu made an eroge, and it sold like hot shit and it just so happened to have a very compelling universe, so now he can do whatever the fuck he wants without having to go full eroge.

Oh, and I honestly consider the monogatari series to be the most well written and constructed piece of contemporary Japanese light novella.
In the realm of weeb-shit, at least.
Yes, I am this much of a faggot.
>>115027496
F/SN was their first commerial work, of course they didn't know it was going to become as big as it did.
FIVE Wars without a single winner are already absurd, if justifiable. If there had been fifteen, how would you justify the fact that none of them had had a winner up until that point?
Nasu has already said that he doesn't plan to write anything new for Fate after CCC. He has also expressed his hope that his universe will become something like "Japanese Marvel" where many writers collaborate on stories for it. Hence Strange Fake, Grand Order, Apocrypha, Zero etc.
No, I don't know why Tsukihime, KnK and Fate are in different universes either, but I assume there's a point.
Stop being buttfrustrated and read some of the side material. Your Type/New is showing.
>>115028183
It did nothing right.
The pool scene and Backside of Kibisis nearly gave me a fucking aneurysm.
The latter was hot though. But it was an angry fap.
>>115028182
It can, and that's often best sometimes. It depends how much the author initially plans to write. In this case, Nasu entirely lacked long-term planning.
>>115028218
Yes but it still hurt me
>>115028233
Yeah I agree but that's because Nisio doesn't have enough time to suck. His schedule is too full with the fuck ton of works he's doing.
I don't have faith he's going to be able to last much longer without rehashing himself
>>115028320

>>115028306
But you should never fucking throw in awful sex scenes and make it have multiple routes just to sell.
People shouldn't treat this shit like a business.
I wouldn't say there had been no winners to that point, rather, the Einzbern fucked it up a few wars ago with summoning Avenger. The wars preceding that though, in some cases you could have the grail materialise and resurrect someone etc. Reverse some time thing. Actual TM magic stuff, but not like, "make me a God".
Just have the whole concept go to shit at a later point. The third war only went bad because the container was destroyed. The Einzbern fucked the goose with Avenger after that.
I've read most of the side material though. More on the Fate side of things though.
I really do hope it becomes like that. Apocrypha is turning out really well. Except for Shiromine being a thing.

I don't know, you can notice the pattern of philosophy or common prevailing themes in his work, but I don't know about rehashing just yet. I finished Zokuo yesterday, and while I don't it was entirely necessary, it was OK. Should've cleanly tied everything up in a more satisfying way though. Not looking forward to Tsugi. He needs to stop while it's good.
>>115028432
Says the newfag. Either that or OP.
>>115028517
I don't think its rehashing yet but I think he's going to get there quickly if he keeps multi-tasking so hard.
I think at this point he's just making too much money or his editor has had a word with him. 19 novels is a bit much. Not to mention his short stories and shit for the newspaper.
Still, loved the shit out of Katanagatari and I think the Occult Club members from Monogatari are probably the 4 best characters in nearly anything ever

>>115028467
>But you should never fucking throw in awful sex scenes and make it have multiple routes just to sell.
It probably wasn't the only reason he did it. Nasu and Takuchi probably just loved eroge, and wanted to make eroge. Getting more sales for porn was just a bonus.
Also, last I heard, Nasu was planning on keeping the sex scenes in the Tsukihime remake even though they're not going to increase sales, and might even decrease them. Not really business behavior if you ask me.
>>115028691
Based Nasu.
The sex scenes in F/SN seemed way too thought out to be "thrown in for sales" like some people suggest.
If you want to talk half-assed, that's what the Realta Nua version of the H-scenes is.
>>115028561
Wasn't me, but I agree with him I guess.
>>115028627
Yeah, I can totally agree with you there. The quality of his work is amazing for the volume he produces though.
Mmmm, maybe. The main monogatari story is over though, and that was his biggest cash cow. I think he's got at least some artistic integrity. Like, Zokuo was really experimental and odd in parts.
"Parallel universe" novels are a bit of an annoyance for me, but it fit for monogatari because of the introspective nature of the series. Would've been better if it wrapped up the remaining questions about Tooe and the Rainy Devil though.
Katanagatari was excellent. It's interesting to see how it's received poorly by people unfamiliar with Nisio's stuff though. Like, complaints about odd art styles or the ending (the ending in particular).
His stuff would probably actually be pretty good for contemporary Japanese literature analysis classes. Like what you'd have to do in high school about prevailing themes in ______ book by whatever modern author your teacher liked at the time.
>>115028832
Just guessing Tooe got the Rainy Devil from Izuko as like a gift or something for Kanbaru? I just assumed either Kaiki or Izuko gave it to her.
Man, If you like Nisio's works then Katanagatari is literally as good as it gets. Its just 50 minutes of talking, puns and fighting.
Though it is regrettable that the heroes are portrayed in such a negative light in that series
>>115028688
Yeah I know, I'd love a fucking Sealing Designation side story. It could be done so well, with good/bad being entirely ambiguous and relative to the situation/crest.
Burial Agency/Dead Apostles probably wouldn't have as much potential there, but maybe. It'd be hard to swing that area of TM from the cartoon-villain area it's currently in.
>>115028691
Actually, I'm happy with that. The sex scenes are actually permissible in Tsukihime. They don't feel tacked on for sales.
Although I don't like the mana dolphins we're gonna get, I guess it's better than the awkward UBW sex scene.
I'll be able to die a happy man if they just do the dolphin mana transfer again, but have it fade to black midway. Scene returns to roadworks occurring nearby, fixing a "gas explosion". Camera pans to focus on jackhammers. Scene returns to exhausted Tohsaka or something.
Perfect.
>>115029005
>yfw there's a Sealing Designation Sidestory which follows Alba as he sets Kerry's island on fire

I don't even want to imagine the abortion that Realta Nua Tsukihime would be.

>>115027496
Really? The biggest problem I have with the typemoon universe is that I'm supposed to believe rhinos can use magic.
>>115029256
Mom, I posted it again
>>115028942
My Japanese isn't perfect, but it's at a level where I can read Nisio so it's by no means bad, but I still had trouble understanding the intricacies of this.
I've done Q/A threads on here for monogatari and this is one of the less common questions.
Basically, Tooe developed the Rainy Devil exactly like Araragi developedOugi Oshino. It was an existence brought about by her subconscious tendency to have huge expectancies of people and things. It began to remove things she desired, but did not meet her expectations or were imperfect. She realised she made it, and dealt with it before it "removed" those close to her.
What I'm unsure about is how and why she sealed it as a corpse, and why she handed the parts out to people.
I think it was to set everything up for Kanbaru's development, as she knew she wasn't going to be there to teach her and watch her grow.
She has better foresight than Izuko.
Nah, I liked that about Katanagatari. I enjoy right/wrong being ambiguous, along with truth in this case. It was such a punch in the dick when Hitei started following Shichika around, but I really drove home the theme of the story.
>>115029080
>The mages share a plane with the mercenaries on the way over
>Natalia aggressively flirting with everyone because half-succubus
I really enjoyed the Alba reference in Zero though, even if it's not at all canon.
For a while I thought that the puppet master from the Third HGW could've been Alba's father, but I think that master turned out to be French or something?
Any Touko would be good. I'd love to actually see Aoko's magic used in more creative ways as well.
>>115029302
Damn it. I should have stopped talking to you to avoid spoilers but I got dragged in. Damn it.
Also Everyone knows being a Gaen gives you mad foresight. Kanbaru is just the black sheep of the family...
Also it totally wasn't amiguous. Hitei and Emonzaemon were totally the heroes of the story. Hitei and Shichika is how the series should have been to make the Shikizaki/Kazune parallel.
Togame and Emonzaemon would have been a better fit. Togame would had no issues with getting the weapons and she'd have no issue killing him off
>>115029429
Anything with Touko or Aoko is pretty much god-tier in my opinion. I don't really think Aoko can be creative with her powers. Fifth possibly but Starmine and Starbow is just pure destruction. If you want cool shit you'd pick Touko since she's the kind of fighter who has to work for her victories
>>115029429
>Aoko's magic used in more creative ways
Isn't her whole deal that she only knows how to blow things up?
>>115029460
Yeah, that's honestly the best reveal in the whole story. It makes total sense when it's explained, so I won't spoil anymore about Araragi.
I went back and fucking read every novel again before Owari because of it.
Actually, I'm not sure Kanbaru is the black sheep in that regard. I've got a tonne of papers to mark at the moment, so I haven't been able to go back over the novels carefully, but I seem to remember points where Kanbaru would say something benign, but it'd catch Hanekawa off-guard and make her pause and go "....Hang on, there's no way Kanbaru could possibly know that".
Can't find it for the life of me.
I don't think there were any heroes. No one did anything heroic except Shichika, but he was just a sword.
No way, that's why it was perfect that it ended with them.
Yeah but the story was about deception and the denial of expectation. Those might've been more suitable pairings, but it wouldn't have been as good.
So I haven't read/watched/played any of this shit but surely he could just say "this route is the canon one" if he ever wished to make Holy Grail War 6: Electric Crusdaealoo? is there any spinoff or sequel work currently dependent on all the routes being equally canon?
>>115029632
See, I thought that about Kanbaru too but even she admits she's not that smart but Tsubasa Tiger's only Kanbaru cameo plus discussions with Araragi had me thinking otherwise.
Off the top of your head who do you think are the parallels to the 4 occult club members? There's a scene at the end of Bakemonogatari where Senjou, Hanekawa, Kanbaru and Araragi so I figured those 4 would be the closest and as such, the parallels
Also pff, damn that Nisio with his denial of my expectations
>>115029485
>>115029494
More creative in like, ways that her sheer fucking output or efficiency is a more contrived hindrance. It'd be challenging to do it in creative ways, which is why it'd be interesting to read.
Think Aoko being sent up against Berserker of Black or something. Scenarios like that, where the solution for Aoko isn't simply "more fucking magic".
>>115029744
That's literally all Aoko can do. Kick ass physically and fire spells while kicking ass. There's not really anything she can do except maybe drop a building on someone by smashing some pillars or punching someone in the teeth and then using her magic on them
>>115027496
>Fate/Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN
No
>>115029680
He'd incur the wrath of too many waifu-fags if he did that. Honestly I think Urobutcher could write a good conglomeration of the 3 routes. No single route explores each character in acceptable depth. This UBW adaptation is going to leave secondaries frodoing hard.
The sequel, Hollow/Ataraxia, actually assumes none of the routes are canon. Go figure.
>>115029710
She can be dumb but still have access to huge amounts of useless knowledge. She just isn't aware of it because she's an airhead, maybe?
As for the parallels, that's a tough one. I'll think about it for a few minutes.
>>115029900
Even if she was as dumb as a brick. She's got Kaiki on her side. She's set for life. She made Kaiki laugh, that's like near impossible
>>115027496
>Fate/Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN, because Nasu didn't fucking write it and it had a single narrative.
Pretty sure Nasu had a big part in the Fate/Zero LN, also Urobutcher fags go home.
>>115030034
Urobutcher had a way better idea how to design a worthy rival to Gil than Nasu
>>115030079
Again you're severely underestimating the role Nasu had in Fate/Zero. But hey Urobutcher fags aren't going to stop being faggots all of a sudden.
>>115029826
It's all she can do because it's all she knows. Her solutions would still have to be simple, but contrived.
Extreme efficiency has other simple applications in the universe.
Like, let's take a scenario where Aoko gets into a Holy Grail War. Her servant would have awful fucking parameters, as despite her efficiency, raw prana is still required as the anchor for the spirit. From that point on though, they'd have nigh limitless energy, because of the simple magical path.
Granted, she'd probably be more powerful than her servant.
You need weird scenarios like that where her other traits gimp her.
>>115027496
>Fate/Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN,
Both are mediocre. Watch more anime.
>>115030112
No realy.
Iskander was 100% Urobutcher.
Nasu's idea was a recoloured Gil.
>>115030119
Damn it asshole. Now I want to see a grail war with masters from other parts of the nasuverse.
>>115030034
He sort of has a point here if you consider that Urobutcher didn't actually make the story, he just filled in the details. Uro's stories are terrible, and he likes getting carried away with his own nonsense, but he's often pretty good at the smaller elements of story writing and is good at using characters.
Nasu on the other hand can come up with some interesting ideas but fuck up the delivery in horrible ways. Just look at the first H-scene in Fate, or all the cooking in HF.
F/Z worked well because they played off each other's strengths.
>>115030279
>or all the cooking in HF
opinion discarded
>>115030279
>or all the cooking in HF.
The amount seems really overplayed here. Sure, it's more than the other routes, but I never thought they were too much.
You are not looking at the big picture here. FSN was meant to be a one-shot that took place in the same year it was released. He didn't go out of his way to put emphasis on previous wars because they did not fit the narrative of what the typical otaku expects of a visual novel. Fate/Zero only exists at all because everything was perfectly aligned by that point to allow it, but they used a different medium to express it since it was the wrong fit for a VN. Same as the other previous wars, I would imagine.
>>115030124
F/SN isn't even out yet. Stop trying this hard.

>>115029961
Mere association to Kaiki probably isn't beneficial in the long term.
>>115029710
If I have to draw parallels:
Karen/Tsukihi is who I'd pick for Kagenui/Yotsugi. Unrepentant warriors against that which is wrong. They're even depicted in similar ways in the books/anime. How Karen/Kagenui beat the shit out of Araragi, how Tsukihi/Yotsugi thing with trying to makes phrases (Platinum mad/Posed expression). There's other little things like that as well.
As obvious as it is, Araragi is Oshino. Meme was training Araragi to take care of the town once he left, so he has some similar traits. In the end, they're both totally honest with themselves, but have readily apparent character flaws. Araragi is showing that he's slowly learning that in some cases, it's better for people to confront their own demons, which is what Meme was always getting at.
My other idea of who parallels Oshino would be a spoiler, so I won't go there.
Hanekawa corresponds to Izuko, but they're parallels. Hanekawa acknowledges that which she isn't aware of, and because of that, knows more than Izuko. That was Tooe's conclusion. They also have entirely opposing personalities.
Kaiki can be contrasted with Kanbaru in almost every capacity. Appearance, personality, motivations, etc.
Kaiki embraces his lack of pride. Kanbaru embraces her degeneracy. Both behaviors are reigned in when they're serious about helping someone though, but begin relapsing on reaching the solution. Both are incredibly jealous people.
There's certainly a lot of contrasting and comparable elements between characters, but definite parallels I'm not quite sure are a thing.
>>115027496
>But where Nasu fucked up was deciding that the Fifth war would have multiple, all equally canon routes, utterly gimping the prospect of sequels beyond expansions of each route, adding more routes, or utter continuity clusterfucks like H/A.
Heaven's Feel is more equally canon because it was observed by Zelretch.
>>115030952
Shouldn't there be infinite Zelretchs observing infnite universes?
Also by that logic Prisma would be the most canon
>>115030996
>Also by that logic Prisma would be the most canon
Prisma wasn't written by Nasu thus it wasn't Nasu's decision to include Zelretch in Prisma.
>>115030517
>>115030895
I was talking about F/SN VN
>>115030895
See, I dunno. I disagree. I think the parallels go like this
Yozuru/Araragi for the fact they're both a pair unit who's main way of dealing with oddities is just overwhelming force. Admittedly Araragi is personality-wise definitely more like Oshino but I figure that Yozuru is what Araragi would be if he was in it for the self-satisfaction.
Senjougahara and Kaiki. They're both sharp-witted people who love Kanbaru, They both tell half-truths and keep information from people when it benefits them. They also have a pretty mutual understanding of each-other and Gaen/Hanekawa had a way to keep them in check which was eventually invalidated.
Gaen/Hanekawa. Literally no possible other parallel.
Kanbaru is where I'd put my Oshino. Kanbaru has too much pride to be a Kaiki, she's proud to be a Lesbian, A lolicon, a basketball player. She's also got too much of a nice personality with a hidden dark side to be Kaiki. That fits more in line with Oshino who is cheerful and trolling on the outside and has a hidden darkness on the inside.
Also given Kanbaru has been through Hanamonogatari, she's now actually capable of handling oddity-related business in a Oshino-like manner, which Araragi can't do since he's a vampire and seals and shit would hurt him.
Also if your spoilered choice for Oshino, Sodachi per chance?
>>115030207
Wouldn't it be great?
An adaptation of the Third war could be written like that, as we're only certain of a few masters so far:
-A French(?) magi who used puppets featuring conventional weapons of the time, such as Tommy guns, disguising midget Assassin as one of his puppets
-The Edefelt sisters both summoning the same Saber servant, but with different alignments
-An Einzbern family member who summoned Avenger (Berserker)
-Head of the Tohsaka family (Most likely Tokiomi's father)
-A Matou candidate who jobbed hard
I think an LN similar to Zero would be great for that war. Everyone went full Kiritsugu in the end, carpet bombing the place and laying mines and shit.
>>115031221
Nah man. You misunderstand. I mean like proper full-on
Aoko, Touko, Ciel kind of thing. The third war would be nice but seen the kinds of servants the other mages from the other works would get would be amazing

I know, and that's depressing because he had such a good concept that could've been used to far better effect by a better writer.
>>115030952
That's pretty flimsy. Zelretch probably spends his days off just looking through alternate worlds like flipping channels on a TV. He still exists in Fate and UBW.
>>115027631
Long story short, Nasu is a modern day George Lucas, who spunked away all his talent in one go and can only harm his creations from here on out.

Take it up with Nasu, not me.
>Q: Are the three routes of "Fate/stay night" parallel worlds existing at the same time? I was curious since I was how it would look to Zelretch.
>A: They're parallel... sort of. But if Zelretch was observing, it'd become true, and my feelings on the matter is that I'd rather two routes disappear if one was true. If all of these became possible at the same time, the other routes would become meaningless.
>>115031190
Araragi dealt with oddities by having people come to terms with themselves, usually. The exceptions are Shinobu and Hanekawa, but both ultimately gained introspection. Like Oshino, he used force when necessary.
That's a good comparison for Kaiki/Hitagi. But Kaiki specifically lied half the time and told the truth the other half. Senjougahara would be either ambiguous or utterly blunt. If Hitagi knew Kaiki's true motivations, she'd probably love him instead of Araragi.
I don't think Kanbaru will stay involved with oddities, honestly. Maybe just whatever comes across her. But she was only capable of dealing with them personally.
Nah, it wasn't. Sodachi is weird. She's a full genki girl in Zokuo and tries to fuck Araragi. Like everyone else in the book though, I guess.
>>115031287

For Christ's sake, Nasu. I wonder what Takeuchi has to say about that though.
>>115031687
Friendly reminder that if we use this logic, Prisma is more canon than the VN.
>>115031733
You responded to me twice. So I'll answer both.
I'm 50/50 on Araragi, he'd need to be both Yozuru for his methods and Oshino for his approach.
Also Hitagi totally felt positive emotion towards that man in the past.
Yeah, I still think she's the personality parallel though even if she's not the oddity hunter Oshino is. Though admittedly no-one is that cool.
Is Sodachi a boy/was a boy at any point? I've seen the cover and I swear Sodachi having a Peacock on there is a gender thing.
Aoko and Touko team-up with Aoko assuming they're working together and Touko planning to off Aoko. Their entire team-style gels perfectly because Touko is basically Kiritsugu in her style and Aoko the best distraction Touko could ask for
>>115031575
What bothers me is how people can call games like this with sex scenes hentai games or stupid shit like that. It has a couple of sex scenes, so the fuck what? game of thrones has sex scenes but nobody calls that a porno.

Prisma is an official Type Moon product. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't count.
If you wanna keep using that Zelretch quote, you gotta recognize that the Z-Man's observing the loliverse most.
>>115032327
>Prisma is an official Type Moon product. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't count.
Yes and? There's nothing that says "If Zelretch is in this product, then it's more canon". There's no Type Moon bible where this is the first commandment. It's just Nasu's personal feelings in the matter. And Nasu chose to include Zelretch in Heaven's Feel and ONLY in Heaven's Feel. And no point did I say that Fate and UBW weren't canon.
And if you're really gonna push it, I'm fine with accepting Prisma as canon. It's better than Fate and UBW anyway.

That was just the first, the second was a massacre without control. We don't know how much it lasted, only that it was so fucked that they added the whole Church mediation after that.
>>115032422
>It's better than Fate and UBW anyway
Cute. I just want you to recognize that if you keep spamming this quote, you gotta understand that the spin off loli manga is more "real" than 2/3rds of the VN.
>>115031927
I don't like trying to draw parallels, but explaining things like why Shinobu and Araragi want to be life partners and reformed their connection are things I can do easily. I look more deeply into the people as they are and their relationships, not like, what will become of them.
I don't think Nisio was specifically trying to draw parallels with the ghostbusters and the kids. Now that they've got slug, the town is fine.
Yeah, she crushed on him because it seemed like he was trying to save her, totally. But if she realised his intention in the grand scheme, she'd fucking drop her pants immediately. Well, reluctantly probably. With a glare.
She just fell in love with the person who actually saved her.
Personality? Hmmmm, maybe. Araragi turns out pretty laid back and honest like Oshino.
I'm hoping Tsugimonogatari is about their college days or something. Summoning Yotsugi and stuff. We know the price Teori paid for that, but I want to know if Kagenui actually can't step on the ground because of a curse related to her part in that.
Nah. That's just tomboy genki Sodachi on the cover. Zokuo is about mirrors. In reality, she's the humble peafowl. In the mirror, she's genki-as-fuck and the peafowl becomes a peacock.
Touko not getting along with her servant at all because she summons one with a similar personality.
Aoko summoning a persistent piece of shit with limitless energy and terrible parameters.

That's literally what happens in the Fate route. They're running from Berserker, Archer takes him on, they go and have an awkward threesome in a shack and come back to finish Berserker off.
>>115032521
I've been trying not to read your discussion to avoid spoiling Monogatari, seeing as how I can't read beyond what little has been translated, but Aoko summoning a wise master-style Servant (Confucius style) and Touko summoning an ADD one (Astolfo style) would be freaking hilarious.
Your whole post is stupid and becomes invalid thanks to Apocrypha OP.
>>115032613
Like, the time between Archer engaging Berserker and Rin fingerslamming Saber is 10 minutes of reading AT MOST.
>>115032613
And that takes them half a day.

Yeah because writing "half a day of running later" is totally adequate pacing. Unless the translation you read had six hours of Shirou complaining about his legs. Maybe we read different VNs.
As far as I remember, 10 minutes of reading after Archer faces Berserker, they're fucking in the shack.

It's a weird feeling, getting called a secondary, by secondaries. (Not you)
>>115027496
>>Fate/Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN, because Nasu didn't fucking write it and it had a single narrative.
Nice way to nuke your post, secondary.
>>115032990
Please, you'd trade all your students just to see Touko and Prisma Illya in a grail war
>>115032990
If you weren't a secondary you would know why the first two hgw ended up as failures, and the reason is clear as fuck.
Besides, as >>115032996 said, fate zero was pretty much decided by nasu. urobuchi wrote the novel himself, but the events were already stated
>>115032996
I read the F/SN visual novel before you even knew the Fate franchise existed and I still think F/Z is better than F/SN.
>>115033102
If you have to declare you're not a secondary, you're a secondary, man. Nothing screams tryhard harder than saying you were reading Fate before the franchise was cool. (Paraphrased).
You doth protest too much
>>115032887
"He doesn't fight physically"
Just slap his shit from across the table.
>>115032969
The FSN/Zero universe is specifically limited. The greater universe is somewhat gimped because of FSN itself.
I've addressed why already.
>>115033102
Such a statement won't mean much if you don't provide proofs.
Your posts, on the other hand, can be great example to point out your being a secondary
>>115033102
I read the first draft of F/SN back in '87 when I was a foreign exchange student in Japan and Nasu and I were high school buddies.
Checkmate.
>>115032996
There's the accusation again.
>>115033042
I hate all of them so yes, yes I would.
>>115033061
...I do know why they failed. What are you disagreeing with me about? My point about Zero is that Nasu is good at building a universe and making general plot points, Urobuchi did an excellent job of filling in the blanks. A better job than Nasu could've ever dreamed of doing himself.
>>115033205
I whispered the entire story concept into Nasu's ear when he was asleep.
>>115033154
And I'm saying your idea is dumb and what's more it isn't related to the quality of the stories.
The fact that fsn has a multi route structure is non influential, you would have never get a sixth war either way because of the very premise.
fha is a fandisc and should be taken as such
>>115032887
>He doesn't fight physically, but he gambles against masters, either by betting who wins between the two fighting servants or by playing poker, chess or Jenga
I choose Washizu.
>>115033205
I wrote the original Fate/Stay Night in 76 which Nasu would steal 8 years later.
>>115033239
You an oldfag or just like a teacher in Japan teaching English?
Also fucking lol. I bet your students love you
>>115033257
In that respect though, FSN serves as the ultimatum of the core universe.
And it's fucking shit.
>>115033239
my point is that urobuchi did nothing.
he created few irrelevant characters and filled the story with weapons because that is his major fetish, but nothing else.
What's more I think you read the english translation of both works so you can't really judge their writing, especially nasu's.
>>115033314
Nice argument bro
>>115033309
>lol
Fuck off.
>>115033061
I'm curious, how did the 1st 2 failed? was it because only the 3 family participated?
which is the war where they stopped fighting and they just waited for the grail to materialized? which war did the 2 sabers got summoned?
did we ever found out who the 2 sabers are?
>>115033267
now I want see Shirou in Kaiji's place betting his command seal against Washizu while Rin, Saber and archer are sweating at the background with ''Zawa Zawa'' sfx
>>115033326
>my point is that urobuchi did nothing.
>he created few irrelevant characters and filled the story with weapons because that is his major fetish, but nothing else.
That's really not true. He's a humble guy but we know from interviews that he contributed a lot to the story.
For example Iskander would have been a completely different character more like Nero if Nasu had written it. Urobuchi also wrote Kariya's death from scratch. This suggests a fair amount of agency over the story.
>>115033402
>I'm curious, how did the 1st 2 failed? was it because only the 3 family participated?
That's how the first one failed.
The second one, not a 'joke' like OP said, but was the most serious grail war of them all with seven magi going fucking berserk in Fuyuki city, hellraising a ruckus that called the church all the way to japan, resulting in a bloodbath where all seven participants died.
>>115033446
Also Nasu once commented on the discrepancy between the Tokiomi who messed with Rin's clocks in F/SN and the Tokiomi who appears in Fate/Zero.
>>115033402
The first was uncompleted, they had yet to decide how to deal with the system. You could say they failed to finish the ritual to summon the grail.
The second was them slaughtering each other, and that's why they called the church from that point.
We don't know about the two saber summoned in the third war, what is this supposed to prove?
Wait for another prequel.
>people actually think F/SN has artistic integrity
Top fucking kek. No wonder you're disappointed. Just sit back and enjoy ufotable's action scenes.
>>115033446
we know from interviews he did few things, which doesn't mean he transcribed what nasu told him.
still you can't say fz is good because urobuchi did it
>>115033602
>Top fucking kek
>>115027496
Everything about this is retarded. Why bother with more wars? Who wants to expand upon that? Not Nasu. If he wants a new grail war, he'll just make up a new fucking grail war outside of Fuyuki (see: Extra, Apocrypha) or even go back to the Kaleidoscope basics and tell a new story in another universe (see: Prototype, Apocrypha). Not necessarily mutually exclusive.
(Yes, I know Prototype and Apocrypha are not stories Nasu is writing, but that was also my first point. Nasu wanted to write Fate and be done with it. He has more stories to tell than heroes clashing dicks with each other for a wish that will never, ever be granted.)
>>115033309
I'm doing a PhD in social psychology at an Australian university. So if 23 counts as an oldfag, then yes, I suppose. PhD students tend to tutor undergraduate classes in their field, as a supplement to the lectures.
I'm only good with Jap because my primary school forced us to learn it for 4 years, then I took it for another 5 years in high school. Self-taught since. I've only actually been to Japan once, and it was only for a few days.
Uh I dunno, I hope so. I have to try and be nice because of tevals. But usually the kids are fine. It's 80% girls with Daddy complexes anyway.
There's actually this kid in the first year subject I tutor who has honestly said he's just taking social psych as an elective so he can be a "pick-up artist". He wears a graphic tee, cargo shorts, and sandals to every single tute session.
His paper on social ostracism is one of the next I'm marking.
I'm not looking forward to it.

I can't picture out Classy Magus going all out for the Grail, It woul look cool if it gets adapted as a short animation like Fate/Prototype so that we could see a glimpse of hell, now I'm curious on who their servants are
>>115033785
No, the Edelfelts did, in the third war. In the third war, the Einzberns summoned Avenger.

You should screw the kid over and give him terrible grades. "See you next Fall/Semester (insert name)"
I dare you to reference FSN in an official document
>>115027496
Man, what? You're utterly insane. There's nothing stopping them from coming up with alternate universe stuff or adapting some of the earlier wars. Hell I'd love a telling of the third war. And they've already done a bunch of alternate grail war shit. Do you just have a hardon for direct sequels that no amount of spinoffs will cure? It's not like Fate isn't milked enough already. I don't get you.
>>115033715
We can't have a proper sequel because it wouldn't make sense.
When the prize is a wish-granting machine a completion of such a war would mean the end of the conflict and you can't keep talking about failed attempts.
Furthermore the grail being corrupted is why the story had to finish at that point.
You can still write things in another reality, which is possible according to nasuverse, or about other adventures happening there like archer's story, the third war.
>>115033808
I was saying it in general. saying so is the lamest excuse tm haters can used to justify why they actually like it

Eh, that's pretty dangerous, the parents are usually the most dangerous thing though.
>I'm not looking forward to it.

But you can hardly count as oldfag.
>>115033844
Nasu didn't want to make a "proper sequel". He wants to
1. remake Tsukihime
2. do the other two Mahoyos
3. make Tsukihime II
4. maybe something else after that
but people keep clamoring for more Fate and who is he to refuse money? Thus, Fate/Grand Order coming soon hope you're happy.

If you think Nasu's writing is more eloquent in Japanese, I have shocking news for you.
I read both in English at first, went over them in Jap when I was better at reading rune.
>>115033402
The First "war" failed because the families realised it didn't quite grant a collective wish, rather it met the wish of an individual. Although they had the same wish, each family had a different interpretation of the methodology of achieving it, essentially. So they invited four other mages to come along and it turned into an autistic wizard meetup. Didn't conclude because it was their first time, really. The ritual wasn't quite right.
Second war was just a fucking slaughter because they hadn't established a governing body or rules. None of the participants survived.
The Third would've been the first proper war, but the Einzberns are fucking idiots.
The Edefelt sisters summoned 2 sabers in the Third war, 2 sides of the same spirit. It's unknown whether this caused another class to be bumped out of the war, but the 2 sabers were separate.
It hasn't been established which hero Saber was in the third war. It'd have to be someone like Lancelot. Sane and loyal/batshit and traitorous. It was likened to Saber and Saber Alter.
>>115033715
Nasu can't write for shit though, so please no. I'm just saying he fucked up with the establishing piece.
>>115034245

Has anyone tried to make an outline of what a true canon route would be like? I imagine it would just be most similar to HF, but with all the arcs of Saber, Archer, and Team Caster added in. It would be interesting to see someone try to work it out more specifically though
>>115034359
What was fucked up about the establishing piece? Nasu didn't want to write anything more. And if he wants anything more written, he can write in means to let it be so.
>>115034400
There would not be variety at all. It would be all Saber clones.
Just now I've started wondering what the hell the title was supposed to mean.

The greatest shocking news is that I read both in Japanese and even if nasu is far from being the best writer of the medium saying its style is as good as the english translation most of you read is plainly wrong. most of his peculiar as well as good sides are lost in the translation, but since you read it you must know what i'm talking about, am I right?
urobuchi style is plain and isn't better than nasu's.

I get this much but it's too dumb.
it's like saying f/a sucks because they won't make proper sequels to it.
>>115030165
Wasn't it supposed to be another seiba clone?
>>115034422
I'm sure there's a million fanfictions for it. Just like the third war.
>>115034428
Nasu established a great universe. He gimped the future potential of said universe with FSN. I have explained why so many times. It's just my opinion.
>>115034597
I think I understand what you mean by peculiar in Nasu's Japanese, but it didn't come off as characteristic to me, I suppose. It read awkwardly.
I hugely prefer Urobuchi's writing, I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be more simple. It's just more thoughtfully constructed.
Tell you what. I'll give FSN in Jap another go, but who do you think Nasu is most comparable to in terms of writing style?
Surely you'll agree that the sex scenes are only improved by the English translation though, yeah?
>>115030165
>>115035010
Nasu: If I had written Fate/Zero, then Iskandar would have been a character like Red Saber. In my mind, I can only see Iskandar as a worthy opponent to Gilgamesh, but the Iskandar Urobuchi created was an excellent, wild, and unprecedented character that I could have never thought up. But I want to surpass him somehow, so maybe Red Saber was born out of my drive to create a different tyrant from Iskandar.
Yup
>>115034500
Who the fuck is this Ozymandias faggot and in which series is he from? I keep seeing him everywhere in every thread and I still have no idea from where the fuck is he is.
>>115035015
>He gimped the future potential of said universe with FSN
But he didn't. He can just keep doing spinoffs and alternate timelines, exactly as he has been doing.
>>115034914
Not quite, I would've preferred if the Grail wars had more history for others to fill in, to slowly establish a nice core canon.
The history established by FSN limits that to prequels of the Third and Fourth, with 2-page summaries for the First and Second.
Correct about the second sentence though.
>>115034844
It's never worth the crazy.
>>115035015
>He gimped the future potential of said universe with FSN
But he didn't. You're limiting his universe solely to "the fuyuki grail wars", and that's dumb as shit. There's stories to tell about Emiya's future, about Rin's future, about the magus association, about the dead apostle ancestors, about Arcueid and Shiki, about renegade magi, about Sion, about the end of the world and the war of overcount 1999, about the aylesbury valesti, about the fourth sorcery, about the first sorcerer's inheritor, about what Jubstacheit will do after the end of the grail war, blah blah blah Nasu has a fuckton of stuff to go on with his universe.
>>115034597
>urobuchi style is plain and isn't better than nasu's.
え？違うよ
なんで一人はとても違うか
>>115035015
Why the fuck do you want everything on the "main" timeline? Every time someone wants to cram thousands and spin-offs and alternate storylines on the main timeline it becomes a enormous clusterfuck where nothing makes sense.
>>115034597
>Urobuchi Gen (Madoka) - If you ignore the actual content of his stories he's A tier, but I'll put him here since I wasn't really blown away by anything he wrote except Kikokugai. Really vivid and descriptive writing with a super huge vocabulary, pretty much the best at describing action scenes and giving you a picture of what's happening in your head in general other than Jackson.
I'll believe Moogy over you since I know Moogy is actually good at Japanese.
>>115035102
Gimped the core universe, moreso. And any alternate timeline shit he's had a part in has been awful.
And don't imply he's had a heavy influence on the writing of Apocrypha.
>>115035095
He is from Prototype Fragments.
>>115035195
Extra CCC was better than Zero in terms of writing.
>>115035112
Except the Grail wars aren't particularly important in the grand scale of the Type-Moon universe.
You just seem mad about Fate being one of Nasu's one off works that happened to get popular enough to be expanded upon a bit in spinoffs in prequels. Which is just dumb, really dumb.
The point about bitching about H/A is just silly.
>>115035195
>Extra
>Bad
>>115035195
But he had? He made like half of the cast, the main setting and the whole idea. It was explained in the Ace that was released with Apocrypha preview.
>>115035195
>And any alternate timeline shit he's had a part in has been awful.
So he gives you more Fate stuff, and you say it's shit. Wow there's no pleasing you. And what makes you think if he worked on "core" stuff it would be any better? He's still the same Nasu.
>>115035127
But they'd all suffer from the KnK thing of "oh this is just a parallel universe/possibility~~~".
Please read the rest of the thread.
>>115035167
Please read the rest of the thread.
>>115035195
Almost all the Servants were made by Nasu. The bad ones like Jack were the ones by Higashide.
And the best part of Apocrypha are the Servants.
>>115035287
>But they'd all suffer from the KnK thing of "oh this is just a parallel universe/possibility~~~".
That's dumb as fuck, Kaleidoscope, it's all canon. KnK is as canon as the rest. Did you not like KnK?
Hell that applies to Fate/Stay Night itself, because it shows 45 different iterations of one guy's life.
>>115035095
>Who the fuck is this Ozymandias faggot
The King of Kings
>>115035112
10000th grails war, why would anyone want something like that?
Creating many shorter versions is better.
And as I already said you can still make war in other countries or talk about what happened afterwards or in another universe. If they are milking it it means it's not so limited.
>>115035084
Nero and Iskandar aren't so different character wise. You don't think so because all you can see is another saber clone which is partly true.
>>115035287
>But they'd all suffer from the KnK thing of "oh this is just a parallel universe/possibility~~~".
Again, why is this a problem? It seems to me you are completely buttblasted because you realized Type Moon will not go the way your headcanon went or something like that.
So basically this thread can be said to be a guy who doesn't like conclusions or actual climaxes making a fuss?
>>115035219
>>115035239
>Extra
>>>/out/
It was terrible.
>>115035247
He really didn't though. It shows in the interviews.
>>115035382
More or less, yeah.
>Nasu didn't do things like I wanted him to do!
>That means everything is shit!
>>115035326
He manages to look genuinely gayer than Archer, that's an accomplishment.
>>115035385
>Shitting on Extra
>Sitting on CCC
Never mind you're just a faggot.
>>115035422
>Archer
>Gay looking
I'm not homo at all but Archer is the epitome of masculinity and would be all over his dick if I were a grill.
>>115035385
But the interviews actually said he did. It even explain how he recruited Higashide playing mahjong to write Apocrypha, and how they created the setting together. He then designed all the new Servants that weren't in the online game, while Higashide did the human characters.
>>115035179
I will ignore the fact you used moogy as source.
Tell me, did I ever write urobuchi is a bad writer?
I didn't, because he is fine. His writing is plain though, he doesn't waste time with a particular prose, he is more direct.
I think moogy likes nasu too, if that matters.
>>115035136
Sugoi Japanese oniichan, the second sentence is awful.
>>115035015
What was I talking about? It's pretty obvious if you read the novel, could you point it out? Too many people pretend to do things they don't.
I skipped all the sex scene but they suck all the time.
>>115035303
The shitty generic ones were Nasu's ideas in some cases, yeah. It's easy to make a servant template though.
The actual plot and writing of Apocrypha is good, and he had no large part in that.
>>115035458
>Archer is the epitome of masculinity
I guess it is considering he's one of the most wanted regarding gay TM stuff.
>>115035435
extra is awful, ccc is great
>>115035385
>It was terrible.
fuck off secondary
>>115035520
>Too many people pretend to do things they don't.
>I skipped all the sex scene but they suck all the time.
>>115035564
Is it even possible to be a secondary in the case of Extra?
>>115035588
I dont think i ever wrote anything about sex scenes but thanks to this post now i know you were pretending to know shit you don't
>>115035520
>Skipping the sex scenes
>Skipping the HF sex scenes
I don't know what to think about you, but I'm pretty sure that you're a faggot.
>>115035636
Maybe if you play it with hax.
>>115035636
Commenting on CCC without actually playing it, usually.
>>115035649
You don't need to read ten minutes of sakura sucking shirou's dick to understand the story
>>115035520
>His writing is plain though, he doesn't waste time with a particular prose, he is more direct.
But that's the opposite of what Moogy said and I believe Moogy to be more trustworthy than you since he actually knows Japanese.
>I think moogy likes nasu too, if that matters.
Moogy actually called Nasu amateurish. Don't confuse "It's not as bad as Taka Jun" for "It's good".
OP here;
Anyway I actually have to get out now, otherwise I'm not going to meet an already extended deadline. Didn't think the thread would go this long.
I'll just post about FSN being a terrible core or something in another thread and argue with you guys about it then.
It's been fun.
i feel unclean for not having played H/A yet. I heard the translation was finished, anyone know?
>>115035676
This whole thread is made of secondaries, what were you expecting?
>>115035714
Moogy said Nasu was amateurish in Fate/Stay Night, but got much better afterwards, even by Hollow Ataraxia.
>>115035524
Stop making shit up to fix your fucking headcanon. The whole setting was made by Nasu, the only shitty Servant is Jack and that one was made by Higashide (along with the human characters) and the rest were from the guests in the original online game.
Nasu directly did Shirou, Mordred, Sieg, Chiron, Karna, Achilles, and Avicebron.
>>115035721
Yeah, it's finished. There's a beta patch out.
I'm personally waiting for them to finish the last QC before I play it, but you can go right now if you want.
>>115035720
You're a fag OP.
>>115035720
Drown in your ideals and die.
>>115035712
Ignoring the fact that the HF scenes were pretty good they are pretty important to one of Sakura's major developments.
Anyway you're still kind of a faggot.
>>115035720
Have fun being a pedantic whiny faggot next time
>>115035720
>I'll just post about FSN being a terrible core
Well you're a colossal faggot because the core of the universe is Tsukihime.
>>115034620
Actually, Gilgamesh should have looked more like f/z rider + beard.
