my username otaku tycoon spelled just like the channel name speaking of fate today's video is going to be a loving roast of the NASA verse and believe you me I love the NASA verse but that doesn't mean I think it's perfect hell I personally believe that loving something involves acknowledging its flaws in sticking with it in spite of those flaws in other words to find something's imperfections as part of what makes something perfect besides if you look at carnival phantasm you know type-moon loves to make fun of itself all the time with that I've gathered my own complaints to whine [ __ ] about for your entertainment first off you may have heard me complain about this before but I find artorias very first fight against ku Hollen in stayin I'd really stupid our boy ku whips out his gay bold a spear that is later boasted to be incapable of missing its targets hard to the point where it manipulates cause-and-effect to guarantee a hit and he uses it on our Toria she dodges it wait what yeah the very first time we get to see a badass on dodge able spear used in action our very first noble phantasm in the franchise it misses its fatal mark why because our Toria has a high luck stat and an instinct skill that miraculously lets her sense the cause and effect being rewritten so she can react to it really that's one of the lamest reasons I've ever heard of is there anywhere in artorias lore where she can literally sense distortions in space-time no this just makes cool look like an incompetent loser in dart or eeeh a Mary Sue believe me I want or Toria to be a badass so she usually is but I wanted to be hard earned and not an [ __ ] surely an ass who could have arranged things to make ku seem more formidable I mean seriously I don't think there's a single moment in fate/stay night where his gay Bolg actually succeeds and amia blocks it with roe iose and hasan crushes coos heart before it can connect don't get me wrong it's funny as hell seeing ku being compared to South Park's Kenny but it always made me tilt my head when people boasted about his strength on another tangent [ __ ] stat sheets I don't care what alignment you've given a character nor the rank of their abilities going by that formula is never going to get you a dramatic story thankfully fate ignores these stat sheets most of the time and presenting its narrative sure on paper Gilgamesh is arguably the strongest servant but using that to justify him winning every battle he faces would be boring the real dramatic Pole and the reason I like him as a character is that we get to see the rare circumstances in which he can actually be defeated aka Avalon or she rose unlimited blade works the fact that for all his power he's hindered by his own hubris same thing goes for karna losing to siege in fate Apocrypha Karnas the stronger servant but sometimes strength isn't everything circumstances lead up so that his greatest attack is nullified when a stall foe jumps into the fray with Achilles a shield that kind of twist is what makes this story so dramatic and awesome so yeah I couldn't care less about stat sheets those are only relevant as they pertain to a game's mechanics so I don't get fates fascination with them at all oh and let's not fail to mention how tight moon's visual novels are some of the most beloved and internationally famous visual novels out there and yet not a single one has got an official localization I don't know what they're thinking but I can't help but suspect they think their novels are too good for the rest of the world I've been screaming shut up and take my money for over a decade to no avail these devs must be swimming in their own [ __ ] clouded aquariums unable to notice just how popular their stuff is it literally took them coming out to Anime Expo and seeing tons of Japan exclusive characters being cosplay by foreigners in swarms of players paying fortune to an untranslated fgo to get official localization wakeup type-moon you've created a global phenomenon okay let's target localization now shall we calling our Toria Altria is one of the worst localization failures in existence before fgo got its english version i remember getting an import figure of art oriya that said Altria on the side of the box this was obviously an English fail in Japan to say art oriya you say ah do todya which when said quickly does sound like art oriya but that completely ignores the fact that art Oriya and artorias are actually English names the very names being converted into Japanese syllabary the same [ __ ] can be seen in initial D Takumi drives the Toyota Trueno ae86 but in early seasons of the anime his car's 3d model says Turin oh the Japanese syllables don't allow them to say true since the consonant for T needs to be followed by a vowel we get this localized Torino when the Japanese sound out their pronunciation and write it as English that really only works when a word is Japanese in origin take Sephiroth and Final Fantasy 7 the Japanese don't have a th sound so they say Cepheid Oh sue but they're clearly referencing an English word ignoring that is just bad translation Naz who's essentially forced Aniplex of America to use a broken English term as an official translation what a dork speaking of Nasu being an oddball there's his obsession with declaring what is and isn't canon in his works no matter how unreasonable his rulings are the guy deemed fate/zero to be non Canon for crying out loud honestly the only thing that fate/zero got wrong with us far was their portrayal of Fein McCool but even then that's only because Naz who turned the guy into a blond beauty after the fact outside of 0 we only hear about the fourth Grail war from characters reminiscing in fate/stay night if nasi wants that to be cannon while fate/zero isn't then there's really no point giving a [ __ ] about cannon in the nasty verse at all everything's just an alternate universe anyway and another thing I'm sorry NASA but you've seriously got to stop expecting fans of your works to have read little short stories you made in high school either take that [ __ ] and officially incorporate it into the timeline or stop making references to it of course I'm referring to notes his little story about the world's destruction that loosely serves as the backbone to his entire universe going back to stay night there's our beloved protag Shiro there's an ongoing debate about whether he's a well-written character or not and a lot of that argument hinges on the presence of internal monologues within the visual novel that don't make their way to animation so yeah the novel's going to give us way more information than an anime can hope to especially when it comes to character's thoughts but I'd argue that Shiro is actually one of the most transparent characters out there to the point that you really don't need that monologue in most cases his survivor's guilt his selfless sacrificial nature his love for our Toria it all comes across clearly to me without the novel's spelling it out for us next I'm gonna have to compare type-moon to Smaug the dragon preciously guarding its hoard of gotcha gold sure fate Grand order is literally the most successful and profitable asset but by indulging it they've essentially said [ __ ] it with all the creations they've made prior above all else as their treatment of Sookie may literally after over a decade since promising a remake type moon doesn't think it's worth the effort financially sadly it's hard to blame them too since all it takes to make money for them is to reintroduce an ileus pseudo servant or something like that for the eighth time still you've got to at least get a little angry at how they're selling out the very least they could do is make pseudo servants out of the other franchises make Zurcher are Kuwait for fgo and for the love of God find a way to put Bizet in their fgo itself is a [ __ ] of mixed opinions the gotcha system is certainly awful despite its comedic reputation what I've got a beef with though is the fact that fgo can never seem to take itself seriously or rather when it does get serious it's a top layers of jokes and self referential material in North America we recently got our hands on Cleopatra as a servant to summon but she's introduced through a silly Halloween event you tell me the earth is going to be incinerated if we don't visit the other singularities and correct them yet we have the time to screw around with Elizabeth báthory holiday antics and even get lost on a deserted island for centuries the events in fgo are supposed to be fun and fanservice e they certainly are but it's really lame when official or otherwise important characters are introduced from these silly events just imagine how weird that'd be in an anime form one episode we solved the Camelot singularity facing off against a distorted King Arthur to the next running around beating up pumpkin monsters you'd have to keep that type of filler episode now that you've woven Cleopatra into it and for the love of God stop giving us more versions of Elizabeth báthory her being turned into a mecha loli is just too silly to blend in with the rest of the storyline on the topic of silly ass servants let's roast a few Thomas Edison what the [ __ ] he looks like all might had sex with the MGM lion I understand one's legend can sometimes override the facts of one's life just taking things too far the gender-bending is ridiculous two specific historical figures like King Arthur and Nero being women in the NAS diverse is quite fun but certain characters whose masculinity is part of their character getting bent as cringy [ __ ] Paul Bunyan literally the archetype for the big hairy lumberjack man we all think of when we hear of a woodsman is replaced by a petite blonde lolly really now I love waifu but that's just too much as for sabor faces [ __ ] I really can't complain just because our Toria and Okita have similar facial structures doesn't mean I see them as the same person or anything but giving each servant to summer form that really only works is fanservice so I'm fine as long as it stays that way shoot then we have altars altars make sense in theory but fate has a tendency to make even the most deplorable people sympathetic our Turia's altar is during human rationality her strict policies brought forward without emotion but thanks to FGM oh she's mostly a joke either friggin Santa Claus or a hot topic model shelters well done basically the pure virgin turned naughty and vengeful but so many other altars are there is just a cheap palette swab sure their wife who is [ __ ] but they do dilute the actual meaning behind an altar servant huh thank you for indulging me in this chaotic rant I hope you've enjoyed yourselves these are just my opinions and I'm in no way trying to rain on anyone's parade I'm sure we all have different things to complain about feel welcome to share them in
