    Like the hypothetical you gave. Isn't that the same thing as hating corporations but working at a starbucks and getting along with your co-workers?
    Yeah it is kind of, but with magic, there isn't one way to approach it, and I wouldn't hate magecraft, but magi. Spellcasters are fine. The other reason I really don't like magus culture is because they tend to be humanity's line of defense along with the Church against worse supernatural evils like DAs. I just wish a more morally upstanding and heroic group of people had that job.

    Isn't that like a cliche in fiction though.

    TEAM AMERICA FUCK YEAH

    And like the Association is only really the defense against supernatural stuff in like Europe.

    Hey, it's not a bad cliche, particularly when there are bad supernatural stuff out there. In any case, the Association has acted far beyond the borders of Europe many times, so...
    Also, what do we know about other non-European magus orgs?

    I bet it’s exactly like the television show Supernatural and the Europeans are all posh dicks while the American version of the Association is just like some run down old bar in the Midwest somewhere

    Off the top of my head the Association has acted in Europe and in Japanese lands where they had influence. They have sent operatives to other locales but i don't think you can say that's "action," more spy stuff.
    And that's kind of it. It's more a statement on the diversity of locations of non-fate typemoon works though.

    The middle east has an organization.
    Japan has one that is basically ruled by one family that isn't the aozaki.
    There some in china.
    And there's local Demon Hunting Organizations all over the world.

    Chivalrious Orders are just about the most shockingly underused thing in the setting, considering Nasu's fascination with Dark Souls.

    He's probably too ashamed of the halberds line to use them or something.

    Touko-san's cold expression doesn't change a bit. Even confronted with that glare, the young man is smiling broadly.
    "On top of that Japan is such an excellent country. You say it's a backwater, but because of that the Association's surveillance is poor. A dictatorial mage family exists in this country, so the relationship between here and our organisation is like fire and water. It was a Yin-Yang teaching derived from the continent or something. I can really differentiate between that and Shinto, but well it isn't really a problem.
    Their good point is that they don't act first unless you encroach upon their sovereignty. Unlike the Association they are reclusive, so apparently they don't act before something happens but after the fact. They are masters of cleaning up the mess. It turns out all Japanese are like that. Ah, I'm not saying that in a bad way. Instead this is a good thing for me. Since not having any disturbances occur during a plan is something which is unthinkable in my country. For those mages who leave the Association this country is perfect."
    find out never

    I believe Rin mentions seeking help from the Middle East organization if things go south with the Clock Tower after Heaven's Feel, doesn't she?
