Fate/strange fake (Free-Range Spoilers)

[Altaris]

So we can't criticize characters because Japanese rando like them ?

Then again plenty JP people like shits like SAO or Mahouka

you are outright dissing JP people that includes Kinoko.

[Nobody]

oh no

anyone but him

[Rafflesiac]

For all the shit people on BL give writers/characters here I doubt any of them mail razors or firebomb TM's offices.

The worst I've heard of was when Ivan mailed a death threat to Chris and got off basically scot-free with a private warning, thanks mods

[Magikewl]

lol if mr.eggplant mushroom breaks down in tears at the very thought of me clowning on his babies then that’s an L on him

[Rafflesiac]

(aka don't take this so seriously, Amado)

Oh no how can Kinoko even cope when i criticizes one of the characters he doesn't even write in his universe

He might have to cry into his humongous saving and Dark Soul save files to ease his pain

[GundamFSN]

Funny his design actually make me assume he is a guy from the get go.

Yeah "cute girl" is the last thing I think of when looking at his design

Grr just you wait until we get Shamhat.

I'll let her boobs talk some sense to you guys.

Yes I also diss Kinoko when he wrote crappy shits in Extella or Last Encore. No one is safe from dissing.

Yeah I would not waste my time sending mails to TM office to explain why I hate this and that character, because I have gacha games to play.

[Ronove]

I just want more Flat. Is that so much to ask?

[noname14]

Enkidu has more character development in his FGO interlude than in the entire SF up to now

[Altaris]

Yeah i meant 0.00001 is larger than 0

[noname14]

off the top of my head, Enkidu's characterization has been:

- friend of nature
- extreme hatred for ishtar
- Gil friendship
- regret over killing the humbaba
- actually a flat out murder machine if he gets ordered to kill

I'm quite sure that he will just murder things if the mood strikes, getting ordered or not

[Nisaba]

Hmm I seemed to have missed quite a bit of the Enkidu conversation (that I may have sparked?) but I'll say a bit anyway. The reason why I find Enkidu interesting is because of what he is and how that informs his humanity. He was created as a tool by the Gods to keep this one arrogant guy in check and yet, he shifts into something else. I've read through the Epic of Gilgamesh and I found his gradual changes from beast to human to friend as he acquired more "humanity" in that to be curious. I thought it was neat that such a concept could be talked about thousands of years ago in one of the first stories so I guess that's why I look forward to seeing more from the Epic here.

It's ultimately up to the writer on how they choose to represent these characters again but I already see hints of sarcasm and playfulness, regret and respect for nature, a matter-of-fact sense of confidence not unlike Gil's, and a penchant for violence/battle. Even if some of you may think he is boring, I hope Enkidu gets further chances to be expanded on here. As for Gil, the manner in which he reacts and speaks to Enkidu is so different to anybody else he's addressed that the contrast amuses me. I find his whole "in a good mood" vibe really funny if I'm being honest and I don't think I'd get that if I hadn't seen what he was like in FSN or FZ to compare.

For me, it's not about shipping Gil & Enkidu, I'm simply looking forward to seeing how their friendship will play out this time around. Already events are happening in a similar way to their Epic, what with Ishtar/Gugalanna and how the Pale Rider is Enkidu's natural enemy (not sure if that hints that he will die by it but I hope not). It may seem boring to a lot of you, but for me I've been liking the build up so far.

I also find other character dynamics in SF to be compelling. Flat continues to bring a fun energy to everything (and I'm rather worried how he and Jack will fare going forward), the whole Watcher/Sigma thing is really weird to me, Richard and Ayaka are everything I was hoping they'd be (and I do like the idea behind Richard's friends tagging along as shadows).

So I don't think SF has been written poorly, we're 4 volumes in and it only now feels like the build up is winding down. Not sure if that means the pace is way too slow, but I've been enjoying the overall quality of each volume so far.

Its not SF’s fault, it’s that Gilgamesh was already popular so people automatically love his green haired sidekick.

which is like the main draw for the average fan into SF. But lots of people wind up getting attached to the rest of the cast. Doesn’t stop the people drawing Gilkidu & tagging it FSF just because people know that’s HGW they are in together.

I Know, I love Enkidu and Gil a lot individually. It's just that I have his name blacklisted on Tumblr now cause I'm tired of seeing the shipping art whenever I look in the tag

Well it's been about a year and a half since we've gotten a new volume, so hype dies down for some and people get impatient.

Also strange fake manga volume 4 has been delayed since next year for some reason

Same or I did anyway; I eventually settled with just blacklisting Gilkidu which sometimes helps.

Yeah I would not waste my time sending mails to TM office to explain why I hate this and that character, because I have gacha games to play.

I see.

TM has now completely become a corporation that learned diversion tactics.

In order for the people to not complain about the writing of other literature, they divert all of those energies to their popular game.

And to the main story...

Yep, still waiting on it, Narita.

I play like 5 other gacha games and hardly grind FGO outside of events, so not really. These days SMT Dx2 and Himegari Imperial Meister took more of my time than FGO lol.

[GundamFSN]

I play like 2 other gacha games and hardly grind FGO outside of events, so not really.

Same lol.
