Fate/Grand Order Story and Lore (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Wandering Swordwoman]

And ROMA made her say she loves Guda. Goofy shit.

Wtf that kind of interlude 0_0

Is it better than Persona 4 shadow shit? "I'm shadow, your true self" kind?

so looks like Hector pretty much mentioned every Achaean big name hero with the exception of Diomed, waiting to see when they would implement them. Ajax is someone that has been to far long overdue

"The two Aias brothers"

Poor Teukros, that's what you get for founding a city instead of suiciding in a bout of madness like your big brother.

The reason why Cu Alter interlude is like this is that Higashide couldn't write a good Servant fight even if his life depended on it. He's like a guy who mashes buttons/spams one move in fighting games, only the HP bar is limitless so he can't lose. Because of that to make the resulting slog even remotely cool he has to rely on throwing big names and contrivances.

[Iceblade44]

Yeah keep telling yourself that.

[neveron]

The real reason for unsatisfying fights in F/GO is usually just because the actual fight takes place in gameplay and so the narrative bit is just "here's the opening blow" and "here's the finishing blow and final monologue", occasionally with some extra bits in-between if the fight takes multiple arrows.
There's plenty of bits where the story flows really awkwardly if read in My Room but is decent enough when actually played through.

Fights that have more to them than that are usually ones that are outside gameplay, e.g. King Hassan vs. Gawain, although you do get the occasional awesome one where the gameplay is bookended by cool scenes. Usually big climactic ones in Singularities etc., though, rather than just interludes.

legit asking here
do you actually read the interlude before having this opinion?
not the 5 alinea, 3 minute reading summary of the interlude, but the actual half an hour long interlude

[Zurvan]

Of course not, why would he, thats just silly

Do you need to eat the whole plate of rotting greenish meat covered in flies to conclude that it was bad?

[castor212]

the interlude is the actual cooked meat
the reddit version is preserved meat from instant meal you get for cheap in 24/7 mini market
thinking that they are the same or representative of each other is well
lol

[fumei]

wow just mindlessly bashing higashide without even reading anything who would think of doing something like that???

tbh this is actually exactly what I imagine everyone who parrots this shit to be like so I'm not surprised in the slightest.

[AmADo VII]

people just can't stop hurting Kinoko eh.

[rxrx]

I think Yan Qing and Danzo's interlude are pretty well written. The former closes the issue with Doppleganger while the latter cures Danzo' Alzheimer.

I've read pretty much all parts of Apocrypha that is availible in English and most of F/GO ones, so let's say I am not unfamiliar with that cook.
Also, why won't you provide any counter points? If the side story of Ow the Edge is that good, I would admit that it was unfair judgement.

[castor212]

so you didnt eat nor see the meat that is cu alter interlude, but just actually think that the 3 minute instant food is actually the same as the cooked food

lol k

[rxrx]

so you didnt read Cu Alter interlude, got it

I think people made too much of a fuss over it.

yeah i guess so
kinda hilarious tbh lol

So you telling me he didn't boss rush Heracles, Saber Alter and Karna, winning that Grail War in half a hour?

[rxrx]

yeah i guess so
kinda hilarious tbh lol

I dunno. I read it, think it is just a recycle of his first interlude and just thinks meh. This is especially because I've finished Yan Qing and Danzo's just before him. Heck, even Monk guy's proving himself better than his corrupted copy and Caesar revealing that he is determined to remain plum since slimming will cause Cleo to stop existing is more interesting.

because im not arguing anything
simply finding people who judge things without actually touching the thing hilarious

- - - Updated - - -

also, define fair judgement lol
because i thought judging things fairly means looking at the whole fact properly instead of assuming stuffs, but clearly thats a misconception

actually the quality of the interlude is besides my point, see above
but on that topic, i personally think the whole point actually isnt about the battle or Cu's strenght in and of itself
