Fate/Apocrypha Material Translation

[EDreamer]

Well, it's been a while since I've had any news to give regarding Fate/Apocrypha, but I'm happy to announce a new side project starting now: the translation of Fate/Apocrypha Material, in collaboration with tmdict.com, who provided the scans and offered to help edit it. The plan is to create a full translation of the entire thing, but for the time being, I'm going to be focusing on the glossary section of it, since that is the part that tmdict plans to post on their site. (Also, I'm going to translate following Japanese alphabetical listing in the glossary, so don't be surprised by the seemingly random groupings of terms.)

Now first, let's get the spoiler warning out of the way: F/AM contains information on EVERYTHING from the novels, from beginning to end, so those who aren't far into the series and don't want to get spoiler should only read through it cautiously if they do.

[aldeayeah]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Nuclear]

oh my god

semiramis lore bits whee

[Corbeck]

Thanks for the translation

Is the oil tycoon mentioned in the KotRT entry supposed to be Atomic Gatorade?

[Roxas]

Naturally, there are many frauds and swindlers. It’d be nice if a certain oil magnate got swindled.

which person is nasu talking about here?

[Rafflesiac]

that has the properties of a Dragon-type suicide attack.

So Armor of Fafnir doesn't get the + against a Dragon-typed NP? Or is it against a Dragonslaying NP like Balmung?

[Seika]

Latin transliterations.

Interesting stuff about Akhilleus' NPs and classes, though. Significant to that old debate.

[Rafflesiac]

They'll spell it Diatrecon Aster Loghke and you're going to like it.

[Zenieth]

fucking achilles

So Armor of Fafnir doesn't get the + against a Dragon-typed NP? Or is it against a Dragonslaying NP like Balmung?

It's dragon slaying NP. The term used is the same term used in GO to described Ascalon, or Iron Maiden for those types of NPs.
But can also mean suicide attack in the case of La Pucelle.
Mew and Canon use "Special Attack" which is what each character describes.
However, the idiom, I believe it's an idiom, is suicide attack.

Also to elaborate on the random ordering, Higashide orders his glossary by alphabetical order on the katakana of the NP.
While Nasu usually orders it by the kanji of the NP.
So like for Atalanta's pelt, Higashide puts in the A section. While Nasu would put it in the K section.

Wait, so Siegfried would be weak to blasted tree/spartacus?

[You]

Wait, so Siegfried would be weak to blasted tree/spartacus?

He's weak against the same stuff Saber would be weak against.

[LJ3]

So Mordred's armor was actually pretty good.

I can accept that.

[Zenieth]

So does that mean Mordred's armor is an np?

I mean, it's pretty good at stopping NPs.

[LJ3]

Dunno, she has no legend of super good armor, but since it can survive the average Noble Phantasm...

it shoukd be something on the level of one.

[Zenieth]

Also love how Moedred and Higashide were based on bonnie and clyde.

Thas some good stuff, Higa.

[Vagrant]

Hmm, some interesting stuff there. I like all the information about Subspecies Grail Wars and I appreciate the Hassan boom. Finally a chance to shine!

I kind of hope Apocverse becomes a spinoff world withthings written about the smaller Grail Wars. The catalyst competitions over Herk and Ahk amuse me.

[Stasis]

Heavenly hell and infernal heaven.

It's actually happening.

The Japanese managed not to be slaves to the Romans when talking about Greek heroes; I don't see why we have to. *pouts*
