Its a difference in japanese words being used. "Attacks being inneffective" is not the same as "attacks being conceptually nullified". Nasu actually never used conceptually nullified when describing Herc's resist.
>Gods/Divine Spirits (the Mesopotamian ones in particular) as entities born out of human belief from the planet being changed to gods/Divine Spirits (the Mesopotamian ones in particular) as entities derived from ancient aliens (implied to be TYPEs). This was also bundled up with stuff like the Picts being aliens.
Both still gods. THere are gods born from human belief, there are aliens being worshipped as gods and then become gods. Its not a mutually exclusive thing.
>The Hassans going from the only Heroic Spirits in existence who even qualify for the Assassin classto the idea that they were the only Assassins a misconception based on the fact that every summoning of the class involved the word "assassin" being used as a catalyst.
Well, thats not exactly true. It has always been that way since CM3.
>Tiamat being some super special Beast in FGO when she was just a normal Divine Spirit in CCC Foxtail and Apocrypha
Being A only mentioned in 1 entry does not preclude being A is more special than what is revealed.
>Servants keeping their memories from previous summonings in FGO (you can't just say "the summoning system is different", Chaldea would have to be summoning the HS directly rather than making a Servant copy were they to do that).
Yes you can say that. Fuyuki was Windows XP while Chaldea is Windows 10. Windows 10 has this nifty function where my PC remembers the update and can roll back to previous system update, while Windows XP has to uhhh IIRC manual download update.
Ok maybe bad analogy but anyway Fuyuki is only a summoning system. Chaldea is both a summoning system and a bank data. Fuyuki summoning is always from zero because there's no save data. Chaldea has save data, so when Chaldea summons something the summoned being conforms to the save data.
>Fate and Tsukihime being in the same -- or at least similar -- timeline due to EMIYA having received his red coat from Ciel
Well, first of all, tHis is less established canon and more Nasu being "it'd be interesting if thats what happens."
Second of all, for all you know there are like, more than one clergy member likes curry other than Ciel.
>Primate Murder being turned into a fucking mascot character with a verbal tic.
By definition, this is not a retcon. Fou can and still will be prime killer doggo on steroid if let loose on bad environment.
>Originally servant shaving rpg like parameters and rankings was just because that was the easiest way for shiro to visualize them and other masters viewed servant strengths in different ways but it seems like everyone sees it just like yamato carrot head now.
Tina Chelc sees it as river flows.

Im finding it slightly funny that the retcon claim does not include things where Nasu actually says "Actually that's a lie" moments.
