    Shatterpoints in star wars i think were like that as well? and also some weird precog thing as well

  2. #31302
    Shatterpoints were basically two different things which shared the same name. The first type were where a Jedi used the Force to map out the internal structure of an object and identify its weak points, then overloaded those weak points with the Force to destroy the whole thing in one blow. Kinda like reinforcement magecraft, but with the opposite outcome.

    The second type combined the technique of "mapping out the structure and finding the weak points" with the Jedi's precog to find events, people, etc, that if destroyed will trigger the destruction of a larger phenomenon. For example, before the Clone Wars started, Mace Windu used this technique to identify Count Dooku as one of the "shatterpoints" of the coming war, meaning that if he killed him, he could prevent the war from starting. With this type, the Force only provided the information about where the weak point is; the Jedi had to destroy it themselves, but shooting or stabbing it or whatever.

    While actually reading Shatterpoint the novel, I got the impression that it was just Mace's philosphy thing that had nothing to do with the Force at all. Maybe they took it and expanded it because it was one of the better ones. Remember Shatterpoint the novel from EU that came out shortly after Attack of the Clones and was actually kind of good unlike Attack of the Clones? Buy our Rey figurines they're about to turn into tsukumogami oh god help

    It just occurred to me how poetically fitting it is that Kirei attempted to kill Kiritsugu by crushing his heart, but failed because of Avalon, and then Kiritsugu tried to kill Kirei by shooting him through the heart, but failed because of the Grail.

    And the more I think about it, the more thematically appropriate it becomes.

    you can even argue that caster of zero and SN affection and devotion for their ''loved one'' that they would do any means possible to achieve their goal for them is a backpat to each other

    We need Abby in a Fate console game. We need more Fate console games. We need more Fate console games on Switch as to not be reliant of Sony's censorship policies. Warriors Orochi 4 has Nobunaga flex his shotacon muscles by taking Nezha as another "retainer" along with Ranmaru. In F/GO, Ranmaru is not yet a Servant, while both Nobu and Nezha are genderbent. Yuri time?

    What does Ufotable have to do with Grand Order (much less the rest of the franchise) beyond the occasional promo video a couple minutes long? Technically they could easily do Nasu's vampire story while the game goes on. And it's not like Prillya and Strange/Fake are actually moving anywhere anyway either, not to mention it's not like Ufotable would be touching them regardless. Requiem will surely get a different eventual animation studios as well, and Hollow Ataraxia is pretty much unadaptable. They won't make more Extra anime after Last Encore's relative flop, and from the game remake we've seen Type-Moon's too pussy now to touch back on CCC.

    I have a hard time thinking of a fitting Fate project left for Ufotable to do.

    I'm not sure Type-Moon really wants to go back to the Prototype/Fragments well. They even seem to go out of their way to subtly remark of Ayaka as useless, and by now Arthur in GO and his plotline seem like sort of an unwanted minor appendage they want to pretend it's not there. The recent Part 2 video somehow gives me the impression Camelot Lostbelt would be about Castoria's world rather than Arthur's.

    Apocrypha is a wrapped thing, and while their characters will stick around, the story itself is a thing of the past.

  16. #31316
    There's never been any indication that Lostbelt 6 would be about Arthur
    His beast hunt will probably continue anyway

    I still think fairy girl looks like a Manaka Pseudo but with Castoria present in LB6 Arthur is very unlikely to show up too, so maybe she isn't Manaka after all.

    Yeah, it was expanded and turned into a more codified ability in later works, so that it could be learned by characters from later eras who had no connection to Mace. Off the top of my head, Jacen and Jaina Solo and Cade Skywalker all learned it at some point.

    A very serious post about mental health in our community.

    what kind of traumatic event leads someone to go from posting "umu" to posting "uwu"?

    this is important. what can we do to prevent this?
