I think the FGO haters have a bit more of an argument in the sense that the Persona games have legitimate merit to the point where "Persona" is a name that gets people excited just due to the fact the games are so beloved, whereas FGO is more of a thing that you "put up with" in order to extract the morsels of good from. I do know that there are people out there who legitimately have fun with most if not every aspect of FGO and I do not mean to devalue these people however.

That being said the FGO hateboner basically extends to all of the Fate side at this point and some people dislike aspects of FGO that I feel are unjustified just due to the fact that "it's FGO". If FGO was completely worthless then something like LB6 wouldn't exist - fan engagement on the level of GUT wouldn't exist.

I don't think Deathhappens meant to put Persona down so much as "it's technically not mainline SMT which is what I meant", which is just correct.

I know.

[Deathhappens]

I know that's not the argument here but seeing people still call Persona a spin-off in 2023 is hysterical.

I mean, regardless of how popular it is, it IS a spinoff, just like Nanoha is technically a spin-off of ToRaHa.

[Deathhappens]

Like how Triangle Heart is Nanoha's spin-off?

Ok, now I hate making that comparison.

^ I think to call that Presents "underwhelming" would be the understatement of the century.

Type-Moon return to eroge, when?

I guess BanNam got sick of all the memes of people treating the Tenkaichi 4 mod as an official product and just decided to make their own with blackjack and hookers.

Cuz damn, this came out of left field HARD...but I ain't complaining.

Oh it's Waver?

[LegalLoliLover]

Yep.

Huh. You'd think a 3 Kingdoms game would go with Lu Bu, Cao Cao, or one of the other heavies. Not the thinky guy.

[Deathhappens]

Is that ya boi kongming?

[LegalLoliLover]

Huh. You'd think a 3 Kingdoms game would go with Lu Bu, Cao Cao, or one of the other heavies. Not the thinky guy.

Well, the story ends with Kongming joining Liu Bei, and that "final boss battle" is more of a sparring match. The last deathmatch in the game is vs. Yu Ji (or Gan Ji), depending on if you're reading 于 or 干

Oh, wow, apart from style names, the English dub of Wo Long even uses Cao Cao's childhood name of Aman, when he is referred to by Yuan Shao, given that they were childhood friends.
