Wow, just read the posts, and I can see that Harpe is actually a sword.
Once again, I am enlightened. I humbly thank you, Beast's Lair.
Now, on topic...
Is it just me or is Assassin reminding me of Unohana Retsu/Yachiru from Bleach?
Or is it because of her braids? O.O
Also, can anyone describe to me in a PM what she is wearing? The one that I am talking about is in my sig right now.
That will be much appreciated, and I will thank all of you in advance for it.

Not dealing with it...
Why even try?

That's too bad, i really liked the "psychotic child trying to get into her mommy's womb again" idea for Jack.
Well, back to topic, i remember reading that the master of assassin was able to change bodies to save his life, and that the real body was actually a girl, couldn't she be the one talking in the pv?
Spoiler:
As long as mysterious protagonist A doesn't use the seals to summon Servants we've already seen, I'll be happy. But since it is unlikely that anybody would make a whole new Servant for five minutes of use, I fully expect to see existing Servants show up. Because it's not bad enough with Gil already there or anything.
I'm curious about whether Caster is still Alex Dumas. The crafting of NPs for the force was an interesting angle, but if it's still him then I'm sad he didn't end up as the wise but sassy black grandfather who wants to enjoy his old age again.

Jester is far and away who I'm most interested in here. The way his body reshapes itself sounds like how souls reform the body to theor own image, but that seems unlikely despite the similar mechanism because then it'd actually be six individuals in the same body. I'm hoping he's actually doing some weird "soul suppression" shit where he allows the soul image to emerge while restraining the actual soul's ability to act individually or something.
Or something entirely different but equally esotoric. I just want to see more examples of soul manipulation and the exploration of spirit and soul and whatnot within the Nasuverse.
Don't forget he's a Dead Aposte too. The Six-Hearted Revolver may be a method to deal with his vampiric body's degeneration.
Yep, that's true. I'm just hopeful that we get some more ideas on the less touched-upon mechanics of Nasu's world.
I can't pretend I'm not excited to see Flat being balls-out amazing as a cloud cuckoolander savant though. The more we actually learn about magecraft and the Association, the happier I will be as well.
I'm not going to judge No Name Assassin as yet, but I did like her original design better. I hope we see it again at some point. And I hope we get to see all 18 Zabaniya techniques, thiugh it'll ruin all the great Hassan sheets I've seen written up by fans, i'm sure.
I hope that Caster isn't Alexander Dumas, I always found that immensely disappointing really. If you want to go with "he makes magical artifacts" there are more interesting options out there still. Kind of surprised this is getting a release now too, lots of Fate stuff announced.
Sure, but I found the similarity to the soul reshaping the body to match its image interesting. Which is why I hope we get to delve into it a little.
It doesn't really matter how it's worded, what it was used for could be done by other figures presumably. Which was to give the police station weapons. As near as I know that was the only real thing Caster did.
I dunno, I just find the idea of sublimating brand new Noble Phantasms of quality equal to or greater than the originals to be a lot more interesting than most other people I could think of who could "make NP grade weaponry" for the police force.
Plus you have the whole clash with Gil's entire deal, if he is actually writing into existence NPs that are outright better than the ones he's replicating.
I just don't really find him interesting. I don't mind Casters being in a support role, it works out well. Just the figure doesn't interest me any. It'd be nice to see a little more ancient Casters than more modern writers. Even if Shakespeare isn't really "modern", but still.
That can't sound possible.
Yay! Another Faker for Gil to fight, only that what he will face this time is a Master, and the weapons are made by a Caster.
Also, I can't really describe No Name Assassin's outfit well. Can someone else describe for me the awesomeness that is Assassin's outfit? I will be really thankful for that one.
