Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Nanaya]

It is a shared universe after all. It's not like any new canon that is added to Mages or other general world factors in Fate isn't generally also canon to Tsukiworlds. You could say this is not exactly the same, but FGO is where Nasu has done stuff where normally other sttings wouldn't allow it, so who knows.

In regards to the Arc thing, you're basically saying is that Archetype is a new title that was specifically created for her role on Earth rather than being a normal Type.

There is sharing but also specifics otherwise the split would be meaningless. More importantly though is relevance and how material is disseminated which I think matters to them considering they put the breaks on the exploration of Church content. Anyway I hate to harp on this forever but I just believe they need to exercise caution since I think we're touching upon core concepts for Tsuki's backstory and this isn't the ideal place for delivery. It's not like they're lacking in loose threads they need to set up/tie up heading towards the end of Part 2 either. And for what it is worth, unless Nasu lied again, none of the other characters are supposed to be present in part 2 to begin with. Though I guess you had an unemployed mage from across space-time make a cameo... Nasu...

For point 2: We can't say anything definitive about her name. I wouldn't be surprised if she's unique but first you have to ask if all the others act as Brains as well.

I'll fully admit that i find the split to be pointless as i don't think there isn't a way a single type of world can't hold the several themes Nasu has done as they all link back to each other somehow. That said, i totally understand your argument and do think that anyhing that they do touch about Tsuki won't be super direct to whatever Nasu is doing with the new timeline and that Nero cameo proves it, because unless it's a sign of bigger things to come, it just looks like a wink wink type affair.

Arc thing again, if you tell me Types also work as the brain (Fair thing to assume as they ARE the representation of the planet), then i guess Arch is somewhat of transitional stage before being a Type? Hell, you could say it's still Earth Exclusive.

[Pendant]

Would you mind if i ask the specific on how do i do that?

For a different game but the principle is exactly the same. You want to follow the first method.

The Church is kind of irrelevant in Fate worlds when you think about it, the Burial Agency might not even exist. So there is not a whole lot to explore. And yeah, I agree with you there, which is why I want ORT to be kept out of this whole stuff. It's not a matter of my favorite character jobbing or something. This is just not the right place to explore ORT as a character and a concept.

Arc thing again, if you tell me Types also work as the barin (Fair thing to assume as they ARE the representation of the planet), then i guess Arch is somewhat of transitional stage before being a Type? Hell, you could say it's still Earth Exclusive.

It's debatable. The way Types are described in Notes makes it very questionable to think they have something such as a brain and are able to "think" for their planet. It seems like a planet being sapient in Nasuverse at all is something abnormal as far as planets are concerned. Likely not a transitional stage, just a different category. It's stated you can potentially have multiple beings that can operate as the Brain of the Planet after all. But only in theory, because the qualifications seems to be very very special and difficult to fullfil.

[Dartz]

There is also the stuff with Velber to consider. Velber only seems to attack planets with intelligent life in them. But there doesn't seem to be much evidence it atacked any other planet in the solar system.
If there is intelligent life somewhere, it likely exists outside the Milky Way when you thinking about it.
It's possible Cerebral Corpus is a concept that's limited to only Earth and the Moon.

Isn't VV mildly contemptuous of the other Types for not having a sense of self?

Kinda makes you wonder what makes Brunestud different, since he seems to be, y'know, sapient.

[Nanaya]

Snip

I guess it's down to Humanity/Gaia being Weak/Stronk, its bleed out affecting other areas and Nasu's view on the type of stories/themes he wants each to represent.

I don't think Arc is changing her name to Type:Earth in the future or that Archetype is indicative of being half-baked. Earth's situation isn't normal since Type-Moon is hardcore grooming Gaia-chan. And that's represented in Arc's link to both. You have the planet's Brain also being derived from the Moon as CM's possible successor. This whole thing with the sisters is probably tied to CM's desire to take the planet.

It was mentioned how they didn't possess a will of their own. It seemed like they didn't even use their minds or have the concept of knowledge until interacting with earth. Just carrying out the orders of their planet.

I like how people are still in denial on whether or not Tsuki and Fate timeline crossover are possible when Melty Blood Back Alley Alliance Nightmare exists

[Nanaya]

Did anyone say that? If MBTL, FSF and MBBAAN are examples of the rare intersection Nasu mentioned then not much to worry about given how safe they've played it.

[Kamera]

In the case of MBBAAN, it's anything but playing safe lol. It was released shortly after FGO came out, and the major plot points it implies only became apparent in FGO Part 2, with Olga being a Beast and Sion hanging with Chaldea.

In many ways, the boundaries between the Fate and Tsuki worlds are at the same time being blurred out with FGO and becoming more distant with the Remake. Emphasis here on the fact that in FGO's case, the distinction are especially irrelevant because the scale of the narrative is transcendental, and with the example of the Lostbelts, could have more radical timeline divergence than the Tsukihime and Fate world split.

[Nanaya]

MB Sion foreshadowing(?) an au Sion that may as well be a different character and is basically a footnote + a Mini-Olga(With powers) repeating a cryptic remark about the future that implies she's not entirely irrelevant. I consider that pretty safe. We still don't really understand that character to this day. I appreciate the manga, especially Lev and that its basically its own little story and study on the overarching TM theme of possibilities.

You could just drum up any reason to have characters from another universe interact. No one said otherwise and that's how you get collabs. I'm just not seeing them try and make any thorough link.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

It was mentioned how they didn't possess a will of their own. It seemed like they didn't even use their minds or have the concept of knowledge until interacting with earth. Just carrying out the orders of their planet.

So the Ultimate Ones are just extensions of their respective planet's will. Curious as to what defines a planet as an entity. Is it the planet itself, as in the star or the dominant species' collective unconscious that resides in it. That could explain how earth doesn't seem to have a definite UO of its own due to the authority split.

[Dartz]

Well if you think about it Arc is already a joint product between humanity and the planet, or at least greatly inspired by the former. It was stated the brain of the planet manifesting in a human body is abnormal in itself.
I would imagine a hypothetical Type Earth in a world where humanity doesn't exist could be something like Titan Gaia from God of Wars. Or even something like Tiamat could also apply but she doesn't quite fit the bill it seems.
The Types from Notes have some characteristics that mirror their planet just in their physical apperance. Type Venus's flesh for example is the surface of Venus.

[Trubo]

Does it? I just clicked the one that didn't require their app like usual and it downloaded like usual. Though I was half-asleep at the time.

I generally download it on my pc, and I know I'm not using a 32-bit OS. I'm just going to use the atlas discord to download it from now on though, maybe get around to doing the playstore thing to do paid gacha next anniversary.

Maybe it ties to the reason why the Earth couldn't create a Type on its own originally. One of the speculations I've seen is that it was because the Moon is an inseparable part of the Earth due to the hypothetical event of the ancient hypothetical planet Theia coming from outside the solar system, clashing with the primordial Earth and caused a huge chunk of it to become the Moon, most of Earth's water came from Theia and the core of it being fused with Earth's core which was the reason Earth's core is larger than expect for something of its size. That is why a Type-Moon can also take control of Earth (Moon Cell in Extraverse is equivalence to Type-Moon once it took administrative rights over Earth, and Crimson Moon planning to do that) and Earth's Ultimate One needs to be based on the Moon's Ultimate One, the "blood sisters" relationship.

ORT is also an interesting case because now that we new it "arrived from the Oort Cloud" (Rasputin did not say it is the Oort Cloud's Ultimate One, just that it came from there) which isn't even a planet but a collective of space debris, the true origin of it might be from beyond the solar system even.

[manafusion]

I HAVENT EVEN STARTED WAAAAAAAH

i'm so busy drawing my commission orders that these last 2 weeks i just logged in, buy blue apples, then closes app TT.TT

Yeah, big oof. I respect the work situation because it's what brings in money but it sucks that we're now on an event that locks you out of the story. Hopefully, the event rolls around next year and you get to read it then.

[Lily Emilio]

Didn't they say they will not rerun events often anymore.

[manafusion]

Didn't they say they will not rerun events often anymore.

Well, yes. But we were also packed with other stuffs like Road to 7 taking up a decent amount of weeks for this year. So, I'm really hoping that events with welfare gets a rerun while events without one don't.

Worst case, people who didn't get to see the story have to wait for it to enter the Main Interlude. Which... is very slow to happen. We did get 2 this year though, that's a big plus. The two that got added are also sorta connected to the main story so not really a good indicator.

I see. That's a pretty interesting theory. Maybe Nasu is taking elements from that hypothesis. It does seem like it could explain a few things.
