Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[AmADo VII]

in the CM Goredolf called Yu as True Ancestor but she's introduced as 仙界羽人.

so what's the translation for 仙界羽人?

LB3 refers to her as True Ancestor so it's not new. Only from her profile that we knew she is not True Ancestor but an Elemental. 仙界羽人 (Winged being from the realm of Xians) is also name of her 2nd skill, TM's term referring to the prototype of the xians in early days of Taoism - the winged beings depicted in early form of xian worship who are more ancient and different from xians in later Taoism. TM probably used it specifically to differentiate her (a type of Elemental born from the inner sea who are recognized as a xian in Taoism faith) from those (humans, gods, monsters...etc) who became Xians through Taoist cultivation.

NA's official translation is Taoist Winged Sage. The fan translations circulating the fandom have been Feathered Person of the Immortal Realm, Feathered Being of the Xian Realm, or Yuren Xian.

Sounds a lot like Tengu. Are they connected?

[Reign]

I know Gordy is young but I'd have probably made him sound just a tiny bit gruffer.

[Rafflesiac]

I am surprised by Goredolf's voice. I think I'd have to see his lips moving to accept it fully.

Early feather xians are viewed more like a mythical race similar to elves, dwarves and...well...fairies in the west. They have animal features, some look really monstrous, but in general they are viewed as manifestation of natural forces (hence Elementals in Nasuverse, good job Nasu). They later gain more roles similar to angels (and later went through image changing to make them look better too, they now have more humanoid bodies with wings). Then later on when Buddhism arrived and heavily influenced the development of Taoism that we knew today, people shift from nature worship and awe towards those beings (who are believed to be immortal) to trying to learn the way to become like them (influenced from Buddhism way of anyone can attain Buddhahood). The monstrous imagery also became forgotten, replaced by divine and graceful humanoid forms (pretty much referenced by Yu Meiren taking human form and forgot her original purpose) and became the Xians we know today.

So they are a mix of a bunch of things later on, but they started from ancient Chinese paganism roots. And they are mentioned in the Sanhaijing along with a lot of beings later imported to Japan. So who knows if Nasu can use that and connect them to tengu.

[asterism42]

Tengu were divine dogs or smth originally I think, in their Chinese roots?

and then in Japan they became buddhist monks who failed to become enlightened due to pride and so turned into monsters instead

and some other stuff probably

but if some obscure scholar of folklore wrote a book about them being the same whilst mainly pulling stuff out of their ass, it'll probably show up in fate somewhere

Chinese version

[Sesto]

i failed twice on the grail front from yesterday i am bad guys

[Trubo]

The Melt one? Should be easier than Lip's because no stacking Crit buffs, yeah? Course, Kama kind of trivializes it.

[Sesto]

[Rafflesiac]

put volumen on your assassin and go from there

[rxrx]

I hate gender inequality, so when will we be given CE that reduces damage taken from female servants?

[Rafflesiac]

Right after we get a CE that boosts damage (exclusively) against women!

[Tepanyakigo]

As much as I'd love your idea... doesnt it spell trouble? What do you think will happen if an SJW plays FGO and says "OH NO THIS IS SO MISOGYNISTIC! CANCEL THIS SH*T!"... then FGO gets cancelled...

Wait... FGO gets cancelled is probably not a bad thing?

[Sesto]

i thought about making a joke about how nothing could possibly reduce the damage woman can inflict but that sounded very incel so instead i'm writing about how i thought about the joke instead. women are nice people

[Rafflesiac]

fgo survived jack surely it can survive yet another shinji ce

[Deathhappens]

Shinji is on three CE's too many already. Give this one to Kariya.

[Aozaki-desu]

It should be Kirei
