Fate/Grand Order Story and Lore (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[ballinamon]

I honestly hope silly mage pride doesn't actually reach these levels of ridiculousness.

How do you feel if everything of FGO until now was a convoluted way of reaching the root.

[Lily Emilio]

At least on the surface, it doesn't seem so confusing: Brahma is the concrete being, the creator deity who is part of a trinity with Shiva and Vishnu; Brahman is the abstract concept which represents transcedence, eternity and so on. My earlier confusion is because the texts I had read presented Brahma and Brahman as if they were one and the same thing, placing Brahma above other gods as a sort of "overdeity" comparable to the Abrahamic God.

Different branch of Hinduism place different gods as the same thing as Brahman. Some put Shiva, some put Brahma (very rarely if not any at all cuz he does not have a huge fanbase), some put Vishnu...etc. So if you ask people of different branches who is "God", the Shaivites will say it's Shiva, the Vaishnavites will tell you it's Vishnu. It's like Protestants vs Catholics arguing about certain differences in their views.

Wait a second, if Quirinus gets to be Grand Lancer because "my name is Spear"

Can we get Shirou as Grand Saber because "I am swords"?

Brahma is ther Ringo Starr of the Trimurti.

at this rate Grand is just a job given by CF, and Emiya is Alaya's favorite chore boy.

The sad part is that there's myths/stories about why Brahma isn't as widely worshipped as Vishnu and Shiva.

Wow let me have some hope please.

[Lily Emilio]

Brahma being unpopular is pretty similar to how Tsukuyomi was completely overshadowed by SusanoO and Amaterasu.

[AmADo VII]

Wow let me have some hope please.

I mean being Grand is not because they are strong, but they have specific trait/ability/power to counter certain Beasts.

well Grands we've see so far were all strong even as regular servant but who knows.

[fire_mountain_30]

Wow let me have some hope please.

the CCP would like to inform you that that is not allowed

No. It's because they are the strongest of their respective class of their era.

[AmADo VII]

so Shirou actually has a chance?

THERE WAS A BOOK?!

[Comun]

That's a sticker album, actually.

[pinetree]

Oh my god, I think my mom had one of those lmao

[SpoonyViking]

I did not think it was possible, but that makes it worse.

[Cylascream]

it's up to speculations since we (still) don't surely know how they work

[fumei]

You don't know how stickers work?

[Zork Knight]

I think they're talking about Grands, not stickers

[fumei]
