Things that annoy you in TM

[Twelveseal]

Well, I mean, he gave enough of a damn about it as a labor of love to sell his stash for the first one. It's just that something happened since...

[Byegod]

It's called gacha money/fate money.

[pinetree]

Just because he cares more about Fate nowadays, doesn't mean he doesn't care about his other projects.
If I had 5 ongoing projects and cared about all 5, I'd be way more passionate about the one that is massively popular and financially successful.

Seems like he's getting tired though, considering he's leaving FGO alone (or at least intends to, lol) after the Lostbelts.

[Ratman]

Was it like that? The way I've been told the story, the sentiment was more like "there's not much point to making a sequel to Tsukihime".

To comment on this, the Dark Six as presented back then is hardly a sequel to Tsukihime. 50% of the cast is not present, and main characters are Dante from DMC and apparently Lorelei, who are new. It seemed obvious that while Ciel was probably going to have a larger role, Shiki would just be that one NPC you really don't want to meet. Whatever it was about, it wasn't a continuation of Tsukihime's premise of any sort, but its own thing instead.

Man Lorelei was suppose to be a heroine? That's kinda sad because now she's just random footnote lore.

[Ratman]

I'm reasonably certain she was supposed to be a protagonist, giving at minimum as many protagonist wibes as Rin.

We do know that The Dark Six was supposed to have two protagonists, one of which was Enhance. We can assume the other was either Lorelei, or Shiki, or somebody else, but I'd like to imagine Shiki wasn't it.

[Laserman]

Look at the difference between Tsuki's fight choreography & FSN, then FSN & Mahoyo, and how long it took between each one, and how long Tsuki Re's taken to be made. It'd be great if Nasu wrote more in the way of novels, in which case we might get a new work every year or two, but at most we'll get maybe one more VN work with his style of cool as shit fight scenes.

I just want to read actual fights in Fate/Grand Order. You have all these Servants and other things they're not doing that, and I enjoy the story less because of it.

[You]

best bet are the mangas

I'm pretty sure Shiki was the other protagonist, since he has a rival character in Strout. And Lorelei already got the main heroine title, shared with Altrouge.

If they go in narrating every fight, then the gameplay will truly become pointless.

[eddyak]

The gameplay's already shit though. That isn't a huge downside.

[Sandstorm77]

No gameplay -> no character required -> no gacha -> no money -> no fgo

Say what you will about the gameplay, of any gacha game really, but it is still one of the minimum requirements for the business model to function.

[CEO Darkness]

At least crappy gameplay can give you an easy sense of accomplishment(false).

[Byegod]

If i want bad gameplay Ill just play fate/extra.

God that game is carried by its characters super hard.

[Twelveseal]

No kidding. Even so, I still get bored with it. Literally never bothered to finish a route.

Took me like 5 tries to get through a route with fucking CHEATS

[Twelveseal]

Lol. It's not hard, from my experience (I've used both Nero and Tamamo), but I usually just completely lose interest in around the time you get to fighting the Waifu you didn't choose. It's one thing to have repetitive gameplay if it's involved, challenging, and rewarding (like Monster Hunter or Diablo, for example). It's another matter entirely if it's repetitive, simplistic, and is based around predictable patterns.

Honestly, EXTRA would likely have been better served as a hybrid VN/Fighting Game like Melty, but with some old, side-scrolling beat-em-up elements.

Maybe something like Guilty Gear Isuka and Judgment.

[Mattias]

A Fate Beat Em Up could be pretty good actually. Since the moveset isn't as in-depth as a fighting game so you cram more FGO servants in there so you can nab everyone who wants to play as their favourites. Make it like River City Girls, with a huge interconnected map, then pull a Subspace Emmisary and have new characters in out of the way or hidden rooms, which you need to beat to unlock them.

[Twelveseal]

Dude, just imagine the endless FLC for that...

But yeah, I think it'd be pretty fun. Get some of that old-school revival, Dragon's Crown feel.

Actually, that'd make for an interesting take on FGO...

[SpoonyViking]

>old-school revival
>Dragon's Crown instead of Tower of Doom / Shadows Over Mystara

I am disappointed in you, Twelve. :-P
