shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
Whore of Babylon/Mother Harlot/MYSTERY is more like Gluttony than Lust
Yeah, if you also check fragments, Sakurai went harder on the gluttony aspect rather than lust when describing them
Sakurai is often not a fan of being subtle.
I can respect the lady, sometimes subtlety is for cowards
While I agree an exclusive Beast would be shit, you have to be feeling persecuted in order to think they're doing this to "solely and openly spite the filthy gaijin". Arcade was so not doing so good recently due to obvious reasons and they wanted to give it a push thus exclusives. It's bad that Arcade isn't available outside Japan but Arcade is bad in other areas that even if Arcade was available, it would still be inaccessible for many. On top of the gacha, you have to pay for every second you spend in the game that has grinding and raids. Would you pay the price to go though the singularities?

I’m joking around—I’m saying that they would literally publicly state “we’re putting her in Arcade but not in Mobile to keep her off the global server.” I sincerely doubt it would happen, but it would be really funny if it did
I remember hearing how the seven main Fate series, through their main villain and hero (unless they were a player stand in), were supposed to represent the seven deadly sins. Is there faith in that theory here?
What are we even counting as "the seven main Fate series"? stay Night+Zero, Fake, Proto+Frags, Apocrypha, Extra+CCC, Requiem and GO?
Yeah basically, with HA added to the first group. It was rather incomplete given how some of the series haven't finished yet, but the list went something like:
SN/Z/HA - Wrath - Angra's a living curse, and Shirou and Kiritsugu have a strong theme of personal justice, with justice and wrath being heavily linked.
Apoc - Greed - Amakusa's the Avatar of Greed in Prison Tower event, and Seig has a 'greedy dragon' inside him as the story constantly wants to point out. Also Siegfried's choice can be seen as an act of greed.
Extra+CCC - Lust - Kiara is basically lust incarnate and Buddha is positioned as her opposite. The two extreme ends of the scale.
Proto - Gluttony like you listed. Can't recall what linked Arthur to it, but I suppose he gave up on a worldly desire in the end.
Requiem - Sloth - the world has stagnated, and Voyager is the fulfilment of the wish of the Goddess of Catalhoyuk with humanity showing they've matured enough to leave home. FGO Erice gives strong Tiamat vibes, who wanted to regress the world back to an infant state.
FGO was speculated to be Envy given our mascot feeds off of envy, Goetia has a stare that can leave you trapped in a world where you relive your past mistakes and keep getting reminded of your flaws, and Olga is envious of everyone, wanting to outshine them. And the Lostbelts are supposed to be humanity's 'losers' fighting back, some form of revenge from those that are jealous we won.
And I don't really know if anyone knows who the hero or villain in FSF is supposed to be yet.
The series weren't planned as a bundle nor by the same person, so all of that is entirely coincidental, but it's fascinating see how well it all fits. Even FsF, which is only assigned to Pride by rule of elimination has potential to fit, as the common thread between its co-protagonists Ayaka and Sigma is that they both start with less than zero self-esteem and grow to healthily value themselves throughout their character arcs.
Yeah, but I suppose it depends on what the original version of Prototype was like. The reworked version we're getting through Fragments likely retcons a bit, so I have to wonder if Beast 666 was supposed to be so gluttonous. Apoc doesn't seem like a coincidence though, or at least Nasu seemed to want a strong theme of greed at least. Whether or not this was to make a set I don't know.
On a side note, FGO and related stuff being envy would be incredibly appropriate given how Arcade is turning out.
If we're going with Pride for SF, the hubris of the US government seems like the big thing
Might be too cynical but my first thought seeing this was "I hope this doesn't mean they're skipping the rerun on mobile".
Gray's model looks kind of cheap compared to everyone else, is it just me?
It’s the unmoving cape, I believe.
Ereshkigal has the same issue
What is up with her shoulders? Isn't her cape supposed to cover them?
When arcade was new, I found all the models to be good but as time went on, I found more and more models to look janky. This is just feelings based on imperfect memories though and I suspect that if I looked at models again in chronological order, I wouldn't be able to resee that trend.
