Plus-Period just has a lot of content. Tons of dictionary entries, character profiles and even short stories.

A lot of the hints towards the Tsukihime 2 content exists in there. For those whose grandest dreams are an expansion of the Tsukihime mythos, it represents the beginning of their dream.

And im guessing not a lot of 'vague' like say entries on what imaginary element is.

Honestly, im trying to figure out how to phrase this, but similar to the vague mat stuff, how much of the setting worldbuilding actually '"matters" so to speak, like how much could be changed as its just window dressing that can be easily recontextualized vs stuff that does matter.

Of course this also depends on HOW you rejig it, for example i think a lot of hte core conceits could be rejigged fairly easily enough, but some of this is because I MYSELF dont see them as necassary vs what others may think.

So I'd like to revisit a post of mine:

I remembered now. It's Crisis on Two Earths. Of course, there are other fictions that already depicted concept of multiverse, but the way villain Owlman described it reminds me of Nasuverse's take by a lot. Well, it should've been the other way around since it predates Extella.

That's the secret of the universe, you know. Billions of people, making billions of choices, creating infinite Earths. Some so similar to each other that you could spend a lifetime searching for any distinction. Others so radically different, they defy comprehension.

Nothing really, just wanted to get it off my chest. This also makes me wonder if there'll ever be an antagonist in Nasuverse that shares Owlman's goal.

Good film, of course the story takes the opposite end whereas i would accept some philosophical diatribe from nasu

Loki also has a similar concept but it takes the opposite angle and goes 'your literally just removing free will', which is true

My unpopular opinion: Heracles should have Been the true king of warriors. Heracles dates all the way back to Neolithic shamanistic rituals of crossing into the underworld. Heracles influence stretches all the way from Rome to japan. Heracles is arguably the archetypal monster hunter. The most noteworthy thing Sigurd did is kill fafnir

I'm all in favor of Herc wank. Still a bit disappointed he didn't have EX Strength.

**NINE-lives** · November 24th, 2021, 12:00 PM

Grand saber Heracles with EX ranked strength and endurance when?

**NMR-3** · November 24th, 2021, 12:21 PM

you know, if they do ever do end up doing a sane Herc I'd rather it focus on his actual heroism rather than just his powerlevels

**NINE-lives** · November 24th, 2021, 12:25 PM

I actually imagine Heracles having a shirou like mentality of “i need to help and protect everyone” and suffering ptsd/survivors guilt due to killing his family.

**Byegod** · November 24th, 2021, 02:06 PM

I dont hate alcides, in fact I like him for at least giving us a sight of non berserk herc and more than god hand as a NP

Also i like strange fake and i think a lot of complainers are stupid when most of what is there are just extensions/extremes of a framework nasu himself made years ago.

I've said it more than once, for as strong as he is in myth, his strength rarely ends up being the focus, a lot of his major feats were brains + brawn, definitely not just brawn.
