[Twelveseal]

So, what would you change now (or in the recent past) or in regards to TM's future plans if you took them over today or had done so in the near past?

Personally, i would have opted for a more "quality over quantity" approach to the number of FGO servants, place a bigger emphasis on the creation of brand new, original, non-historic characters, use more of the money to create LNs and story driven games for console and a few other things.

So, this is a repost, buuuuut:

Hmmm... not too much of a necro, I should think.

So, obligatory ones first:

• Tsukihime Remake. Sacchin route plz. Finally, plz. Just let the meme die. And yes, that means H.Tsuki 2, because this is a meme in its own right. Dun care if it's got H or not, but this VN needs to be a thing.
• Fire Girl, because we need new shit. There's only so much Saberface I can take before I OD, and I'm getting dangerously close to it.
• Mahoyo. All of it. And I mean this more generally as well, but actually do some official translations. GO does well enough globally that T-M should really start throwing bones to their international audiences and get their other content out in languages besides JP.
• Something something DDD. Ah, volume 3. Or more.
• Notes, because it needs love and has potential for awesome.
• Basically, everything that's already out there needs to be continued. All of the junk that's been stuck in the Soondere category needs to become Nowdere.

Now, as for some new things...

• An annual doujin contest, with the winner (and maybe the runner up) ending up as a possible property for T-M to produce. Might be H, might be not, might have more than one category. Doesn't have to be canon, and some of it would probably be best to not be such, but this would give the company a potentially wider range of IPs to work with. And maybe lighten the load on the staff (or whatever it is that's been keeping the above stuff in limbo forever). Needless to say this is kind of a crazy idea, but having them operate a bit more like a publishing house in this regard might help them out a bit. We're still gorging on Fate content, but there's eventually going to be a saturation of Grail War-themed works out there. Also goes without saying that this should be done internationally, meaning take submissions from around the world rather than doing a bunch of these.
• Something Sci-fi. Notes, Tsuki no Sango, and EXTRA brush the genre, but they're also firmly fantasy, and more the latter. Taking things in a very different direction could be refreshing. Maybe a space opera?
• An actual horror story in the mainline Nasuverse where the MC is literally just an ordinary person. No special powers, no extraordinary potential. Just stuck having to try to survive the kind of nightmare fuel that is the Nasuverse when you have no supernatural chops. Maybe you could lighten it up a bit, sure, let the hero get some kind of item that saves their bacon or lets them fight back, but really, I kind of want something that gives us a real perspective on how normal people in the setting react to the craziness of a setting with man-eating demons and hybrids, psychotic espers, magi that think nothing of experimenting on people, and vampire outbreaks that wipe out the populations of entire islands. Maybe have them be somebody who happens to live in a town that Roa reincarnated into or something, and they're trying to survive and save their loved ones and themselves without having any real power, even as outside forces show up to murder everyone who might have seen anything a la Kerry's childhood.
• I like the Servant Universe idea Irun suggested, though I agree that MHXA dying would be brutal. Still, sacrifices for good stuff.I also like the idea of exploring the Reverse, but I have my own personal ideas on that and I don't want to blow them right now since I might actually do something with them at some point.
• Nasuverse Tabletop. There's a market for it, certainly. Definitely within JP, but also likely abroad to at least some degree. The whole idea of Fate is basically just that ageless nerd debate: "Who would win in a fight?" Actually having something that people could play, rules and mechanics for different styles of play, stat blocks for canon characters (and all the powerlevel questionsthatwould answer), and actual explanations on how some of this is supposed to work would be golden. Not even counting what it'd do to the RP board here.
• New Melty Blood, picking up a few new characters and a new VN style plot. Or maybe a reissue and upgrade of the old stuff ReAct with an expansion and extension of the plot. Basically, combine the storyline, throw in some new characters (Mahoyo and KnK, or even some Masters from FSN), make a more comprehensive game. I personally really want to see Capslock-kun in Melty. And maybe Edmond Dantes as a secret boss for a Roa route XD.
• Individual works that emphasize the main factions within the core Nasuverse; DHO, Church, Mage's Association. Not necessarily in that order, but the Association has Melloi. Though, that said, a post-UBW Rin & Shirou series, or VN for that matter, would be good. Including if it was post Good End, which makes things even crazier and lets us see Saber in modern England. Not to mention more Luvia~ Maybe for the Church they could do something that focuses on Riesbyfe, but I feel like we might be better off with an original cast for that. And for the DHO, that end of the Bakufu idea sounds interesting, too.An anthology series might be nice to see, especially as an anime, along the lines of the Ten Nights of Dream. Not porn, but rather, individual stories plucked from the multiverse that could give us glimpses of the setting and lots of speculation and ideas to play with. Maybe it's something Zelretch and Cuabac are doing for shits and giggles, or maybe it's part of Zel's lessons to his students Rin, Luvia, etc...GO x Tsuki. April Fool's just made me want.An Isekai, you say? Maybe some weird AU timeline where the Velber's weren't a thing and the AoG never ended, and some schmuck gets reincarnated there because of a botched summoning... Hmmm... Ideas forming.That aforementioned normal grail war sounds p cool. Maybe do something in the Apocryverse where it's a replica grail and the MC is the master of an irregular Assassin. Or maybe it's a smaller cast and there's no one set MC, but multiple stories wound up and twisted by the war and their desires.
• A weird idea, but a post-UBW two-season anime focusing on, of all people, Shinji. His exposure to the grail mud and having Illya's heart attached have left him with some weird side-effects that are becoming more apparent with time. Set after he's left Fuyuki for college, it deals with him being confronted by his past misdeeds and the bizarre symptoms first manifesting from his ordeal, trying to reconcile with those he's wronged, and tryingnotto become a guinea pig for local magi in the school (or die from whatever's happening to him). Considering Shirou says he became a better person afterwards, I'd actually like to see the process in action and the final result.
• A Fate MMO sounds nice, but I'd dump the Master/Servant pair. The power level disparity there is just too high for a WoW or Tera free-roaming model. Anyting that could contend with a Servant seriously should oneshot a Master, making the difficulty extreme. Plus, you'd be controlling both chars, which would get confusing. Instead, go full Ainsworth and Class Card the hell out of it. Class change becomes possible, as does swapping Heroic Spirits, with the ability to level individual Saint Graphs and Classes, as well as your baseline Master. If it were me behind it, I'd say dump the core setting in the Everdream, but since I'm not, the Reverse of the World would be fine, too. Iz all about modern people with Servant powers dicking around with supernatural shit because Magi. This model would open it up for a lot of updates that could make it sticky, since you can always add new Classes and Saint Graphs. You can even have a Monster Hunter-like option to get escorts for undersized parties that you can slap Cards and Saint Graphs on, that way you can drag around your favorite Waifu or Husbando when you solo, keeping the Pokémon-esque gotta catch 'em all element. I'd actually considered something like this for an RP once, but it'd be really complicated to run. The events of it are referenced in one of my fics; the backstory to one of the Sabers dealt with something like this. I can't help imagining what Regalia would have been like if it had used this model.
• A regular Fate RPG would be nice, too, but it'd probably have to be something akin to some of the time travel ideas described above. Or maybe that Isekai thing.
• Edited in because I didn't think of it at first, but the abandoned routes of FSN bundled as a separate game. Caster, Shinji, Illya, Mash (or whoever proto-Shielder was), and the fabled Taiga route that got rejected out of hand. I want to see what those would have been.

Without reading over my old suggestions to see what I've already said, I'd like to do some redesigns in FGO's mechanics to make the gameplay less tedious and more enjoyable and use an AU of it as a vehicle to produce a general-purpose Nasuverse tabletop rpg system; something that could be used across different eras in the multiverse's timelines and to represent different IPs. Fate, Tsukihime, DDD, Case Files, Notes, EXTRA, Mahoyo, KnK, Age of the Gods, Age of Faeries, Age of Man, Lostbelts, Singularities, etc...

Its structure is excellent for showcasing all of the weird things the Nasuverse can do.

I would hire professionals to translate all of Type-Moon's works into English, with priority given to those with no or unfinished translations.
I would also re-release everything that's out of print.

[Byegod]

Translate as others have said.

Get a editor for nasu who takes none of his shit, get a shounen jump editor if we really want to be harsh.

Get a actual art director who's competent, I wouldnt retcon all of FGO but I'd probably remove things I find stupid.

Force nasu to give up all his old notes and info he obviously has squirrelled away as he probably will take 70% of that to his grave, then publish that for the big bucks.

Force nasu to actually say what he has abandoned or what points in earlier works are non-canon, Get nasu a actual philosophy course so he doesnt sound like a idiot.

Let's not give Takeuchi too much of a pass either, since Ushiwakamaru's design is his fault.

That was presumably under 'Get a competent art director'

[pinetree]

I don't think this thought exercise works if you just hate TM and its main writer.

more love-hate/Tsundere , He can make brilliant ideas and utterly infuriating ones.

I mean I at least didnt suggest we should murder Takeuchi like Leftovers.

Like nasu hit gold with the concept of servants, servant sheets as well, nasu is able to get a good emotional reactions from me like in saber/shirou thing, the music in that scene and the writing.

But then he does timeculling which still annoys me to this day

[Twelveseal]

Honestly, I'm slowly warming to the derp that is FGO; all I have to do is remind myself it's just one slice of a giant-ass multiverse that essentially is all equally canon. And apparently includes things I'd just consider fanfiction normally.

Sort of a "Nothing is real, everything is permitted," sort of mentality.
The problems are the quality of work produced, the lack of diversity in the IPs, and the speed at which new products are releasing. Though, again, I've had a huge list of things I'd like to do were I in control of this ship...

[aldeayeah]

As a long time TM fan, that sounds super reasonable.

[Namelesss]

Force Nasu to tell the fans in his own words, why Tsukihime remake has been missing for the past 16 years but more like 8 years since that was like the last official news coming from them. The Tsukihime remake PV was the last official legit news from them. So I don't get why after all these years they couldn't update the fans about a REAL update on tsukihime remake.

[CEO Darkness]

Sell it to Disney.

[Twelveseal]

Damn. My fiance might watch it, then.

[OverMaster]

I'd bring the porn back.

[the god of world-0]

I'd bring the porn back.

Do you really want another "Tohsaka's Anus"?

[Rafflesiac]

Yes.

[Glazy]

Sell it to Disney.

I'd bring the porn back.

Duality of Man

[Twelveseal]

Just imagine the Kingdom Hearts BS.

[pinetree]

Disney has nothing to do with 90% of KH's bullshit though.

[Twelveseal]

Nope. But do you think Squenix would pass up the chance to dick around with Fate?
