Is the Lostbelt 6 crystallisation of the worst Nasu's ideas?

[rxrx]

Wrong.
There aren't any canon interest for guda, since according to Nasu they are supposed to be the player. Main story just avoids any mention of such things. Side story have things like the CCC event or Saber Wars 2 event, and my room fanservice of course.

He even made a post in his blog how he made Nero Bride to be Nero who doesn't have memories of Extra's protagonist and is your heroine in FGO.

So there is no NTR there.

I think Nasu is trying to move away from there in LB6 and make MC a character of his own. Due to taste, not many like Mashu, or they just prefer other servants, but it seems Nasu is trying to show that MC is not the player, so players can like whatever servant they want, but he is going to make MC and Mashu an item. Who knows.

NTR sure has became a hell of a meaningless buzzword, huh.

Making them an item after being personally responsible for several stories where female servants want to get in Guda's pants certainly is a choice

Nasu loves to go back on his words anyway. Seriously, I wonder how many will drop the game if that is to happen.

Would that be a bad thing, though?

Mashu is one of the most popular Servants and ships in the game. It's hardly a bold choice.

Guda canonically hits on Mash on several occasions, dude, even without taking into account optional choices (which typically are 'flirt with Mash openly or flirt with Mash but with wording that can be construed differently if you squint' anyway). Other waifus get Valentine's scenes.

[mami-kouga]

That's a YMMV, no matter how much complaints are made about her Mash is still ultimately the most popular original servant from this game so I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to officially get with their vanilla waifu.

I just find it off putting since I'm not attracted to girls in the first place (so Mash's ship tease isn't even the only one that I'm not fond of) and only view her as a sister, they keep making characters who have a large part of their personalities being in love with Guda even in main story chapters which makes their bond kind of weaker to me and just as a whole I don't care that much about their dynamic since it's the most vanilla master/servant dynamic in this entire franchise

He doesn't. The MC is your character, who has your name, birthdate and gender, this much never changed.
He doesn't have even a name, Nasu always uses 主人公/The Protagonist in his blog to name them. (Same goes for the Extra's MC, "The Protagonist", which differs them from Shirou/Shiki, who named with their actual name) You can reread the latest Olympus blog post, and see for yourself.

So there is almost zero chance he will make it an item, and it would be certainly super bad taste from him. (Especially when one of FGO themes is that future holds infinite possibilities.)
I think he will make multiple endings to FGO (if he doesn't plan to make Part 3 and make it continue to infinite), since it's what all of his entries have.

And much more people would hate it and curse Nasu for such bad taste move.
This is why it will never happen.

This whole discussion runs on the assumption that Fujimaru will survive the ending, which really doesn't seem like what the story is building up to.

[Trubo]

Sure he will, he'll just get salaryman ending.

[Gosserbam]

I will never open the game again without saving the transfer code and would just pretend that Guda was just killed by Morgan and the story ended there. (You know, like in Dark Souls lore.)
(And it would be happier ending for Guda, what an irony.)

Since it would be literal false advertisement from Nasu's side, which is quite shitty, if you take into account how much money you can spend on FGO.

[Trubo]

So how many accounts did this guy end up making here? I'm assuming three at the least.

You know, I wouldn't really complain on heroic sacrifice type of ending. It fits someone who leads hundreds of heroes from all the history, since the hero and the sacrifice were always intertwined.
And you're right, as there are bunch of death flags and foreshadowing.

Oh my god who the fuck cares, they are just a videogame character, they are not "you" in any possible sense of the word.

You're wrong though, and a lot of people do care.

What makes you say that?

1) Every interlude batch since, uh, I believe 2019 (?) included at least one interlude whose plot is "Fujimaru's fucked up mental health + constant attempts to hide it is fucking their physical health". Some of them (Kama's being the first example to come to mind) have them simply collapse on the ground out of nowhere.

2) The overall absolutely tired tone of Part 2's second opening's lyrics.

3) Yuga Kshetra's epilogue has Lakshmi saying she can't be too mad about all the lives lost because she's from India, a land that believes in reincarnation. She's confident everyone who died in the Lostbelt will get a second chance on the next incarnation. This potentially makes LB4 a set up for an happy epilogue where Fujimaru reunites with all the Lostbelt natives, and maybe even Ophelia and Kirschtaria, in the next cycle. The Olympus twins also have a random "I'm sure we'll see again in a future different from the present" line in their send-off, further pushing the happy reincarnation epilogue idea.

Lakshmi's speech also includes a "but if you fail to provide a world every can reincarnate to, I'm coming back to kick your ass", and we all know post-final boss Lakshmi would be too anti-climatic to be the real ending.

4) Nasu comments on the fifth anniversary interview.

Endings are not something that can be avoided. How do you prepare your heart for when the time comes, how do you face it, is an omnipresent theme for humanity. Rather than making it like this because FGO has an end, it's more that I'm trying to make people aware of the end because this is the theme.

At the end of Fate/stay night, it was the ending of Shirou and Fuyuki's tale, but Shirou's life continued past that. In comparison to that, FGO's ending would probably more strongly emphasize "this is the end of FGO".
