It really doesn't feel that bad to me. Like the inspiration is blatant but it's more "a self-indulgent fate fan makes this game" than plagiarism. It's on the same level as that Illya with the mech.

I should make it clear that I don't find Mydei's design repulsive or anything. Like I don't think the developers are evil for doing a little bit of ctrl + c ctrl + v on a franchise they like. Nasu and Takeuchi already do that all the time, they literally did that with Tower of Druaga to create Gilgamesh in the first place. I don't really care for him and won't roll for him but that would've been the case regardless of the context he exists in. It's just that I'm already seeing people have inane arguments about this online (as per usual for miHoYo fans) and his design likely would've been better received online if he had come out like a year ago.
I don't abhor it or anything but I find it kinda lazy or just way too blatant, there's not even an attempt to make it less apparent or change up the design. It's just the exact same thing. Ok
Yeah, I don't hate the design either even if I can't not see Proto Gil in it. I mean, Proto Gil is one of my fave Gil's designs anyway. My biggest gripe honestly is that he's another imaginary man and yet I'm gonna pull for him either way just crossing my fingers his kit has something unique on it.
Kalpas expy (with Hua's powers it seems) literally being Hobo AUO is funny.
There is a new LC featuring both together to be released in 3.0 and they seem to have some rivalry, which mirrors Kalpas and Kevin's rivalry. But now they really are Proto Gil vs Arthur lol.

I find it funny that Imaginary used to be the most rare back then, now I'm sick of seeing it. Meanwhile Quantum so far is completely genderlocked to female.
Maybe they're trying to make Imaginary and Quantum into some Yin and Yang shit. I didn't get far into hi3 story but I know there's a relationship and the Imaginary tree is in the sea of quanta and whatever and there's the Tree in Genshin
Yukong doesn't count, she's a fraud and irrelevant
David doesn't write nor design anything, he's like Kanou for FGO. In term of being a TM weeb he's far behind other members of the writing team who are balls deep into any kind of literature you can think of. Limengan (Luofu arc writer) is a very toxic TM boomer who considers anything post-FSN = trash while the only true TM writer is Nasu. For Amphoreus in particular, the rumored writer - Fanchuan - is basically what if you allow Sakurai to study philosophy and let her cook with Sanda, and in this case the dude is also a huge fan of Greek myth.
Okay so he's like 30% of this forum's older users then I get it /s

I'll consider HSR based when they reference something I like, as is true of all other things which reference other works of art. My favorite thing >>> other people's favorite things
Welp. Saw the 3.0 stream and my main thoughts are:
...aaand leaks were true. Triple banner rerun during BOTH The Herta and Aglaea...and for the latter's LC, DDD is rerunning. ...sooo...how good is high imposition DDD? Cuz like...at least Robin is rerunning during DDD rerun, so I can roll for that...otherwise I'm mainly considering Jade.
MARCH LORE? OMIGOSH PLEASE MARCH LORE I WAS SO "NOOO CLIFFHANGER AGGGGHHH" WHEN I DID HER CHARACTER QUEST.
Crazy tin foil hat theory: mem, TB's memosprite, is Cyrene/Elysia-expy stuck in that form, cuz of one scene from the trailer and the similar color scheme.
Aaaand last...oh. 8 patches for Amphoreus. So I guess the Fate collab will be tied to the story? It feels like it...

"You didn't have to fight for me, you know." "And you didn't have to curl your hair so we'll look even more alike." Ren stared before he softly chuckled, Akira joining him not long after. With one simple decision as a child, Ren Amamiya goes to Tokyo alongside his little sister, Akira. (P5R Sibling AU) (Ren/Ann, Akechi/Fem!Akira)

The compendium of my Servants
Can't believe we're getting TWO new waifus for the TB (Castorice and Cyrene) this time. Firefly is now owacon.
Good when using with supports who can abuse it. They are: Tingyun, Hanya, Asta, Sparkle, Bronya, Harmony MC, Ruan Mei.
Not full 8 patches per se, but rather the story will be spread out a bit more evenly compare to other arcs where the climax is usually reached by the end of x.2, due to larger amount of contents. I just hope it's not bloated with unnecessary yap like Genshin and HI3rd story atm.Aaaand last...oh. 8 patches for Amphoreus. So I guess the Fate collab will be tied to the story? It feels like it...
every arc we got a new girlfriend it seems
Yeah not sure if I'm really that excited for 8 patches of epic HI3 references.
The references by far stop at character resemblance or alternate versions at best, the 3.0 stream and even the Penacony ones made it very clear that it's the type of references that don't require you to know anything beforehand, the "if you know you know" kind.
Only cringe HI3rd stans would tell you that it is required. These ppl did it once with Acheron (who is just alt universe Raiden Mei), now it will be a lot more cancer when they claim HSR-only need to know how peak the HI3rd Flamechasers are. It's the same as FSN boomers telling every new Fate fans to play the VN whenever possible, ignore them.

From the look of it, Castorice is probably not THE girlfriend but will be who the TB bond with majority of the story like Acheron. Cyrene on the OTOH has big Firefly flag.
