Random GO fan ships are like fast food, immediately delicious and forgettable. Remember Vlad x Nero?

Speaking of Martha, can't freaking wait to get the chance to roll her Ruler form. I want her more than Artoria Archer, swimsuit Raikou and swimsuit Nero combined. Last year was incredibly depressing with all the quartz and tickets i wasted and getting absolutely nothing.

Yes, because it was an humiliation for her. But in the game, Gugalanna is apparently still alive and they wanted the creature against Tiamat, so it seems likely the reason Enkidu died was changed :/
Oh yes .. Ishtar .. Ruining her former lovers (Killing husband and all), then makes a fuss because Gilgamesh rejects her for that, sending Gugalanna and causing Enkidu's death .. Lol

Right, that was the reason for enki's death given in Extra CCC.
As for this game, the F/GO Wiki says: "After the fight on the city of Uruk, the friends Gilgamesh and Enkidu underwent many adventures, but it ultimately lost its life after the battle with the divine beast Gugalanna", though I'm not sure if that's just a restatement of the previous lore or what. If anyone knows details, feel free to share bc I'm curious now too lol

Because Babylonia's peak came about 1000 years after the time said to be Gilgamesh's reign.
He may have been king at about 2500 before Christ, in a period called 'Period of Uruk'. As for Babylonia, it's said that its first big king was Hammurabi, known for making the first text of law in western history. The 'paleo-babylonian' period began about 500 years after Gilgamesh's reign and Hammurabi's reign was at about 1500 years before Christ, at Babylonia's peak.
They should have just called it 'Uruk' or even calling it 'Mesopotamia' wouldn't have been shocking. I'm not sure the city was even called 'Babylonia' at Gilgamesh's time, if ever it already existed.

In the legend, gods killed Enkidu as a 'punishment' for 'Humiliating' Ishtar and show Gilgamesh, kinda. If in the games it's the same, then I don't see why it would be implied Gugalanna would still be alive

Well that's where you're wrong, my friend. The only reason it's called 'Babylonia' is Babylon, an already existing city, is dismantled to build a wall to protect Uruk and everywhere behind it. Obviously the singularity is centred around the wall, so it's also called Babylonia. And Gil has clairvoyance, so I don't see why he can't steal a name from the future.

Next, the translation simply cannot be changed because it literally says バビロニア(Ba.bi.ro.ni.a/Babylonia) in Japanese, which isn't a translation error like Altria(which is utter bullshit btw). If it were ever meant to be Babylon, it would be written バビロン(Ba.bi.ro.n).

Lastly, were you expecting historical or mythological accuracy from the franchise which has 5th Century knights wearing 15th Century armour?

Enkidu was killed by Gugalanna. It's why he's so pissed at her in his My Room lines.

I don't remember it ever being said directly, but i think it's implied that the Bull became a part of Ishtar's legend, so she can summon him, kinda like how Medusa can summon Pegasus and Medea can, theoretically, summon a dragon.

The Gugalanna Ishtar/Rin has is not the same Gugalanna that killed Enkidu. Time and time again it was refereed to as "Ishtar's trump card", like he's an extension of her. Not to mention, Ishtar flat out said that she felt the connection between the human world and the gods' to have been completely gone. She can't summon Gugalanna from that world, even if it was still alive there.

They never said it directly but I think certain servants being able to summon something that's "related" to them makes sense in the context of things. Isnt that also why Semiramis can summon Basmu (and also harpies)? I assume those would also be considered more of manifestations than the real creatures from that actual world

But in the game, Caster Gilgamesh doesn't seem to really really hate Ishtar .. ? Or maybe it's directed at all gods, not just her but still his behaviour toward her in Babylonia doesn't show enough o:

I haven't read Apocrypha, so I'm not familiar with that part of the story. But, yeah, that sounds similar.

Oh, he's pretty pissed too. The reason he doesn't go all "must avenge friend" when she's around is because:
1) He senses that there's something fundamentally different about her. He tells Gudao that the Ishtar he knows would've killed him on the spot if he dared asking her for help, let alone actually tagging along. The "Rin part" is the thing that's holding him back.
2) Kinda hard to think about old grudges when not only Uruk will be annihialated, but the entire world. If he can have her as an ally, at least temporarily, he'll take it.

Even Enkidu's comment is kinda soft. He asks Gudao if he there's anything he can throw at her. It's a reaction incredibly similar to Gil's. They're absolutely pissed at Ishtar, but they sense that this is a different Ishtar than the one that tormented both of them.

Also, and this is one of my favorite scenes of her, she subtly tells Gudao that he's her actual first friend because of the way of life she used to have and then tells Gil (and she uses the word Kinpika too) that she'll use all of her power to help Gudao succeed. Kinda hard to look at her the same way he used to, isn't it?

I found that comment about the new Summer Event Servants rumor from https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/6l79e4/this_years_summer_events/ :

"Officially? Not that I'm aware. However, allegedly same source as the person that revealed CCC event info before its release has said that Nero and Raikou will be gacha swimsuits while we get freebie Ishtar.

Edit: From rxrx over on BL. https://tieba.baidu.com/p/5203017251 "

That's cool about Nero and Ishtar, but it's still a rumor, so we will wait and see if that rumor is true or not when the new Summer event comes out.

Depends on who you're talking about.
If OG Ishtar, then yeah, she's a horrible piece of shit.
If Rishtar, then she's pretty much a spoiled Rin. A VERY spoiled Rin. You can't be a fan of Rin and not be a fan of Rishtar.

OG Ishtar is the kind of personality who would do this shit to Enkidu. Rishtar is not.

Your thought process is correct.
Ishtar has no charming points.
It works like this:
Enkidu >>>> everyone
So, naturally, any version of Ishtar should be dead for what OG Ishtar did to it.
Including Rishtar.

She's part Rin, so it's not that she's "Rin-like". She's literally 30% Rin.

If you don't like Rishtar for what she "supposedly did" to Enkidu, how will you like her OG self. OG Ishtar isn't the J. Alter type of evil, but have that Jeanne component inside (that's kinda what Rishtar is), she's the real deal piece of shit.

Also, unlike Misaya Reiroukan, she's not horrible in a charming and badass way, she's just a horrible spoiled brat.

I don't like Rishtar precisely because she needed to be part Rin to be popular. I'll definitely appreciate OG Ishtar more because at least she's an honest representation.

I think you'd just appreciate the concept, but you really wouldn't like the character. Rin is what's making her a fan favorite. OG, with what we've known of her before GO even, doesn't seem like a good character on her own.

Aside from Rin's popularity, she needed Rin to be actually interesting. At least IMO. I know i wouldn't have cared for her if she was OG.

Except some people don't care for Rin and would be interested precisely because she isn't a Rin clone. Also DW wouldn't care about that reasoning because money will be made no matter what 5* they decide to release.

I don't really care for Ishtar all that much, Rin fused be damned.

I just find her a pretty good nuke in FGO and I like using her and Enkidu on the same teams ayy lmao-

But I feel like that Ishtar is a lot more likable because she has 30% of Rin hijacking her personality.

Lore aside, there's no point. People won't really care for her when there's already an Ishtar with freaking Rin Tohsaka on top.

Being an absolute piece of shit won't help her chances either.

Except some people don't care for Rin and would be interested precisely because she isn't a Rin clone. Also DW wouldn't care about that reasoning because money will be made no matter what 5* they decide to release.



But... there are no such people. There are two kinds of people: those who like Rin and those who're Tsundere for Rin.

Case in point:


See?
Classic Tsun.

He does. To the extent he compared Rin to Ishtar in their my room lines. Harshly.

'Heh... this time's Ishtar seems to have improved on her stupidity just a little. No longer wholly dependent on her father, she now stands on her own feet as a lone god. Huh, perhaps it is the temperament of a girl who has lost her father at a young age that has rehabilitated the useless goddess. Fate, it truly is a well-made fabric.' (When you have: Ishtar)


I've seen worse
I mean
Yeah, Gilgamesh thinks pretty lowly of Ishtar, but i wasn't comparing it on a scale on anything
just giving evidence-

I'm actually indifferent to Rin in her entirety, despite UBW being my favorite route(because Sakura exists)

Don't hate, don't like, just kinda.. there.
Wished she was the main protag of FSN though, might've made the VN more enjoyable.(for me)

Translation: B-but I don't mind if we see her in the most important position in the story. DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA, THOUGH.



lol Seriously though, as much as i love Rin, and i don't know if you've noticed, but she can sometimes be in the general vicinity of my favorites, I wouldn't want her as the protagonist. F/SN just wouldn't work with anyone other than Shirou as the MC.

Sorry but Illya completely overshadows Rin in every regard. The biggest mistake Nasu made was making a Rin route and not Illya. He was probably bribed to do that. Loved the moment in the VN when Rin asked Shirou who he liked and you picked Illya.

This. Every time. Imoutos are the best.

@SabrinaK
Don't worry, I fully intend to make OG Ishtar suffer if I ever roll her while making sweet mana love to Enkidu. It's not gay if it's clay.

Are you the mysterious other person that voted for the Fate route in the other thread eons ago!?

yeah this pretty much
Rin's the worst heroine in any nasuverse entry and would drag UBW below Fate if not for Answer
OG Ishtar would be far more interesting and desirable.
