Ah yes, the tierlist has been updated once more.


> Ishtar dropping an entire rank for no reason
> Nero and Shuten still low on the list
> J. Alter still at a higher rank than Que despite finally having a class she's weak to

*sigh*...

lol Koala Killer. Also lol they've expanded the rankings down to 3. That's dedication to making a shitty tier list.

Agreed.

I wonder how much easier Ibaraki will be with all the new toys we've gotten since then. And by toys I mean Merlin.

Much MUCH easier.

Man, while the AP for that event was bullshit, it had the best and most enjoyable challenge in the game to this day. I remember staying for hours thinking about different team composition to beat the hardest Ibaraki raid and constantly tweaking it to get the best results. This is the first and last time I've ever done this for FGO.

I have more.

And I bought him because he OG Saber and Waver were the only TM rfigs that store had.
The only TM /character I would probably never buy even if I had the money to buy all of them would be that macho Japanese Archer that throws rice to people.

Yeah, it would be way easier with Merlin for Ibaraki battle. Imagine that Ibaraki from that event would be easily destroyed by Lv.100 Jalter or anyone with all the buffs from Merlin+Waver+Support Merlin and the Ushi/Kintoki event CEs too, which would be funny to me.

Females have good tastes, and even if Caster Gil is only 4th, I'm not mad since Merlin and Mashu are all good. I'm rather surprised that Waver is not in any top 10, since he's supposed to be so good (And is husbando material?)

@KaiserNazrin
You told me Melt was so good because she went back in time to save our ass and died in the process. Mashu keeps on doing that, I mean against Goetia she protected you. Also, even Gilgamesh likes her, nuff said.

But why choose the asshole or the nice guy when you can choose EMIYA who can be both an asshole and a nice guy? :^)

2)Merlin

Nippon women have the taste.

Wow, though, Gil is pretty high with both male and female even though he only appears for like 1 scene.

Also, if Melt is there for travelling back in time to redo stuff, I'm surprised Bedi isn't super high in that list, considering how he only walked in sorrow, remorse and self-condemnation until he turned into a living statue then got sent to a singularity to have salt rubbed into his wound after, of course, earning an arm that destroyed him everytime he used it. Yup, no biggie...


The sadness of being a 3*. :^(

astroprogs said:

Eh, why? Mashu came second(to Merlin) in the 'easiest to use' poll, so she's essentially beat JAlter in gameplay for the players. Next, she has so much more relevance and is so much more useful and faithful in-game than JAlter is, so it makes much sense.

Well people fall in love for a multitude of reasons. Shirou just has traits that attract the Fate heroines.

Also, yuss, a man who can cook is the one to marry! :^D

Allow me to be too real for a moment. The target audience are nerdy hopeless manchilds (as with majority of Japanese anime and games). The appeal was for them to live out that fantasy of slaying gods and getting the chicks. Fictional heroines are a completely DIFFERENT breed of girls with virtues and beauty that easily fall for the nice and kind characters because that's all they really have going for them. They cannot compete with all the successful domineering and handsome men in the real world.

What better way to seal the deal is to also give him a power that he alone has or is extremely proficient and godly at. It's projection for the audience. No pun intended.

Now I'm sure some people will say "but that's not true because of xyz reason or I know a nice dude that scored." Don't let the minority dictate the majority. There's a reason why we have the phrase 'nice guys finish last' it's not a joke, because girls are after the alphas, the rich and successful but only a mere 20% or less of the male population are that. They eventually give up (usually late 20s to mid 30s because their looks and fertility starts to go down), lower their standards and settle with someone who most likely won't get them wet but sure will stick around and support them while they fantasize over the hot guys from time to time.

Try being a nice and kind guy to girls in real life. You're pretty much telling them "Hey beautiful I'm a doormat and a walking ATM machine. I hold you on a pedestal and will do absolutely anything for you like a slave." I'm sure that gets all the girls soaking wet. Oh what's that? You have a SECRET POWER? Now she's somewhat interested, do tell?

To be fair tho lots of nice and pretty girls do go for nice guys who dont have the Golden Rule skill at all.

The question is if a girl like rin and the other fsn girls would go for some nice guy if the plot didnt demand it.

If i were a girl and somebody actually said this to me, I'd look for the catch TBH.

But yeah, i agree, but also have to say that there a lot of exceptions to this IRL and relationships that get to continue for a long time don't go that much by the numbers.

I think it's more of a "easier to relate in VN format".
Since you read all his thoughts, you understand him a little better and won't consider him a dumbass for some of his choices.
Except when he tries to protect Saber. Or generally fight people he knows he'll be instantly destroyed by.
Actually, that's way too many instances. Eh, whatever. Still a little better.

Well of course it does. One is naturally going to be more attracted to a servant who is useful than to a servant who isn't useful; it's human nature to mix up 'what I like' with 'what I like to use'. The 'easiest servant to use' list goes like this:

1) Merlin
2) Mashu

3) Waver
4) JAlter
5) Cu Alter
6) Jack
7) Gil Archer

8) Herk
9) Okita
10) Scatty


8/10 were in the top 10 for either male or females. Herk only screams and Waver is Waver. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. If one were to take away the boundaries of gameplay, faithful servants like Bedi and Melt who strike a chord in the hearts of the players would be way higher than JAlter who's popularity is less depth of character and more tsundere + good gameplay.

Its not like J.Alter can't strike the chord either, she played a pretty important role in Shinjuku and her farewell to the protagonist was pretty sweet itself.

The question is if a girl like rin and the other fsn girls would go for some nice guy if the plot didnt demand it.


Not an expert but here's my 2 cents of Shirou's realistic love chemistry.

Saber? No.
Rin? No.
Sakura? Yes, very probable.
Illya? Other than as siblings? No.
Swords? Hell yes.
Justice? Perfect match.
Himself? Fuck no.
Cooking? Soul Mates.

Well, there's your problem right there.


Can you explain, please? I guess the anime can never be as good, and I read people saying characters were better in the game. Is that it? Does that mean that I should absolutely play the game, despite being a lazy-ass?

Well, in short, the anime truly butchered every single character who didn't have an ahoge. You're not meant to relate to Shirou in Fate, but you're not really meant to find him annoying.
Everytime he does something seemingly stupid, you get his psychlogical profile in excruciating detail on why exactly he did such a thing and it's told in an interesting way that makes you think about how Shirou's mind tick.
In the anime, where there's none of that, because who needs character depth amirite?, so you're only left with the conclusion that he's an annoying white-knighting idiot.

And absolutely yes, you should play the VN. No anime adaptation of F/SN so far really captures the essence of what makes Shirou (and Rin too IMO) truly great characters.
Sakura is still in the air and the only character that was done justice to is Saber ATM.

I think it's more of a "easier to relate in VN format".
Since you read all his thoughts, you understand him a little better and won't consider him a dumbass for some of his choices.
Except when he tries to protect Saber. Or generally fight people he knows he'll be instantly destroyed by.
Actually, that's way too many instances. Eh, whatever. Still a little better.

Actually, he knows EXACTLY the consequences of his actions. He does them anyway due to his psychological issues. Idiots don't really understand the ramifications of their actions. Shirou clearly does and gives his reasons for why he still does these things.

No? The vote was just about the most favorite Servants. 9/10 were males for the female vote and 7/10 were females for the male vote.

Gameplay doesn't seem to have anything to do with these choices.


Well of course it does. One is naturally going to be more attracted to a servant who is useful than to a servant who isn't useful; it's human nature to mix up 'what I like' with 'what I like to use'. The 'easiest servant to use' list goes like this:

1) Merlin
2) Mashu

3) Waver
4) JAlter
5) Cu Alter
6) Jack
7) Gil Archer

8) Herk
9) Okita
10) Scatty


8/10 were in the top 10 for either male or females. Herk only screams and Waver is Waver. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. If one were to take away the boundaries of gameplay, faithful servants like Bedi and Melt who strike a chord in the hearts of the players would be way higher than JAlter who's popularity is less depth of character and more tsundere + good gameplay.

Hey, you take that back. I cry every time at "▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!".

Ok, i kinda see your point, yeah. Artoria not being there is really telling too, considering it's a Japanese poll.

That dance was pretty adorable, yeah. I like the CE flavor text we got about the dress too.

You've inflicted the same pain to me J.Alter, now you know how it feels!
