I like it. Hopefully this will lead to Arcueid making an appearance in Grand Order as a limited servant.


It is going to happen obv. it will be easy money for TM and DW and I don't doubt R.Shiki will be included as well

I wonder if they'll use their latest designs in Extra. Really doubt they'll use Arc's remake design unless F/GO lasts 'til 2018 at the least.

It's possible we'd get both because of the whole ascension thing. Though I'd have to wonder what the third ascension would look like? Archetype: Earth? Phantasmoon?

Neco-Arc :p
Archetype: Earth seems like the logical thing to do.

Shiki would be really interesting, as well.
First ascension: Shiki in her blue kimono with her knife and normal eyes.

Second ascension: Shiki in her red leather jacket with MEoDP.

Third ascension: Shiki in her light pink kimono with her sword and/or MEoDP.

Final art: Preferably this exact one lol.

They seem like the most game-y non-games, if you ask me.

blegh said:
So you consider this to be a game?


Have a failure-state.... (✔)
So do Choose Your Own Adventure books

No, it's not debatable.

The conditions are to be taken together as a whole, not individually. As in, if VNs lack one of the above criteria, then they shouldn't be labeled as games.
They don't, so they're considered video games.

Why would you respond to that point as if I were serious? Anyways, entertainment can be derived from anything, listing it as a part of the criteria is redundant

I wanted to see test if you were just baiting or if you were actually asking for a serious discussion. Staying on MAL for a long while will make you that suspicious.
Regardles...

blegh said:
Way to dodge what I said. I broke them up to address each specifically, put my responses together and bam, you'd still be wrong. If that button pressing site were to have a chance to not produce any sound, would that make it a game? No, it wouldn't. VNs follow the same logic. It's simply a Choose Your Own Adventure book, just electronic and uses buttons to choose which scene to go to rather than turning a page. Would you consider a Choose Your Own Adventure PDF a game simply because you can directly pick what page to go to with a button? No, you wouldn't (at least I hope not).

Also,


Visual Novels are not competitive in any way and the bottom definition is far too vague to even consider (one can engage in reading a book for amusement, wouldn't make it a game).

I didn't dodge what you said. Your response to one of the criteria seemed to ignore the other one.
Failure-state must be invoked by the user not random chance, i should've clarified. Actually, there are some laws in the US IIRC that puts that distinction between video games and electronic gambling machines. If the failure-state resulted completely due to player choice of any kind (like skill in gameplay), then it's a game. If it was due to RNG, then it's a gambling device and must follow the respective rules of such devices.

VNs' failure-states are completely in the hands of the player and there isn't a random chance to it.
If an electronic Choose Your Own Adventure had a failure-state, then yes, it's a game.
What's the difference between going down a menu and choosing to kill an enemy in a turn-based RPG, and going down a menu in a VN and choosing to do the same? What's the difference between a linear game design that forces you in a specific path with the same enemy placement, and a VN with semi-linear storytelling with the same events?
The former in both questions just gives you more control on how you perform the act. The latter still gives you choice and control, just less of it.

Also, "competitive" means that it must have a failure-state, as in competing against the game's designed obstacles, because single player games with no scoring systems can't be competitive if you look at it any other way.

Ouch, i know the feeling when that happens.

I wouldn't really call it "winning". I really enjoy discussions like that, which are a rarity here on MAL, so whoever is right doesn't matter as much to me as having rational interactions with rational people :)

Seeing how they dealt with Shiki and Void in this collab, what are the chances of Arc being the free Servant, while Archtype: Earth being the big 5* one?

The chance of Archetype: Earth not being the 5* gacha Servant is 0%.

The chance of normal Arc being the free event Servant is idk, because they might use Shiki as the event Servant instead.

A male event Servant? Psht, like that would ever happen.
Tohno/Nanaya's awesomeness aside, no one would want him. Remember that this is Fate/fanservice the game.

Next you'd be telling me that Sacchin would be in the collab.

I kinda doubt we'd get a MB collab on top of a Tsuki one though

Actually I'd imagine the Tsuki event would be just to promote and celebrate the release date of Tsukihime Remake (there's no guarantee its being announced in this year's TM Ace, but I'm kinda confident it is) in order to hog FGO's audience's attention

Put Eltnum instead and make her repeatedly break the 4th wall. I want her to make repeated jabs at the whales and Nasu for still not releasing Tsukihime remake and Melty Blood HD.
