| Today's random mood: "Man... I really want that Berserker dubstep. UBW OST3 when?" |
| Wait, do I really to have beat 2mil Avenger? What the hell, man. EDIT: You just have to last 15 turns apparently. Lel, I was down to Mashu. |

| Caster Gil finally goes all out by bringing Ea, and using different quotes, phrases, and a new NP chant to go along with it. |

Gorgon Medusa's final ascension: Also, i'm just amused that King Hassan's NP name is "Azrael". Assassins in Fate usually use clumsy Arabic words for their powers, but they got this one right. |
bakari said: astroprogs said: By clumsy arabic words do you mean zabaniya?Also, i'm just amused that King Hassan's NP name is "Azrael". Assassins in Fate usually use clumsy Arabic words for their powers, but they got this one right. Wikipedia said: In Islamic belief, Maalik (Arabic: مالك / mālik) denotes an angel in Hell/Purgatory (Arabic: جهنم / jahannam) who administrates the Hellfire, assisted by 19 mysterious guards known as الزبانية / az-zabānīya. I think it's fine. The words are correct, the sense in using them for the myth of Assassins isn't because the Assassins were muslims. Using a word like "Zabaniya" is sacrilegious to say the least, especially when you consider the era and the principles they upheld. The RL Hashshashin would probably kill anyone who attempts to call them "Zabaniya". Not to mention, saying they used the powers of "Alshaytatn" (=The Devil) pretty much goes against their origin when he could've just said their powers are simply crystallizations of the methods of killing they used when they were alive. The word "Azrael" is different because it's not of islamic origin, but it's of a persian one which befits the roots of the Assassins. The usage of the word was apt because the Hashshashin wouldn't mind calling their leader/best at what he does "Azrael". It's a minor nitpick, i know, but it's noticeable for someone who's familiar with the language and culture. I'm sure Nasu has taken similar liberties with countless other historical figures. |

Plz a moment of silence for all those losers in HGWs that summoned anyone of the other Hashshashin. |

| I really like how GO has been getting better and better music tracks compared to the mediocre and generic tracks they had at launch and with the first couple of chapters.

I absolutely agree that taking liberties is way more fun, it's just there are other Arabic words that would make more sense and would feel just as authentic to the unfamiliar ear. ssjokg said: Plz a moment of silence for all those losers in HGWs that summoned anyone of the other Hashshashin.

| I may have mentioned it a few times already, but my app crashes when I try to open it. I re-installed it once already and then got the chinese version, which for some reason does work. It doesn't give events right though. |
Azrael. Azrael.. Azrael... *relives a series of PTSD flashback of getting frustrated, kicked repeatedly across the screen and rekt fighting against Azrael from Blazblue* ...well I guess I'll never be getting him. |
astroprogs said: B-but a Kaijura theme was playing. That means that, even if they're weak as shit, they can look a bit cool, right? But Assassins' summon wasn't shown in Zero, so he/they didn't get the chance to benefit from Point Zero. Speaking of which, I love that scene. I couldn't have been more hyped when I saw Gil-kun, it's something that still gives me goose bumps to this day. https://youtu.be/QIJXJ0RwxOY?t=1m56s |

| Oh, hi Genkii ! Genkii said: Today's random mood: "Man... I really want that Berserker dubstep. UBW OST3 when?" Don't remind me that. Unfortunately, it's not the only unreleased soundtrack. Among those I liked, there were : - Shirou VS Lancer - Shirou VS Archer - Shirou's ideals There's also a bit of Dark Glow (Gilgamesh's theme) that wasn't released. More precisely, the part where Gilgamesh executes Sella. astroprogs said: I was referencing that scene from ECR.

The Shirou vs Archer one was in the OST. It's in the last part of "Desperate Awakening". Yep, it's has easily some of the funniest scenes Nasu ever written imo :D |

astroprogs said: The Shirou vs Archer one was in the OST. It's in the last part of "Desperate Awakening". If you listen carefully, it's not exactly the same. I also thought "Desperate Awakening" was the track I was looking for when I first heard it. While they both share the same "base", they are two distinct themes. astroprogs said: Yep, it's has easily some of the funniest scenes Nasu ever written imo :D Will definitely check this out. |

Hmmm, it's a bit different, but i don't know if it's different enough to be that distinct though. But yeah, it's not the same track. Fukasawa said that he was making the music as he went along while watching the finished scenes, instead of formulating a track based on the direction of the director like how music for anime is usually made. They probably found these tiny rearrangement of the main tracks to be too small to include in the OST. It certainly doesn't seem like Fukasawa had a hand in picking which tracks got released and what didn't. ShadowfrostZen said: Has anyone else finished Babylon yet? Besides me? I'm saving my apples, so it should take me some time. I want to roll for Avenger and Lancer Medusa, so i'm taking it easy until i get enough free quartz. What did you think of it BTW?

Yup, that "but" sums it up for me. Sometimes a man's gotta roll what a man's gotta roll. Hmmm. So far, i feel like i had an easier time with Camelot despite having a few better Servants added to my stock this time around. The fights are a bit annoying so far, but hopefully they get more enjoyable, especially the solo-Servants fights. VeryNicePerson said: Yeah, it's probably what happened.

I'm afraid my non-existent moonrune reading skills may screw me up. ShinsoPriest said: I just realized something. Taiga: Kendo master Class: Lancer Something doesn't seem right. Taiga is pseudo-Servant Nagual. He's a Lancer. There's a funny bit about it in the story. Apparently, Taiga's personality is so insane and overwhelming, while Nagual has all the influence over the vessel's class, stats and attributes, Taiga is completely in control of the body lol |
ShinsoPriest said: MightyM16 said: Enkidu's a mess, dude. His skills are awfully underwhelming and all over the place and his deck is painful to look at. AQQQB Skill 1 buffs Buster, Arts, and Quick by 50% for a turn Skill 2 debuffs enemy crit by 50% and removes enemy buffs(I think) Skill 3 heals Enkidu for 10,000 HP, but has a cooldown of 10 at max level. NP is ST, debuffs defense for 3 turns, and stuns divine servants. That AQQQB though. Just why. Skill 1 is just Buster up for 50% with a RNG for Quick and Arts, therefore it's unreliable Skill 2 is just enemy crit down and removes enemy dodge Skill 3 is a good heal but with a very big cooldown His NP is okay at least but he is still inferior to Scathach. |
| FYI Astro, Babylon starts getting hard around chapter 18, and the gimmicks become much more harsh |
|
| I am at chapter 10, its pretty tedious and not at all rewarding. Maaaaaaaaaybe if I have a new servant, I would feel different. |
|
| Now that i think about it, when Nasu said that Babylonia will feature the "Face of Fate", who did he mean? Rin was introduced before it, Gil is an old character in the game, Enkidu and Medusa are hardly icons for the franchise and Merlin and King Hassan are... yeah, i get the feeling he didn't mean them either. That leaves... oh god... Nasu, you glorious bastard! ShadowfrostZen said: FYI Astro, Babylon starts getting hard around chapter 18, and the gimmicks become much more harsh Lovely. While Sanzo and Karna are good, my lack of good Casters and Lancers is a pain in the ass when most fights, at least so far up to chapter 7, require them. Hopefully this changes. The 5* Jeanne duo can only save my ass so much. |

| Chapter 20 is incredibly irritating, earthquake randomizes your party at the start and a wave comes through that drains 900hp after every turn, the 4th battle in particular is really frustrating. |

Enkidu's star gen is surprisingly good compared to all the other lancers. Probably Okita levels of good. |
| The fact that this chapter heavily spoils EXTRA CCC really irritates me. I've been avoiding all CCC spoilers for a little less than 4 years now... y u do this to me nasu...!? TT_TT *sigh* Anyway, Medusa really got the best art out of the whole bunch. |
Yup. -Mahesvara said: Chapter 20 is incredibly irritating, earthquake randomizes your party at the start and a wave comes through that drains 900hp after every turn, the 4th battle in particular is really frustrating. I actually got through 20 without a scratch. Though it's probably because I own lots of top tier Archers, and most of it involves taking down a single saber class enemy. Starting chapter 21 now. This should be good. Putting these 146 bronze apples to good use, lol. |
ShinsoPriestDec 9, 2016 10:00 PM
| Damn that battle with King Hassan as support is quite the grind, Kouhai and J.Alter were clutch. BTW, the BGM is hype af |

| Chapter 21 went by really quickly. I cheesed through most of the fights with Tiamat with Nero Bride+Squirtoria combo. She had no chance. AoE'd everything before that to hell with Gilgamesh and Artoria. The part with King Hassan went by pretty quickly since I brought Shiki who is unmatched in instant kills. They went down like flies. I should have used Saber Shiki as support instead. Overall probably the easiest final chapter of them all. |

Yeah I sort of lack instant kill servants besides both Scathach's, so it took me awhile to clear it. Though like you said, the rest was easy, but fun tbh. |

| Ok, it's official. Ishtar literally says that she's not 100% herself, but 70% Ishtar and 30% Rin. Apparently Ishtar was slightly more arrogant and unfriendly, but "the vessel influenced her personality greatly". Rin was so similar to her, she blended perfectly with Ishtar to the point that the latter acts out on Rin's personality and values sometimes without realizing it. If it weren't for Rin, Ishtar wouldn't had lent a hand to the protagonist in Babylonia. ren9 said: who is she? Ereshkigal, the goddess of the land of the dead and Ishtar's older sister. She's a Lancer. |
