****! i knew it was too good to be true!

well,you can just wait for that Fate announcement set for march. Shirou`s, Saber`s,Arjuna`s(or F/GO`s MC voice) and Mashu`s(Or Mattheu if you prefer) are the special guests, so who knows what its gonna be,maybe HF movie info and FGO announcement

also,jorg, a google search turned up that nutaku is a "sex game site"? so again, why do you ask?

since you know of DMM. I thought you would know of Nutaku since it's getting games from DMM and translating it

Ugh, more FGO. I'm surprised it's still going strong.

What did you think it was?

I saw ufotable so I thought it was going to be a crossover special.

has it been translating your monster girl game jorg? cuz i assume your game has more to translate than Kancolle...


^ at least thanks to the CM we found out that Caster Cu`s Wicker Man is building sized.

no. They have two sites one for the hentai games and another for all ages games. So far the only game in the for all ages category only includes Kanpani Girls and Angelic Saga

(knows what wicker man was based on so thought that was an obvious thing)

i knew of wicker man rituals but i didnt know that the real ones reached 30 or so meter in height.

Were they the ones who translated Madarrahime?

they likely never got that big in reality. But you know how word of mouth works. Each time the word of the ritual was passed through the romans it got more and more ridiculous

So, why is Cu suddenly burning wicker men?

cuz burning wicker men is a NP of all Druid casters (dunno the details if Cu qualifies as Druid)

Cu Caster's NP is to summon a Wicker Man to fight

Wicker Man was ritual done by the inhabitants of the british islands. Where a tribe would build a giant cage of wood in the shape of an animal or human, you put enemies inside of it and would put it on a fire as a gift to their gods.

Cu Caster's NP is a building sized Wicker Man that fights and sets stuff on fire.

That's stupid. It should be that he summons it around his target and burns them up.

that makes less sense since the people put inside the Wicker Man were the spoils of war.

in other words. these were not used before fight. these were used after fight.


it makes more sense to say "they are magical golems" than "instant kill attack"

It would be the end of the fight, obviously, if it worked. And the whole legend is about them being put inside and burned. Where the heck does the golem part come from?

Making Cu a Caster is stupid anyway. Yes, his rune magic technically qualifies him, but that doesn't mean he'd make for an interesting one. Clearly in FSN, he sees magic as situationally useful, not a preferred weapon.

considered Cu is actually a wizard soldier in myth. it makes all sense to make him a Caster.

cause you know. back then cristianity wasn't a thing so there no was prejudice against magic

infact Cu fits the bill of several classes. Archer and Saber are the only classes he can't fill.

I'm not sure where prejudice comes into it. But like you pointed out, he suits what rpgs commonly call a magic knight - a melee fighter with access to some spells to balance things out. That's far different from a mage character who solely uses magic as his weapon. Cu seems like too much of a blood knight to not want to get his hands dirty with melee combat.

Fits the bill doesn't mean they would suit him. Being qualified for a job doesn't make you the best fit.

that's why he's outclasses by a good chunk of other Casters. your point?

The point is they should never have made a Caster Cu because it doesn't suit him! But then, it's a losing battle to complain about them churning different class versions of existing Servants...

i don't get it. By your logic Lancer from the previous rp should have been ditched because it didn't suit her(yes, let me remind you that she was supposed to be Rider at first and that making her a Lancer made her an handicap)

just because they are weaker doesn't change that they exist. Cu Caster concept has existed for a long time, before even FGO came to be. Your opinion of it not suiting him doesn't change that it exists in both origin and adaptation

wait....why am i even talking about this?

No, it existed as a theory. It was said he "could" be a Caster. Could is not should!

Probably the only Servant that would work well outside is his original class is Heracles, and somehow, he's the only one they haven't abused! I mean FSN giftwrapped that talking about the various NPs sealed by not being an Archer.

But as you said, it's a moot point. My cries against the bloated monstrosity the Fate franchise has become fall on deaf ears.

just a question. why doesn't Cu suit as a Caster?

Didn't I just spend several posts pointing out why?

Unless you're someone like Bazett who uses magic to punch people, mages fight at a distance. Cu is clearly characterized as a blood knight who loves the thrill of combat. Someone who sits back and lobs spells doesn't suit him. Even worse, his NP that's supposed to be characteristic of him is to summon something to fight for him! Why would Cu ever pass up the opportunity to fight for himself?
