I just started yesterday XD though I don’t think I can say I got my 5 star the good way? I did the reroll thing where I cleared data and started over again till I got what I wanted <.< I was hoping for Jeanne but since I got a 5 star saber I decided I would settle with it
I’m hoping to actually pull another 5 star so I can trade my account for a Lily Saber Code on a facebook group

I didn’t use mine, but don’t; Saber Lilly is really bad, even at high level her stats are low. If you pull a 5 star keep it.

She is indeed, almost bought a figurine of her this summer.
So I’m actually buying a code from a person for $4 so I get to keep my 5 star Arthur XD

From a design perspective I am a huge fan of Sakura Saber - I am always a sucker for wafuku though. But Fate/Extra saber is the one I had the most fun with personality wise.

@Skyzzed Do you mean Red Saber or Saber of Red? They are two very different characters. I personally really like saber of red, but Red saber is just very annoying (in my opinion). Like I said before it may be because her real identity is: Emperor Nero which is a really despicable person.
@kyuketsukimiyu, Sakura saber is simply amazing. Unfortunately her story isn’t developped as much as other characters. However her design is delightful. Fun fact:Mordred (saber of red) calls Sakura Saber father and Artoria mother because they look almost the same. Another fun fact: Sakura saber’s real identity is: Okita Souji, a japanese general. But even if she looks like a strong characters, her stats are quite low.
Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with KOHA-ACE, so her personality is still mysterious to me. I’ll have to go through the manga at some point.

I mean Red Saber - I know her identity is that of an asshat (to put it lightly), but as she stands in the Extra I enjoy her. By nature of the noble spirit system I think you deal with a lot of historical figures who are complex and have various black marks on their record when you look at a more total picture of the history. For me she works as a character.
Saber of Red is pretty cool too, though I have not read any of the novels she is in, so I mostly know her from the Fate wiki

Yea I do mean Red Saber, and not (Apocrypha spoiler) Mordred, because even with that being her identity, they slightly changed her story like they did with Arturia ((Extra spoiler) basically removing most of the “crazy lunatic” part of Nero), and the way she comes across in F/E is like a more likable version of Gil^^

I don’t know much about Aka Saber besides having watched her Niconico stream, playing Kantai and having her as a support in Fate Grand Order. I really like her personallity from what I’ve seen and her saying “Umu” is great XD

She’s pretty hardcore ( F/E “spoiler?” http://i.imgur.com/XbnsLEZ.png )
Actually, when you first get her she’s pretty much femGil, but once she starts to like you she even has an adorable side, quite the gap-moe^^
I’ve seen her April’s Fools stream, but only a few min of the KanColle one because no subtitles and I barely understand any japanese (which is also why I haven’t played a whole lot of CCC, only up to where Saber gets her bride outfit)

Man, how’d it take me so long to discover this thread?
I haven’t played or read much of the “extended universe” Fate stuff. I’ve read the VN, Hollow Ataraxia, and am currently reading through Fate/Apocrypha. For animes I’ve seen Fate/Zero, UBW, and Deen’s adaptation shudder.
I’m a huge fan of the lore and worldbuilding done in Fate. I especially liked Hollow Ataraxia and all of the ridiculous bullshit that it brought to the table. Fragarach OP, man.
Is anyone here a member of /r/fatestaynight on reddit? That subreddit has some awesome fanart and lore discussion, would recommend.

This is news to me, or at least I don’t remember anything of the sort. Please elaborate.
Weaved as a sub-narrative in Fate/Zero’s plot is Kirei’s inability to find purpose. The only life he identifies with is the one of a monster, and he tries everything he can to avoid it. Although a good man of the church in virtually every respect, faith in God has not satisfied his need for a purpose. Meanwhile, his Father remains blissfully unaware of Kirei’s inner turmoil and is satisfied with Kirei’s seeming devotion and obedience to God’s laws.
I believe inherent to these plot threads is commentary on religion itself. Urobuchi believes that religion is a necessary social construct, but unlike Christians like me, does not believe it is a “one size fits all” deal. Some people will be captivated to become better for religion, while others will dislike or just not understand why someone would devote their lives to following such a thing. It’s not a central theme, but it plays into the apparent contradiction of how Kirei (at the start, anyways) could be both a man of God, and yet, one utterly unsatisfied with himself.

I doubt religion is even a factor there. Or to be precise, it doesn’t have to; it can be substituted. To me, it seems more like Kirei , despite fully devoting himself to fulfill the expectations of the organisation he has been born into, could not find himself. He could not be a person. He could not live according to his nature, which he only truly discovered after acting on his own desire and going against his organisation’s principles.
My point is, it would have been mostly the same if Kotomine was born into, say, a family of policemen.
Though I can’t seem to find the right section in the LN to dig deeper.
I understand your perspective, but I think it’s relevant to note that the church is very significant to Nasuverse lore. In addition, Fate Stay Night uses the church to emphasize how disparate Kirei’s true self is to his status in society. More significantly, however, Kirei chooses to ironically quote The Lord’s Prayer as Kiritsugu prepares to confront him. This is more relevant to his character then, say, Shinoa using the Lord’s Prayer before meals.

That’s one of my favorite scenes in Zero. It fits so well with the montage of everything happening, especially the grail scene. I like how many ways you can interpret it too. It’s hard to tell if he is being sincere in his quotation, or if he’s saying it in a mocking way.

Before the Camelot chapter in fate/grand order I would’ve said Extra Saber or Saber of black but now my favorite would have to be Bedivere
Cool Fate/Grand Order AMV I found
Also Fate Grand Order anime was announced
Anyways apparently I missed some of the discussion
Favorite series: I’m not that invested into the universe but I’d have to say UBW just cause of it’s nice animation and the way the episodes led up
Favorite Class: There’s a lot of Casters that I like (ie Nursery Rhyme, Medea Lily) so probably Casters
Favorite Servant: Someone like Kiyohime(From Fate Grand Order) I normally wouldn’t like but there’s something about her I have found appealing
Favorite Master: Does Gudako count?
Servant I hate the most: Rider of Black just cause[quote=“Takafumi, post:3, topic:1783”]
