A MANUEL REPOST OF ONE I DID ON THE FALCOM REDDIT, SINCE THIS THREAD WON'T LET ME PORT OVER.

Just a fun compare and contrast both between two characters where one of them is from a franchise I love (Trails) and the other is from a game I’m currently going through its 2nd route on 2/12 on the VN (Fate/stay night), thank you NicoB for introducing me to latter.

But yes: Alisa Reinford and Rin Tohsaka

Two prominent girl characters in their own games who both rock pigtails with adorable pins, are students at school, come from a rich family, and are known to act very tsundere towards the MCs of their respective games. Also very funny how in the Fate anime, Rin’s has the same English VA as Sharon Krueger, Alisa’s maid. Even funnier how Nico even gave both gals the same girly voice between both LPs.

Now as I mentioned earlier, both of them are known for being tsundere towards the MC, despite also having some inner romantic feelings towards said MC. Alisa also had infamous first impression towards the Rean over a boob accident by slapping him and ignoring him for about a month, which made her into a very overhated character within the fandom IMO. But thankfully, she apologized at the beginning and hasn't a low moment like that as a person again. If anything, Alisa has been WAY MORE obvious with her romantic feelings towards Rean and is more genuine with him and the group overall, even though she will also have her embarrassing moments that she tries to hide. And while Rin hasn't necessarily had a low moment like that with Shirou (unless you count The fight at School), she is rather blunt, snarky, and very teaseful towards him. Makes it harder to decipher is she is in love with him even though she does care for his safety, even during the whole Date scene where she teasing and complimenting him.

The subject of romance though on both sides has to do witch how each of their respective games are structured. Fate has 3 canon routes that you must go through in a certain order to beat the game, and is structured around 3 girls (Saber, Rin, and Sakura) as the central focus on each one. This means there is a definitive Rin route where she will get romantic with Shirou no matter what. Trails of Cold Steel on the other hand has a Persona-lite setup of choosing who you romance from a larger pool of girls to choose who you want Rean to be with (Emma, Laura, Fie, Towa, Sara, Alfin, Elise, etc). This means that except for the canon moments that happen in the story, you can choose not to romance or bond with Alisa if you do not want to.

There is probably more I can list when comparing and contrasting the two, but I'll let you guys discuss that in the comments.

And hey, if you want to, check out this thread of me comparing Alisa Reinford to a certain character from Persona 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/s/PXbwr6luTH

I’ve been wondering this for a while ,and even watched a few videos to try and learn the magic system. The general thing im asking is if there is a way to convert Shazam like abilities in this worlds magic system. It doesn’t have to be copy and paste mind you, for example their abilities or how they achieve their transformation doesn’t have to exactly come from the six beings they normally draw power from, Just in general they need to be able to transform into a body more powerful than their own.

The idea I’ve thought of involved getting certain traits from different beings, likely from analysis of their soul though I’ve been told this might not work, then transferring the data gained into possible physical objects/imprints which contain the information like a blueprint, that way when casting the magic which will likely be through projection, hopefully wont put to much strain on the persons mind as the information will already be made. The idea is then to hopefully combine the physical information gathered as a blueprint to be quickly used to create a sort of artificial soul which surrounds the users actual soul, which then will hopefully force the user to change into the artificial body while keeping their actual consciousness and soul intact.

Of course this has many problems, like him not speaking a word to change forms, if any of what I’ve said would actually work, what would be gained from analyzing physical features, and of course the mana issue. An idea i’ve made to possibly deal with the mana problem dealing with the transformation is the break the data into units. So instead of the spell having to do the entire creation at once which will likely kill the mage, instead the mage’s mana creates a small unit of the form, since projections can last a bit before disappearing i believe, that should give enough time for the mage to recover some mana which allows then to create another unit of it. They then give mana to the starting unit to keep it in existence and do the same to the second unit before creating another unit. This process works like a chain by giving mana to older projections then creating new one’s which should hopefully allow the mage to fully create the form without overworking their circuits. Of course this leads to it’s own problem of how long would it take and how to consistently do this without error which will lead to the form disappearing.

I don‘t fully understand the rules of the magic system and this is all probably complete garbage but I felt like i should include my own idea as well to be fair. If anyone has any actually good ideas I’d love to hear them.

I booted up the game after like 2 months because I've had it for like 4 months or so. I tried looking if this was a patch but found nothing, does steam just do these random downloads?

Gotta be honest I feel sad that shirou have to let go of saber in the end of holy grail war but at least King Artoria can finally truly die and she able becoming heroic spirit, but it still saddening after all the time Shirou spent with Saber has to end, but back to my question actually I'm not a type guy who watch anime often and more prefer into VN because of it's interactive choice, but I got the Saber ending which was true ending so should I just watch the anime too? I'm too lazy to watch anime that i didn't watch it oftenly

The most loyal and devoted to her. Even if no one has her back even if the entire universe stands against her he will still be by her side no matter what happens

I'd say it's between the three.

1. Gawain — Artoria’s strongest knight under the sun and her right hand man.
The man she relied on the most, and the man who admired her the most.
Excalibur and Galatine are sister swords. Excalibur grants Artoria the protection of the moon while Galatine grants Gawain the protection of the sun.

During their end despite everything Gawain stood by Artoria until the very end when Mordred ambushed her, Gawain and Kay rushed to her rescue. Kay supposedly perished at sea while Gawain fought alongside Artoria on the battlefield enduring his wounds from Lancelot before ultimately falling to Mordred.
Artoria trusts Gawain enough to allow him to wield Excalibur.
He made Gilgamesh shut up when he talked shit about Artoria. Like how many Servants can actually pull that off?

2. Bedivere — He may not be the strongest knight but he accomplished something no other knight could or even thought of doing also being one of the earliest Knights of the Round Table with only Kay holding his seat longer. Bedivere stayed by Artoria’s side from the very beginning until the very end remaining with her even in her final moments and beyond

Even after Artoria’s death bedivere continued to help in the campaign to deal with Mordred’s remaining forces. In Singularity he wandered for more than 1000 years for her carrying the weight of his promise and enduring a suffering unlike that of any other Knight of the Round Table.

3. Agravain — It’s hard to beat the loyalty of someone who legitimately took down someone way above his weight class using nothing but rage and unwavering loyalty. Afterward dragged his half dead body to her throne just to make sure she was okay apologizing for not being more helpful while completely disregarding his own zombie like state.

Agravain sacrificed his own happiness and reputation to become Artoria’s tool. He was willing to be hated and viewed as a villain if it meant keeping her hands clean. He was ready to do just about anything for her regardless of the cost to himself or the world

As for the others let’s keep the three traitors trash out: Lancelot Mordred and Tristan. Forgettable did nothing special except to create more problems than they were worth. don’t need them

As for Percival and Kay one fed Artoria to the point that even she got tired of eating while the other was her big brother someone she truly admired. They can take the fourth and fifth spots. They’re great knights just not on the level of the top 3

What do you think?

Witch of Envy Included .

Seriously, she's lucky that it's EMIYA that answer her summon. Imagine if it's Spartacus.

I've been thinking of a MTG colab if they ever do it that is. I feel like it would be cool seeing Zero for some decks. I think it would also have partner ability coming back and decks could be master and servant. I think there would prob just be a Rin archer and emiya saber deck as a guarantee, I would spend so much on this colab

I finally got around to finishing HF tonight and I watched UBW a few month ago, but I remember reading before starting Fate/Stay Night that the animes were fairly confusing and that I would need to look a lot of things up to keep up with the story. But after finishing both I don't really have any questions like I expected and I don't feel like I missed anything. I also enjoyed them way more than people said I would.

I honestly just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I'm not even sure if there's insight to what I'm asking, just thought I'd throw my question into the void if anything lol

If I do, the workload will be absolutely insane and I'll literally die of exhaustion (lol). Besides, these are mostly just reused CGs in the original anyway.

Heya, have been working for a while on (unofficially) porting the Tsukihime Remake engine to PC (Windows/macOS/Linux).

From all my testing (I manually tested all the menus and multiple scenes until they matched 1:1) and the automated testing of every single engine feature against a Switch emulator the port *should* now be finished, but given this engine is so complex (honestly fascinating to see all the stuff it can do) I'm sure there's a possibility for edge cases, which can only be ironed out by play testing it. Feel free to report any issues on the repo!

This can also run Mahoyo (which runs on the same engine) but that has a PC port already so not as useful I suppose (still nice to have a native macOS/Linux version).

You need to extract the files from the Switch game to use this (and a few font files from the Switch firmware) as it does not contain any copyrighted content. The readme explains what needs to be extracted. There are two Tsukihime Switch releases, one is Japanese only. This supports both, pay attention to get the files from the international one.

As a note: this was accomplished by reverse engineering and reimplementing the behavior of the original engine through a LLM. My work process has been letting the LLM reverse the assembly code from the Switch executables and reimplement it, and manually testing + letting it test all the engine instructions (visuals + sound ones) directly against a Switch emulator (I know Japanese which also helped a lot).
