Fate/Extra CCC
« on: April 14, 2013, 12:34:23 AM »
So yeah, the game is officially out now and looks pretty awesome. Get hype~

Talk about it here. Since the game just came out and is yet to be localized, however, make sure to post all spoilers in spoiler tags.

Nothing to comment on the game proper (heck, I haven't even played/watched a playthrough of vanilla EXTRA), but the opening song, Sakura Meikyuu, has been stuck in my head for days. It's simply amazing.

personally i'm fed up with the gil whoring Nasu has done, we had archer, saber and a caster in the first game, we get another archer in this game, and supposedly he has the sum of all human knowledge or some such...weak. i'm i the only one who thinks that's dumb?

Yeah, I do like the opening song. The video is interesting too, with all the weird Biology stuff.

CCC in general does look very interesting (especially with the true end being what it is), I wish I was more in touch with what is going on....

Yeah, I'm not sure why he felt the need to dump Gil in there, honestly. I'm not sure what role he plays....

Gil seems to play a fourth wall mode type character if BL is to be believed.

Yeah, that's the impression I got. I dunno why they put him in there, though, is he just really popular?

possible zero made him such, still I don't get the point, Gil is a good character because he's a bad guy. making him the MC's buddy kills that.

The impression I got is that he's a "steamrolling the enemy with shit and spoilers" character. AFAIK, he somehow figures out what the heck is happening in the game and is not shy of spouting plot twists before they are revealed and saying things that'll only confuse first-time players (hence why Nasu himself recommended not chosing Gil in your first playthrough).

so then he's worthless to play as until the end, I mean the other three have character development to see so gil is a last play character.

He's also not nerfed. So while people consider Saber to be "easy mode" (great stats and skills), Archer "normal mode" (average), Caster "hard mode" (bad stats, depends on spell spamming to do damage), Gil would be "overkill mode".

Not necessarily "last play", as such, but definitely not first play. Also, I think Gil does actually have character development to some extent....

Yeah, I saw that Ea was basically an insta-kill....

I'm not a huge Gil fangirl really, but Gil does at least have the stuff where he reveals what's going on behind the scenes plus his back story to entice people into playing with him as their servant. Plus his CGs for completionists. :D

Yeah, I can understand that part. :) But yeah, there's plenty of reasons to use Gil, even if you don't like the guy. :) Though I have to admit, the Cast Off! scene is gold, even if you're not too fond of Goldie. :3
