It's a shitty, warped version of the franchise with everything interesting and all passion sucked out in virtue of having as many hot characters as possible so that horny, stupid otaku spend their NEETbucks on it. It's LN-tier cancer on the industry. FGO is like the star-wars prequels, stupid people defend it because they think that bigger scale and more flashing lights on screen makes anything better.

Phrases become dated and forgotten what a shock.

>>150569450
Literally the only thing you have going for you with this is it being a mobage.
"Shitty servants with shallow backstories" like they aren't always based on sometimes shallow mythology
Genderbend everything is hardly a problem with started with F/GO, looking at you, Extra, so you can't really count it as a mark on GO at least
Solomon might be Grand Caster but he's still plenty beatable with the right servants - and keep in mind stuff like Garden of Avalon is happening anyway and keeping the OG Saber as the strongest servant anyway, with how Excalibur can unlock like Prototype's to defend the world.
Nasu was never even good, you can tell by the writing of Stay Night itself. The only thing that got Fate off the ground as "ghosts of mythological heroes and villains play a game of life and death." You literally can't fuck that up, and Nasu knew that. He's always been shit leaning on a pretty much infallibly cool idea.

Again, FGOfags always resort to this. "It's not only this that is marketed to retards, all anime is!!". "The backstories aren't shallow, the problem is with mythology!!!!" "The problem isn't with FGO, Fate and Nasu were ALWAYS SHIT!!!". Stop trying to throw everything under the bus to justify the existance of your shitty mobage. It's mass-produced garbage made by a boardroom of executives to lure in retards, and you're the retard being lured in. You should feel ashamed at yourself.

There is hardly any OC on 4chan now, except /sp/ and /pol/ really.

Alright.
Name one "mass produced shitty servant" for F/GO and why they are as such.

And Gilgamesh or Arturia are two off the top of my head that could probably beat Solomon, but then again, Fate was more about the situation than who had a higher power level after all.

But really, you keep saying all this about F/GO, and justifying it being shitty like you're defending the rest of Fate even. Are you? Or are you just mad for the sake of it? Again, name one shitty mass produced servant and why.

>>150568226
Fuck off, you probably think Zero is a masterpiece you faggot.

>>150569817
Yeah, I've kinda been thinking about it too, back when 4chan was still relatively young people did way more OC than today, though I'd say today we've got more drawfags than 10 years ago, drawfag threads are also more common across the major boards.
Still, I miss the old OC based on silly templates, we don't have nearly enough nowadays.

>>150569833
Attila. Literally "get Attila and make him a hot girl in a bikini and get a popular artist to draw him".

>And Gilgamesh or Arturia are two off the top of my head that could probably beat Solomon, but then again, Fate was more about the situation than who had a higher power level after all.
Of course, because Japanese otaku love Gil and Arturia, so they have to pander.

>But really, you keep saying all this about F/GO, and justifying it being shitty like you're defending the rest of Fate even. Are you? Or are you just mad for the sake of it? Again, name one shitty mass produced servant and why.
I am defending the rest of Fate because i genuinely think it's a great series. I'm a huge fan, i have been for years. And it pains me deeply to see the most popular part of the entire series to be a shitty mass produced mobage instead of the good parts. Granted, it's still not the most popular, but it's on the way to being. So every time i see some stupid dipshit defending it, it makes me really fuckign mad.

Say what you will about the original Fate, but it was clearly a genuine attempt to create something that had something to say. Shiro had a legitimately good (not great, but it IS still a VN) character arc, and the way it was spread across three different timelines that you had to read in order was done pretty well. Nasu also obviously cared about the world he'd built for it, Tsukihime, Kara no Kyokai, etc. There are tons of setting material things out there, and it's largely consistent with itself.

It's no masterpiece, and is kinda schlocky, but it was authentic.

Grand Order is a cash grab. I won't say it doesn't have any effort put into it (apparently it's very good for a mobage), but it doesn't have anything meaningful to say and it doesn't mesh with the established Nasuverse that was built up in his past works.

As the clearest example, that people who haven't played the game can see, just look at the character designs. The character with the most blatant sex appeal used be F/SN Rider. Now, pic related.

I mean, it's Nasu's franchise, he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it, but that doesn't mean we can't call it out for what it is.

(That's not to say there aren't other cash-grabby Fate spinoffs, there are, but none of them have such a large and rabid fanbase that derails any attempt to talk about other shit in it.)

It's already too late. There was a Bloomberg article done yesterday on FGO comparing it to Pokemon Go. If you haven't dropped Fate, be prepared for having FGO be the only thing that matters because that's where all the serious money is. TM is dead as a company and so is pretty much everything else they do unless they can prove that the money won't change how they do things.

Hint: It already has. Good luck ever getting anything beyond Fate rehashes. Tsukihime remake is dead

>>150571365
My only hope is that Nasu rakes in tons of cash with FGO and then starts making whatever the fuck he wants with what is now for him relative pocket change, even if he knows it will fail for not pandering hard enough.

My fear is that being rich will go to his head and he'll just dick around doing nothing productive until the end of his days.

You think the latter hasn't already happened? Look at everything we had gotten since Fate's release in 2004.

You can count the number of original works released by TM on one hand.

>>150571603

You say that it will come out but where is the proof? They've only been posting new art and ever since TM formally announced it a little before their first PV 3 YEARS AGO teasing the remake.

Your concern about translation is a genuine one but it's no good if the original work won't come out in the first place to be translated.

Type moon ACE. Every new volume now has information about remake. And Mahou was announced in 2007/2008 - released in 2012. As you can see Mahou is still untranslated. Modern Nasu's writing is too hard for average translators. And This is shortest type moon VN

I'm not sure the old adage of "quality over quantity" really applies here, especially with the amount of time official companies take to release stuff vs fan translation.

On the one hand, at least the creators are getting some money out of it, which is good.

On the other, asshole profiteers who underpay for translations do too (when they aren't just using edited fan translations to begin with).
