Will a better character design ever exist?

There I fixed it for you.

Probably the worst thing to come out of fate and that's saying something.

She looks ugly compared to the original, desu.

It's already been taken care of.

Yes.

Fuck off, faggot.
This is the best Saber though.

Takeuchi please leave.
Is there a character that triggers the contrarianism of the /a/ masses more than Saber?
>>154684737
Yeah, Sakura.
>>154684673
>Lily outfit
>Excalibur
This is triggering me.
>>154684770
Unless you mean it triggers your penis I think you might have issues.
>>154684737
Probably Mikoto. She's the final boss. The Tom Brady equivalent when it comes to contenders in the Toumab Owl. If you like any other girl, you are forced to hate her by default.
>>154684673
>>154684817
Illya is so disgusting.
>>154684817
Can it be both?
>>154684859
Get a load of this gay.
>>154684125
The better design existed before Saber.
>>154684770
What's wrong with this again? Did Saber Lily not use Ekusukaribah?
>>154684125
Ahem.
>>154685024
Lily had Caliburn.
>>154685125
Why is she so long?
>>154684125
Offer thine head.

You actually like rhino?

>>154684125
I guess it's not really fair to compare them, though. Taiga's always been in a tier of her own.
>>154688606
Wrong image.
>>154688233
>Coming to /a/ to insult someone's sexual status
Holy shit. Actually kill yourself
So I haven't read Fate, but I'm assuming that since Normal Archer Emiya is probably from UBW, and Alter is probably Heavens Feel, Saberface Fate Route Emiya when?
>>154688606
Old hag.
>>154688752
Shiroe does not become Archer in any of the routes we see according to Nasu (though the "chance" is still there, it's basically 0%)..
>>154684320
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>154684320
Clones are merely copies, and cannot surpass the original.
>>154685125
I want to be patriotic with Arturia Pendragon!
>>154690944
>I never ate anything like this
There's a reason for that.
>>154684125
>>154684125
Easily.
Ahoges are cancer and those that seem to not even connect to the hair are the worst.
>>154691043
And the funny thing is
1. Bedivere liked Gawains cooking
2. He's the second best chef out of the knights of the round.
Which pretty much means none of them could really satisfy Saber anyway.
>>154691664
It's not as if Gawain was cooking anything particularly fantastic.
>>154684125
>>154684125
Fate has higher tier husbandos than waifus desu.
i mean i'm not even gay but imagine lancer taking you fishing.
>>154691055

thank god TM has almost completely forgotten about Tsukihime and it has remained untainted.
>>154692098
hence the almost
>>154688752
>So I haven't read Fate
Go read it before posting dumb shit then.
Fate route Shirou will never end up as Archer because according to the new ending he went to Avalon.
>>154691043
Is this CCC? I thought that didn't get translated?
>>154684125
I hope not, I spend enough on Saber figs already.
>>154685024
Lily had Caliburn, but Prisma is considered secondary-tertiary branch. so it doesn't matter.
>>154684260
I hope he gets more fan art.
>>154691945
Nasu hasn't forgotten, he wants *5 Arc in FGO for a collab.
>>154692538
It makes sense in story because Saber doesn't normally have Caliburn, hence her card shouldn't have it either.
>>154688935
Ironic that her weapon is just a copy of one of Gil's garbage weapons.
>>154684125
It's hard to do something more mediocre than this shit
>>154692701
The nigger couldn't swing a sword for shit, who cares what toy he has in stock.
Sabers design isn't even good, it's just forced into everything with all the recolors.
>>154692701
Excalibur is a Last Phantasm, not a copy of any of Gil's weapons. Caliburn is a copy of Gram, but Excalibur is Gram's equal.
>>154684125
I have to admit, there is something classic and effective about Saber's design, like she's always been around but the world was just waiting for her to be made, if that makes any sense. Same with Rin and Illya. It's only Sakura of the F/SN girls who's a bit unexceptional.
>>154692976
>but Excalibur is Gram's equal.
Caliburn is Gram's equal, not Excalibur. Excalibur is the Last Phantasm.
People will still remember Saber in 20 years so no
>>154692979
Blue and Gold is just a godlike color combination.
>>154693189
Because they keep shoving her into our faces.
>>154692979
Rin is just garbage twintails tsundere in design.
>>154693411
You do realise the reason why 'twintails tsundere' is a cliche is because of Rin, right?
Better than original
>saber will never teach you how to swing a sword
this is unrelated to what i just said, but is saber bisexual?
i remember reading somewhere that all servants were either bi or pan.
>>154692976
>>154693045
Gram is explicitly equal to Excalibur in FSN, unless Excalibur is not the strongest holy sword.
>>154690944
I cant find sauce. I know its some UBW comic but I cant find it.
>>154684205
Saber is really just a clone of that chick from that Final Fantasy game, though
>>154684179
I don't think Fate would be where it is without Saber. Anyone not familiar with the series just knows it as "that shit with the female King Arthur"
>>154693478
I'm pretty sure red bitch from Eva takes that prize
>>154694476
I can never figure out what's so damn appealing about his character
>>154694520
She's important, but probably co-equal to Rin. The wave of tsundere-style characters in the mid-'00s is probably attributable to her.
>>154694570
Its the pauldrons
>>154694476
>king of cucks.
>>154694632
That would make Rin just an expy of her then, wouldn't?

Kill yourself.

>over 7 hours later
Anon please
>>154692443
Partial screenshots of the early game that have been worked on but it amounted to nothing.
There are some shots of the final moments of the game TL'd and the english text lazily put over the original
>>154694776
>the goddess of sex got pissy when he rejected her
>>154694801
Visually speaking? Maybe the twintails, but Rin's quite different looking and has a WAY better overall design than Asuka, to be honest. Asuka's plugsuit is fine but her normal clothes aren't really iconic like Rin's have become. Pretty sure Rin inaugurated the zettai ryouiki as a tsundere thing too, which has been copied as much as the twintails.
In terms of character, definitely not. It wasn't really a well-established archetype in 2004, and Rin is a pretty different character from Asuka. One of the reasons why a lot of fans bitched about Shana, Louise, Taiga etc. was because they were way more cookie-cutter than older tsundere like Rin or Kyou from Clannad and just acted in the same bipolar way.
>>154691654
>Ahoges are cancer
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
>>154695398
You're delusional if you think Rin has more starpower and recognizability than Asuka
>>154695800
>starpower and recognizability
I'm talking about design and influence *within* the industry, not mainstream recognition or 'starpower'. Evangelion is basically mainstream in Japan, but within otaku subculture, F/SN is probably only marginally less influential. Rin's design and character directly influenced a wave of tsundere. It's like Nanoha in that regard—not especially mainstream, but inescapably dominant within the subculture.
>>154694776
He didn't post Artoria.
>>154693478
Rin is a shitty Asuka clone and all the clones that came after Asuka, you retarded newfag.
>>154693532
>using that high school tier translation
KEK. Excalibur has no equal, that's the fucking point of being the Last Phantasm. Gram is just another shitty demonic sword which was connected to Caliburn.
>>154696709
It wasn't until Rin that tsundere really exploded as gimmick. Rin isn't much like Asuka anyway.
>>154696013
You do know that FSN and Eva are 10 years apart and the tsundere wave with featured twin tails are Pre Rin? Rin herself is just a result of that, you fucking idiot.
>>154696794
You're wrong. FSN was a niche, literal who VN until the anime adaptation, anyway. Even Nasu says most of his fanbase never touched the VN.
>>154692979
Joan of Arch, "Virginal" cares for others, not interested in material gain/status, for its own sake, for herself. It's written in the fabric of the cosmos.
>>154696855
What? F/SN was one of the top-selling VNs at the time and quite eagerly anticipated after Tsukihime, which *was* a niche doujin game. It wasn't literally who at all. It's exactly the kind of thing that would have a Velvet Underground-effect on content creators.
>>154696825
>10 years apart
Yes? It's 9 years, actually, but what's your point? Asuka is an iconic character, but she's neither the first tsundere nor the reason why we got a flood of tsundere characters in the mid-to-late '00s. 'Tsundere' didn't actually come into common use until around 2001-02 because of the VN boom, which had lots of characters that started harsh and became soft. If you want to retroactively find the 'first tsundere', it *definitely* wasn't Asuka since they'd already been characters like that in older anime. Asuka popularised a certain character archetype to an extent, but Rin was way more important in contemporaneously defining what specifically the word 'tsundere' meant.
>>154684125
Not even the best in that series.

Which one? The only blonde swordswoman I can think of off the top of my head is Celes from VI and they're not really that alike.
>>154701858
Agrias of Tactics
>>154702615
Oh right
>>154697301
Not him, but Fate wasn't even famous enough back to spawn any clones, now fuck off
>>154684260
Why is he so perfect?
>>154702615
Thge original and the best before saber was even thought of.
>>154704253
By that logic neither was Nanoha, which is obviously not true because Nanoha did influence otaku subculture, just not really by spawning a ton of direct imitators. F/SN was the biggest selling VN of 2004, and Rin came to define tsundere at that time, which was then a new term. Incidentally, the first girl to be called a tsundere by Japanese otaku is generally alleged to be Ayu from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, not Asuka.
>>154694520
Asuka doesn't have twintails.
>>154685125
Luvia Edelfelt pleases Tsundere Maji for free.
>>154684236
best cripple
Saber is fucking awful and a plague to modern character designs. Everyone wants that type moon dosh, so they shit out a blonde swordswoman design for their own series and call it a unique character.
