Why was Medusa summoned as a Rider-class servant again?

>>17280548
She likes it on top. Srsly though in her mythology she gave birth to the winged pegasus Bellerophon through her bloody neck stump.

Because in the original myth she gave birth to Pegasus. Or maybe it was because she was good at "riding" and "being ridden", so to speak.

Nasu is a hack.

Yeah. Through the unrelenting pile of shits it churns out, a good design comes out once in a while.

I especially like this Medusa because its far more accurate to her myths.

>>17281786
There's one thing you gotta do to be like her myths. Have snakes for hair. That woman does not have snakes for hair.

>>17280548
Because I'm rock ha- wait, that doesn't make any sense.

FTFY

You might joke about this but it genuinely saddens me that most of the current Nip fanbase got into Type-Moon through a trashy cashgrab mobage with a self-insert, and most of them will only only stick to that. They deserve it for being normalfags and/or waifufags though, the sadder part is TM never doing another VN or attempting a real videogame ever again.

>>17280548
She has a strong connection with a mythical beast.

The classes in this setting aren't that literal.
Saber might be called Saber, but it's basically based on the idea of a Paladin.
The Archer class might be called Archer, but it's pretty much based on the old D&D type rogue. The skill based jack of all trades master of none type of deal. Which typically had a bow but not necessarily.
And so on. It shouldn't be shocking if the characters don't fit the class name to a T. And they are merely classes after all, not narrowly strict archetypes.

>>17283702
If it makes you feel better, those same people are throwing away hundreds to thousands of dollars just to maybe get their waifu.

>>17282032
Gorgons were sometimes described as incredibly beautiful, somewhat bird featured women. Medusa was supposedly cursed with the snake business, so I think that's actually a great design.

>>17283891
What about her F/SN design?

>>17283702
Mahoyo 2 never. Nasu was supposed to make 3 parts. Fuck.

I'm pretty sure Rider was supposed to be Perseus originally, which would have actually made sense. I believe this is why Perseus' weapon shows up in the item list, even though he's nowhere to be found in-story. I don't recall the story for why Perseus would have been switched out, except that square-eyed girls are sexier.

Type-Moon is now a souless husk of a company being controlled by Sony.

How does that make you feel?

Actually it was going to be Theseus first. Then it got changed to Perseus, then Medusa.

Medusa's original design seemed alright, but then Nasu and Takeuchi altered her design to fit with Nasu's fetish.

>>17289808
I never actually finished all the routes in any of their VNs or completed any of their games even though I've been shitposting about them on this site for over ten years. They were never really that great to begin with. It was just youthful hype and chuunibyou that kept anybody interested before it became mainstream commercialized shonen/waifubait for normalfags.

So it doesn't really feel particularly good or bad.

>>17289815
Original design looks like Ryougi.

>>17289808

i'm not terribly convinced there was much soul there to begin with

That's the reason why she gets so sexual with Ayako. Cause her original design looked like her and its supposed to be a joke.

>>17282493
Can someone please explain to me why I've seen people calling this character - the one in that video that's bigger than the earth with a horned headdress - the most powerful character in the Fate setting? I read her wiki page but I don't understand most of what's explained there.

>>17290001
Probably this. They're known for like 2 VNs and Melty Blood. The anime that have been made probably eclipse the VNs, and really they've just been riding on memes all these years.

>>17290187
Something something can't win against the pussy

>>17290422
>The anime that have been made probably eclipse the VNs
by which I mean more people are probably into them than the VNs/they're more well known for them than the VNs.

You know how in mind break doujins the bad guy always wins? He can be a schmuck with some drugs and she can be an incredible magic elf goddess and the outcome is still obvious? That's why.

Basically this. A copy paste of her abilities:

-Ten Thousand Colored Stagnation:
A heretic art once used by Kiara in a certain cyber world. Supposedly a medical software program that separates the target's body, mind, and soul, stripping the soul naked (unprotected by the body and mind) allowing her to find problems and solve them. Kiara absorbed these unprotected souls, taking care to taste them fully, saying this was salvation. The ultimate form of charm, or enthrallment. This power has grown stronger with her as a Beast.
The beauty of Kiara, now a tenma (the Seductive Bodhisattva) with mara (the crown of the beast) on her head, rocks the sanity, reason, and logic of those who see her. Those who see her, or are seen by her, have to roll for a check to see if they can uphold their selves. Like a sanity check, except a Kiara point check. Sight, taste, hearing, smell, and touch all have their own saving rolls, and even slightly feeling/thinking that Kiara is beautiful is an fail. The person loses sight of their self, and after a slight bout of dizziness completely lose all sense of balance and reality. They become a follower of Kiara standing on the palm of the Bodhisattva.
No matter how much power one has, it is meaningless before the power of a tenma. It is difficult for anything that has reason, anything that knows pleasure, or anything that knows pain to escape from this salvation. Of course, this salvation is not at all any form of saving. The mercy of the bodhisattva is how this is seen from its victims. To Kiara, the followers on her palm are nameless masses that are no more than insects.
-Authority of the Beast:
A skill also known as "anti-mankind"
-Logos Eater:
A trait of the Kairaku-ten. A special skill branching off from Banshoku Yuutai. Provides a damage buff against any intelligent being with intelligence (pleasure), regardless of scale or structure. This also has its rank fall as an Alter Ego, to C so that it's basically just touching. Foreplay.
-Nega-Saviour:
The result of a beast that decided to save only a world of its own, despite having the potential to be a Saviour. Completely negates all skills of Saviour and Ruler classes, increases chance of charm to all targets with magic below rank A by 300%, and increases all buff effects by Kiara by 200%.
-Karma Phage:
When Kiara's body became SE.RA.PH, she cut out her five senses - her erogenous zones - as skills, and gave them to others. She seems to have copied how BB cut out her love for humans and turned them into Alter-Egos. Frequently shortened to KP, they were named Body, Sight, Mouth, Spice and Organ. The Sentinels given these are able to use Kiara's authority, making them very powerful servants.

And her NP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec3R5qAwgC4

He originally intended for Fate to not have sexual content, but couldn't because then you pathetic virg scum wouldn't buy it

>>17313315
Don't try to sell to that market then.

You want money, provide the product that will sell to your potential buyers.

And if you want to keep selling to them, keep providing the product. Don't switch it up and start disparaging your original.

You lose your customer base that way.

>>17290531
You don't need to read them to have some vague awareness of them.

>>17313315
>He originally intended for Fate to not have sexual content,
I've never heard of this, source? Thought it was was, cute girl protag getting fucked by handsome men wouldn't sell as well as boy protag fucks some cute girls.

Why are all the lancers actually spearmen? Why do all of the archers shoot swords instead of arrows? What was Professor Utonium doing making little girls in the first place?

It's better than FSN for sure, but you're better off just reading it untranslated than waiting for Commie to decide to start working on pushing their shit out again. You could have learned Japanese in the time between the last update and now.

Commie project is a meme, it's a lie they never started to work on Mahoyo. I was talking about McJon, he is a translator from Beast's Lair who translated some chapters from Mahoyo but he's really slow.

>>17327832
Isn't McJon the one who says he doesn't even know Japanese, he's just really good at Google Translate? Or am I thinking of someone else?

>>17327864
Maybe you are talking about cokesakto who used google translation for the Kara no Kyoukai novel translation because he don't know a single word of japanese. McJon is a legit good translator, he's just slow as fuck.

>>17327955
I looked it up, I was thinking of some joke between Paitouch and some other guy.

>>17327832
Oh huh, that's pretty cool. I'd completely forgotten about Beast's Lair. The place looks as faggy as ever but I'm glad it's still around. At the rate he's going though it looks like it'll be a few years at least.
