I am planning on starting a community based around Fate and I was wondering if it could gain attraction.
I would fill it up with content by myself if need be, but this seems like a good idea to ask around beforehand simultaneously bringing attention that I have plans for a fate community and learning if I should focus on introducing people to fate or just continuing as if people know about it already
Big fan of the anime, waiting for a good sale on the remaster VN and used to be a big fan of FGO (still am storywise, but not the actual game part). Not sure if a Fate community is necessary (I wouldn't be very interested) or if it's even a good idea. The federation stuff can make niche communities pretty hard to find, so it'd be hard to gain traction.
Ya, seems that way
I'll probably post guides and do random posts instead
Although, having a community wouldn't be too high maintenance, and I could cross post too
I've seen most of the older shows from the Studio Deen stuff up through the 13 episode Rail Zeppelin spin-off or thereabouts. Never got to most of the movies other than the old UBW adaptation. I'm aware of FGO, but my opinion of gacha can be summarized as "fuck that" so I've ignored it beyond what's occasionally popped up via fan art posts.
If there's something about the shows you want to talk about, I'd rather you just post threads here than start a new community.
I've watched Fate Zero and Unlimited Blade Works
I tried watching Fate Stay Night but never made it past episode 1. I dont remember why.
I played Fate Extra on the PSP via PPSSPP, and I actually enjoyed the game but I havent been able to finish it yet. I heard somewhere it is getting a remake, so I am curious to see how that turns out.
Outside of this, I have very minimal knowledge of Fate as a series. All I know is that Fate started originally as an eroge/visual novel, the series is made by Type Moon, and that the series features characters named after real historical figures that are usually women (in other words, even if a real historical figure is a man, in the Fate series there is a really high probability that they will be a woman). Also something about real names needing to stay secret so they use really basic code names like "Saber," "Archer," "Caster," etc.
I've personally only watched Fate/Zero. Which was pretty good.
You obviously can't get more than peak itself but I would suggest checking would unlimited blade works too
Yes. But I am not a hardcore fan. Out of the franchise, Lord el Melloi case files are my fav, and i plan on being mostly up to date with fake/strange as it airs
Twink death is real they turned waver into a bri'ish gamer professor
I started with the Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn
If you watch Fate/Stay Night, just be careful as there are 5 series out and here are their differences:
- Zero - takes place 10 years before FSN. Would actually suggest watching it after FSN but you can watch it before. It expands on the Grail War
- Fate/Stay Night (The OG) - Came out in 2006, the original VN had 3 “paths” and all of them ended up animated, but you had to play through them in order. This one is the base, focuses on Saber and is probably your best intro to the Fate franchise
- Unlimited Blade Works - this is the second path that focuses on Rin. There was a movie and an anime series. The movie is okay, but highly compressed. The anime has earned the nickname “Unlimited Budget Works” because of how awesome the fight scenes are animated. This one is by far my favorite
- Heaven’s Feel - this was a trio of movies that in the final path and focuses on Sakura. This one was the darkest of all the paths imo. The first movie had a good set up, second was awesome, third was just an okay landing
Of course there are a multitude of spin offs, some related, some not. Basically I like to look at them all independently with just an understanding of what the “Fate” concept is and enjoy them from there.
