Happy Holiday!🎊🎉🎎💝
You know, I hope you get into the stories of Punishing: Gray Raven or Arknights(especially the latter). Seriously, the story and lore of Arknights is some of the best I've read in a long, long time.
Gigguk: Now where does THIS fit on the timeline.
Yes
That's the neat thing, it doesn't 😂
@@xo-1320Literally. The material book says it’s a ‘To Be Pruned’ timeline.
Bit depressing, honestly.
@@Cyclonestorm8sorry if this dumb to ask but what does to be pruned mean
@rhyssuy8361 The universe diverges too far from the Primary human history, as such it is to be pruned like a problematic branch of a tree.
The ending where Iori dies is a good way to do an evil route ending due to how it's built up right from the start with Musashi hinting how Iori is born in the wrong era and lots of other characters also dropping hints like Chiemon and Yoshinaka. Heck, the story has a clever theme with day and night representing peace and bloodshed that Iori finds himself between, something is hinted at by the lyrics of the opening and shown throughout the story. Iori either manages to accept that the age of violent conflict is over and moves away from the night or cannot escape it, thus being reduced to a corpse before morning when his sister finds him. Yui also comments during Saber and Iori's duel about how the light she saw in him turned out to be moonlight. Love how they used night and day within the story to reflect it with the HGW starting at night when Iori encounters Rider and ends with the break of dawn with him either walking away or dead long before it. Nothing mind-blowing but a cool attention to detail.
Also, Yoshinaka lives up to his title of Asash Shogun or Shogun of the Morning Sun since he wanted a peaceful time like Iori's era to be with Tomoe and gives him some advice in his farewell letter about how evil comes from evil intentions that is in both oni and human. Such a good way to integrate him into the story while using the little info about him we learn from Tomoe's monologues in Shimousa.
Samurai Remnant is a game about wasted characters. There's so much focus on Iori and Takeru that the remaining cast is completely ignored. Other Master-Servant pairs have no agency and don't attempt to take each other out. Since other Servants aren't presented as actual threats, it makes Iori and Takeru weaker than they should be. The only 2 tense moments where Iori is even remotely in danger are when Saber gets affected by Tsuchimikado's spell and when Saber's affected by Caster's conceptual (not really) attack and even then Saber snaps out of it almost instantly. It makes the Caster team look like the biggest idiots since Tsuchimikado's spell only worked on Archer (and briefly on Saber) and 5/8 rogue Servants (everyone else resisted it) and he decided to send them 1 by 1 instead of keeping them a united front to attack Saber or defend his base. Rogue Servants are completely wasted as well, only Gil, Samson and Yoshinaka have any real roles, you could replace or remove others without affecting anything in the story.
It's nice to see the Savior of France again even though he's reduced to being a cameo in the MC's tragic backstory
A slight correction here, Miyamoto Musashi is NOT the swordsman that killed the gang. He was adopted by Musashi some time after that night and he wish to surpass the sword skill he saw that night, which he still strive for after beating female Musashi.
The cutscene literally shows male Musashi tho.
@@otakudaikun It shows the unknown swordsman leaving, and Iori fail to find him, then cut to him training with Musashi.
@@onepointsix3684 Yeah but the dude Iori chases and Musashi look like the exact same guy.
@@otakudaikun bruh he only has one sword, different hair style(curvy hair vs straight), and the line "The bladework from that night, I will surpass it with my master's Niten Ichiryu."
@@onepointsix3684 Okay fair enough I do see the slight difference. It's frustrating that his savior just has to be a long, grey haired samurai, too.
I somehow placed an assumption in my head that Takeru's genderless state was a provoked curse placed by some of the gods he slayed. The many ways Nasu manages to bend the rules of his own lore must be studied, its hard to rant Plot Device against him (*cough* except for Seig probably).
Yamato and Iori are now my favourit pair in all of Fate. Both are so cool and capable. And Yamato is now my most favourit Saber. And I really like the ending of the snake route. Dorotheas and Chengs discussion at the end was really nice. But the third ending was really said. But we all know, what the best ending was. The Babilonya ending is clearly the best of all. 😂😂
I really enjoyed not only the video, but also how expressive Dai's avatar has become. Having this pretty much full body model really makes all the gesticulation come through very well using parts of body language like shifting body weight and feet (there is a reason why the Roman grand master of rhetoric, Hortensius Hortalus, was also nicknamed "the dancing master").
Honestly I had been waiting for this, played the game through all stories and loved it! Still can’t wait to see what the DLC episodes will bring.
I haven’t gotten my own copy of the game yet, due to managing finances, but this makes up for it! This makes me want the game more, so, I know what I’m getting next! Nice work, Dai.
A slight correction. Takao and musashi found samson's weakness from dorothea who deduced his identity and weakness. The rest of the vid helps clear some things I have been confused of.
Honestly I hope they make another game like this. Maybe set in ancient Rome.
It was really fun to play tbh and I liked the story that was going down, currently NG+ it to get Iori’s Route.
A Caster who refutes the concept of Mystery blasphemy
Last time I was so early it was unusual to multiple Servants fighting in a HGW in their own homecountry.
Last time I was so early sole survivors of their home regions had the same tendency to turn into Masters associated with swords.
Last time I was so early Grail Front was a part of purely turn based combat and not to set up action RPG combat scenarios.
Last time I was so early Doc Oc did not develop such a massive rack later in live (we love you Ushi Gozen).
I love how Dai-kun starts every video with "Welcome back to OtakuDaiKun... Die here!"
Never thought about that, this is a good one 🤣
Perfect timing. Was wondering if you had a video on this game and lo and behold, you did.
Been waiting for this lore! Got save it for later tho still on my 2nd run. Great work dai keep it up
this video was amazing, i did not even notice how much i watched before the video ended
5:08 Or as he more rightfully should be called Master of the sharpened oar, Hero of the blinding sun, or Progenitor of being a hack!
Dai your videos are always amazing ❤
To think that one of Abe No Seimei's Descendants followed the footsteps of Ashiya Douman/Limbo in FGO during the Heian Kyo...
I mean Abe No Seimei's the rival of Ashiya Douman so to have his descendant to control servants like how Limbo controlled half of the servants during the second half of Heian Kyo is basically disgracing his line
I mean, it more like Shimosa with limbo
fantastic summary, that cleared up a lot of questions i had
That was a great lore video and it makes me want to get the game even more although it surprised me that the hardest "true" ending was the saddest of all.
Awesome lore vid Dai. Normally I absolutely hate spoilers , but when it come to this one I couldn't help myself even though I've only finished the prologue lol. It did leave me with one question though and that being, when is Abe no saemei going to learn to stop leaving his stuff laying around? Caint wait for the next lore vid
I fking love Gil so much
dude was summoned to mediate a grail war and decides to be a mechant instead... why? because he just can dammit!
I absolutely love your Fate Lore videos and this one has to be one of my favorites! I loved Samurai Remnant so much and especially takeru, but i have to ask what is the out you have takeru with in the gameplay sections was it a preorder thing or a mod perhaps because it looks so nice on them
Preorder outfit, yeah.
ah ok thank you! still looks fantastic on takeru ^^ @@otakudaikun
So, instead of hiring a cleaning lady, you developed a technique that reached beyond true magic. that's absurd!
Cleaning lady?
@@otakudaikun UBW Abridged
Hey, I'm just the wraith here. I didn't write this story.
Been waiting for a lore video to help make sense of everything. I hope there are some DlC for some more endings. While I enjoyed the final bosses, the endings felt a little lackluster to me.
Samurai Remnant Collab Welfare Servant: Saber Miyamoto Iori, Noble Phantasm: Niten Ichiryu Tsubame Gaishi
Favorite masters in this game are dayu snd Dorothea. Amazing designs and characters. I wss expecting dayu to be a political player that takes power after we defeat someone else in the district but no she ess just s cool gal who wanted to make her place better for the girls. The musashi scene with the command seals was great but honestly dumb for musashi wasting her life when we still had enemies to fight.
Dorothea meanwhile is just so interesting to see an old magus from clock tower and how they act. Especially the dlc chapter where we see how japanese servants see western magic.
Favorite servant aside gil as he's always great is aria. They finally used a tamamo face and she is us one of the best characters in game seeing her goal just be something so basic and cute.
Servant design wise all of the main are great.
Also circe still being one of the best girls just existing is great
Nah, the Dorothea scene is still great. Musashi was already being pulled away by her forced universe hopping, she wasn’t gonna remain in the world long enough to face any more foes. One last duel is all she could stick around for, and one last duel is all she wanted. So Dorothea’s gift wasn’t wasted.
@@MHSchonbergdayu is the one you mean you didn't even care enough to check and that was twice.
Still a bad scene. Done better by ishkander and waver as musashi should have helped us especially with how many enemies are around. That's like artoria leaving after beating Medusa
Scene was great for dayu not musashi as she basically left us to fend for ourselves. Not the worst scene in game that was us not destorying the grail as plot and those very foes we didn't beat with musashi came around. It all swings around to it being a dumb scene for musashi. Plus three command seals dayu could easily have set musashi back. They work that way if you read ha or fsn
Also Dorothea was extra big brain knowing how to use a servant who would definitely betray her by command sealing him. Take note sakura misaya and kirie.
When lori becomes a Servant were definitely getting an alter based in his end less war wish
I would love to see game like that with Fate/Stay Night or Heaven field and Grand Order were each Singularity was a game with the Servants from them to PS5
Absolutely adore this game and is my fav of the Fate franchises console games
I just realized that there are a lot of Reality Marble users now. I thought they were super rare or hard to even achieve/attain? 😮😅
I blame FGO for that.
@@otakudaikun it would have been better if they said a reality maybe is predominately owned by legendary generals in history
Yoshinaka is such a stand up guy. I can’t wait to reunite him with his precious Tomoe! 🥰
Think fgo dev team will be interested fsr characters and expand upon them.
Wish I was able to play this myself, but seeing as how I can’t, at least for now, this is the next best thing !
Finished the game, can finally watch this!
the evil route ending due with Takeru was a shockingly impactful experience from beginning or the end. Esp throughout the game it is obvious that Iori have it in him to be f up just so he can stay in a world where he can swing his sword to the max forever. But with taht being said, I hope only the Ray of Light ending is cannon, because Dorothea is waifu loll
Miyamoto musashi Berserker was the Highlight for me.❤
Seeing this gave me a Musashi-style smile!
Still planning on getting this game.
This will be nice to listen to while I TRY and get my last trophy in Samurai/Remnant.
God, why didn't they have a percentage in the Logbook....
Hey, Dai, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the time and effort that you put into making this lore video and thank you for all that you do.
So, Yui does die in all three endings? Considering that she's a homunculus, she already has a short lifespan. In the second ending, Ray of Light, she dies while basking from the light of Iori's visage. In the first and third endings, she will die eventually.
That's my understanding of it.
@@otakudaikun
Yeah. The second ending has Yui using up her remaining lifespan helping Iori and Takeru destroy the Waxing Moon Grail (and destroying Hiera-no-Are and his Dragon thing), where she then dies while basking in the light of Iori's visage.
Now that I think of it, what happened to Chiemon in the second ending? Jeanne Alter was temporarily out of commission from the injury she took while Chiemon fled after Yui took his attack.
@@rickynguyen5108 When Yui takes the attack, Iori quickly slits Chiemon's neck
This needs an anime.
This game better than I expected it to be. Gilgamesh saying fuck all to his job was easily one of the funniest parts.
I had sabers identify figured out by chapter 2 I was proud of myself
32:42 wasn't the jaw bone of a donkey also the blade Cain used to kill his brother Abel?
Quite possibly.
Yay! Arjuna FTW!
*Cue Intense Nosebleed*
Ibuki Doji. My new favorite Saber
I hope they make more games like that. I really want a Holy Grail War in London. There is a place or time that you want a Grail War to happen?
rome could be fun
could be an interesting war full of roman,egyptian and greek heroes
so finaly finished SR yesterday later i will start watching your video
first playthrew true ending
There isn't really a true ending. The one some people call a true ending can only be accessed in a second playthrough.
i heared that that is the bad ending@@otakudaikun
@@margock3213 It's a bad ending
my friends told me i can get the good and the true ending in the first playthrew
and the bad ending just in the 2nd playthrew and that i got the true ending in the first playthrew (did fight hide no abe and zheng zhengong as boss final boss )@@otakudaikun
I wonder how FGO will adapt this when the collaboration happens. And it will happen
Hey, can you talk about maui, the demi god he would be a interesting servant or a grand servant
15:32 isn't that a paradox though? If all mystery and magic is erased wouldn't the magic that erased it be erased too? Also, Human Wikipedia so, he wants everyone to be able to edit his knowledge on a whim.
I never said Hieda's plan made any sense. Like obviously summoning a dragon is mystery lol
@@otakudaikun yeah but, that's like dumb dumb. Fate has always had some dumb stuff but, it's usually weird dumb or 'dumb but, kinda makes sense based on flawed knowledge' dumb or 'it makes sense in context' dumb but, never dumb dumb. At least not in a serious work.
1:01:10 I'm not sure if 'flees' is the right word, considering that Iori just killed him with a single slash.
Kinda wish samson had the temple of dagon anti-reality marble
Wowowowowowo, so quick! OMG, Dai you are an incredible voice actor! So much energy in your streams and videos, this channel is a sight for sore eyes. Thank you!
The best fate game I’ve ever played
There is said to be dlc in the works for this, weather this is a new path, new servants or just outfit is unknown, or worst, nothing at all.
4:28 - Isn't Strange Fake a sequel to Stay Night? Rin is there & Gilgamesh mentions not being able to remember his time, due to grail mud.
I interpret that as a separate timeline that has the same history as Zero.
@@otakudaikun fair enough.
Abe-no-Seimei: I can see the future!
Tamamo: well bad news cuz it suck in a bad way.
@@OwO377 OK, funny but, I was doing a DBZA reference
God i really want this game
Hopefully i can soon
I think it's really good. I had a lot of fun with the gameplay and the story.
How's it play?
@@justafloofbean2342 it's a mix out of the traditional Warriors games and a more action rpg game. I think it's a really good fitting gameplay. And the more you play, the more fluid it gets.
@@Susarou ooooo~
Excitinggg
I bought the game a few months ago but haven’t made time to play it lol I think I’m a just watch the spoilers at this point.
I'm still waiting for the real Tamamo Vitch to show up and kick Koyanskaya's ass
Gameplay review. It's a fun game but honestly a lot of systems could be cut out.
For example how fire and water style really should have just been one style evolving instead. Void stance makes them so irrelevant and let's not even talk about wind style that is so useless. Esrth style was alright for defending but after you get void it's honestly not needed.
Boss fights are so fun to play and funny how it didn't need dlc to give us story replay when fgo had almost a decade and hasn't added one thing.
Story wise it's very fun. Sure the "route" options leaves things lacking like seeing the main bad guy lose off screen if you don't go after him or so on. Makes for good second playthrough to see other options but most of the time gotta skip
The only use wind style had was getting the skill that sometimes prevents consumption of Iori gems.
Another complaint is Dorothea’s assassin is just not fun to play his attacks are sluggish and his noble phantasm is a mecha. It made going through his digressions somewhat of a chore. Which is ironic given his agility is supposed to be A rank.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 yeah honestly it all should have been one style that was evolving forward. Fire and water is just void together which earth isn't needed if you get good drops for evade to get auto dodge basically
Yeah many of the servants that don't use swords like li. Dorotheas servant samnson etc all have little range so if the enemy runs away you basically lose half a bar to get close again.
Digressions are meh they are good for extra story but badly paced overall and at the end you get them all which I hate when stories do that.
Mechanics video?
12:40 Eren lol
Samson vs Heracles body builder contest, who'd win?
I'm inclined to say Heracles but it's just a hunch.
The kisritsigu pun was inececery 😢
Abe no Seimei. Hopefully like Merlin we get two versions of him in FGO. Male and Female.
“Partway though the story, Yasuhiro forcibly takes control of Archer, Rider, Assassin, Rogue Archer, Rogue Lancer, Rogue Rider, Rogue Berserker, and Rogue Assassin using the Waxing Moon.”
Why could he not take control of Rogue Ruler too as well? I know who he is but still…
He tried to take control of everyone but Gilga was too strong.
Yes I am Sasaki Kojiro, the man who Miyamoto Musashi dishonorably bludgeoned with a stick after showing up hours late to I do because he wasn't enough of a man to face me. And by that, I mean that's who I would be if I existed, but I don't
And you're a wraith too
How can i change the costume? And what does the seasonpass do?
You can change costumes in your workshop from the same place where you rewatch cutscenes. The season pass is for DLC that hasn't been revealed yet so I don't know what will be in it.
34:08 This is literally Broly
They did Jeanne Alter dirty in this game I mean I am mad that Chiemon ordered her to commit suicide.
Slight correction thr ending where saber kills lori is not the true ending
I was only mentioning that some people claim it as such, but I don't.
Medea should have been in this game
WHY WE HAVE NO IEYASU SERVANT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
to mess with my friends, i will call saber both a guy and a girl if i ever explain who they are, so they will wonder if its a guy or girl not knowing that it does not mater hehe
Saber is Agender period, don't you dare to bring Woke culture LMAO, how dare you guess saber's personality 😂
Unlike the MCU the Nasuverse knows how to use multiverse. The mcu just use the Multiverse as a cheap gimmick to tell cheap stories because all their writers have no Talent
Shit, it's so annoying in EVERY Fate story they never let anyone win the grail. What's even the point :/
Well there was one story that let someone win the Grail and it was before the events of FGO. Marisbury and his Caster Servant Solomon won the Grail and they both wish for wealth to build Chaldeas Organization and reincarnate as Dr Romani in Grand Order. Not much was shown in that time other than Flashbacks and Solomon revealing his wish to Ritsuka
@@brendan1470 Exactly, there are instances of people winning the grail, but we have yet to see any kind of Fate piece of media that actually writes said story? It just feels like Nasu doesn't know how to write a story like that, and most he will do with his partners is write bits and pieces about it. It's frustrating.
@@SilverYPheonix It's almost like getting to the Root actually ISN'T as easy as killing 6 mages. Whoda thunk it?
So Takeru’s like Chevalier, officially non-gender-specific because literally nobody knew one way or the other and Takeru kinda doesn’t give a shit. Might also be affected by their legend, causing them to be straight-up bigender…?
Fairly certain Takeru's biologically one way or the other and just doesn't care. Chevalier was thought to have been a hermaphrodite. But yeah they both go in the androgyny club.
@@otakudaikun Hermaphrodite’s more fun, though… 😏 Also interesting that this Jeanne Alter is literally Jeanne herself corrupted by Chiemon’s hate. If Jeannie ever catches wind of this, she will mock her big sis *for-ever.* 🤣
The scarf is nice. IMO the chin was the least appealing part of the 3d model and the scarf hides it.
What's wrong with muh chin?
after playing it myself..... i don't really like it.
game play wise is fun
decent story... but none of the ending give me a satisfied conclusion.
abruptly, unsatisfying...
Yeah, that's the point. We know for a fact that this timeline is doomed to be forcefully ended by the universe.
male? female? *I DONT CARE* looks female enough
