General Discussion / Re: Favorite Type-MOON Character(s)?

« on: November 09, 2013, 03:33:46 AM »

Well I agree with a lot of your choices but I kinda hate the back draft against Arturtia because of Nero.

Oh, I didnt't mean that I hate Altria because of Nero. As @Cherry Lover said, even without Nero I would'nt like Altria.
Now, with that I don't try to say that Altria is a lame character nor am I denying her feats or story, I just don't like Shirou and Altria, being as pairing or individually. I don't think I can explain it well but, I just don't like them.

Well, I can't really comment on the other four, but I agree with the choice of Sakura. I'm not sure what exactly what you mean about the heroine thing, though. Do you mean you don't like pairing her up with Shirou, or do you mean that you just don't really like HF?

I meant that, in her route, Sakura was extremely dependant of Shirou. Now, Shirou did the right thing helping her and discarding his dream (yeah, even if he became her accomplice) only to save her. I know that many will think it's the perfect opposite of what it should be done and that HF was a sad ending for both, but I think that she at least endured all of those trials as it should be endured. She has a reasonable motive for doing what she did (technically it wasn't her fault tough) and she learned to accept her mistakes and take responsability for them

In contrast to Sakura, the other heroines seem a bit dull and only at the very end you see a character development in them. Mostly Altria, with her kingdom problems and she hesitantly wanting to admit it. For me Sakura had a better story and better development, even if things didn't end the happy way. Of course Rin and Altria had shining moments, but their personalities didn't seem well portrayed IMO; at least not what I'd expect from them given the setting of their own routes.



BTW, how do I multiquote?
I just did it the manual way because I didn't see a button. Did I miss it somewhere? Is there such a function? Shortcut maybe?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I have to put a list then...

1. Arcueid
What can I say? She is THE perfect waifu IMO. Powerful, sexy, intelligent and comes equipped with a life full of thrill.
Seriously, she is the best heroine, tough many think that she is not that good. Yeah, she earned herself the nickname of 'airhead', but that doesn't mean she is stupid, and can very well understand her situation and of those around her.

2. Shiki Ryougi
Pretty good character, with it's ups and downs, tough very well designed. Also powerful and if you pay attention, sometimes sweet, 'dere' and lovely. You can see in her some good character development, even putting aside her obviously cheating powers.

3. Aoko
I like Aoko mostly because of her personality. Pretty open-minded and not hesitant like the others. Doesn't let others affect her decisions and does what must be done when it's needed. Pretty skilled and honest, she is one of the few characters that has appeal in the TM works. Also, being one of the Magic users gets her a place on the powerlevel chart.

4. Sakura
Tough I don't consider her the best heroine because of her doubts in her rute, she was the only one who didn't bored and bother me with it's story. I don't think Altria nor Rin have the kind of personality to endure what Sakura did, and Sakura herself at least had a reasonable motive behind her actions. Powerful and gifted, she doesn't need to rely on other people that much.

5. Nero (Takeuchi design)
Simply, Nero best Saber. First, I hate Altria (and Shirou for that matter), and even tough the two 'share' a resemblance, Nero is far more sexy, appealing and charismatic than the king of britain. She has a nice story and a personality that isn't bothersome, even if said personality was planned to be like that. Also, the red suits her.


...and some others, tough not that much. That's what I think.

Visual Novels / Re: Recommendations?

If you want to pass a GOOD time laughing, sometimes even almost crying and whatnot, you should read the Grisaia series.
For now I think only the Grisaia no Kajitsu series is translated (by TLWiki IIRC), but if you can read moon runes, then is a must.

Grisaia no Kajitsu
Mihama Academy - on the surface, a closed learning environment established to nurture students who find themselves at odds with the world around them; in actuality, an orchard-cum-prison built to preserve fruit that has fallen too far from its tree.

Whatever the circumstances behind its establishment, Mihama Academy is at present home to five female students, all with their own reasons for "enrollment." For better or worse, each girl has established a routine obliging of her current situation; life moves at an idle, yet accommodating pace within the walls of Mihama.

Yet with the arrival of the institute's first male student, the nearly preposterously opaque Kazami Yuuji, the students at Mihama begin to fall out of step with their predetermined rhythms. Will Yuuji prove to be the element the girls around him needed to take hold of their lives once more, or will the weight of their pasts prove too steep a wall to overcome?And in the first place, just who is Kazami Yuuji? While the true nature of the "job" he is wont to alight to at the most haphazard of moments remains shrouded in secrecy, one thing is for certain - his encroachment upon the quiet orchard known as Mihama Academy will prove itself momentous in one way or another. And of course, one cannot discount the possibility that perhaps Yuuji himself carries the weightiest past of any of the students...


Grisaia no Meikyuu
Roughly a year after his arrival at Mihama, Yuuji makes the unexpected decision to pursue promotion within CIRS. The action resumes with Yuuji in a meeting with JB at "corporate HQ," discussing the documents he submitted for review as a part of the promotion process - said documents pertaining to none other than Yuuji's own past. Meanwhile, back at the dorm, the girls find themselves unwittingly following along after Sachi and Makina restore the shredded rough draft of said documents.

The irony, of course, being that prominent figures in Yuuji's past may just be continuing to exert their influence upon the present... Also includes after stories for all heroines from Grisaia no Kajitsu as well as other side stories.


Grisaia no Rakuen
A boy trying to find the paradise he once lost arrived in a secluded garden at the end of the world, where he found five girls. Not knowing himself what the result would be, he took out five seeds and distributed them to the girls, driven by a sense of duty and perhaps even the faintest murmurings of something like hope. One by one, the girls planted the seeds they had been entrusted with in the ground around them, waiting for the day when they would bear fruit.But whether or not this day will come remains to be seen - everything hinges on one final struggle to learn where a true paradise is to be found.



That's pretty much the review of the series. It's pretty hilarous when you read it, and you can note some references of general culture here and there. Has good scenes, pacing, characters and story. Yuuji's past is evident since the beginning, but it does develop really well and leaves a pretty good impression. Although it's an eroge, it does not rely too much in it to be a great story. It's well planned and it's hard to get bored with it. I recommend it strongly.

Hmm... from both what I've seen and looking it up, it seems to be something like this (has a few major spoilers, so watch out for that):

Spoiler for From strongest to weakest:

God tier:
BB and Kirara (All the World's Lust mode)

Gilgamesh and Tamamo (Goddess mode- not playable, but appears briefly in relation to Secret Garden stuff)

Exceptional Servant Tier:
Karna  Alter Egos may go here as well.

Maybe Saber? Though unlike Altria, she might go into Average Servant Tier.

Average Servant Tier:
Most of the other Servants I suspect. This includes Archer and both Lancers.

Weak Servant Tier:
Caster, both the playable one and Nursery Rhyme. Playable one might slide up higher due to being a glass cannon, but not 100% sure. 

If I'm wrong about anything, feel free to clarify what it is so I can try and fix it.

I see, then the top tiers have more or less that level. I asked because I've read some things, but thought that it was a bit exaggerated and wanted confirmation on it.

Guess I'll have to play that thing soon and see what things they made for us. Tough I don't like that much Gil... XD
Thanks for the info.

So, who are the top tiers in CCC? (Don't know if this should be marked as spoiler tough)
I've read some things here and ther about some of them, but don't know how powerful they are and I haven't had the time to play the game even if I have it.
