null Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Honestly, the only Prime game the Varia suit was bad in was the first game. Too bulky. Prime 2 and 3's Varia suit is perfection, if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Chris Redfield from Resident Evil admits Arthur's superiority. 13 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: As I posted elsewhere: "Samus's new suit design is interesting. Initially, it brought the PED Suit of MP3 to mind. The iconic red with green highlights helmet and breastplate remain, but the rest is different. The pauldrons remind of Samus Returns, while the abandonment of the yellow-orange for white and light blue make this Samus distinctive. The overall appearance is sleeker than normal, with an unusually narrowing funnel on the Arm Cannon. The blue reminds me of both the Zero Suit and the Fusion Suit, leaning more toward the latter. I'd like to know why parts of the blue appear as though they are fibers that have been wrapped around the suit, it adds a seemingly organic element, reminiscent of phazon in general." In other words, I like it as well. The Dread Suit's sleeker appearance also brings something to mind i saw someone mention: Metroid Dread in general looks very clean and sleek so the suit fits in with that aesthetic. But there's a contrast here: at this point in time, Samus has Human, Chozo, Metroid and X-Parasite DNA within her, effectively making her the biological horror threat this time and that makes the clean and sleekness of the game's aesthetic that much more interesting. 6 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Honestly, the only Prime game the Varia suit was bad in was the first game.

Venger_06 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: It completely murders Saber's Character Saber is not really that different, no. This comment thread sums up. 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: It spoils the whole of FSN and many of it's plot twists Do you think a newbie will mind reading a 50+ hour novel? Do you think Ruben, a guy who reportedly "hates anime" will care? The real problem is this: Fate/Stay Night is an incredibly detailed work, with a big focus on worldbuilding and an insight into the characters' minds. This, unfortunately, is impossible to translate into an anime for example. The result is incredibly flawed adaptations like Ufotable's UBW, which cut all of Shirou's depth as we didn't have access to his mind and his monologues (apart from a horrible pacing - I don't know how they managed this feat, as UBW on VN has by far the best pacing), the HF movies, which tried to cram in as much content as possible and still couldn't cover it all, and DEEN's Stay Night (I won't even talk about the UBW movie). Ufotable has yet to do justice to some of the iconic VN scenes (the final fights of UBW and HF comes to mind). Like it or not, Zero is still Ufotable's best adaptation by virtue of the original material being more manageable for the format. Thus, the chance of someone whose only contact with the franchise is anime adaptations to like Zero is greater, and those who do not want to go deeper into the universe (cough cough Ruben) are better off just watching the prequel that is semi self contained instead. Granted, Zero isn't a masterpiece either, but it's enjoyable for most people unless you autistically nitpick some continuity inconsistencies (which anime-onlys don't care about). tl;dr: The F/SN adaptations did not capture the essence of VN satisfactorily. For an anime-only/newbie/person who doesn't have a lot of free time, opting to start with the best adapted work is a viable option if you don't want the person to get scared or get turned off.

And i don't feel like writing a wall of text for Saber of all people. Still, the inconsistencies are minor, and to say that the character was completely ruined is an exaggeration. Also, people who haven't read Fate route aren't going to understand Saber anyway, so that's the least of the problems for those who stay just as anime-onlys. 23 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Do you think Ruben, who reportedly hates anime and edge, will enjoy an edge fest like Zero? That depends. @Saint Rubenio Would you mind watching a more "dark" work? By "dark" I don't mean edgy, although it has some egdy elements, I mean the atmosphere is oppressive, there aren't many comic reliefs (unless you like dark humor and laugh at over the top villainy) and characters are not, well, happy. The first 3 episodes are a bit slow, with info dump, but it's worth the wait because the rest is good. If you are willing, then you can start at Zero. If you're not, but are interested in the franchise itself, you can start with the UBW anime. 32 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: I did what you want to do with Ruben before to someone else i know, i thought he would like Zero more due to his tastes. He ended up hating it. 32 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: A prequel that leaves people confused and gives the wrong image of the series. Different people have different tastes and reactions. I tried to get my brother into Fate, but he would never read the VN, so I introduced him to anime (yes, I tried to show him the DEEN version), but he still didn't get hooked up with any of the routes. In the end, I just told him to watch Zero, he liked it and was satisfied. That was in 2015, the HF movies hadn't even come out yet. He recently watched them and liked them, and my brother usually doesn't like "edgy" things. I also recommended Fate to other friends, and while they started with Zero, they weren't confused and liked UBW. If we do a search on the internet and the like, Zero's reception among anime-onlys is more positive than that of others. If the person will only watch once and continue anime-only, then the problem is not that big. This path is flawed, but all the paths are flawed, and it may be the best path available for some people and that is okay. Searching for a perfect experience and ending up not doing an experience, because it's not perfect, is missing the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
