@@DanielSantosAnalysis im glad they're still capable of some good stuff out of the series hopefully this'll be the begining of a trend have you seen that "older waver" spin off anime that came out somewhat recently? As an fan of zero I've been eyeing it up a fair bit
@@Kraftium I haven't seen it yet, but I do plan on watching it. Waver and Rider are among my favorite characters, so seeing what Waver is up to as a mage professor is pretty intriguing. If you want something else Type-Moon related worth checking out, the Kara no Kyoukai movies are a must. They're slow burn, atmospheric thrillers animated by the same studio behind Fate/Zero, definitely worth watching.
@@DanielSantosAnalysis yeah its actually funny how much I turned around on waver from start to finish of zero and seeing his glow up I was like "omg, he became a man rider would be proud of" despite him lacking the build to be like him I'll have to check out kara no kyoukai, i didn't realise they had movies but I know the main girl from melty blood (tho for years I thought her kimino was a boiler suit for some reason) but yeah movies are pretty low commitment so I'm down for that
Tiny note! Iori is also a real life historical figure, one of Musashi's four adopted sons (all of whom went on to be famous swordsmen in their own right). Yui Shousetsu and Zheng Chenggong are also historical figures of the period. I'm pretty certain game Iori is younger than real life Iori, though - the game is set in 1651, when Iori would have been 39; irl he was also a veteran of the Shimabara Rebellion (1637-38), but the dialogue makes it clear that game Iori was never there (and is not notably older, if at all older, than the other character in the game that was in that rebellion as a child).
oh yeah I found out about iori while I was editing, guess I shouldn't be surprised I kinda assumed zheng was a real person too very interesting tho reminds me of rasputin showing up in raidou kuzunoha even tho he should be dead during the taisho period
Unexpected review, but as a resident Fate fan I am just glad you had a good time If you ever feel like giving the franchise another go, they just remade Witch on the Holy Night, a VN which was never actually released even in japan, for PS4 and PC and it is quite good In terms of being a VN, the production value is absurd
Nice to see a semi casual fan enjoying 😎 i cant wait till fate extra record comes out. That's practically modern atlus levels of production quality. As triple A as you can possibly be in japan without being from square enix capcom, namco or (somtimes) Sega
I'd like to say i'm looking foward to fate extra record too (its meant to be a remake of the psp game right?) but wasn't it announced like 3 years ago?
@@Kraftium yeah it's a full remake for the extra timeline. It's taking a long time cause it's from studio BB (type moons first in house major game production studio) and it's their first game so they are trying to make sure everything is set up for release to make good first impression
@@MrInuhanyou123 Wish they just remastered Fate/Extra and remade CCC instead since that story has more interesting prospects and never had an English release in the first place.
That sounds faintly like Demetori in the background (at points)..could just be the touhou nerd in me. Great video. Got me to subscribe. Was curious about this game.
I don't think it is (I only know a bit of touhou music) but I'm also not sure what music I used for this video cos I know barely any fate music I think I used some yakuza kenzan and ishin music due to the time period but yeah either way i'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for subscribing :D
Pretty nice review. Two things; 1: Iori gets more characterisation in NG+, with the game also letting you fast forward through anything that isn't new, so it's worth beating the game a second time for another ending. 2: loud incorrect buzzer, Saber is not a woman, they're genderless. People use pronouns for them in-universe based on assumptions but their character entry never updates to confirm and this gender nonconformity is preserved in their FGO profile.
It's nice to see a fellow dmc fan (at least I assume since I got recommend your dmc videos) trying out a fate game, I can understand being skeptical or just not taking it seriously with the franchise, especially since the bulk of it's popularity in the west came from F/GO but it'd be nice if you could give some more consideration with it's combat mechanics, specifically considering the afterglow mechanic and it's kinda directed by the same dude that made the Nioh games possible. Now it's not to say the review was bad or anything but considering the comparison to P5 Strikers/Scramble I'm a bit surprised that dodging and riposting just doesn't get anything said on it.... Anyway thanks for reading but I do regret it when the combat in these games aren't taken seriously.
Thanks for commenting I really appriciate it as for not address stuffs I'll say I should of probably just called this video "first impressions" than an actual review which is why I didn't go super indepth, i had like 4 days to get through as much as I could and then make the vid but I definately enjoy the fact team omega have been using the musou base to make actual action rpg's instead of their typical battlefield management sims, and stuff like the afterglow (i'm assuming thats the buffs you get when stance changing at the right time right?) are pretty cool, and while I'll always enjoy dodging and riposts i did feel like they were a bit clunking in samurai remnant (not to an awful degree but I've felt better mor vicsral versions in other games) Still I'm glad I played this game, its definately up there with zero for me (reminds me I need to watch that long haired adult waver spinoff)
@@Kraftium Oh... That explains why and yes afterglows are what you get either through ripostes, keeping up a stance for a certain amount of time or managing to keeping up attacks to accelerate the glow's activation.

Fun Fact + Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . . Yamato Takeru (Saber) was released not long ago in FGO. He was listed as Genderless there, probably due to him crossdressing a few times in actual history and Nasu himself wanting an androgynous companion.
Also fun fact : Iori is basically using Cheat code when he summons Saber. Servant have fame boost where the more local populace know their legend the stronger they'll be. Iori summoned Yamato Takeru, one if not the most renown legendary Japanese hero from mythical age. Not only he's extremely well known among the Japanese, he;s old as it can get for a Japanese hero. Iori summoned THAT Yamato Takeru in Japan, the fame boost gotta be absurdly crazy and it shows. Saber never struggle, hurt or even lose against anyone in FSR.
I always get frustrated with depictions of Musashi Miyamoto. He used two swords because he was left handed and all swordfighting was based around right handed fighters. I have no idea how they're going to explain this in the Onimusha anime series that's coming to Netflix. I guess they're used to getting history wrong. Sorry, rant over. Just commenting for the Al Gore rhythm. This was the perfect length of review on this game. Extremely concise and practical. Good work! 😃👍
oh I never knew that though it makes a lot of sense thinking about it also I will beat Al Gore at any rhythm game be it elite beat agents, project diva or space channel 5
@@Kraftium My word, Space Channel 5. You just awakened a dark and forgotten corner of my memory palace. I usually do the same to anyone my age when I mention Captain EO. Francis Ford Coppola directed that 3D insanity! There truly were some great rhythm games though. PaRappa, Um Jammer Lammy, and Crypt of the NecroDancer come to mind. There's a topic for a deep dive documentary...
@@Kraftium Oh, also, Miyamoto had eczema and was considered ugly and gross. He was also rumored to never bathe because he didn't want to be unarmed or drop his guard. Suffice to say, anime girl Miyamoto doesn't seem to reflect that.
12:38 actually it is connected with FGO mobile game as well as main Fate writer Nasu confirmed that Musashi from FSR is the one that will appear at certain Chapter in the game that was happening long after the one on which manga is based was done story vise.
Yes as per the collab explain.. timeline wise (which is oxymoron given that FGO is a tangled mess of wimmy wammy spacey bendy universe) that Waxing moon ritual happens before Shimousa and Olympus. Well it's already obvious that this happens before Shimousa because FSR Musashi are explicitly said to have yet perfected her [ ] sword.
Not at all There's little nods and references and such but its very mild stuff pretty much everything about it is self contained musashi may be the one from fate GO but shes a dimension hopper so her being here is still completely seperate from other stuff
I would say unexpected review, but given you liked some of my tweets about this game lol. I was thinking you might have played this in the dark. Also you sure, you were compelled by this, because of a certain Fox loli and that one of the Masters: Takao Dayu is voiced by Ami Koshimizu, you know "Holo".

haha yeah, I applied for a code not expecting to get it and when I got the email I was like "oh shit hold on" Every interaction with aria essentially had me alternating between ">touch fluffy tail" and "damn this chick's trying to put me in jail" also damn dayu and musashi were already the best duo in the game and this cements it
@@Kraftium Whaddya mean? October 20th is obviously the Aŋra Mainiiu Day. :v On a different note, this game was pretty much made thanks to the aforementioned FGO event - apparently it's the favourite FGO story of Koei Tecmo's CEO.
Play FGO too or at least read through the story on youtube/watch a let's play, past the first few chapters it's great and the main reason to play it plus Shimousa is already finished in it and it has more Musashi even outside of just that chapter
Here's a totally unnecessary trivia : That manga, and the chapter from FGO it's based on is not prequel for FSR... it's actually the sequel. FSR Musashi is Musashi before the event in Shimosa since she has yet perfected her [ ] (void) sword as stated in FSR. Shimousa is where she perfected her [ ] sword so chronologically (if that have any meaning that is) it happens after FSR.
I don’t know how far you’ve gotten in the game, but Iori’s character is much more interesting than he’s originally portrayed. You get more info on his actual personality if you play through NG+.
