Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wait, Wait... Why the hell was this topic not here before?

Yes, if you don't know whast Type-Moon is, I'm going to have to ask you havw long you've been into anime, how long you;ve been into visual novels, and if you watch Geneon stuff. Really now.


Anyway, Type-Moon has two series of games which occur in the same world. These being, Tsukihime, and the Fate/ series. Each of which were huge hits as far as viaual novels go. They both have their own anime, and they both have sequels and spinoffs.

A little bit of history: Type-Moon used to be a small doujin cirle starting off new with Tsukihime. They were planning opn just making another game where you get to play around with the girls, nothing really huge, but then things change. Tsukihime, became long complex, and known for not the hentai, but for having a kick a** storyline like no other. Basically it was a pretty shocking turn that most people didn't expect to come about. With this hit of a first game they seem to have ridden the momentum and got an anime of that, but also an anime of their second major release. That being Fate/Stay Night. Using many of the same concepts as Tsukihime this game also became a huge success.

Yeah so anyway, in other words, Type-Moon is freakin' awesome. And it's practically blasphemy not to have a thread about it in a guild like this. Even more so with the Fate/Stay Night fan following out there. That'd be totally awesome if their next game was a cross over. It's possble, but doesn't seem likely.

Why is this topic so empty, makes me feel a little sad, like I'm the only Type-Moon fan in existence cry .

As for Kagaitsuki's comment about a cross over series, its more then possible. I've only heard rumors about it over at the large Type-moon forums (koi-chan image boards and beast's lair), but rumor has it that there will be a Counter-Guardian appearing in Tsukihime 2. Type-Moon counter guardians are spirits summoned by the world to save it from itself (kind of a lop off the arm to save the patient kinda thing). And there is at least 1 Fate/Stay character who is confirmed to have become a Counter Guardian, so he might very well just join in ^_^.

As well, there are already minor cross-over points in the two series, such as the appearance of Zeltrech, and in the fact that two type-moon characters use the same weapons; Both Ciel and Kotomine Kirei use black keys.

Played Battle Moon Wars, 1st act, just wish I could understand it better ^_^.

It uses the same system as Super Robot Wars, and alot of the characters use attacks that look like SRW moves (main female character's ultimate move was derived from the Hyperlion I believe). I'd rather someone make another Melty Blood game though, only this time with Fate/Stay characters in it; best we can get now is Mugen characters and doujin fighters -_-

Well Battle Moon Wars 3 came out and I happened to have it. Haven't beaten the final Act 2 stage though.

Hint of final boss:SHIKI THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BEAT MAJIN-I MEAN Takumi AND Shiki!

TO BE FUSED WITH A VAMPIRE-LUSTING FOOL LIKE YOU-

*minutes later*

FU-SION HA!

No idea? Battle Moon Wars is pretty cool though... although I have yet to obtain part 3. Anyway, why only those two? To beat the last boss I mean. Careful use of Focuse, flash, etc. can usually get you through any situation... Plus you could Iron wall/hot blooded Saber to bash through most things using Excalibur. Not to metnion the fact that she has a Zeorymer-like barrier as well as stats in general... and Zeorymer is god. >.<

Anyway, as far as the Fate/ scenarios, so this means that the first game is fully traslated right in all three scenario's right? That's cool, not if only I could get my hands on a copy of that game... hm... well, there's a chance. I need to get the Fate/Zero novels too. *Fanboys over the idea of Nitro+/Type-Moon*

Oh they are? I haven't checked them in a while. Awesome. Go Nito+/Type-Moon! XD

thanks for clearing it up Enpatsu. Also, people should check out Beast's Lair for more info; its usually ground zero for anything that has to do with Type-Moon.

Beast's Lair

On a side note, Kiritsugu is probably the best Master I've seen thus far in terms of combat ability and strategy. I was surprised at the level of skill he had as a Magus. *fanboys alongside Kagaitsuki over Nitro+/Type-Moon*

I don't want to spoil a lot of Fate/Zero, so I can't really say much else about Kiritsugu and Saber's relationship without ruining it for someone; but suffice to say that he wasn't as powerful a master as Rin or Ilyasviel, but more along the lines of a trained magus-killer or hitman like Bazzet or Soichiro. Hell, he uses Claymore mines against one of the other Masters eek (sure, nothing wrong with using military grade weapons with the aim of taking out a single person 0_o).
