Entry 35 Extra: Menu tourism

[So, the events of this day have caused some significant expansion in the menus here.]


2013-07-15_09-31-22_300


[There’s now an SG counter on screen at all times, in place of the “information matrix” counter that was there in Fate/Extra. Each round in Extra you had to collect all the pieces of the information matrix on your opponent’s Servant, in order to reveal their battle actions to you when you had your fight against them. I’m not sure if SGs will do that as well as block dungeon progression.]

[The “SG” option that has been on the main menu this whole time is open now, too.]

[Pretty menus!]

[And here we have Rin’s Secret Garden page. The two options are “Profile,” and “Excessive Self-Consciousness,” which is apparently the name of the piece of Rin’s SG we’ve unlocked – it’s also listed as the 1/3 on the main menu as seen above. Selecting “Excessive Self-Consciousness” leads to a whole lot of text basically explaining the concept of tsundere. …I will not translate it for now, though it may be worthwhile eventually.]

[The “Profile” screen looks like this. In a nice touch, selecting any of the answered fields gets you a voice clip of Rin giving her answer and a comment on said answer. Currently the only information filled in is name, height, birthday, and “how do you spend your free time?” (Answer: “I aim for physical and mental relaxation.”) I’ll probably try to translate her comments when the profile is filled in. The two other questions in Japanese are “what do you look for in a partner?” and “what’s your favorite color of underwear?”]

[Now, the information matrix from Extra is still in the game, it’s just only accessible when you’re in your private room, so I assume its importance has been decreased. It has space for eight Servants, including Lancer, Andersen, and Gilgamesh.]

[We currently don’t have a lot of info on any of these Servants, especially Gil (there is nothing on him but his name, Master, and lack of Class). On Andersen we have the keyword “three great authors,” while on Lancer we just found the keyword “Dragon-child” and the skill “Territory Creation B.” Skills and keywords, like that SG piece, lead to blocks of explanatory text, though not as large as the two “setting” entries which are basically “here is our history of this Servant,” when you unlock them. I’ll translate Lancer’s for now.]

Dragon-child: This Servant has taken the form of a demon due to the skill “Innocent Monster.” They make her look like a devil, but her horns and tail are those of a dragon. Also her high canines appear to be the fangs of a dragon, not a vampire. “Innocent Monster” is a skill that transforms past and present, giving her a distorted appearance and abilities, in accordance with the image born of her actions in life. Vlad III, who also possesses this skill, was branded a monster by the work of a novelist, but Lancer is treated this way because of her actions in life.

Territory Creation B: Creates a prison and confines girls inside it. According to legend, the master of this castle would capture five maidens a day, execute three of them to bath in their blood, and keep one as pet to be tortured to death. The last girl was granted the right to take a challenge for fates such as “be killed right here,” “plot escape but be betrayed by your allies and killed,” “be captured by the palace guards and killed,” “fall from the castle and die accidentally,” and “…barely escape with your life, and prosecute this monster.” Incidentally, the chance of receiving the fate “you can escape” is 1/1000.
