shoutout to that one guy from jp screaming out summer salieri over and over again beliveing and never giving up on summer salieri even past-Id chapter you are So True bro <3

i realize while playing mahoyo collab, you need:

Will of Steel EX

Guts for you the Player

Sanity

theres too many arrows each node again....nasu ..........theres also the special node lasting right now at 20-22 jpn time.. and context from mahoyo itself...... which im not done reading 🫡

oh my god theres only 18k so far in twitter for the interactions and then i checked fb side and it only has like 11k+ fgo NA you're asking for 50,000 reactions???? thats just too much 😭

destroys me all the time that the OST used in the battle against Count of Monte Cristo is conveying to the players as well as to guda that dantes is an enemy you must defeat. a villain, an Avenger, a murderer who nearly drove you to a path where you had the potential to raze the world without stopping. like... theres also this feeling of despair and inevitability. that clashing is against the very one you trusted all these years is unavoidable. the very Count that has constantly protected you in your sleep, in your dreams , and in other worlds.....

BUT IN THE STORY AFTER GUDA IS RAYSHIFTED AWAY YOU REALIZE THAT.............. the same boss battle bgm is used.... but in a far sadder tone.....TEARS IN MY EYES......... and then it doesnt help that you remember haydee is the one narrating it.

"The fool descends down the staircase. Having abandoned his only confidant, his most trusted one, in this life of his to pursue his interest."

im not.ewell. the tone, the music, is just all kinds of melancholy and sad and it reminds me of a "lonely path" in which guda had also experienced right after the hassan vs cagliostro betrayal and before the "final trial" dantes fight......like the "before" and "after" fights for the latter hits fifteen times different even more........ so much tears in my eyes...............ahh the things we all do for love.... urgh.....

"you need to push forward". its the only way for the story to proceed but its all just so heavy. it was really a bloody path set on fire, where you drag your body as if like unwanted baggage.... im so not normal....im trying not to think about Id chapter CM.......

@mei-the-panda

AUGH FUCK THATS SO GOOD AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WILL LITERALLY EVAPORATE AUGH sailors who cruise under the stars and even uses them as a guide on the way home and as such edmond dantes definitely admired it as a good natured and honest man aboard the pharaon, but for count of monte cristo forcibly summoned to the grand order where this vengeful aspect of his life after experiencing chateau d'lf is highlighted there was only ever one thing that comforted him oh fuck HELL ON EARTH thats so smooth WHAT!!!!!! WHAT!!??!?!!?!?!?!>>!>!>@@#O#*(90900

AUGHHHHHH

things that could happen in monte cristo valentines:

-haydee and guda again with the anata/watashi -brewing coffee (could be same...maybe different?) coupled with a dessert this time having symbolisms AGAIN of how much they mean to him istfg -FUCKING BEDROOM VOICE THAT WILL SOFTLY ANNIHILATE MY EARS -another "light my cigarette" scene (perhaps, a variation of the scenario that could end us all) -going back to pseudo-tokyo for a date? www -LINK LOST other-self perhaps could be involved? (as shadow maybe) -another mention of guda being his star (<- will absolutely tear me to pieces) -going back to the apartment complex from knk event to look back at some memories? -fgo literally requiring you to clear Id chapter ofc

note to future self for when traum drops in NA: stay in the kriemhild boss battle for an hour to soak in the BGM.......

「wowakaより愛を込めて」😭💖... ....

its only chapter 1 for me so far in mahoyo collab and theres so much guda comments i want to say...

adding onto another plausible gift bc a certain comment from a fic got me thinking:

-a pack of cigarettes with the scene being maybe, should guda still want to walk the path of an Avenger, he can still offer a hand to them. remaning to be an open invite even as both of them know full well guda would never and is not that kind of person -going back to check on guda's trash heap as that was where prison tower dantes remained and decided to become their guardian -that "ephemeral dream" -his LINK BAD status being addressed/him being shown as something similar to internet connection or his downgrade from 5G to 3G ww

its so unfair. its honestly just so unfair... i cant believe the solution for the Avenger ordeal call is to taste vengeance- to stoke those potential flames in your heart, to experience first hand why such a Class is not accepted into panhuman history as a means to let go, saying goodbye to such flames that has been with them since the beginning.....you must see for yourself why someone as dazzling as you do not have the heart to become flame itself. you who holds onto love and hope no matter how great your despair, no matter how much you are faced with the temptation to kill for your satisfaction. Avengers are weapons that would demand of retribution at the cost of pan human history as defined by the system that governs their world. and guda's misusage is because they've turned them into Servants who are simply more than flames that would wreak havoc and destruction for the sake of their revenge that is hardwired into their very existence.

guda wielded their flames not for the sake of killing, but borrowed their power to forge a path ahead instead of setting the road ablaze. and with such beings who understand the best what you had to go through, as beings who know of pain the most, who are intimate with love the most, you must let go of these flames as their purpose greatly contradicts that irreversible wish in your heart. hellfire is what defines this class made of bloody teeth and howls. and you cannot use such a thing if you are to make your way to your final destination, the world in which only 7 seats are accepted into protecting the human order. so let go if you wish to pass. let go of these flames that you have come to cherish and love, bearing encompassing warmth only for you but would scorch the world in a heartbeat if you were to bring those that embody hatred, revenge, and grudges to the very place which has irreversibly changed them into monsters recorded in the Throne.

its just so unfair...

its like nasu has contipation if he doesnt even do a heavy lore drop related to the main story on an event players would barely do that will probably Never Rerun again

50 usd tsukiRe as physical standard compared to 70 usd deluxe....ill wait for the discount....

okok 運命の人 is literally so heavy thats basically marriage x1000 and the bond lasts for as long as time exists and im :)))

dantes' "my fate" (運命に） in the story is also alternatively read as "soulmate" (運命の人) btw :)

i, too, would get down on one knee and hold her hand, and say, "my fate, my radiant star"
