The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So, apparently Niinou (Etrian Odyssey, 7th Dragon, etc) is teaming up with Kinoku Nasu and Takeuchi (Type/Moon) to make a dungeon crawler action RPG based on some kind of crazy-ass bizarro Fate/Stay Night alternate universe.
Frankly, I find Saber's new transparent dress somewhat terrifying. And Lancer looks like... uh... well, he's certainly not getting any less gay. I wonder what's sparked this Fate cash-in as of late. Between this, Realta Nua, Unlimited Codes, and the new movie, they're really cashing in after about half a decade of ignoring it.
Now that it's out, in case anybody was wondering who some of the new servants are...
Saber (PC) -- Nero (no, seriously)
Saber (NPC) -- Gawain
Archer (PC) -- Emiya
Archer (NPC) -- Robin Hood
Caster (PC) -- Tamamo no Mae
Caster (NPC) -- Alice (From Through the Looking Glass, a pair of dolls)
Lancer (Rin) -- Cu Chulainn
Lancer (Other) -- Vlad the Impaler
Rider -- Francis Drake
Berserker -- Lu Bu
Assassin -- Li Shuwen
Although there are 128 Masters in this version of the war, so it's more of a giant clusterfuck with 7ish major servants more than just the usual thing.
It's loosely based on a visual novel called Fate Stay/Night. The Holy Grail summons seven Heroic Spirits (famous heroes through history) as Servants to seven Masters who then attempt to kill each other. The last one standing has their wish granted. Servants are divided into the classes of Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Assassin (one of each). They hide their true identities to prevent their enemies from knowing their strengths and weaknesses (they're all famous afterall) so always just refer to each other by their class.
The VN's a lot more complicated than that, but it's a start.
This game takes that premise, a few of the characters, and some of the designs and changes it into a much more massive battle royale with dozens of each class present. FSN Saber and FE Saber look basically identical for example, only FE's is red and they're have completely different personalities. Rin, on the other hand, (twintailed girl in red) is a Master in both and basically the same character.
Color me interested. Maybe I'd have an excuse to purchase a PSP now?
I still have to finish UBW though, the game just freezes on me when
Rin is trying to kill me in the school
Sometimes I get minor issues like that for no apparent reason. I find that pressing the skip button to skip the line that crashes helps occassionally.
If that fails, remove the voice and RN patches if you're using them (should be the last two numbered ones) and put them in a separate folder until you get past that point.

Oh shit if I get this I'm totally getting Berserker.
Warc's also technically a Berserker servant apparently, although it's supposed to be her initial incarnation or something, before she ended up supercharged by the Earth.
And you can only choose between the three PC classes. It's basically Saber - Easy, Archer - Normal, Caster - Hard.
Although given the engine, maybe in NG+ you can pick whoever.
I feel sorry for all Lancers. Not sure who had it worse: /stay night Lancer or /zero Lancer.
I also wonder if anyone in /Extra has a Shinji avatar. And if they do - can I mercilessly kill them?

Shinji is in Fate/Extra with a Rider, and you can fight him.

But can I kill him horribly? Or keep him alive in a state of constant torture? Either way, I know I'm going to have a perma-save point slot before any fight with him. Just so I can beat him up any time I feel like it.

Hell with that, get back at him by taking his incredibly hot sister away to a better life.
Oh hey, there's the sequel. If the CCC stands for what I immediately thought of, I can't wait for the amount of rage this will generate. Though it's probably something silly like Decoration Disorder Disconnection.

Also, redhead looks interesting. Wonder if she might be an alternate Servant...?
Looking at the scans, she appears to be a new Rider.
I miss old Rider. ;____; (And Sakura)

And speaking of seeing, she has heterochromia for this? Goddamn.

Although Rider or Caster are tempting.

Why would a game that just came out in Japan be on gamefly?
Because when people say "it's out" I assume they mean in the main land.
Aksys is bro for life.
