Nasuverse: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

The universe of the writings of TYPE-MOON's scenario director, Kinoko Nasu. It's made up of several "sub-universes" ("franchises" that [[Character Overlap|share characters]]) that take place in the same world with the same rules, but interestingly enough, seldom obviously cross over. Also of note is that while the franchises are ''not'' [[Alternate Universe|alternate continuities]] to each other, the franchises themselves are made up of several, since the primary works are visual novels with [[Multiple Endings|multiple and]] ''[[Multiple Endings|very]]'' [[Multiple Endings|mutually exclusive paths]] which are all canon by virtue of being alternate continuities to one another.

Several of the main works are [[H-game~~|H-games~~]] (aka ''eroge'', marked as such), while many of the related works are not.

* ''[[Fate Extra|Fate/EXTRA]]'', an alternate telling of the Fifth Grail War, released for the PSP in July, 2010. Differs from the rest of the series in that the player can choose their character's gender and Servant (from Saber, Caster, or Archer).

* "Fate", or proto-version of it, was apparently one of Nasu's earlier works at which he wrote when he was still in college. In this version, Saber was male while the character that Shirou replaced was a female name Sajou Ayaka. The changes were made likely to shift into a eroge game and all the changes in background story of the female Saber were likely due to the fact that she is now female.

** ''[[Carnival Phantasm]]'' is [http://www.animenewsnetwork.~~com~~/news/2011-12-29/carnival-phantasm-3rd-season-includes-fate/prototype set to include] a twelve minute animated short based off this version, entitled ''Fate/Prototype''.

* ''[[Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya]]'', a [[Spin-Off]] [[Alternate Universe]] manga, starting from ''Fate/zero'' and going into the ''Fate/stay night'' time. Since it is some sort of [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Magical Girl]] genre, it is [[Lighter and Softer]] compared to Fate/zero and Fate/stay night, but it gets [[Darker and Edgier]] on its own with appearances of several characters from the ''Fate'' series.

* ''[[Fate/Apocrypha]]'' is a cancelled Fate project for an online game based around the Holy Grail War Master and Servant system. Even though it was cancelled, it was featured in the Fate Complete Material IV that includes character arts of fifteen different Heroic Spirits. The project is being revived as a [[Light Novel]] authored by Yuuichiro Higashide.

Line 69:

Then again, as already stated, it isn't internally consistent because large portions of the source material are mutually exclusive, and some parts of it are obviously not canon to begin with (like self-parodies etc.) - the canon universe is more about characters and the interaction between them, and less about the actual plot(s) taking place. [[Doujinshi]] authors take full advantage of this, and the amount of fan material available is staggering.

Due to the sheer amount of rules and terminologies involved within the [[Nasuverse]], there is now an [[Nasuverse/Analysis|analysis page]] as a guide to all the terminologies and rules involved, also serving as a dissection of the setting through tropes. Please feel free to contribute. Also now has a [[Nasuverse/Memes|memes page]].

'''Pastimes of Nasuverse fans (sometimes called "Type-Lunatics", even by themselves) include:'''

* Discussing [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|power levels]] inside and across franchises. Of particular note, the [[Word of God]] strongest being, Type-Mercury/ORT has become a loved and hated icon of the [[Nasuverse]].

* Arguing over whether either Shiki (mainly [[Tsukihime|Shiki]]) can kill [[Fate/stay night|Servants]], or [[Cosmic Horror|other beings]] for that matter ([[Word of God]] be [[Death of the Author|damned]]). The [[Death of the Author]] is somewhat warranted since [[Word of God]] is mostly [[Flip-Flop of God|inconsistent and made up on the spot]].

* [[Girls Love|Pairing off the numerous female (due to its eroge roots) characters]] with each other. Far easier in Fate than Tsukihime, unless you're a [[Foe Yay]] or [[Twincest]] kind of person.
