@Mirakura

Now that you mention it... you are right.
LOL, never realized she is THAT young-looking, Shirou as well xD
So that would make Rin 16 and Sakura 15 years old.
Shirou, you made pedobear proud. Just sit there until I call police.

Protoss are boss (in SC1 at least) My wife for hire!

That said, Saber's supposed to appear to nearly be a prepubescent boy (per no one getting suspicious in her time), so not sure why Shirou would think she's almost as old as him, physically.

But that battle dress. Man everything about that is awkward.

Brother Coa · 2014-09-11, 17:18

Was Nasu actually that lazy at not writing their age?

So... Run -17, Sakura -15, Shirou - 17 and Saber - 16 ( according to Shirou ).
And Ilya is basically 8 years old child by her looks.

Well Saber isn't actually 16 (obviously) so 16 year old body, should be at least 30's-40's going by normal Arthurian legend, no idea how long she lived until she made the contract in Nasuverse.

mirakura · 2014-09-11, 17:49

Nasuverse - 25. Caliburn at 15, 10 years as King, death, e.t.c

Actually, I believe normal Arthurian lore is like 40-50 years as King. Not sure where/when it was stated how long her reign was in the Typemoon universe.

Also, I like that Zero!Saber x Shirou picture. Though I can't imagine her acting like that... Nero, perhaps.

mirakura · 2014-09-11, 18:10

Her breasts are too small, lol. Shirou is being swayed by the knight in the suit

. Nasurian lore(lol), states she reigned 10 years and 12 battles. It was in one of Shirou's dreams. Mentioned like twice in the VN. Would you eat Archer-cake?

Brother Coa · 2014-09-11, 18:24

I know all of Shirou's dreams and I don't remember reading anywhere the precise year she has ruled. I remember he mentioned only minor details like the retreat of Romans and how she was lonely during her rule, some details of final battle and that's it.
Since Nasu based her on King Arthur it's normal to based her life according to legend except things we know that he had to change to fit Fate universe. So Saber would be around 50 years old if she continued to age normally.

mirakura · 2014-09-11, 19:04

Nope, it's in the dream, I just finished reading the VN, I need to look for where it is in walkthrough and post on game thread..

He gets various costumes (through unlocking in game) that armor is one of them. Plot wise I have no idea.

Posting this just for the LOL, and for the joyful news from Scottish referendum this morning.

Spoiler for Happy Saber:

GreyZone · 2014-09-19, 02:43

^To be fair though, contrary to the other 2 kings, Saber did not conquer those lands herself.

Brother Coa · 2014-09-19, 03:15

Her nation did, and as their everlasting King those are her lands as well.
It's not important how you ruled - it's what you left behind.

Ugh, just had to be reminded that Arthur(ia) is English in Fate-verse -_-

According to a guidebook (I think it was called something like "complete materials") the official romanisation of the name is actually Altria.

Bahahaha. How the fuck did you forget, or did you not pay attention to the mythology of King Arthur. What's next oh no Hercules was Greek as was Iskander (well they known as the Macedonians generally).

Japanese would read that as Aruthoria (or similar, but still resulting in something that sounds similar to Arthuria). However a Westerner would read it in a completely different manner (as Altria or Altʃra) which offers a question if that romanization should even be used in English language as pronunciation would be completely wrong from Japanese perspective.

I conveniently make myself forget ;P
Ancient Macedonia was a Greek state so that one is actually not wrong.

Well the Japanese have the problem that they cannot pronounce a simple "t" or "d". Usually they can always use katakana that end with -u like "su", "ru" etc. but in the case of "t" and "d" they must use "to" and "do" instead, which sometimes messes up the pronunciation, as it is the case here.
