Naw, she just wants to die for her honor. Saber is a drag.

The only reason I like Saber is her armor actually makes sense. Its one of only a handful of fantasy armors that do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2469234

I like her gauntlets most of all.

Right hand has a lot of joints for fine movement (as she's most likely right-handed), left only has movement for gripping the sword. The right gauntlet is smooth, while the left is heavyset for using as a shield.

[Lacuna !k4IsHiAtus No.]

>>2469256
Huh. I never noticed that. But the picture there has the jointed gauntlet as her left hand. Does that mean she's left handed?

[Anonymous No.]

well, they didn't much care for practicality and made saber lily.

not that I'm complaining or anything

Her left hand has only 1 finger, the other 3 are in a mitten-style cover. Hard to see in >>2469256, though.

Not necessarily. She would have been trained to fight right handed.

Ah. The small plating did not show up on the right hand in the original picture since it was turned away, so I assumed the plating on the left hand were the joints.

THIS.
Fucking loved F/SN from the moment I set my eyes on Saber because she's one of like 5 characters ever in weeaboo culture whose armor actually looks practical and wields a non-katana sword that looks realistic.
Say what you say about Takeuchi sucking with anatomy and Nasu's plot gimmicks but the designs Type-Moon does are godtier.

Also the lawful female type in armor always appealed to me, especially with blonde hair. Saber is an awesome moeblob besides, can morph into a really serious character to make me go awesomesauce, Saber Alter is an evil version who's actually evil and not "baaaww-nobody-likes-me-so-I'll-become-an-evil-machine-of-death-and-turn-good-in-the-last-episo
de" and finally Saber Lily has THE best armor design ever anywhere, fuck practicality if I can get her.

Gilgamesh's armor is good excluding the FUCKHUGE shoulder plates, Archer's form-fitting future armor is pretty good too.

5th Lancer's FUCKHUGE shoulder plates are awfully out of place, though, and 4th Berserker's full-plate is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

>>2469353
After carefully thinking about it, it would work pretty well. Lots of places to deflect shots into and damage a blade. No real places that you are going to deflect a blade into yourself from many different angles (the reason you mold the chest as one piece and not separate breasts for females). It covers, very well, all of the vital areas and deflects them into other parts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2469390
They are actually on the die of the knee(not in the joint).
Also, Gil's armor is mostly Ornamental, hence the gold.

Well, this is HEAVY riding armor, not light infantry armor. Its possible to have flexible joints, but the weight is an issue.

one of the reasons why I like fate/zero's lancer a lot. If lancers are the fastest of all the other servants, they don't really need that much armor if they're just going to dodge

[Anonymous No.]

>>2469408
I just assume the band looking thing is something similar to padding or maile that you normally put under armor and went from there. It is a fantasy thing, and I did give the artist that much credit. Otherwise you are right, you can't move at all.

Full plate was lighter than a modern infantry loadout, and more evenly distributed over the body. Athletic people can easily run/jump/get onto horses/etc. in full plate. Even swimming in full plate is possible.

I was more saying it to point out how easy plate armour actually is to wear than the alternatives.

plate - 20kg (nicked from another post here)
my hauberk - 12 lbs

The plate is easier to move in, wear, and do most activities. The only real problems are getting up (such as off your ass), getting it on (its a 2 man job), and the price).

The armor is made that way to differentiate with Outer and Alter Saber's armors. If rumors are to be belived, she's so fucking overpowered in combat that an extra opening in her armor doesn't even matter.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2469849
What is the problem that people have with this armor anyway? It still covers up the most vital hit areas. It also doesn't direct strikes back into vital areas. I'm usually one of the first to bitch about fantasy armors and I find nothing wrong with this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2469849
>>2469905
I don't understand either. The only bigger flaw it has is exactly the same as normal Saber armor, no shoulder pads (This actually always bothered me). But it's a lightweight armor, covers forearms, the highly vulnerable(or more like easy target) chest, hips and most of her legs. Moving should be pretty easy as long as she has strong legs(lol Saber with her mana dashes) and she can probably dodge a lot. Besides the leg armor looks very well jointed so it shouldn't hinder much. Fighting with the sword in a high position will make up for the lack of shoulder pads a bit too.
tl;dr It's a fucking good design for a fanservice armor that essentially has bare shoulders, armpits and zettai ryouiki.

I enjoyed Saber, but she was reduced in FSN where she was shoehorned into acting all moe and waifuish for the sake of the route. She is -way- better in Fate/Zero where there's no stupid Shirou to fucking things up.

The Gilgamesh/Saber hatepairing is far superior.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>2471061

Cuchullain Ulsterinhurtta - the second baddest motherfucker in all of pagan Europe. Easily most underrated FSN character.
His other heroic feat include but are not limited to:

Singlehandedly getting his king out of a blood feud by killing off the heirs of the rivalling clan at age 5, just prior to the hound incident.
Jumping from Scotland to Skye as the bridge wasn't helping.
Taming a possibly "the king of horses" dragged out of a well (why no Riding skill? Liath Macha is just as legendary as Cuchullain).
Fighting all of Ireland alone. No comment.
As a corpse, maiming the guy who cut off his head.
Actually having a harem of yanderes if you count all the psychotic girls he was involved with. And lived.

Ah yes, those.
The jewels are explained later as being a metaphor. "His brow is the meeting place of many virtues".
As for the dimples, those are still a mystery. Sometimes children have dimples that disappear with age - perhaps it's a reference to him growing up quickly but never aging?
