Finally, an oppurtunity to buy a game and get a genuine game/world related merchendise, and on top of it all, related to Rin.

Finally a Rin merchendise and not yet another version of Saber.
But then it is revealed, Aksys, as funny as they are, make a deal with GameStop of all places, GameStop apparently, happens to worse at shipping overseas than a pigeon would be.

Ignoring the UK, GameStop practically expects people to charge an additional fee equal to the full price of another game, just to get it shipped.

Buying the limited edition of Fate/Extra, which is already more expensive than the regular version, only to pay such a fee on top of it? That's just crazy, no can do.

Fuck GameStop for being so awful. And fuck Aksys for making deals with them.
Why couldn't it simply be part of the regular limited edition?

>ARTIFACT ON THE MOON

For Fate/Extra, isn't it more like, the moon is an artifact?
Giant quantum supercomputer disguised as a moon, that is.

"That's no moon" jokes everywhere.

Granted it might perhaps not be one of the best renditions of Rin.
But it's still Rin regardless.

It's funny because Fate/Extra's Tohsaka Rin isn't Rin, it's just a Tohsaka bastard child using a skin shaped after Rin in the cyberspace thing they have going on

The real one is blonde.

That fake Rin is just her avatar in the SE.RA.PH.

Generally publishers have to make a deal with Gamestop and include preorder only shit or else Gamestop won't stock it very well or at all.

Yes fuck Aksys for using the largest corporate vidya distribution hub for physical media when the alternatives of dying mom&pop shops fading the world wide with inferior resources are superior choices.

making this comment reminded me i hate the state of vidya industry right now. FUCKING GAMESTOP

Extra is set in a virtual world thing, most of the characters who appeared in Fate are there just as player skins. the Shinji player is a genius child or something

Just look at this. Why do they even try?
I wonder how many people actually import stuff from GameStop. Can't be many at all.

Apparently Nasu was letting them write their own stuff but had to step in after seeing their trainwreck of a plot, and I guess he just decided to work with it and call it an (extremely) alternate universe rather than change it all.

The best part is Nasu rewrote the game.
So rather than just being essentially bad fanfiction, it's official at the level of bad fan fiction.
