Everyone should be able to imagine that when you have been thinking about a toy for a long time.
Now I finally bought this toy.
But when you open the box, you're disappointed by what's inside.
The official photo of the toy clearly shows that it looks handsome like Thor from "Infinity War", but the real thing looks the same as Mr. Xu.
Although Mr. Xu still has a unique charm, he is the type that becomes more handsome the more you look at him.
But I believe no one will feel happy the moment they open the toy packaging.
After all, it is too much to say that the goods are not the same as the version
This is the feeling that the Washimine press conference now gives people.
Everyone thought that this press conference would bring unforgettable surprises to everyone.
However, the content being played now is indeed surprising and unforgettable, but it does not contain any elements of joy at all.
The audience at the scene was relatively polite, but many people who were watching the [See Moon] live broadcast online started cursing.
Especially in areas with a large time difference with North America, audiences in these places got up in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast of the press conference.
As a result, it is really hard to be satisfied with only such content.
In fact, this video clip of "Prologue" is still very good.
Under normal circumstances, fans wouldn't mind watching such a wonderful official clip.
But definitely not now.
Everyone was waiting for you, Nanaya Kiryu, to announce your new work, but you just rehashed the old stuff at the press conference?!
No matter who it is, no one can tolerate this kind of thing.
Even Shiori Kaede, the most die-hard fan of Kiryu Nanaya, could not hide his disappointment after seeing this press conference.
He shared his comments directly on 2CH.
[What is this for? Is the surprise that Kiryu Nanaya mentioned the DVD trailer for "Prologue"? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻]
[Shouldn't it be...? →_→]
[Definitely not. There will definitely be new content later. I just hope there will be more new content, not just a little bit like the last Easter egg. (??ω?｀)]
Just when the forum began to discuss how long the "Prologue" would be rehashed, the content about the prologue in the video finally came to an end.
On the screen, when Black Saber swung the black holy sword at Mashu, the entire picture was shrouded in black light.
At this time, Nanaya took the microphone and spoke to the audience.
"FGO "Prologue" is the latest large-scale special effects movie released by Washimine Entertainment this year, and it is currently in theaters."
Naturally, his words were booed by the audience.
Nanaya didn't care at all, instead he nodded vigorously.
"That's right, these are things that everyone knows."
An audience member yelled at the stage.
"I know you're still rehashing the same old stuff?!"
"It's just a little joke~~" Nanaya laughed at the other person.
Then Nanaya changed the subject: "The Fate series has been around for 6 years now. During these 6 years, everyone has gotten to know many characters in Fate."
"And now, I will introduce you to the new characters."
As the lights on the big screen came on again, the audience saw the iconic halo of the FGO singularity.
[The continuation of human nature and the search for the Holy Grail, this is a story of reclaiming the past and finding the future.]
A male voice served as the narration. Audiences familiar with Fate knew that it was the voice of director Nanaya Kiryu because they had just heard him speak.
But since this is a promotional video for FGO, the person who reads the narration to the audience at this time should be Romani.
What makes the audience feel a little relieved is that this time the pictures are no longer the content of "Prologue", but character stills of Chaldea members.
[Travel through human history and reclaim the lost future.]
Mash, Ritsuka, Da Vinci and Romani appeared one by one.
When Romani appeared, the originally soothing BGM began to rise.
[In a world where the future has been lost, the Master of Chaldea will embark on a journey of exploration.]
[The greatest Holy Grail War in history begins.]
The title of Fate/Grand Order appears on the screen.
When the title disappeared, the scene of the burning Fuyuki Market and a still of Black Saber appeared on the screen.
Looking at the subtitles [AD2004 The Polluted City of Fuyuki Burns], many viewers felt a pang in their hearts.
"Will there not be another long introduction to the contents of the Prologue?"
"It's hard to say. Seeing as they just showed the PV of "Prologue", maybe Washimine doesn't have much to offer."
However, this time the audience guessed wrong.
On the big screen, Black Saber only appeared for a moment before disappearing.
The next thing that appeared was the first painting among the batch of oil paintings released at the end of "Prologue", a picture of a giant dragon and a girl.
In the blurry background, a black flag flashed by.
A woman wearing black armor and with short white hair appeared in front of the screen.
Audiences familiar with Fate immediately recognized this as Lily.
"Is this Black Saber's new look?"
"No, this armor style... is Jeanne d'Arc!!"
Although Lily Jeanne's appearance only appeared once in FZ, in the Marshal's memory.
The whole time was less than 10 seconds.
But that gentle and sunny expression has always left a deep impression on fans.
In fact, almost every year fans send petitions to Washimine, hoping that the official will allow Joan of Arc to appear in future movies.
This time, the audience got what they wanted.
But it seemed a little different. After all, the Joan of Arc in the marshal's memory was not so dark.
"She should have turned dark like Black Saber, right?"
An audience member analyzed, rubbing his chin.
His companion did not respond at all, but was completely captured by the image of Black Joan of Arc.
"As expected, I still can't resist the temptation of black... It feels so good!!"
"You are just a simple masochist!"
The friend who felt ashamed punched the other person on the head.
"Since there was Joan of Arc, it should have been during the Hundred Years' War, right?"
As a famous French heroine, Joan of Arc's name is known to almost everyone.
And the moment she appeared, the audience immediately made guesses.
And their guess was not wrong.
The subtitles that appeared immediately after Black Jeanne explained the content of the first singularity to the audience.
[Joan of Arc AD1431 The Hundred Years' War of the Orleans Evil Dragon]
At this moment, the audience finally burst into cheers for the first time since the press conference officially started.
Even though everyone had guessed the background of this singularity, everyone was relieved that it was finally something other than the "Prologue".
The next person to appear after Black Jeanne is Musashi.
Because of the feminine nature of the role, no one can guess who Yui Aragaki is playing this time.
So before the subtitles came out, everyone could only sigh, "The actor who played Sayaka Miki is holding two swords again."
However, after the subtitles came out, the audience was even more confused.
[The stage of the bloody river on the mountain of corpses in Shimousa Province in the 16th year of Kanei in Shinmen Musashi no Kami Fujiwara no Genshin]
"Huh? What's that long string?"
What European and American audiences hate most is a long list of subtitles squeezed together.
Fortunately, there were people in the audience and on the Internet who had a relatively good understanding of Japanese culture, and they directly acted as science popularizers to explain it to others.
"Damn! Is Kiryu Nanaya happy now?"
After hearing everyone's explanation, many viewers felt unhappy with Nanaya's behavior of taking off his pants to fart.
"Kojiro and Musashi... Is it really the Ganryu Island showdown? But what does this have to do with human history?"
Many viewers were surprised that Washimine chose this event.
As for the setting of the female Musashi, the audience was indeed a little surprised, but it did not cause much waves.
For European and American audiences, it doesn't matter whether Musashi is a man or a woman, because they are not familiar with this character anyway.
Moreover, Yui Aragaki's performance in "Madoka Magica" is very good, so everyone can accept her playing the opponent of Kojiro Sasaki.
Even Japanese audiences do not have much doubt about it, as feminizing historical figures is a traditional art in Japan.
Although Type-Moon is the most famous person for feminizing historical figures, he is not the only one who has done this.
Otherwise, why are all the Tang Monk played by women in the Japanese version of Journey to the West?
Only a small number of fans who are very familiar with Japanese history noticed the timing problem.
The Battle of Ganryu Island took place in the 17th year of Keicho, and the battle should have ended long ago during the Kan'ei era.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened during that battle, which affected the course of human history?"
It's a pity that there is so little information available at present that we can only put our doubts aside.
Because the introduction of the next singularity has arrived.
The key figure who appeared this time was Rachel McAdams, who was wearing a sexy white lace dress. Her sexy and cool outfit made many men swallow their saliva subconsciously.
[Maeve AD1783 The Mythical War of United North America]
Everyone was stunned when this title came out.
Because of Cu Chulainn's active performance in the Prologue, fans also know the big dog's background story.
So Fate fans are more or less aware of the character Maeve, but if it is her singularity, it should be in ancient Ireland. What does it have to do with North America? !
And 1783 was the year of the United States' independence. Could it be that the United States could not become independent because of the attacks by the followers? ?
If the audience was cheering when the first Servant Jeanne d'Arc appeared, thinking that their years of petition regarding Jeanne d'Arc had been successful.
When the second servant, Musashi, appeared, the fans' reaction was as expected.
After all, someone had already guessed something through Sasaki Kojiro.
When the third servant, Maeve, appeared, everyone was a little confused.
Because they couldn't imagine how Maeve, a character from Celtic mythology, would relate to North America, where the story takes place.
But this is far from the end. When the fourth new character appears, everyone becomes even more confused.
A woman with pigtails, glasses and a book in her hands appeared.
The subtitle explaining this character is [Akuta Hinako, the First Emperor, the Great Qin Empire, the Human Intelligence Unified the True Country in 2165].
At this moment, the entire audience at the press conference once again collectively typed black question marks.
"Who is Akuta Hinako?"
