| While reading the VN, I observed that the Nasuverse is in fact extremely similiar to the White Wolf Mage/Werewolf/Vampire/Changeling etc settings. As such, it falls prey to the same sort of problems regarding power level inflation. There are a ridiculous amount of high-powered characters running amok in the setting, but Nasu never seems to write in the proper consequences for their skirmishes and fights. In Japan you have at least 4 Major Mage families (Tohno, Kishima, Nanaya, Asagami) and 3 Minor houses (Emiya, Einzbern, Tohsaka), the members of which have enormous powers comparable to Vampires (for the former) and Servants (for the latter). And then there are people like the Ciel and Arcuied, who take on Servants for lunch. Given that Servants have the power to level cities easily, that the Masquerade remains intact strikes me as silly. Any thoughts on this? |

Are you just intentionally burning a straw man and knowing full well that you're changing the subject and misrepresenting a claim? |
