Speedy180’s Class Warfare event issued the challenge to editors to edit a video showcasing one a character or set of characters that exemplify one of the Fate/Stay Night hero classes (the original eight classes were available for this iteration of the event).
The timeframe for the event unfortunately coincided with the prep period for Anime Boston 2025, so I decided to put together a video in an Iron Chef style (about four hours of actual editing).
Equilibrium had come up in conversation in the same Discord server a few months before the event, so it was fresh in my mind when I went looking for an idea, and I knew that I wanted to use some sort of epic movie score style of audio track. I considered “O Fortuna” and “Duel of the Fates” before settling on “Liberi Fatali” as the audio track.
I debated whether to submit it as an Assassin video or a Berserker video, but ended up deciding to go with Assassin, partly because I knew that there were a lot more Berserker entries already.
It got several positive comments in the live streams of the event, and I think it’s pretty solid, especially as an Iron Chef project.
Video – Equilibrium
Audio – Nobuo Uematsu – Liberi Fatali (from Final Fantasy VIII)
