Nope, wasn't apparent or obvious at all - as I know some people who actually consider the whole "counter Op with moar OP" to be an actual, viable soloution. :P

Also, my post wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I was just throwing my two cents into the ring when this matter was concerned. ^^;
Also, also, I personally hope there won't be anything like Bounded Fields or Realioty Marbles in this.
Oh god, please no SymphoGear... x_x

Meta-gaming and God-moding will always be a problem, no matter what you use as a counter-measure (aside from outright killing your players if they do any of it). Some people just can't (or don't want to) play fair, and others do it either subconsciously or without thinking too much.

However, certain ideas simply don't work, one of them is countering over-poweredness with more over-poweredness. Since, eventually, you'll end up with The Unstoppable Force clashing against The Unmovable Object, and then you just end up with the galaxy imploding and everyone text-messaging you a bunch of frowny-face emoticons.

Not telling people what you've prepared doesn't work either, since then you can just pull shit outta your ass - litteraly. "Oh, you're attacking me with your beam-sword? Well too bad! I prepared a mirror trap that reflects all beam attacks! Oh? You dodged it? Well done, too bad I had pit-falls dug where you dodged to!" and so on and on it goes, with both sides having "secretly" prepared "hidden counter-measures" for all eternity.

In the end though, does it really matter? If SKys is goiung to use Eye Space, or something similar, for the battles, then there won't be any need for traps or tricks, since - quite simply - you won't have time to set those up. The best thing you could do would be something like, attacking a single person with allies or other magicians and ganging up on one guy, or distract said guy while you let someone else blast him/her from afar. This won't be Fate/ with things like Bounded Fields and Reality Marbles after all.

At least, there has been no mention of bounded Fields or Reality Marbles thus far...
So... Did Haru drop this or what?
I mean, he hasn't posted in either OOC or IC in a long while now...
So... Who do we have onboard so far?
The Future is NOW, thanks to SCIENCE!

Srsly though, Jed 'n Trollpire, you should both click it. It'll make Skys feel better - if nothing else. 8D
Still lacking 10 peeps if you want all-player characters. ;<
Can't you nab some folk like Animus, Skink, Rodey(stinx!) or sumun to fill out the ranks? :o

EDIT:

Putting an Interest Check in the "General Interest Check"-board, with a link to here, might also be a worthwhile consideration! :o

EDIT2:

Actually, scrap that. I'm sure Skink's busy with the college, and Rodey... Well, Rodey stinx. ;o
Hooray for future answers! :o
ALL THE INTERESTS!!

Maybe it'd help if you added some info the FAQ?

Like, what are Yggdrasil Seeds? And how do they work?

Where does the story take place?

How does the magic-system work? Since it's "Fate"-like, does that mean we must have Servants/Guardians and Masters? Or are there other ways to fight in Ragnarok?

How many players are you looking for to participate?

And so on, and so forth. Just some questions from the top of my head. :P
Chuckle*

There are sine ubcibsustebcues wuth your post Jedily, a few of thejm are trifling and not at all a problem - but some of them are rather major.

1. Aito's last name is not Haru, Haru is the username of the player who plays Aito. xD
2. The arms in the mirror are ethereal and translucent white, not rotting (this is a minor offense, I actually liked your description better than my own)
3. The screams of the children from beyond the mirror are not limited to affecting only Shiori - everyone in the same hallway as her can hear them, and the're very loud, conversation is all but impossible unless you're shouting into the other person's ear. (Major issue)
4. That last text-message on Kaku's cell phone was rather long... xD (Not really an issue)

Other then that, you seem to have a pretty good idea going there, about the mirror I mean. ^^
You're just gonna leave poor Tsubasa in that mirror?
What if the world warps while we're going back to get the others? He might be lost forever then... :P
