Everyone gets the short end of the stick in at least one route.

Except for Rin I guess, who is okay in all 3.

And Lancer, who eats poo poo in all 3.

Hahaha.

So a bunch of Servants in FGO got updated voicelines recently, one of them being Siegfried.
And in one of his new voicelines he talks about his legendary cursed treasure, Das Rhinegold, and that after his death it eventually found its way to a family of German alchemists called the Einzberns. He then concludes by saying he hopes the curse wasn't passed along too...

I imagine Salter went back to the hill too in the HF timeline(s).

"My queen, why have you suddenly become two shades paler? And why are your eyes gold now?"
"Bedivere, I feel like I have just woken up... from a very long dream."
"Oh?"
"It loving sucked." *dies*

So is Emiya at the end of Unlimited Blade Works supposed to be basically a demi servant afterwords? The whole demi servant concept is kinda confusing me

Going by FGO terminology, a Demi-Servant is a designer baby who has had a heroic spirit summoned and implanted in them from day one.

Summoning and letting a Heroic Spirit indwell you after you've grown up for a while as a normal human is a Pseudo-Servant.

Emiya in UBW is a human, more or less.

Summary posted:

There used to be a big war back then. The war ended and the world became peaceful. Everyone now has "Holy Grail" and summon a servant denoted by fate. Only one girl, Erice Utsumi, does not have it. The girl encounters a servant boy who was last summoned in the world. But she still does not know her fate.

Uh. Hm.

Congrats, Ozymandias is one of the best Servants in the game so that was a nice bit of luck. (Unfortunately due to being a later release some of his level up requirements are gated behind later story chapters)

Also there's a dedicated thread for Grand Order in games so you can head there to ask for advice or Friends if you want:

Prisma's canonicity is dubious to Nasuverse. And if we take FGO as canon it comes from a different Universe (as distinct to timeline) because it wasn't incinerated by the BadMan.

You'd think that if she didn't like her resemblance to Seibah so much Waver would help tell her not to wear her hair in the exact same way the King of Knights did.

His FGO profile implies that at least part of the reason he's content to remain locked in Avalob forever is that he sees it as penance for meddling with Saber's destiny.

Cursed Arm Hassan was used as a major player in a main storyline chapter but it's not like there's a lot to mine in backstory or characterization from his FSN showing.

Kojirou also gets a part to play during the Part 1.5 anthology stories.

Lastly Heracles and Medea have relatively more minor roles in story chapters (I'm counting Medea Lily as a separate character here)

Overall it's not really a huge gulf. Gilgamesh technically shows up but his role and personality is far enough removed from FSN Gilgamesh that I don't think he'll spark confusion.

That line was a reference to a comic that joked about how Double Merlin+ Buster Servant was the go-to team composition for those who didn't want to bother thinking about game difficulty.

Gilgamesh gets defeated in FGO by way of this cunning strategy:

1) Get him blind drunk
2) Dogpile him with 5 Servants at once.

Alternatively sit his rear end in his throne room until he succumbs from overwork. Either or.
