Huh, not even a mention for the gender selection?

But yeah, this game's a fun read, though I still enjoy the combat, mostly because of the music.

That's after the tutorial if I remember correctly.

At least it gave us fun nicknames for them in events. Assassin of Shinjuku is still Sassy-shin to me.

I haven't played GO so I don't know if he's ever shown up, but I imagine Lu Bu could be summoned as any of Lancer, Rider, Archer or Assassin (as he was known for his martial prowess, horseback archery, having, like, the best horse, and also murdering his masters repeatedly). I can only imagine the confusion of finding out the guy who just shot you with a bow from horseback is actually a Lancer.

One problem is that a Servant can be limited by the class they are in with regards as to what they can use from life. King Arthur can be summoned as a Saber or Lancer but she ain't gonna be swinging Excalibur around as a Lancer. Diarmuid Ua Duibhne dual-wielded a sword and spear in battle and had another sword and spear for less dangerous times. As a Lancer, he uses both spears instead and both swords as a Saber.

I have seen this NP so much. Extra!Vlad is my anti-Evil beating stick extraordinaire.

I figured Caster was Tamamo just because that was the only fox spirit with a sordid past I knew of. Though frankly, the extent of my knowledge of major Japanese myth and folklore is mostly limited to having played both Nioh games. Which are frankly a great source of late warring states period and miscellaneous yokai trivia!

On that note... Have any notable figures from those games ever shown up in Fate? I'd imagine Honda Tadakatsu would be a Lancer you would NOT want to gently caress with, since one of his major claims to fame is being untouchable on the battlefield.

Characters who were in both Nioh and FGO include Nobunaga, Muramasa, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, Yoshitsune, Benkei, Ashiya Douman, Minamoto no Yorimitsu (as Raikou) and one more who is a spoiler for the EXTRA CCC manga.

Gawain wasn't a self insert OC, he dates back to the early Welsh stories. It was Lancelot then Galahad who were OCs do not steal.
