I don't know. I just can't take female Saber as seriously when I think too hard about it. It just doesn't pass fridge logic.

There's also this one screenshot of prototype Gilgamesh that is totally awesome, because the blood on his face makes him look kinda like Kratos from God of War. http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/ima...ype_Archer.png

But if they ever *do* get Fate/Prototype green-lit they seriously need Gen Urobochi to finish the script. That man is a genius.
it wasn't so much as hiding her gender as most people just ignore it. People were sick and tire of the civil war and getting raid by the vikings and the Normans.
