What I also see promising about fate/prototype is that it could just take place in an entirely new universe (and it would all fit within the Nasu multiverse via Zelretch's 2nd magic). It's an opportunity for more plot twists. It's an opportunity to explore other possible Holy Grail systems and rules and plot twists based on new ways of breaking those rules.

As good as Fate/Zero is, I feel like it was only good *in spite* of being limited by canon, because Gen Urobuchi is just that good of a writer. Now it doesn't have to Gen, but the writer should be someone who's willing to break established tropes. They should play with the idea this time that the UNIVERSE bends to the will of a good plot and not the other way around.

It's gotta be something that does for the Fate series what Madoka did for the Mahou Shoujo genre. Goes without saying that it should also have the usual suspense, high-octane drama, GAR, Charisma, Crowning Moments of Awesome as well.

But with a loose cannon like Urobuchi behind it, we'll never know if people earn their happy endings, or if everybody dies; Until we're finished watching. And it would be f**king fantastic and exciting as hell to watch.
