There is no evidence whatsoever for it being her, other than some vague assertion by a guy who was certifiably insane that she looked a bit like Saber. Until we get something more conclusive than that, I'm gonna assume it's not her, because what she's wearing and the sword she's using simply doesn't fit with Joan of Arc.
Yeah, I'm not entirely fond of going on Caster's words either, since the guy was obviously a nut. Though Joan of Arc is famous for wearing armor, that doesn't mean she wouldn't - or rather, couldn't wear a dress.

I always imagined Joan of Arc with a halberd or a shield to compliment the sword. Though it seems all we are getting is the sword -- regardless of it being her or not.

I think that that one has been Jossed now, judging by what people on Beast's Lair are saying about the newest information on the website.

I believe Nasu came out and confirmed that he is canonically male, and that it's not him.

Yeah, perhaps (although she's famous for dressing like a man almost exclusively) but if she was summoned as a servant, you'd expect her to be summoned in her battle clothing, not her standard wear. Besides, she was a peasant. She wouldn't be able to afford a dress like that, even if she wanted one.

One interesting thing though: Saber got shorter. In F/SN, she's 154cm. In Fate/Extra, she's 150cm. The fact that her bio page says this has to mean she's a new Saber, since none of the other Servants listed have a height in their bio.

If they replaced an awesome character like Rider and still kept in someone like Shinji, then I say they're doing it wrong. If you're going to replace half the cast, you might as well replace all of them.

Let's not be hating on Extra Shinji just yet. After all, he's only 8 years old in this.

8 years old? Excellent, that means he won't be as corrupt. There is still time to save him from the outdated chauvinistic views he clings to in series/in VN.

You never know, you might actually be able to change him into a pretty decent kid.

Though I wish Lancer was one of the possible servants you could get. But alas, Rin has him. Good thing? Archer is up for grabs.

"So as I pray: Unlimited Blade Works." will be so awesome, always is and always will be. Though I have to wonder, are they adding a level-up system? I can't read the text.

That's what it looked like.

Well, if nothing else
Spoiler for Heaven's Feel:
But I think that Shinji's problem is more fundamental than just "outdated chauvinistic views". If Sakura were male, I'd imagine he wouldn't think of her any more highly, and he would certainly have made Rider use her bloodfort on the school.

Woah guys: before we get too far ahead of ourselves:

Is it going to be translated or brought to an English audience? (doubts it)

Probably not officially, given that even the original VNs don't have an official translation. But I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see fansubs (eventually).

For some reason, this post doesn't surprise me at all. Or should I say as expected?

Anyway, back onto a different topic, there's also some evidence that it's not Arturia Saber.

I think we can theorize that relatively well already. Her height was apparently changed, thus the clear possibility of this Saber not being Arturia.

We can only really know who Saber is until we get concrete evidence or more hints at her actual identity. I'm not even going to take my prediction seriously if there is no strong enough probability/evidence to back it up.

So alas... We wait for more information. Or we wait for the game to be released. I would like to be optimistic and think it really is Arturia, just modified differently from the rest. Like I said: Optimistic.

Surely you can't disagree with what I'm saying, though. Misogyny has very little to do with Shinji's attitude....

Yeah, exactly. There are a lot of hints that it's not Arturia (she has a different voice actor, she looks different, she has a different height and so on), but absolutely nothing that would really hint at who she actually is. All the people who claim she's Joan of Arc based on nothing more than the fact that a guy in the fourth war who was certifiably insane thought they looked kind of similar make me laugh. She could be Joan of Arc, perhaps, if Nasu has decided to entirely ignore the details of her legend, but there is no evidence for that idea whatsoever.

Oddly enough, there are a hell of a lot of Saber fans who are saying that they hope it's not Arturia, because they don't like the redesign (in particular, the way she's grown breasts and been turned into a slut...).

New servants are posted. A pair of twins (who I think are a set of Masters, despite being in the Servant section) and their summoned techno-demon thing, along with what appears to be an Aztec warrior who wields a bow and lance. However, all of their identities are being kept a mystery (even says it's a mystery in their description).

Oh, Kotomine is shown in a few of the videos. And they really go out of their way to make sure you don't hear Saber's voice.

Okay, that video was weird. Fujimura is in the game, still as a teacher. Sakura is in the game too... as the school nurse?

I think that they're intentionally making the status of the twins ambiguous, so they could be either.

Well, apparently she's got a different voice actress to the FSN Saber, so I guess that that is an indication that she's not Arturia (and that they're trying to make this a big reveal when the game comes out).

I think she's the 'helper NPC', who gives you items and such like (and probably heals you...).

Ugh, I don't think this bodes well. I would have to agree with Saber being Jeanne d'Arc, though. And the Shiro/Archer team could backfire... seeing how one want to kill the other, but they might've changed that out or something. I hope Cuchullainn will get more of a role this time.
