Close enough. As for the clothing... fanservice. Obviously. Just like Rider wore a skin-tight short skirted outfit with a spiffy eyeband boots instead of a toga.
I'm probably going against the flow here... but I really like the dress. The sword is silly, but the dress looks spiffy. Well, the idea is that you play the game without looking for spoilers on the net. |

Neither Medusa or Medea were particularly heroic either. Then we have Angra Mainyu, the very opposite of heroism, while Fate/Zero gives us the lovely child killer known as Gilles de Rais. Suffice to say that being a great hero isn't really a requirement, you just have to be well known.

I'd say that our 'Red Saber's' true identity (if that is indeed the correct one), while not unknown by any stretch, doesn't really have that mark of real 'greatness' going for it... except for that one other guy up there. Spoiler for Angra Mainyu:

But doesn't that logic (that is, great feat unknown to history) basically let anyone become a Heroic Spirit? Unless their life was documented in its entirety, anyone could have done something great that we don't know about. Just seems like a stretch to me.
Seems to me like they just wanted to troll everyone. Make someone who you'd never expect, and with good reason. Same with Rider. |

Until he went crazy, he was an incredibly heroic knight who had even managed to earn the honor to wear the Fleur de Lis upon his shield. Additionally, Nero did nothing but be beyond insane. Wait, Drake, as in the privateer for Elizabeth Sir Francis Drake? If so, does (s)he pull out a boat?

... That came out wrong. The gist of it is that Angra Mainyu is famous, but the actual event that qualified him to become a heroic spirit isn't part of his legend. So epic spirits must be famous, and must have done some defining thing to qualify them, but the thing they did doesn't always have to be why they're famous. For most heroes, it is, but not all the legends are accurate. Maybe. I'm just guessing myself, so... Well, there are some historians who think he might have actually been a more popular emperor than modern thought gives him credit for, but basically yeah. Hence my above theory: He's famous for being crazy, but did something to give him that extra bump to 'epic' and earn invitation to become a Heroic Spirit that didn't make it into his story. Quote:

Heroic Servants can only be drawn from the Throne of Heroes. According to the Ring of Reincarnation, when someone dies, they move up or down in their next life depending on their actions. If someone's actions were so great in their life, they are thus removed from the ring entirely and put into the Throne of Heroes. What could Nero have possibly done that was so great?
Drake saved England practically by himself, he was the most famous privateer.

I wonder if there'll be an english patch for this? I'm growing in anticipation~
I wonder if choosing the servant affects the character's personality? (This was brought on by Flinch. Since I can see the similarity in master/servant personality.) |

They should add that, if it's at all possible. I'd buy it on the spot - plus it has more replay value added to it. If Flinch could, I'll let him explain what they could do with the integrated system. (I hate explaining.) |
