Not truth. Since their Notes company is one of main producers they have pretty big influence, conversely Ufotable has very small influence on final decision.

Sorry, but no. Ufotable is just doing hired job. They have no licence, beside supporting merchandising.

Already stated as not possible and pointless. See post above. I really know that you wish it, but there is now more likely that we will get completely new story with Saber, than remake of Fate route as was in VN.

Stated but not proven.
Also, the post above also said that they would do it if it would sell since they are most interested in money.
Fate anime about Saber, I wonder how much would they earn.... especially if they do the ending that literally entire fanbase asked and would pay to see it....
I would pay to see Nero and Mordred as well, not just Arthuria.
But we shall see, either way more Fate anime is always a win-win for me. Even if they do not do Fate route remake it is fine as I like 2006 version more than FZ and UBW anyway.

Given how much there was Saber centric materials attached to UBW anime merchandising, not mention that some of them were direct replacement of "missing" Fate route, and even Saber's portrayal and additional scenes in anime were given same way, is pretty much clear that there are not any plans for Fate route in near future.

Well, if you seen previous Type-Moon's productions then, once they became famous, money were never only motivation into any their project, but always there was also some artistic challenge. Even fact that current anime was UBW adaptation was result of that. If they really were just about money, then already current anime would be Fate route as was originally planned and not UBW route.

As you can see on yourself, fanbase will be pretty much satisfied with any Saber pandering they will get. So they really don't need go with Fate route which is from an artistic perspective already pretty much pointless to adapt, and not really fitting into anime media as currently is. Moneys really aren't argument, as why adapt Fate route, that can earn moneys when you can make completely new story with Saber and earn even more moneys.

....................

Few hours later on official twitter:

What I was saying. There is no need for Fate route anime in terms of money.

[Brother Coa]

So?

Last I heard from Ufotable is that request was high for Fate route remake and Last Episode, and just because you think there is no need to remake Fate route does not mean that you represent the entire fanbase.

All I am saying that you and I can just talk, it's Ufotable's decision. And if they really decide to remake it with Nasu's new vision I would be the first one to buy that. As many would do I am certain of that. And judging by fanbase requests they cannot ignore that for any extend periods of time.

Others can just ignore it, or enjoy some other fate related media if they really don't want to see new remake like you do. Just like I will not see HF movie when it comes out because I didn't like that route.

[AntonKutovoi]

I expect Apocrypha or H/A. Don't think that they'll adapt Fate route right now and F/GO's story is unfinished yet.
Well, my personal wish is to see a story about dismantling of the grail.

[Tenzen12]

Yeah, Lord El Melloi II and his tsundere and saberface companions all the way (putt Flat in his harem for additional hilarity)!

Anyway I don't think FGO is viable option, being finished it not I doubt more than Fuyuki/Orleans would be adapted anyway.

[Stark700]

Fate/Grand Order Anime very likely to get animated now. I assume this might be the "project" scheduled for AnimeJapan this year.

[Levani]

The hype is back.

I wonder who could possibly animate it? We know Ufotable is busy with God Eater and HF.

[Diluc]

True the hype is so strong for this
Drei and Grand Order plus HF 2016 truly the fanservice year from typemoon
but why have to be Grand Order?
i don't mind with GO but i would like if they focus to animate Fate/Hollow Ataraxia first, after all it is the direct continuation of Fate/Stay Night.

Not really.

[Sheba]

IF it is really FGO, please, dear anime studio, choose the female protagonist.

[Seafoam]

I kinda wanted an Extra adaptation.

[Nachtwandler]

I doubt it cause they alredy used Gudao in previous iterations. And considering, they won't replace Mashyu with Gudako like in the manga...

Agreed. There is a reason why I chose to use the female character in my FGO account.

[Nachtwandler]

Nasu already denied the idea of having female MC in F/SN unfortunately. So I doubt we'll get it this time.

P.S.: I personally play as Gudao but I just don't like to use female player avatars.

Absolutely no logical base to assume this. They're the same character in terms of characterization. One has a VA already, who is at the event, and the other doesn't. Anything they'd do with one they can do with the other.

One way or another, we will stumble upon that issue if it really is F/GO anime, but Gudako has better chance to evolve into something for several reasons, she is a female MC in an action oriented setting which is unusual, she has an already established personality of a troll and that can translate into something serious and Mashu's relationship with her would have more depth than a typical male/female interaction. If it goes with romantic undertones between Gudako and Mashu, great, if it doesn't, also great because female/female close friendship is also unusual.

So basically, your reasoning is "she's a girl". Sorry, but that's awful reasoning. The main character already has a personality and script in the game, and it's EXACTLY the same for both the male and female version.

[GDB]

Except you're implying that a male character with development, personality, and lines is, by default, a hollow character while a female version with the same development, personality, and lines can be better because she's a female.

It's literally the same character. The only two differences are visual design and voice. Literally every other thing about them is the same. Don't confuse "different gendered" as "not hollow". If the male version would wind up hollow, so too would the female version. If the female version were something unique, so too would be the male version.

[GDB]

Basically, you're saying you want them to rewrite the character. Because otherwise I don't know how you expect them to go in a "direction" that's any different from the game.

Also, Mashu alone already fulfills what you want. She's the one actually in combat, after all.

[GDB]

Any of that which would be shown in an anime is already shown in either the game or the audio drama.

[Levani]

I didn't even know a drama CD existed.
