Doggirl Kaleido Luvia is top canon.
I slaughtered all the werewolfs for their nuts in FGO, there are no more werewolfs.
They'll come back next year with a vengeance, and thus the farming will continue anew
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
But aren't Nasuverse werewolves a different species altogether? Doesn't seem to have much room there for the classic shapeshifter - unless maybe there's a magus with some weird animistic magecraft out there?

I now know the role of werewolves in this cluster of a fictional universe. Neat!
I am the herp of my derp. Hurr is my body and durr is my blood. I have created over a thousand derps unknown to durps nor known to hurps
have withstood durrs to create many derps yet, those hurrs will never herp anything so, as I pray, Unlimited Derp Works~
Because somehow Kiritsugu managed to make GARcher look like a pussy.

You know I was just thinking about the differences and similarities between Sigurd's Volsung Saga and Siegfried's Nibelungenlied and it just hit me. One is Brynhild route and other is Kriemhild route. Now thanks to that dumb connection all I'm now thinking about ia how it look if adapted into a VN. Ha
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"

If Apocrypha was a visual novel, what other routes would it have?
Astolfo route comes to mind.
Something
You know, I often wondered just how Nasu decided upon Gae Bolg as a causality reversal attack, since it's nowhere in the original myths, but it clarified a lot when I read that the entire basis of Cu in the original VN was the concept of "fatalism" and the accompanying cynical idea that wishes can never be granted.
And what better exemplifies fatalism then an attack that's literally unavoidable if not for the ability to defy fate itself? (An ability which Cu itself is crucially lacking, it must be noted)
Maybe y'all already realized this ages ago and I'm just slow on the uptake, but it never really occurred to me to consider it that way before and when I finally did, it suddenly fit together why Nasu chose Gae Bolg to work that particular way. Rather then deriving from any particular anecdote in his myth, it instead represents the entire narrative itself. Shows just how much thought and research goes into the Servants we see, I suppose.
...Or at least it did back in ye olde days of Stay Night, I have no idea how much thought is put into the narrative themes behind Servants now that they're being practically shovelled out like candy in Grand Order. (Not to diss on the GO designs, and I'm far from one to criticize when it comes to shovelling out Servants like candy...)

It's because Gae Bolg is a cursed spear and because he decided that curses work like this.Originally Posted by mahou tsukai no yoru
Apply that to a spear that will always hit the heart, to this and the reversal of cause and effect becomes obvious.
It's just nasu taking bits of his world and explaining something mythological with it.
Until Mcjon tore apart Mahoyo we didn't know.

Given how apart those two entries (Stay Night and Mahoyo) are, I think it's just as likely Nasu decided on the curse initially for thematic reasons and then tied it in with part of the broader lore afterwards.
And do all curses really work by reversing causality? What you're saying sounds like it'd apply to the unhealing wounds curse on those Gae Bolg has already hit, but not the initial strike's causality reversal...

Um... Mahoyo came out in 2012, while Stay Night debuted all the way back in 2004. What are you talking about?
If you mean the core ideas of Mahoyo are older, then since we don't know what exactly those shape those ideas took until they were released, it's still perfectly conceivable that they were influenced by those introduced in Fate.
