    If they don't want to make the last boss of GO a Beast Angra Mainyu then I'm good with this too.

    I don't know. I like that he's here but 1) he's a pseudo-Servant and 2) he did enough in FSN. He's fine as an underling of the big bad but I don't want him as the big bad himself, let him watch over the birth of whatever they're helping and do away with him after that.

    Was there not Nasu’s line that he keeps most of the F/SN characters out of the story because they’re complete?

    Yes, though I would like for them to make a appearance. It's nice to see old faces.

    Yeah, and that's why we don't see Makidera anymore.

    On the other hand Alter has showed up multiple times in main story, same goes for Cu, Medea, Medusa, Gilgamesh, EMIYA, Herk, Hassan, and we even got Kojirou one time.......

    Not even counting events....

    So IDK if I buy it.

    The Alter, Cu, Medea, Medusa, Emiya, and Gilgamesh are all variations which is different from the og cast. Only Herk and Hassan showed up as characters as their old selves and retained roles in the story and they were the characters with the least amount of development from the last games too

    IDK if you can really call Cu Caster a variation in terms of his actual character, I can give you Cu Alter as that's literally Medb's stupid imaginary friend.
    Same goes for Saber Alter, in fact Saber Alter seems pretty much exactly the same.
    Gilgamesh is pretty much the same person in a different setting.
    I feel like calling Ana a different person from Medusa is bullying.
    EMIYA ya I suppose.
    Medea was lily in Okeanos but EOR4 it was just vanilla Medea.

    The new Casters are different. In that overall their character is the same but they have new roles. Cu instead of being a warrior now serves as a guide now that he is a druid and that was how he interacted with you. Caster Gil is the same now that he is a wise king. Nasu even once stated that he is different in that when he was writing Babylon he mentioned he had trouble with adding Gilgamesh as an ally since we already seen that in CCC, it's only when that he thought of writing Gil after he did his quest for immorality and returned that he was able to write.

    Saber Alter is in the same category as Hassan and Herk, my mistake. The thing is as a character we never interacted with her much outside of an antagonist. Shinjuku fixed that.

    Salem Medea was Circe. Medea did show up but she had a minor role

    I'll be pretty happy if Rasputin comes back for the summonable Kirei but I know it ain't happening.

    This is true. That’s probably why we don’t see them in main story in those iterations

    Comedy events and other shit is fair game. It’s not a bad creative decision and tbh, I’d rather have it that way instead of coming off just riffing the same damn thing

    It makes me remember somewhere else when someone said they rolled their eyes at Anastasia’s description of Rasputin to be a fake out to make it look like it was describing OG Kotomine instead

    Like it someone was to call that hack writing I’d probably wouldn’t do a rebuttal against it.

    so yeah I’m in the same camp as pinetree
