Fate/Grand Order Story and Lore (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[castor212]

.

in perfect honesty im just winging it up there

- - - Updated - - -

tqs for bringing that up

it actually makes me remember some stuffs in the story in a slightly different light lol

[Marros]

you forgot some

Saber Wars is nonspecific
Journey to the West is China/India
Counterfeits is mostly Italy, I guess

also, well, Nerofest is arguably a seasonal event and Kougetsukan was a collab event with a FGO Holmes-themed escape room

Oh yeah... good point. Something something blocked out the trauma of Jttw.

So the Japan favoritism isn't quite as prevalent as I thought. Though of course they tend to show up in force when they do. 3 events about them, they're the important ones in each Gudaguda, Shimousa was entirely Japanese, and of course weeb king Gilgamesh in Babylon. Really the only place you'd expect Japanese servants and they didn't appear was Shinjuku where the only one was an edgy OC Donut Steel.

[Qinglong]

Late but the closest thing I have to a 'national' hero in GO is Blackbeard or Bi Pirates so yeah

[OverMaster]

Heroic Spirit IRWIN.

If it weren't for the "no modern servants" rule he would 100% qualify and no one can convince me otherwise.

He would dangle his infant son over a pit full of crocodile worms, thus making him a perfect fit for the Nasuverse.

[Reign]

As long as we're on this topic, while America isn't really lacking in Servants I'm still surprised and a little confused they went with Edison for the presi-king character and not Washington.

[Kotonoha]

Washington can't be Tesla's rival

[JetKinen]

Columbus was Italian

Dude was Italian.

Not to mention Hernan Cortez and Francisco Pizarro would have worked better in his role, maybe even Ponce De Leon or one of the guys from the Guipuzcoana Company. GO Columbus was pretty much Cortez with Columbus' name tacked on; even Dreamworks got that one right with Quest for El Dorado.

Columbus is italian but he worked for the Spanish Crown.
He is such a part of the Iberian cultural sphere in fate that he is the OG Conquistador here with that skill on EX.

I don't know how others feel about it but I don't really have any connection to native Brazilians or their legends, getting a Servant based on them would be cool but wouldn't fill the Brazilian servant void for me. I imagine the rest of Latin America feels the same about incan/maya/aztec servants, no?



If it followed the trend of the other Foreigners in which it's just the historical person but with alien powers now then I would actually like this tbh.

What about Tupã tho

[pinetree]

What about Tupã tho

Their creator god, god of light and thunder right? That's pretty much all I know about him. Would be cool to see, but there's no familiarity here. He feels as foreign to me as Quetzalcoatl.

[rxrx]

Well, I did hope to see Giuseppe Garibaldi, but is he considered too new?useppearibald

[asterism42]

One of GO's main characters is an Italian Servant

[Iceblade44]

Well, I did hope to see Giuseppe Garibaldi, but is he considered too new?useppearibald

I wouldn't think so, looking at the dates he lived through a quick search has him living in the 17 century which would be the same time as Marie, Sanson, Mozart. People like that

- - - Updated - - -

Scratch that there from a century earlier but still that has the guy living before people like Tesla and Edison

[Spartacus]

I think the only non-native South American I quite familiar with is Toussaint Louverture. I dunno what kind of functional NP you can get from people like him tho.

[OverMaster]

Non Native South Americans? Well, there's Bolivar, San Martin, Miranda (who had strong ties to France, BTW), Jorge Luis Borges and Horacio Quiroga for writers (although Quiroga wouldn't bring much to the table if they write in a Caster Lovecraft or Poe before him), La Llorona (or her equivalent La Sayona), Martin Fierro (pretty much a grittier, Gaucho Pecos Bill figure) and Doña Barbara if we're going into literary characters from public domain, probably you could even bring El Chupacabras in.

As for Mexicans, there's Priest Hidalgo, Pancho Villa, Frida Kahlo...

[Iceblade44]

Isn't that guy from Haiti?

Well if anything if they ever want to do a more modern yet super influential South American person people like Simon Bolivar would do it, his life had major impacts for many countries. As for Brazil, I only have the info Civ taught me so I only know of Pedro II.

Snipe..

[Rafflesiac]

Bolivar

Simon Bolivar

Now there's a meme waiting to happen

[Spartacus]

Ah... I always mixed Latin America with South...

Just show how much uninformed I am about things not from Afro-Eurasia.

Read pinetree's sheets and you can get a good idea of BR candidates

Now there's a meme waiting to happen

He'll be a loli with a fondness for European heroes and a liberty gimmick for sure. Maybe also a taste for coffee?

[OverMaster]

Jokes aside, Fate really doesn't much loli stuff with genderflips, does it?

Other than Leonardo, Bunyan and Jack the Ripper (who almost certainly was no woman), I can't think of any other cases right now.

Saber Lily was more youthful acting than Saber but physically the same age as her.

And the other lolis are either OCs (Illya, Kuro, Nursery Rhyme) or Lily looking versions of real life and myth figures who were female already (Disgaea Empress, Blavatsky, Loli Medusa, Jailter, Chacha, Medea to some degree, Mary Read).

Edit: Wait, I just remembered Shuten-Douji. Much to my regret.

[Nikiri]

you count Mary as loli?
