    Nasu sneaking a Haruhi reference into a story he wrote in 1999 would have been impressive given the first novel was still years away from release at that point, but yeah, all the Easter eggs were written by mirror moon. I don’t remember if they announced it when they released the patch or played the joke straight, but that’s what it was.

    Okay.

    Hear me out.

    What if, re: F/sn's in-game encyclopedia, it's not that Shirou sees all of the Servants' parameters as RPG stats, but it's how we, the readers, perceive the system?

    Now, I might be mis-remembering. I think there're probably some F/sn quotes floating around where letters get thrown around, but if so, I don't think that's supposed to be a case of literally everyone sees them as RPG stats--an increasingly inherent gamification of the setting--it's just that the A's and the B's and whatnot are used as universal indicators of measurement in-universe. This would be consistent with the flavor text of everyone seeing Servant parameters differently, yet also account for letter grades.
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.

    I'm pretty sure it's canon that the letter grades are universal indicators of measurement, not necessarily reflecting how they appear to any Master in particular. But also it's perfectly reasonable that Shirou, a modern Japanese teen who's likely familiar with RPGs and whatnot, would literally see them as game stats.

    The Letter grades do seem to be universal with Saber calling Rider's np A+ and Rin saying that that's almost at the level of Sorcery. Shirou mentions that he can put 'numbers' to Rider's stats so assuming he's being literal then his view of servant stats is numerical and different from the way we see it.

    Doesn't he make a reference to SMT or Persona when watching Kotomine eat the mapo tofu in that Chinese restaurant?

    Maybe it's like the TARDIS translation matrix and it's automatically translating the dialogue to RPG terms so that the epic gamer audience can better understand.

    idk we had Jinako explaining GodArjuna's world modding in the most understandable gaming terms and made everything surprisingly easier to comprehend.

    And then we have Tine Chelc who see stats of Servants as flows of rivers.

    It's really on how the characters see the stats of their Servants.

    And I don't know with the light novel of Fate/Zero, but last time I checked, the Magi rank their Servants' stats in gaming terms rather than mystical terms.

    Dang it, inconsistency.
    Not dealing with it...

    Why even try?

    what's an EX rank river look like

    Expresses the exceeding size of one's library.
    Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
    At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

    Good one, OP, good one.

    Never knew there's a day where I have to ask myself that question too.

    Ok, I imagine that's literally how it showed up in the novel, but I don't get the correlation at all.
