With Emiya it's fine, it's just seeing Shirou and Tamamo interacting that is exceedingly bizarre.

I’d take it up a notch further and say seeing anything of Shirou outside of FSN is pretty jarring. Like, an actual crossover between different works you wouldn’t expect to interact.
BL Character Defining Lines
100% real facts.
Either that or just make a new proper sci-fi IP. Go all in or go home, this lukewarm clown cocktail of Fate and scifi aint it, nasu.
I was using my phone, but doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

technically the forms that we usually associate with them were avatars made by their mecha forms

why would you go with urban fantasy if FGO 2 is a global ending event level problem?
and nasu does have specific sci-fi shit. that is why we have Extra. some stuff occasionally ties into that, but that is it
They also became more humanoid Divine Spirits post Sefar in normal timelines, so there's that.
Why should the setting of one story interfere with the setting of other?
Also, why are talking like there's an inherent benefit to making the stakes less personal?
the larger the stakes, the less they matter

extraverse falls very comfortably under "lukewarm clown cocktail of fate and sci-fi". Its not a new proper sci-fi IP, its lol what if Fate happened inside a computer on the moon. And it sucks.
The sweet spot stakes-wise is something that's really important for the characters, but in a relatable way, and enables character conflict.
Go too high, and it becomes unrelatable. Go too low, and it becomes trivial.
Another problem of super high stakes is that their very nature tends to involve tons of characters, so there's a real risk of diluting focus. It's harder to make a story with super high stakes and a reasonably, well-knitted / developed cast (for what little I know about it, FGO doesn't even try)
High stakes are better when you slowly start building up from something small. Fate route is a good example - only very late in the story it is revealed that world destruction is at stake, and by that time we already know the characters and their motivations well enough.

don't quote me on this

The problem is making it a global ending event level problem in the first place.
The Holy Grail War was a failed ritual in a magical backwater. The major conflicts of Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai revolved around some serial killers, however supernaturally charged they may have been.
I don't give a rip about Nasu's time-traveling, dimension-hopping, humanity-erasing, husbando-and-waifu-collecting fuck-a-thon.
Give me intimate stories about damaged people or give me death.

So you guys just want the same kind of story again and again, and F*ck nasu if he wants to do something different.

I mean, I understand not being able to relate to the task of saving the world, but there is a difference between something being not relatable and something that doesn't matter.

"intimate stories about damaged people" is a very broad category with a lot of potential for new stories. It won't get repetitive any soon.
But back at the topic of stakes, one aspect no one mentioned yet is how tension happens when the hero side's loss is plausible. If the stakes are the literal end of the world, a loss is never an option, so a reader will never believe it can happen and tension drops to zero. Of course, this kind of tension is not mandatory to any story, you can still make a lot of great stuff without it, but it's always preferable to have.
No, thats Nasu.
...Was anyone thinking, even for a single second, that the hero side was going to lose in any of Nasu stories? really?
Because you are too young. Or too stupid. Or both.
The stakes nasu stories are never about winning or losing, they are about what needs to sacrificed 9n the way to victory.
