I mean, one of the people in Rounds of Lionheart is Robin Hood, so

[Reign]

Technically yes I guess, but a different Robin

There may be better chance for Richard's Robin to get more relevant later down in the franchise.

[Mattias]

As much as I think Alf Layla wa-Layla is a cool NP I wish they hadn't just shoved all of the Arabian Nights into it because it means we're unlikely to ever see figures like Ali Baba or Sinbad as Servants, and I think cool stuff could have been done with them.

Technically I guess there's nothing stopping it in the same way there's nothing stopping Ionioi Hetairoi or Rounds of Lionheart characters from being more fleshed out, but I do think it makes it much more unlikely.

Also I know it's beating a 5 year old dead horse but Scheherezade's character was done dirty.

We've also got Holmes and Moriarty who are known fictional characters. Hell, isn't Moriarty a few different ones all cramed into one origin so he could pull a Jenova?

[Reign]

He's got the Freeshoter (the German folklore guy) in him. That was Shinjuku's thing, everyone introduced there was fused with a spirit that wasn't strong enough to be a Servant on their own, like the Headless Horseman and Lobo.

[Mattias]

Then what about Yan Qing? I don't remember him having one? Or Jalter and Salter, but that might be explained away as them being allied Servants, even though IIRC Holmes is the only one from Chaldea who comes along.

[Reign]

Jalter and Salter weren't introduced in Shinjuku

Yan Qing has Doppelganger folklore I think? To epxlain his transformation powers.

Oh I thought you meant everyone who appeared, not just the new ones.

was going through old bookmarks and discovered this, didn't realize tm twitter april fools was completely archived
https://anime.chaika.moe/tm2015/timeline/

i assume maybe people knew about this but just thought i'd share in case anyone was interested in looking back when tm april fools was actually good

[Altima of the Gates]

Nice. If only we could have part 2 of the idol storyline, but with Vtubers.
It would be an instant smash hit, but who would we use this time, because while TM may have some fundage now, rigging and models takes some hefty moolah, so we'd probably keep it to a few.

[Mattias]

Models would be a lot easier now, since we have Extra, Extella, FGO Arcade and all that SFM porn to crib from.

[Namelesss]

I think I saw Nasu at anime expo going to ask about the mahoyo sequels

[Crown]

ddd3, but as a vn

[Altima of the Gates]

Maybe actually have a re-release of DDD in its entirety first. If there is anything I've seen in this fandom, its that just throwing stuff out just leaves things to fizzle out without the proper setup.

[Petrikow]

They just re-released DDD digitally, I'm pretty sure.

[Namelesss]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY SHOWED MAHOYO AT A FGO PANEL AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Altima of the Gates]

That would be an instance of actually smart marketing. Showing off your other works on the backend of a stream for one of your most popular franchises?
They are effectively making FGO streams a mini "TM Direct".

[AmADo VII]

TM has been promoting Tsuki, MB and Mahoyo stuff in recent FGO streams.

or Aniplex should I say.

[Herod]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY SHOWED MAHOYO AT A FGO PANEL AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, and...?

[Comun]

It's unarguably the most natural place to show it.
