    Well the synopsis makes it come off as the aftermath of Grail wars, so while it can definitely be disconnected from fate (since it gives off a chobits/Plastic memories vibe) it also doesn't necessarily need to be disconnected from it.

    What if our protag here is actually a wild card who can get all servants but she yet to awaken that power?

    thats why Persona`s, cuz Persona 3 claimed that Wild cards who can have more than 1 persona are unusual and most people have 1 persona that might change, no collecting for normies

    and if the series is long enough, you can bet some people will change Servants or have more than 1

    also, the info blurb says its a servant related to your fate, so its similar to Persona`s who are implied to be based on your issues,hang-ups...

    and summons a servant that embodies their fate.
    You know, this part actually might be the most potentially interesting one. In prior incarnations, while sometimes the fates of Servants and Masters were tied or linked, that didn't have to be the case.

    Astolfo's fate certainly didn't mirror Celenike's at all. Neither do Caules and Fran's.

    Iskandar and Waver's respective lots in life didn't exactly match either, going with how different they were as individuals.

    Sakura sooner or later gets freed from her torment, which is something Medusa never got to experience in life and couldn't as a Servant either, other than a single ending.

    Here, however, a strong parallelism between the fates of Master and Servant is implied, so does that mean a stronger theme of pre-destination and probably how to fight against it? I mean, you should worry the most the most tragic and short your Servant's life was, shouldn't you?

    I mean if we're going by the previous train of thought that the premise sounds like a magic highschool LN, i'd give it until volume 4 before some foreshadowing that gets revealed at around volume 10 or so.

    It's from Kusarihime. Very influential VN by Meteor. Inspired several authors to write one of their most significant works.
    Like Urobuchi to write Saya no Uta, Nasu to write Heaven's Feel route, Tanaka to write Cross†Channel and Ryukishi07 to write Higurashi. Everything came from here.

    Oh yeah I just realized something, as much weird the premise is, it has a predecessor.

    "Highschoolers Fighting in a grand tournament in a Cybernetic World in the Moon as the Earth has devolved into a dystopian landscape."

    Cybernetic world in the Moon also sounds like cybernetic world in the Sun of Digital Devil Saga 2.

    So far, none in sight. Then again, strange/fake doesn't have a saberface either, so I guess it's stopped being a requirement

    Huh, while I'm not especially fond of horror so most of the things it inspired are things I can't say I'm particularly fond of, that does make me wonder where this story will go. Though it's probably not going to go too dark, seeing as how besides the servant killing aspect' the universe this takes place in is one of relative peace.

    Why would you not use your highly successful brand whenever possible? Fate is the brand of Servants, not using it would be one of the worst marketing moves possible.

    Not... particularly...? Do we just use the word saber face Willy nilly for every slightly blond servant now??? I could swear it actually required the servant to actually look like Saber in the past

    I also don't think, that this will go so dark as Kusarihime. Just most likely it just take it's melancholy and combine it with style of original Saint-Exupéry's story. And in tone it will be closer to either Zvezda (in worst case), or Forest (in better case).

    No, looking like Saber has nothing to do with it tho. Most Saber faces dont like Saber except for superficial similarities. From Jeanne to Okita. To be Sabee face though you would have to be intentionally remarked on being made an expy of Saber and Richard is. Of Arthur anyway. You have to tell that his design to his abilities and to his master isn't a intentional expy and inspiration. That's the idea behind him anyway
