I'm really not a fan of Level-5 (probably expressed that in the past on here at some point), but I'm interested to see what they can do with Matsuno on board.
As for Fate/Extra, Saber spoiler[is Nero], if I remember correctly. |

Wait, I thought Saberspoiler[was Arthur]; I only watched the anime series. To me not much of a spoiler, but it does make things so much interesting now. I would really like to see this version of Fate/Extra as a new anime too. Last edited by TC-man on Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:37 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'm pretty sure that each time a different Holy Grail War happens that the servants represent different historical legends? So while with Shirou Emiya's Holy Grail War Saber indeed was spoiler[King Arthur], for this game (which I assume is about a different Holy Grail War) she represents someone else.

It looks like (from what I've read) there's a whole bunch of interdimensional, alternate universe, virtual-reality nonsense going on in Fate/Extra, so I wouldn't really worry TOO much about cannonicity.

Fate/Extra is not about a Holy Grail War/Heaven's Feel, and is in a completely different continuity.
Yes, in the 5th Heaven's Feel, Saber was spoiler[King Arthur/Arturia (as well as in the 4th)], but in Fate/Extra, Saber is spoiler[Nero]. For reference, these are the known Servants (spoilers for Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night TV, Fate/Unlimited Blade Works, Heaven's Feel (game's third route), and Fate/hollow ataraxia): Archer, 4th War -> spoiler[Gilgamesh] Archer, 5th War -> spoiler[EMIYA] Assassin, 4th War -> spoiler[Hassan-i Sabbah] Assassin, 5th War -> spoiler[Sasaki Kojiro (self-proclaimed)] True Assassin, 5th War -> spoiler[Hassan-i Sabbah] Avenger, 3rd War -> spoiler[Angra Mainyu] Avenger, 5th War -> spoiler[Angra Mainyu] Berserker, 4th War -> spoiler[Lancelot] Berserker, 5th War -> spoiler[Heracles] Caster, 4th War -> spoiler[Gilles de Rais] Caster, 5th War -> spoiler[Medea] Lancer, 4th War -> spoiler[Diarmuid Ua Duibhne] Lancer, 5th War -> spoiler[Cu Chulainn] Rider, 4th War -> spoiler[Alexander the Great] Rider, 5th War -> spoiler[Medusa] Saber, 4th War -> spoiler[King Arthur/Arturia] Saber, 5th War -> spoiler[King Arthur/Arturia] In Fate/Extra, there options and choices that change who the Masters and Servants are. For Servants who you can choose, I'll mark "Protagonist" and "Non-Protagonist." For Servants you can't choose but have multiples, it will be "Option 1" and "Option 2": Archer, Protagonist -> spoiler[Unnamed, but same design as EMIYA-Archer] Archer, Non-Protagonist -> spoiler[Robin hood] Assassin -> spoiler[Li Shu Wen] Berserker, Option 1 -> spoiler[Arcueid Brunestud] Berserker, Option 2 -> spoiler[Lu Bu] Caster, Protagonist -> spoiler[Tamamo-no-Mae] Caster, Non-Protagonist -> spoiler[Nursery Rhyme] Lancer, Option 1 -> spoiler[Cu Chulainn] Lancer, Option 2 -> spoiler[Vlad III the Impaler] Rider -> spoiler[Francis Drake] Saber, Protagonist -> spoiler[Nero Claudius Ceasar Augustus Germanicus] Saber, Non-Protagonist -> spoiler[Gawain] I already know I'll have to play through F/E multiple times, because I want to see all 3 non-protagonist Servants, and both Lancers (only care about one of the Berserkers). |

Those captions you put in for the three games are both quite amusing and true if you think about most company mindsets. I'd have to agree since companies rely way too much on cashing in using big name series to stay in business. They could localize a crappy Pokemon bus driving game and still people millions would buy it because it's got Pokemon in the title. I'm afraid that's how customer mindsets work.
Wicked Monster Blast: Todd....no, just no, okay? No. The art style looks heavily reminiscent of that god awful Panty and Stocking garbage. Last edited by belvadeer on Thu Jul 07, 2011 3:33 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Fate/Extra is developed by Imageepoch and published by Marvelous Entertainment, not developed & published by Imageepoch. So the "supposedly working with NIS America" thing doesn't really apply to this title. NIS America's partnership is to publish the games that Imageepoch publishes in Japan. |

I wonder what Bob Woodhead thought about The Dark Spire.

(Also part of me just thinks they'll rerelease these for Wii U with updated graphics and other Wii U enhancements which could explain NOA's stay-and-wait approach. Still, bad move on the PR side of the American branch.)

Huh... well... this is something rather interesting. VERY interesting. From the official Operation Rainfall blog:
If this really pans out, then I guess I won't have to eat those words of mine that still held out hope for the localization of these titles, like in my earlier post in this thread... |

It appears that in this industry, "We have no plans to release product X to market Y" means "We don't want to announce it yet", and can be because they would never release it in a million years, or because they are planning to announce next week.
