Who Writes Fate/Grand Order?

I'm curious what this is based on. I know it's popular in Japan, but it was panned a lot more heavily among English-speakers. Most polls over here seem to rank it third of the four 1.5 releases.

Awesome article! I really wish more story-driven mobile games could be considered for the future. I’m sure FGO can be that big an inspiration.

Personally I have really enjoyed everything I've read of her Steampunk Series. It's a really weird mix of steampunk, Cthulhu Mythos and the sort of fairy tale-esque sentiments one would find in Revolutionary Girl Utena, and it goes down incredibly well. I'll agree that her early efforts on FGO were anything but the best, though I still find it hilarious that she's being given the solitary blame for the quality of those chapters when Higashide's efforts in them were nothing to write home about either.

Considering his devotion to Nitroplus, I honestly doubt Urobuchi would ever go back to Fate.

While I don’t hate Septem like others do, I would say that I found it the least memorable of the Singularities, and not just because it was one of the early ones. Put me down as another person who enjoyed Shimousa though. I’d love to see adapted to anime, and it would probably be the Singularity in Part 1.5 that I would have the least hesitation in it being adapted. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Shinjuku and Salem at least as much, but I think the former could be more difficult to adapt without losing anime only fans a bit and one aspect that appears later in the Salem could cause some fuss if it were adapted. I suspect those who have played the game know what I’m getting at about Salem.

^I was referring to Abby's outfit in her later acensions, given her age. I suppose you could present those forms in ways that people will find more age appropriate than, say, her 4th ascension, but then that could lead others to scream censorship. Then again, it isn't too far from Jack's outfit in Apocrypha, and I don't recall that being too much of an issue, so maybe that would turn out similarly. Even in that case, it could make it more difficult for me to recommend.

Nasu has said in interviews that he wants the players to understand that the Fate series can't just be reduced to his own contributions. In his words, "the other writers are amazing too.”

Well she wasn't censored in the US version of the game (I love her 2nd ascension best personally) and I doubt they're going to censor Abby if they ever do an anime adaptation, Apocrypha and Prisma Illya already prove lolis won't be censored in Fate anime even when they're wearing skimpy outfits. Anyway I doubt most people would care anyway considering the context of it and the fact Salem has so much great storytelling surrounding it.
