This is ridiculous. No, I am not going to explain "psuedo servants" etc etc. But in your rush to prove just how "smart" you are for seeing the 'exploitative' and 'devious' evil plan the game developers have, you are completely blind to some very simple truths.

This is a FAN GAME. First and foremost. Produced by a company that still considers itself a doujin circle, making content that is essentially a celebration of a continuing fandom.

I not only grant that they should be allowed to insert repeats of older characters that are central to the fandom, they SHOULD.

And in fact, they have shown considerable restraint when put into perspective. There are around 250 servants. almost 70 of those are SSRs. Only 3 are Rinfaces now, and 4 total. Taking the 3 original franchise heroines, 18 out of that 250+ are derived from them. Oh my god, what a travesty.

And look at story banners. Main story chapters where, as the name implies, most of the real plot of FGO happens. Almost entirely new and original characters. Only a few like Skadi break that mould....even then Skadi's base character first properly debuted in FGO.

Maybe consider that as much as the great perspectives on historical figures, the expansive lore and strong character interactions, this franchise is also as much about character fandom. It is great because its all of those, the sum of its parts. You do not speak for many of us, especially the old crowd, even if you are one of us. Some of us see things a little more holistically.

And if there's any complaint I have about "damn, another Rinface", it's because there other "heroine" characters who are waiting for their debut or could use more varitations. It's the timing, I would have been fine if Space Ishtar was next year after having say Shirou/Muramasa, or another version of Eresh, or even minor characters like...Tokiomi, as this event reminds me. Don't be conceited in thinking just because someone else has a problem with it, they have the exact same reasons and thinking as you do.

Get your head out of your ass.
