Well, those things doesn't happen in just one city. Fuyuki, Misaki and Mifune are three separated places, and probably they are far from each other (that will explain why they don't talk about the events on other works). Also, aside from Fuyuki, Misaki and Mifune there are others places where some things happen. In example, the Mage's Association have the Tower Clock in London, where many magus train.

It's normal to know like Nasu's style. I mean, just like everything, it's impossible to create something that will be loved by everyone, specially when we talk about writing. However, I'm with you in that thing you said: leaving his writing style aside, the concepts behind his works are really wonderful, and before F/GO those concepts were solid. And yeah! Fate/Extra was a great game. :P It wasn't 100% canon, though. I mean, those Servants are canon and everything, but Fate/Extra is acclimated in a future that is just one possible future, and not THE future. A timeline where the magecraft doesn't exist anymore (that's why everything is inside the net).

F/GO is... well, something weird. It's supervised by Nasu, and the Orders are created by him. So we can say it's canon, and if I remember correctly he said it's canon. Also, in F/GO we find a few things (very few, believe me) that explain some mysterious about other works. In example, thanks to F/GO we know why the Throne of Heroes exist. The Holy Grail War didn't created it, and the Throne doesn't exist just to help in the Holy Grail War. The HGW just benefit from its existence. But on the other hand it break a lot of rules previously stated. In example, thanks to Fate we know how difficult is to give enough mana to a Berserker class. They consume a lot of mana. However, in F/GO you can walk everywhere with five Berserker class, give them mana to stay alive, and also give them enough mana to sustain their Noble Phantasms.

Another example is Mad Enhancement. The Mad Enhancement skill drain rationality to the Servant, but give him a huge buff in physical attributes like Strength, Agility and Endurance. And the "EX" rank means the skill or the attribute is so huge that you can't measure it. So by common sense "Mad Enhancement EX" must drain almost all your rationality, if not draining it all, and give you an extreme boost in physical attributes. But what we have in F/GO? Mad Enhancement Ex means "The Servant have an extreme boost in physical attributes, but he can keep his/her rationality sometimes or whenever he/she want".

The big problem about F/GO is how it's a game about marketing, about create things that the players want to buy. So they will do anything they can as long as they can sell.
