Talk:Li Shuwen (Lancer)/@comment-26333303-20190218141200/@comment-4141313-20190914014524

@Lehst: EXTRA made a point to show that Young Li Shuwen didn't actually fit in the Assassin Class, and was only that class cause his master screwed with the summoning system. Especially since even without his Spear, Li was more of a martial artist, something Assassin's normally aren't.

@Raq: What retcons have they even made? The only retcon I could find was that Arturia's Excalibur now has seals on it like Arthur's Excalibur. You can't say them no longer restricting the Assassins to the 19 Hassan-i-Sabbah is a retcon they made, since they didn't make that retcon. ''Apocrypha did. The two Assassins there, Jack the Ripper and Semiramis, are not apart of the Hassan-i-Sabbah, and the only other Assassins to be summoned yet not ''belong to them were Sasaki Kojirou and Li Shuwen, both only happening due to their summoners tampering with the system, since Sasaki would normally be a Saber, and Shuwen a Lancer.

@Hammer: Wrong. Nasu is the one who approves a lot of the stuff in the game, and is responsible for writting several arcs. FGO isn't standalone either. Many of the servants introduced in the game have been used in other installments with the same characterizations and dynamics, namely Scathach and Arjuna being in Extella Link, and Altera technically debuting here before Extella while providing foreshadowing towards it.
