@Valeth Yes, I did acknowledge that Shirou has the benefit of choice given that Stay Night is a VN making it an integral part of the game's mechanic.

And yes, Sieg is a little more palatable than Kirito is. Though for me, what made Sieg better in Grand Order is just the fact that he's actually started to interact with other characters on even ground. I can't read Japanese but I saw him interacting with Achilles, Chiron, Jack--in Apocrypha, at least in the anime, he was mostly confined to just interacting with Jeanne and Astolfo. Playing through the event really makes me think that maybe taking Jeanne out of this proved to be better for Sieg's character overall. Both seem to shine better when not with each other. That's not something you can say about Kirito whose interactions tend to be with female characters exclusively and with romantic undertones too.

@Arcuied Regarding the anime, my thoughts about it are pretty typical: There are parts I like (Mordred, pilot episode), parts I'm mixed (soundtrack) and parts I didn't like (rushed animation in the final fights).

Yeah, they have to work on a budget but given that I jumped in coming from Zero, UBW and Gundam IBO, all of which had screenshot-worthy battle scenes, I can't help but feel let down by the final fights. They should've allocated a bit more budget there and maybe slow some of the fight scenes down a little or cut back on the explosion effects. To be fair, this is also the same gripe I had with Tokyo Ghoul Root A's closing act though I'd argue that Root A was an even worse offender there.

In a vacuum, yes perhaps Fate/Apoc looks decent, cool even. But stacked against other works, even non-Fate anime, it falls flat on key parts.

But hey, if you liked it then it's all cool. I'm certainly not going to rag on anyone who did.
