I say its confusing because they have subtley changed the more stuff comes out for it. FGO runs on a whole different level from even the rest. For instance Medusa was originally only summanable because the grail was currupted and the definition of "hero" was obfuscated and so the throne summoned her by fudging some of her details and forcing her to take on traits of Perseus.

Now the lore in FGO with the Saint Graph is that any state of mind or fictionalization of a character can be demmed seperate entities. Vlad and Vlad. Gorgon and Medusa. Jeanne and Jalter. Charlemagne and Karl (btw I didnt know that spoiler as I was waiting to play it and find out myself but I asked for it when I mentioned him, still the same applies to this). I will leave out event "versions" as they are alternates of the specific version we already know. Mordred Rider is still Mordred Saber but she is in the "Summer Spirit". Same with Tamamo and Tamamo Lancer etc.

Lets see who else? Ishtar and her multiple Tohsaka iterations. Or Siegfried and Sigurd for instance. Actually I'm not sure about that example. Siegfried is the German version and Sigurd is the Norse version of the same heroic tale fromt he Nibelung? I dont remember. The it gets wierd because of Sieg taking on his form...

When I say its confusing I mean stuff like that. There are so MANY exceptions or special cases that the rules are effectively meaningless.
