[x] A sword belonging to the most heroine in the Hundred Years' War (Jeanne d'Arc, Saber).

Been a fan of your works for a while and glad i was able to find this gem.
 
Really, when it comes down to it I suspect we'll end up picking Medusa, Saber Lily, Altera, Martha or Jackie based on the way voting is going.

Either of the Sabers would provide us with a powerful close quarters combatant allowing Shirou to operate at mid range with Caster as support. Medusa gives an enormous amount of additional battlefield control with her speed, and comes with a few really powerful NPs. Martha as stated gives access to Dragons Teeth (and a Dragon), while Jackie would be horrendously effective at dealing with Masters while we engage the Servants (though this is a fair bit more bloodthirsty than I think Shirou will be...)
 
I found that kind of sad
They gave him high HP in exchange for low Attack, didn't give him any tanking skills, and gave him a skill that temporarily gives him a huge damage buff against dragons.

But they also made nearly every dragon in the game be classified as a Rider, resulting in the class triangle of Assassin > Rider > Caster > Assassin causing Assassins to be better than him at killing dragons.

So the only time he's actually useful in Grand Order is when there's a Lancer or Berserker class dragon.
 

Actually, we are probably the only character who isn't called Illya that EMIYA wouldn't harm, unless we go full "my sibling/friend/lover died so I shall drown the world in darkness to revive them!" edgelord.

Why?

Because we did what he wishes he had done.
We turned away from our ideals and chose to focus on finding happiness for our family, the people we love and ourselves. A part of him, deep down, might be disappointed that we didn't have the guts to keep going forward, but the overwhelming majority would be relieved that there are iterations of Shirou who aren't doomed. That'd mean killing Shirous isn't the only way to save them from the suffering he went through. They can clearly be persuaded to turn away.

That being said, as amazing as the interaction between us and him would be, I still vote for Altera. I've seen Jack and Mordred, and even Robin Hood, and certainly Saberface, but not Altera. I want to break new ground.

I'm sad there isn't an Assassin EMIYA option. Kirei, Saber, and Shirou's (both of them) reaction would be amazing.

Summoning him doesn't really expand the team's capabilities much though. We already do basically the same thing.

There is strength of its own in two similarly overspecialized individuals working as one to cover each other's blind spots. Especially with infinite magical energy to power them. Especially when their specialization has extreme variety in its own right.

...Still prefer Altera.

You know I have the feeling that if we do summon jack the ripper she will call caster mother and then caster will try to get jack to call shirou papa and this quest will turn into "Jack's Happy Family Fun Time" and all shall scream.

[x] Kiritsugu always said that a precision missile strike can solve many problems, you wonder why he told you that on Mother's Day… it's time to nuke the worm nest.
[X] Yourself (EMIYA, Archer)

We NEED more EMIYA! You can never have enough! :V
 
[X] Bide your time and work with Caster to make an exorcism Mystic Code, use it to banish Zouken. Who cares about Shinji? You can go punch him whenever you want.
[X] A nameless Dagger (Medusa, Rider)

With the removal of Sakuras hearth and therefore the fragments of the Grail Zoukens plan is completely bombed to shit and even if hes an old Magus he can't stand against everyone else in the war without something like the Shadow backing him up, yes he made the command spell system but even that wont help him when he gets ganged up on by effectively three servants who know whats going on with him. And that's without taking any allies we might make into consideration.
There is no need to go this bombastic against him and destroying him with a specially crafted mystic code from the age of the gods is far more reliable than an airstrike where some of his worms might survive in a sewer or something like that, or do you think he has every worm in that basement of his?

As for the Servant, Medusa might be boring but she is one of the best fits for our fighting style and since she will be properly supplied with mana she will be a very effective fighter, with proper reinforcement we can basically function as a Saber expy complete with swordbeams and Medusa is no slouch in close combat either. And when Bellerophon gets taken out she basically a becomes reusable ICBM strike that's nearly unassailable.

Not sure which Servant to try for.
 
I don't really think Assassins are useful in this case since we probably won't be assassinating anyone beyond Zouken and Kirei. But even against them makes getting assassin pointless. It seems we are heading towards the bombing with explosives with Zouken and I doubt knives will solve the worm infestation. Assassinating Kirei means getting past Gil. And that worked out great for the previous assassin...

I doubt we will get the King of Assassins so whelp...

Hmm. I'm convinced. Instead of being all bombastic and kicking off the war proper early, we'll take out the Matou quietly and cleanly and leave what actually happened to them as a mystery.
 
So... Like every single story/quest with Jack in it, ever?
Jack is so mainstream nowadays. The new hotness in terms of daughterus is Fran after she called James Moriarty 'Papa' in FGO.

EDIT:
Sakura's connection to the Grail had nothing to do with Zouken's heartworm, using Rule Breaker alone is enough to fix that. What destroying the heartworm did was put Zouken on a self-destruct timer as it was the core of the worm network and his soul.

If you don't mind a few casualties as he futilely consumes a few people to halt his accelerated degradation, MiyuShirou no longer has to lift a finger at this point for Zouken to die.

CAN we though, with Zouken keeping an eye and connection to Sakura? Do we truly have the time?
 
[X] Follow the ancient Chinese method of slaying the entire family, you can nuke them too, but you'll personally get rid of Shinji.

Sakura was the centerpoint of his plan and we completely removed that from play, he might go ahead and summon a servant but i doubt that it would make a big difference since Shirou+Medea+infinite mana is an already broken combination not even taking into account whatever servant we end up summoning.

Also if we start going rampart with bombings and stuff we might catch the attention of the Magus association or the Church and while we are powerful i don't want to risk getting onto their shitlists.

And an additional thought about the Servant. Medusa is the perfect big sister, even if she was the little sister, and shes generally a very pleasant person to be around if you don't make her angry.

meh, I liked Arturia

Ok, rereading it it looks like Zouken can't use Sakura as we took care of that too.

So, we need to aim for at least some decent level of comparability and not just because of their character.

Arturia, for example, is totally not gonna be cool with our methods. Mordred as well, on top of being too unruly.

Jackie is, no. That's not a good idea.

Open to our methods, good combination with Caster, multi-role potential.
