Was summoning Mordred something locked in/was gonna happen no matter what or could we have somehow influenced things to summon another servant?
The entire premise of the quest was summoning Mordred from the start.
If we have chosen Bazzet on the very first vote instead of Medea, how different things would have been/what would have been some of the plot points that would happen?
You'd be dealing with Kotomine within three chapters, things devolve from there. He would try and confirm the kill.
How would Caren have played out? And how many strokes would it have given Kirei?
Caren would have... actually involved you heading to the Clocktower super early on. As she was doing an investigation there.
What were you expecting to do with Rin and Saber?
Eventually form a very tenuous alliance.
Are we going to get to see any more greek servants? (could even be in a dream sequence) Mo was simultaneously one of the most exciting reveals, but also a bit disappointing for me considering I'd be missing my favorite berserker
Yeah, there's a Grecian in the clocktower.
Has there been any Vote that totally took you by surprise the direction it went? Like totally didn't saw it coming that we went with that? Aside from the "avoid Rin" of course.
Kissing Ayako surprised me to distract Ruby.
This has probably been mentioned in the thread, but Annatar is the reason Chaldea is here, right? Like he's basically causing a singularity rn
Yes.
Do we have to keep Ritsuka and her shield alive in order to not, like, doom humanity?
Would not suggest letting her die!
question with all the subplots and plots we haven't seen yet due to choices...what idea STARTED this entire.quest concept
"What if Shirou summoned Berserker Mordred."
what were your expectations with introducing Circe?
Less story focus honestly, more dream nonsense. The readers really liked her surprisingly.
don't underestimate witch-lovers in the medea-route
Buddy, the Medea route was added as I was editing the first chapter to post on SV. Literally fifteen or so minutes before I posted.
Hey Erien, why did you consider Fujimaru summoning Jaguarman as metagaming?
Because the readers were having Shirou suggest she do it and he has no concept for Jaguarman existing. And if they were suggesting she do it the voters have no control over people that aren't Shirou.
Does Shirou even know about the concept of Noble Phantasms?
Shirou doesn't know what those are!
so Shirou needs to fight Gilgamesh and not die to the sword swarm
Gilgamesh is not, and will remain not part of, this grail war.
We're waiting for the final showdown against Eldritch!Cu.
Assassin Lamont Cranston, aka 'The Shadow'.
Nah Clocktower's Assassin is the most dangerous figure in the holy grail war act ually
No I will not say who it is
No I'm not kidding
So Circe was added because Medea was added?
Yeah. Thought it'd fit.
Seaweed was always meant to job.
His servant was Fritz Haber for those curious. Because I thought it'd be suitably horrible.
oh, huh, so he was able to get a servant outside of the holy grail war?
Shinji was 'gifted' a servant. How, well, you'll need to find out.
So, is Sauron gonna come to Fuyuki or is Fuyuki coming to Sauron?
The former, chasing dear Ophelia.
Do we know who the Clock Tower's Berserker is?
You've seen em, it's who Luvia summoned. You don't know who or what they are though.
Wait. Since Rin is now gone, does that mean Second Owner rights now transfer to Sakura?
Sure, but Rin's workshop doesn't exist.
The party is going to have confront Lancer again, correct? That's not something readers can expect Ruler to have dealt with?
Yep, they will Old George is overwhelmed.
Will Chaldea be able to summon anymore servants now that they've made contact or are we sticking to Mash + shadow servants?
I mainly try to just use shadow servants. It's how they work for the most part.
How likely do you think it is that Ayako survives the War?
... Eh.
Are you considering any of the potential love interests bisexual? I know you had that Rider/Ayako comm with a "very non-canon. probably."
Mata Hari most definitely
Rider sure
