Gokigenyou, /tmg/.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as FGO, is in fact, Fate/Grand Order, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Fate plus Grand Order. Fate is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Grand Order system made useful by the Chaldea corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by the Finis Chaldea organization. Many players run a different kind of simulation of the Grand Order system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Grand Order which is widely used today is often called “FGO”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the FGO system, developed by the FGO Project.

There really is a Fate, and these people are controlling it, but it is just a part of the system they control. Fate is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the human's resources to the other simulations that you run. The kernel is an essential part of a simulation, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete simulation. Fate is normally used in combination with the FGO simulation: the whole simulation is basically Grand Order with Fate added, or Fate/Grand Order All the so-called "Fate" titles are really simulations of Fate/Grand Order.
