I am Arthur, king of the Britains. Will you join me and my master on a quest for the Holy Grail?

But really, making the change from "Arthur" to "Joan" would keep the same result in any of the routes. The respective "Saber" could be essentially the same, even bar the reasons she thought herself as unattractive. What would need to be changed for inconvenience would be the identity of her weapon not being as important, and a bunch of the "kings who ruined their kingdoms" repertoire between Gilgamesh and her would have to be rewritten. Everything else can stay as it is and have justifiable reasons for Joan.

Making King Arthur really a woman is just a pointless curveball in the characterization.

Sam I thought I told you to stop asking stupid questions.

>> No.2112661

Excalibur is anti-fort/castle. Anti-fort is a supreme attack which relies on overwhelming force in its application. Think of it literally: enough force applied to entirely bring down a fortress. An attack which pierces through any defense.

Of course Gilgamesh has an anti-world Noble Phantasm, which is just dandy.

Watched the anime first so yeah, I was betting on Joan of Arc. Then I was like "lol japan"

I would have, except the only reason why I even started watching the anime back when I was still a normal non-eroge otaku was because the Wikipedia entry looked interesting, so I already read all the spoilers.

>> No.2112975

Another thing that bugged me, Arthur was a female, so that would make her Queen of England and not king. I don't see why she would have to hide her gender, unless the type-moon guys weren't aware that it wasn't out of the question to have a female ruler in Europe at the time.

Type-Moon aren't idiots. Their novels comprise the best in literature that I have ever read. What have you read lately? In short, Type-Moon is one of the greatest scenario writers, despite anonymous assertion to the contrary. How sad is it we've fallen to infighting about one of the best visual novels ever made?

Actually, in some interpretations of the legend, Medusa was the most beautiful priestess of Athena, caught the eye of Poseidon, got fucked, then CURSED by Athena.
So, you can't really blame them for that.
Plus, Pegasus came out when her neck was 'cut'.
