So, in order to save her country from ruin, Saber wanted the Holy Grail to redo the selection of the king to someone more suitable.

...Why not just wish for the country to be not-in-ruins, if the grail is powerful enough to affect space-time like that?

One must be careful what to wish for.
Saber's wish is specific, what you phrased is vague and not that reassuring, since it can be twisted..

>> No.1600199

>>1600184
It's more of a bad wish because her country would still have the same failure of a king.

Didn't say it was a GOOD one.

it doesn't really have anything to do with ops ideal wish being vague though. Saber thinks she failed her duty as a king, so the only right wish would be to have a better king chosen. She could make a specific wish that encompasses her saving her country from doom and Saber still being the king, but it would still be a wish that Saber does not want.

Saber's wish has a really vague outcome, too.

Unless she specifies what she wants this replacement king to be like, it could end up being someone that would fail in a lot of ways from a certain perspective.

If she wishes to protect her country, then using the wish to stop one specific problem (such as internal strife or outside invasions) would be best, unless what she really wants is just to be freed from her responsibility, which didn't seem to be the case.

Still, you'd think that seeing that England was still intact in the future would let her know just how insignificant things back then were in the grand scheme of things. She succeeded enough.

Are you sure the modern day Britain is not a result of her wish being granted?

Brittain is still powerful. Hell, in the 16th and 17th centuries they were the most powerful empire in the world. They were even fucking up China and India.

Then again....they got beat by a ragtag group of Christians. FUCK YEAR AMERICA

Because its not right that she use the power of the grail for her own ends, and it is the duty of the king to lead the country and protect it, not the grail's. Her failure as a king is on a personal level too, using the grail to fix things would not have made her a more suitable king.

She didn't, she achieved a miracle for her doomed country and bought it some peace that it wouldn't have had. The point of Fate route for Saber is that she didn't fail. She just thinks she did.

There's a limit to how much the Grail can actually do. It uses up the mana reaped from defeated Servants, so it can't exceed that.

For instance, someone can't just say "I want to conquer the planet", because it doesn't have enough power for something like that.

>> No.1603660

You obviously have no idea what the Grail is.

The Grail is a gateway. The thing that the Grail leads to, on the other hand, is capable of granting any wish.
