  • The Last Padawan: Saber Lily
    The new event in Fate/Grand Order is a Star Wars parody.
    Yes.
    For Real.
  • No Really.
    A Star Wars parody.
  • The Mirage of Camelot
    The Garden of Avalon story is getting an OST and drama CD. The most interesting part is that Sir Bedivere, Sir Kay, and Merlin seem to either bet getting new voice actors or in the case of Sir Kay getting a voice actor for the first time.
  • A Kind of Magic
    Some nice art of the magical side of Fate/Grand Oder.
  • The Fated Battle
    Arjuna and Karna meet again in fan art.
  • FAKE: SECOND
    Fate/Strange Fake volume two is on its way.
  • Significantly More Dignified Than Kamikaze Magical Girl Jeanne
    Then again it is not hard for to be far more dignified than Kamikaze Magical Girl Jeanne. Mostly Jeanne d’Arc as a high school girl.
  • Crossover Crazy
    Ever since they announced Fate/Grand Order is doing a crossover with an unnamed property people have been speculating which one it was.

    • The Impossible Dreams: I made three dream lists of titles that would be great for them to choose from. This was more a fun list than anything I think would actually happen.
    • Don’t Believe Everything You Read: A supposed list of characters that will be released for the crossover event. It could be real but you should approach it with any of the leaks you hear about on the Internet.

Secret Holy Grail Wars

Fate/Grand Order had a big New Year’s event online event to celebrate the first few months of the game’s release as well as lay out some future developments. But the biggest piece of news was also probably the one that was equally vague. Fate/Grand Order was going to do a collaboration event in February. They did not announce what property they were doing the corssover with but speculation is running rampant. I see a lot of people predicting it will be a crossover with Kantai Collection especially after the 2014 April Fools video with Nero and Tamamo no Mae. But truth be told I know more about Love Live! than I know about KanColle and I know next to nothing about Love Live!

Therefore I thought it would be fun to imagine what Servants would be added to Fate/Grand Order if they crossover with other properties I do know really well. Theoretically the crossovers could be nothing more than some throw away Craft Essence power-ups that don’t do much more than add a little cross promotional art to the game. New servants on the other hand would really shake things up and be memorable. Plus it is more fun to write about that the more mundane reality that is far more likely to happen.
