Zero Berserker and Zero Lancer more than make up for it, or at least I hope they will.

They were pretty gar in the novels so, yeah ^_^

Although GARcher is my favorite Fate character of all time the GAR award deserves to go to no one else but Zero Rider for both the win and the lulz.

Out of all fsn vcharacters to return in F/zero are Saber(and no story does not focus on her), Kotomine Kirei(the "main" villain of FSN anime series), Kiritsugu Emiya(the one who took in and adopted Shiro) and Gilgamesh(as Archer).

Apart from them every other Servant, Master or side character is entirely new and adult Pretty much the only important children to appear are Sakura and Rin as cameos..

In a sense its a prequel and a "seinen version of fsn".


As for no garcher. well, Fate/zero Berserker and Faze/Zero Lancer and Fate/Zero Rider make up for it plentiful(I fully expect Rider to be voiced by Norio Wakamoto)

What LostHanyou and Fai said. Just because there's no "GARcher" doesn't mean Fate/Zero isn't awesome. The reading is kind of long and somewhat comprehensive but it has a really great story. When I was thinking about it on the bus today, I realize (which I should have realized a while ago) that Fate/Zero actually has a better plotline (and a set of characters) than FSN does.

Every character (including the minor characters) in Fate/Zero will actually contribute something to the story [please correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't read the whole thing but I just had that impression]. Not saying that it's not the same for FSN but I feel like Fate/Zero does better at...that.

Oh and not to mention that they have great, distinctive/unique characters here. My personal favorite characters in Fate/Zero are Saber (ofc lol), Archer (you know who..), AND especially Rider (hes amazing). I may be missing one or two characters into that personal favorite character list but the main point is...Fate/Zero will NOT disappoint you. In fact, I expect the Fate/Zero anime adaptation to be mind-blowing and NOTHING ELSE LESS (thats how high my expectations are of this adaptation).

Hmmmm....but someone mentioned that they'll be able to get all parts of the whole story (even include extra parts) into the anime so I'm really hoping that despite the fact that they'll be OVAs...they'll be in great quality in terms of animation and execution of the plot?

Not very familiar with this, but I saw Akio Ohtsuka's name in the cast list, which is reason enough for me to watch it.

SOLID SNAKE FTMFW. I just hope the character he voices (Rider) is half as badass as Old Snake.

I may even go so far as to say Fate/Zero's Rider is much more than Old Snake. Have a pic:

I won't spoil how he fares in the War nor his Identity. But he's pretty awesome.

Which is frankly the entire point because all servants are bassically "famous people" of history, thus their characters are based on certain historical figures and their clothes reflect the time form which they are. the identities are very important aspect of servants, as they mostly have a big connection to their fighting style, powers and choice of weapons. Not every archer uses a bow, not every saber fights with sabers, not every assassin asassinates, not every berserker uses brute force and so on. The identities and their history(real life history) play a huge role in their capabilities.


although this art describes him better:

Although I am disappointed with the va choice for Rider. Someone like Norio Wakamoto would most likely fit better IMO, i am not sure this guy can pull off the ham, badassery and epicness needed.

Because Archer in Fate/Zero is actually Gilgamesh too lol. Even if you didn't read Fate/Zero, I think you could have figure that out eventually if you watched Fate Stay Night ^^;

for further reference Archer and every title like that is a "Class" and not a character name.

Basically any servant summoned is called by his class. By The Rules, there are seven classes a servant can be normally summoned into and thats: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, Assassin, and Caster.

Magi who summon them can specifically target certain classes, for example Rin tried to summon Saber class servant but got Archer Class servant instead and Ilya's seal structure allows her to control Berserkers better than other classes(because she has well, nearly unlimited seals).



AS for the fate/zero:
the only servants that return are FSN-Saber and Gilgamesh(as archer).

It can be an entirely different character from the ones in the cast of FSN and still be called , for example, Caster or Lancer.
