All of them were added during Herz airing together. More people will know them from that than from FHA.

What can they add that would be solely Prillya for you?
Even sticks are technically FHA and heroic spirit powers on human beings is already concept within FGO anyway(just in a whole lot more ridiculous ways and with less justification).

They can add all the different Illya and Miyu servant forms. They can add Kuro. They can add Angelica Gil. They can even add Tanaka at some point after more is revealed about her.
This game is a peak of fanservice TM has never reached before and it's obvious that lore consistency is not the focus here. Might as well go the extra mile and milk every thing that has the Fate name on it, and when Fate was done being milked dry let's add Tsuki, Knk and Mahoyo cards as well.

Also Prisma cosmos is a Prillya card more or less, it's even in the name lol.

I guess, even though the art itself has absolutely nothing to do with Prillya itself whatsoever.

A lot of things in this game can't be explained lore wise simply because this is a game.
CEs? Because game.

Nerfed servants (most notably Gil)? Because game.

In the story (or someones interlude). It's asked why someone can only use one NP when their legend should have more, and Roman clarifies the system restricts servants in some ways, IIRC.

Gameplay features which aren't consistent with lore.
Though, how do you know he can't use Enkidu and/or his whole treasury, and simply chooses not to? Those aren't his Noble Phantasms separately, they are Noble Phantasms stored under his Noble Phantasm, the GoB.

I kinda disagree. I realize that Ludonarrative dissonance exists in most video games out there, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow, especially in a work in the Nasuverse.
Either way, i only wish for Prillya to be included, servants or not isn't really what i care about.

Seems like an awfully specific thing to restrict. Was there any reason given for this?

I'll go ahead and say because it wasn't given as a choice. Giving an option for every weapon in GoB is absurd, i realize that, but Enkidu is more than distinct enough to be lumped in with the rest of GoB.
Also, isn't GoB a Noble Phantasm? Wouldn't that give Gil two NPs?

To compensate for increased number of servants, servants are restricted in some forms, despite the system doing most of the heavy lifting.

That doesn't make sense. Why can't Emiya use Rho Aias then? It's a Noble Phantasm that isn't summoned with the Heroic Spirit.

CuLAncer and MEdusa being 3*
Iskandar being stronger than Medusa
Hercules not having a godhand

Because it's an example of an NP not affected by that rule, which is, again, awfully specific and screams "game balance", but still not an option to use.

Let's say i brought Gil to a fight in which he would deem acceptable to use Enkidu, and that have a pretty good chance of happening when he's surrounded by countless Heroic Spirits from all over history, would the option to use it appear in-game?
There's your answer. Because game.

We don't know every HS to make such a claim. If Gil used it against Iskandar, you bet he'll use it against others. These are Heroic Spirits from legend we're talking about. There WILL be at least one more servant Gil will feel acceptable to use Enkidu on.

Inside the battle screen i control the narrative. The game will stay vague about who i took into battle and what i did in it because that part only i can control. If a scenario presented itself where Gil would use Enkidu, i should be able to use it. This is an established part of his personality that the game won't abide by for balance reasons.

I disagree.

Game mechanic =/= an actually scripted battle.

There is no scripted battles in F/GO because it is replaced by a fighting system. If you make Gil use Ea in a battle, that doesn't actually mean he'd use it in the scripted version of the fight.

It's a rather simple thing. We don't know how the fight goes down (because it wasn't scripted and was replaced with gameplay instead), we just know that the fight went down. We don't know HOW it went down.

If a scenario presented itself where Gil would use Enkidu, i should be able to use it.


To begin with, this would require implementation of a better fighting system than a card system which is more or less entirely impossible to implement in a simplistic mobage like this one. If this was an actual console game with a better fight system where you could actually perform combos or special attacks, this could have been possible.

Second of all, this would imply the fight system is supposed to match the story/canon flow. It really isn't. You can do anything in a fight system and win in various ways, but like I said, that's not how the fight would go down if it was actually scripted. Or actually to be more blunt, that would require the game producers to go out of their way to create different versions of Noble Phantasm usage and attacks and whatever, which they won't do for obvious reasons (a; they are lazy, b; its a simplistic mobage with no need of more of an advanced fighting system)

TL;DR; fighting system/game mechanics aren't a part of the GO storyline, they're just gameplay.

Having to abide by the rules doesn't mean they have to be scripted. The status screens in the Extra were 100% consistent with the gameplay and the developers were smart enough to accomplish such a feet, regardless of how simplistic the battle system ended up being.

Regardless, I understand all the technical difficulties and balancing issues that can stem from making a legit Fate battle system and have absolutely no problems with what they're doing. My problem is the double standards of having to be authentic with servants (when most of them are irrelevant to the plot anyway) and then throw all of this out the window when the player takes control.
I'm not really asking for the game to have stricter rules or abide by the franchise's or even its own rules, I'm asking for it to be more consistent because it's already not carrying those rules in-game.

Have Lancelot use a machine gun in-game. Have Gil not use Enkidou in-game. Have inferior servants have higher potential by giving them more stars.
But also, let me have Kuro as a servant without interludes or any story content. Just a character on the "game" side of GO.

I hope my point was made clear.
