History Trivia / FatePrototype

** Also, rather than a VisualNovel, it was originally meant to be a LightNovel series like ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''.

* NamesTheSame: Curiously, Sancraid Phahn's first name in katakana is highly similar to a character from a different franchise altogether: [[Characters/FinalFantasyXIVScionsOfTheSeventhDawn Thancred Waters]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', with サンクレイド vs. サンクレッド. Because of the flexibility of how サ is used in kana interpretation, it's possible, like the FFXIV character, to spell the priest's name as "Thancreid" or "Thancraid" as a result, though the final spelling probably comes down to what Nasu meant to invoke with the name ([[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign if anything]]).

* FanNickname: On some forums, you'll hear it referred to as any variation of "[[RomanceGame Otome]] ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''" due to the CastFullOfPrettyBoys and the relationships between some of the characters (particularly between Ayaka and the servants and Saber with Manaka).
