History VideoGame / FateExtra

** In CCC Normal Ending, [[spoiler:everything's back to normal that you finally returned to the Near Side from where you left off. But, you have no recollection of Sakura and the Far Side.]] While in the CCC Route Ending, [[spoiler:You permanently lose your servant and BB sacrifices herself. Sakura ends up gaining a human body and she was able to upload your all memories into the original version, where you (as the original) finally awakened from your cryogenic suspension with her by your side. Jinako, Rani, and Rin are also implied to all survive as well.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: In CCC, with the CCC Route Ending and the Servant Endings.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: In CCC, with the True CCC Ending and the Servant Endings.

* [[spoiler: MultipleEndings: In CCC, the normal ending has it AllJustADream and it's stated the events of the first FateExtra game occurs. Completing each servants Secret Garden allows one to gain access to a Servant ending. Beating the normal ending for CCC, completing Extra's story again, and then starting a NewGamePlus of CCC afterwards will give one access to the CCC Route and ending. There are also other requirements throughout the story that must be done to get the CCC Route ending]]

* [[spoiler: MultipleEndings: In CCC, the normal ending has it AllJustADream and it's stated the events of the first FateExtra game occurs. Completing each servants Secret Garden allows one to gain access to a servant ending. Beating the normal ending for CCC, completing Extra's story again, and then starting a NewGamePlus of CCC afterwards will give one access to the CCC route and ending.]]

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler: The original has Shiki Ryougi. CCC includes three more bosses of [[FateStayNight Rin Tohsaka]] and Archer, Kotomine and Lancer, and Twice H. Pierceman and Playable Caster. All three appearing thanks to the [[RealityWaper Moon Cell]].]]

* [[spoiler: MultipleEndings: In CCC, the main ending has it AllJustADream and it's stated the events of the first FateExtra game occurs. In NewGamePlus; it's possible to get individual endings with each Servant.]]

* [[spoiler: MultipleEndings: In CCC, the main ending has it AllJustBeADream and it's stated the events of the first FateExtra game occurs. In NewGamePlus; it's possible to get individual endings with each Servant.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: Some of the enemy Masters get rather sad exits that shows they were never that bad of people.

** [[spoiler:Rin or Rani go out either commending you or silent and sad respectively. Both helped you majorly throughout the game.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Twice H. Pieceman]] actually makes a early appearance during the 3rd week, which also comes with a ChekhovsGun related to Alice and a plot point later in the game.]]

* DoubleEntendre: Lil' Ronnie's Lancer-class Servant is a walking pile of these.

** A few other characters have... questionable-sounding lines. Assassin would like to say that he'd grown tired of strangling cormorants and wanted to ''feel'' what he was doing.

* {{Expy}}: Rani VIII is a homunculus created to fight in the Holy Grail War, [[spoiler: has a famous warrior who is a Berserker]] like [[FateStayNight Ilya]], and is a purple haired Alchemist of Atlas like [[MeltyBlood Sion]].

* FanservicePack: Sakura has one of the biggest bosoms in the {{Nasuverse}}, which is combined with [[UnkemptBeauty rather unkempt hair]]. This game took these two traits and amplified them, Sakura's already well-sized breasts became much more noticible, and her unkempt waist-length hair now goes [[RapunzelHair down to her knees]]. Sakura basically took Medusa's measurements for herself, except height, hence her FanNickname Sakurider. This also applies to the game's Rin whose curves are more pronounced compared to her original design. ''CCC'' introduces three seeming Sakura clones, one of them is [[UpToEleven an even bustier version of Sakura]], Passion Lip.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The sentences that pop up on the bottom left of the screen showing off the Arena just before you enter it tend to be quite relevant to whoever it is you're fighting in that week.

* FourIsDeath: The Information Matrix has four points on it; finding out enough about your opponent to fill them all gives you an advantage that comes in handy when you're fighting them. Also, [[spoiler:potential Masters had four days to realize they were being tested and prove their mettle; failing to question reality enough or survive the tests ended poorly for everyone who didn't qualify]].

* InstantWinCondition: [[spoiler: Twice H. Pieceman's Servant Saver]] has a condition where every two turns, a mirror lights up. If all seven mirrors are lit, you lose and he wins.
** Also, if a Master does not obtain the two Triggers in the Arena before the Elimination Battle at the end of the week, the other Master wins by default. [[NonStandardGameOver This can happen to you]], so don't slack off on DungeonCrawling.

** After you beat week two, [[spoiler:the game ''deliberately'' makes you think you've entered a [[NonStandardGameOver Bad End]] of some sort, straight down to subtitling it Dead End like one of the non-combat game overs you can get... and then your Servant and Rin ''barely'' save your life. (Rin didn't even mean to, hilariously enough. [[IWasJustPassingThrough At least, that's what she says.]])]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: The playable Saber loves attention, but she's far from the worst offender. Shinji is so conceited he can't comprehend the possibility of losing and assumes he's naturally superior to everyone in every way, [[spoiler: which is normal behavior for an eight-year-old ChildProdigy]]. Leo Harway's even worse, as he's downright ''[[AffablyEvil friendly]]'' and absolutely frank about how he and his family are going to rule the world, which he acknowledges will likely require [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans killing everyone who doesn't accept it]]. He casually mentions they may use this solution on ''[[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide everyone in Asia]]''.

* [[spoiler: MegaCorp: The Harway family owns 30% of the real world's land and 60% of its wealth. They even have their own army.]]

*** '''{{NPC}}s''': Sakura Matou, Taiga Fujimura, Kirei Kotomine, Issei Ryuudou, Yukika Saegusa, Kane Himuro, Kaede Makidera and Soichiro Kuzuki [[spoiler: (InNameOnly)]].

* NominalImportance: The prologue uniquely has YOU as one of the many nameless, identity-less faces wandering around the school. The guy realizes to his horror that, like the protagonists of ''RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead'', he has no memories at all of how he got there, what he's supposed to be doing, where he's going or even if he exists at all as a person.

* PantyShot: The playable Caster, due to [[MaleGaze the camera angles during battle.]] Playable Saber's outfit is designed so that it seems as though she's giving the viewers a constant panty shot, but she's actually wearing a [[LeotardOfPower leotard]].

* RainbowSpeak: [[color:blue:Blue]] is generally used for characters, like your Servant and the other Masters. [[color:red:Red]] is usually used for important terms and for enemy Servants. [[color:gold:Gold]] is only used once, in a book you can read if you visit the library during the 4th week.

* ShoutOut: In the English version, just before having to [[spoiler: choose whether to save Rani or Rin,]] look at the middle row of the code that pops up when the protagonist touches the film projector. You can see the numbers [[NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors 999]] and the words [[BlazBlue BlazBLUE]] and [[VideoGame/AgarestSenki AGAreST]], all of which were also translated by Aksys Games.
** There's also mention of a book about [[{{Literature/Twilight}} sparkly vampires]] if you look at one of the shelves in the library.

* StylisticSuck: Saber, at one point, excitedly relays one of her plays to the protagonist. Among other faults, it has [[KudzuPlot a tangled and unfocused plot]] [[ContrivedCoincidence which relies heavily on coincidence as a plot device]] [[ShockingSwerve and frequently implements twists more focused on shocking the audience than making sense]], [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a gigantic cast of characters]] [[TangledFamilyTree most of whom are somehow distantly related to one another]] [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex while also making love at the drop of a hat]] [[RevolvingDoorCasting who manage to be replaced almost as quickly as they appear]], and an ending which ([[TheChrisCarterEffect as the protagonist has long since come to expect]])[[WhatHappenedToTheMouse completely fails to resolve any of the innumerable plot threads that littered the play except for the main character's]], [[DeusExMachina before a god descends from the sky to magically grant everyone a happy ending]]. Even Saber will admit that last part is weak... [[CompletelyMissingThePoint because she doesn't like religion, and wishes it wasn't used in the resolution of the play]].

* FanservicePack: Sakura has one of the biggest bosoms in the {{Nasuverse}}, which is combined with [[UnkemptBeauty rather unkempt hair]]. ''CCC'' took these two traits and amplified them, Sakura's already well-sized breasts became huge tracts of land, and her unkempt waist-length hair now goes [[RapunzelHair down to her knees]]. Sakura basically took Medusa's measurements for herself, except height, hence her FanNickname Sakurider.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rin, Rani and the playable Caster in ''Extra'', BB from ''CCC''.

The game is an AlternateContinuity from ''FateStayNight'', taking place TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture[[hottip:*:(According to WordOfGod, it diverges from the ''FateStayNight'' timeline in 1980, but the standard Nasuverse ShrugOfGod disclaimer applies.)]]. This time, the Holy Grail War is being fought in {{Cyberspace}} between 128 Masters, under the administration of the SE.RA.PH (Serial Phantasm) system. Because there are so many Masters, the Holy Grail War is arranged like a [[TournamentArc single-elimination tournament]], with Elimination Battles occurring at the end of each in-game week.

An UpdatedRerelease[=/=]{{Sequel}} called ''[[http://www.siliconera.com/2011/09/05/fateextra-ccc-destined-for-psp-this-spring/ Fate/EXTRA CCC]]'' has been announced and is now slated for release in Japan on [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/27/see-the-saber-and-the-other-three-servants-in-fateextra-ccc/ 28 March 2013]]. The game will include [[AndYourRewardIsClothes new costumes for the main characters and the returning Servants]], a new selectable Servant (Gilgamesh) and a new story dubbed the "Far Side" to Fate/EXTRA's "Near Side"[[hottip:*:A MythologyGag to the routes of {{Tsukihime}}, which in turn referenced the light and dark sides of the moon]] in which a failed Holy Grail War has caused the SE.RA.PH system to collapse and the tournament world to descend into lawlessness, forcing the Masters to cooperate to escape.

* GenderFlip: As before, a couple of Servants are female incarnations of male historical figures.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Saber's PantyShot is fully visible on the American cover box.
** [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/303d0226.jpg It's not her panties]], it's actually a LeotardOfPower.

The game will include [[AndYourRewardIsClothes new costumes for the main characters and the returning Servants]], a new selectable Servant (Gilgamesh) and a new story dubbed the "Far Side" to Fate/EXTRA's "Near Side"[[hottip:*:A MythologyGag to the routes of {{Tsukihime}}, which in turn referenced the light and dark sides of the moon]] in which a failed Holy Grail War has caused the SE.RA.PH system to collapse and the tournament world to descend into lawlessness, forcing the Masters to cooperate to escape.

* StylisticSuck: Arguably, the whole setting. The cliche school with cliche characters and minimalistic hallways is a poorly-realized artificial reality, and you're trying to get out of it into something that actually matters.

** Saber's (just don't miss any of the conversations marked with yellow, your answers don't matter) and Archer's (same as Saber's, only you have ask about his true name in the 7th week) are easy to get. Caster's is hard, [[GuideDangIt since you will not get her Matrix Level maxed out if you say the wrong things, many of which are not intuitive]]. See GuideDangIt above for a link to a detailed guide.

* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: You stop Twice's [[ForeverWar plans]] and obtain the Holy Grail, but you are essentially erased in the process, with the girl you saved being the only one to escape the Holy Grail War. She's looking for your real body, but it won't have any memories at all, and the real world is still stagnant, although there's a little hope left.]] Welcome to the {{Nasuverse}}!

Fate/EXTRA will also be adapted into a Sound Drama series that will be released in Winter 2012.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rin, Rani and the playable Caster in ''Extra'', the Magus in Black from ''CCC''.

* PantyShot: The playable Caster, due to [[MaleGaze the camera angles during battle.]] Playable Saber's outfit is designed so that it seems as though she's giving the viewers a constant panty shot, but she's actually wearing a leotard.

* PantyShot: The playable Saber all the time, due to her dress design.
** The playable Caster as well, due to [[MaleGaze the camera angles during battle.]]

The game is an AlternateContinuity from ''FateStayNight'', taking place TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture[[hottip:*:(According to WordOfGod, it diverges from the ''FateStayNight'' timeline in 1980, but the standard Nasuverse ShrugOfGod disclaimer applies.)]].

Because there are so many Masters, the Holy Grail War is arranged like a [[TournamentArc single-elimination tournament]], with Elimination Battles occuring at the end of each in-game week.

[[NoNameGiven You]] are one of the competing magi (either [[PurelyAestheticGender male or female]]), and can select a Servant of the [[FighterMageThief Saber, Archer or Caster]] class at the beginning of the competition. However, there's a snag: you have [[IdentityAmnesia no memories]] and (thus) no motivation to fight, which could prove deadly in a competition filled with people who will do anything to achieve their desires. The only way to escape with your life (and perhaps recover your lost memories) is to survive and win the Holy Grail War.

An UpdatedRerelease / {{Sequel}} called ''[[http://www.siliconera.com/2011/09/05/fateextra-ccc-destined-for-psp-this-spring/ Fate/EXTRA CCC]]'' has been announced and is now slated for release in Japan on [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/24/fateextra-ccc-will-keep-the-psp-going-strong-at-least-until-2013/ 23 February 2013]].

* AntiGrinding: The amount of XP you gain from beating enemies drops the higher your level is, and XP requirements for the next level increase greatly every level.
** Levels follow a set formula. Experience needed is always (Current level^2) x 10.
* BeehiveBarrier: Whenever someone is hit while using ''Guard''.

* HopelessBossFight: Sometimes, you'll be bailed out by the SE.RA.PH, but other fights like the Literature/{{Jabberwock|y}}, if you don't have the Vorpal Blade, normally cannot be beaten. (Theoretically, you can win if you spam skills and are greatly over-leveled, but in practice, you'll need to cheat and have infinite HP and MP, since even grinding to level 99 won't be enough. However, [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything there's a unique sequence that plays if you somehow manage to win.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnDD1I-u3ns&feature=related Here's a video of it with Saber]], for those of us unwilling to cheat just to see it.)

* StandardStatusEffect: Poison[=/=]Curse (standard damage inflicted per turn), Paralysis[=/=]Stun (prevents being able to act on random moves on a turn, Stun only lasts for one turn) and Seal (prevents the afflicted from using the move that is sealed). Typically inflicted by ''Skills'', though some of the later [[{{Mooks}} enemy programs]] and Servants have a small chance of inflicting them using normal moves.

** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since it's a knockout tournament, so most of them are beaten by other Masters first.
** Even more justified, considering the losers die!
