History YMMV / FateEXTRA

* GameBreaker: Gilgamesh himself. It's mostly intentional, and already at testing his mode was known as "Hax mode". Not only his stats are higher than average already at the beginning, he has passive skills that give you additional income and drop rate from combats. his Gate of Babylon skill really hurts, and his noble phantasm, EA, instantly ends the battle, no matter who is against you.

** For ''Fate/Extra CCC'', Passionlip received flak based entirely on her physical design. It's mostly on the fact that in the original Extra, the game had fairly good and interesting character designs. Passionlip to many represents a blatant attempt at appeasing the people who felt that ''Extra'' wasn't ecchi enough compared to ''Fate/stay night''. (Now, this ends up being a large part of the ''point'', but first impressions still count for a lot.) Many agreed that her [[AdaptationalModesty design]] in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is ''much'' better.

* TakeThatScrappy: In the CCC continuity, instead of Vlad, Lil' Ronnie summons Elizabeth, who promptly realizes [[EveryoneHasStandards how utterly batshit crazy]] her Master is, which prompts her to kill Ronnie.

* {{Fanon}}: Hakuno's first servant in CCC's version of the near side story if you chose Gilgamesh is thought to be Enkidu, or at least, the Berserker variant of him. This was derived from {{Literature/FateStrangeFake}} with the narrations mentioning that Enkidu can qualify for Berserker with his original mud clay doll form and some fanworks, mostly of the Gilgamesh/Female Hakuno kind went with this as a prediction to Hakuno's first servant before CCC started in Gilgamesh's story, who is said to be of the Berserker Class. This is also fueled from the fact that Gilgamesh's second SG and the dreams Hakuno gets about Gilgamesh's past is from Enkidu's point of view. Following this, a reason why Hakuno would be able to summon Enkidu in the first place in the Gilgamesh route could be attributed to the fact that [[YouRemindMeOfX Hakuno's struggles parallels Enkidu's]] and Enkidu responded to Hakuno as a result.

** Hans Christian Andersen is one of the most memorable characters in CCC because he's a middle-aged man with voice to match, who gets materialized as a young boy. The man then proceeds to shit talk ''everyone'', even '''Gilgamesh''', [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu in his middle-aged baritone voice]] and it's never not hilarious.

** For Male Hakuno it's Hakuno/Caster. Male Hakuno/Gilgamesh also has a following in Japan, as does Male Hakuno/Saber.

** Given the gameplay, this can be justified - considering the game has many ways of royally screwing your playthrough up. Having the King of Heroes as a servant with such capabilities are more often than not a godsend. To quote a Niconico Douga commenter on the battle with the TrueFinalBoss:

** Gawain, for [[http://i.imgur.com/GM5Ls.png being a real dick to all three playable Servants]], historical accuracy be damned.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why does Alice's Caster's [[spoiler:Reality Marble cause a LossOfIdentity? Because Caster, whose form changes depending on who summons her, has no identity of her own]]!

** [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Despite the amount of ships she has]], the most popular ship for Female Hakuno is Gilgamesh/Hakuno (which was shipped even ''before'' Gilgamesh was added).

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Everyone and their mum loves Karna.

** A common question raised by fans is who would win between Gilgamesh and Karna. The game ''almost'' answers this because [[spoiler: Karna is suffering from ''two'' [[DramaPreservingHandicap Drama Preserving Handicaps]] due to not having his armor and having the worst Master in the franchise, and Gilgamesh has yet to reveal Ea when they fight.]]

(Now, this ends up being a large part of the ''point'', but first impressions still count for a lot.)

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: [[spoiler: That one of the Berserker class servants is [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Arc]] and that the bonus boss is [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Shiki]].]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: By none other than Creator/ShinjiHosoe.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler: Twice Pierceman]] as a final boss, who had no build up besides being the NarratorAllAlong and having a giant InfoDump to justify his existence in the scene he's introduced, just before you fight him.

** [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Despite the amount of ships she has]], the most popular ship for FEM!Hakuno is Gilgamesh/Hakuno (which was shipped even ''before'' Gilgamesh was added).
** For MALE!Hakuno it's Hakuno/Caster. Male Hakuno/Gilgamesh also has a following in Japan, as does Male Hakuno/Saber.

** After the game was launched, shippers started shipping [[FanPreferredCouple FEM!Hakuno/Gilgamesh]] or even [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight the small but existent]] FEM!Hakuno/[[LightNovel/{{FateApocrypha}} Karna]]. Some time later, ''CCC'' came and ''both'' [[IKnewIt Gilgamesh and Karna were added, as a playable Servant and an enemy Servant respectively]].

* GeniusBonus / BilingualBonus: Red Saber calls her master "Sousha," in game this is translated as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praetor Praetor]], however a literal translation would be [[http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html Player]], as in one who plays music in theatre. [[spoiler: Musical theatre being something of an obsession of hers.]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: By none other than Creator/ShinjiHosoe.

** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Archer immediately recommends retreating.]]

** '''PADORU PADORU'''[[note]]In "Teach me, Blossom-sensei!", Saber enters the Nurse's Office wearing a Santa Outfit and [[StylisticSuck singing Jingle Bells in an over-the-top manner]].[[/note]]

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: A common criticism of the original game was that it was a watered down {{VideoGame/Persona 3}} with VisualNovel/FateStayNight characters and concepts. The fact that two ex-ATLUS employees worked on the game didn't help either. It wasn't until ''CCC'' that the series really carved out its own identity.

* BrokenBase: The excessive fanservice in CCC (see FetishRetardant). Split between the people who love it (as it was definitely geared towards them) and the people who hate it (for looking ridiculous and offputting), and the people who understand how it's meant to tie into the wider themes of the story and just roll with it for what it is.
