Line #6 YMMV/FateExtra


1	* AccidentalInnuendo: If you give Caster an alteration that just raises her stats a little instead of giving her a new skill, she says this:
2	--> "It's so cute the way you pour your love into me just a little bit at a time, Master!"
3	* AluminumChristmasTrees: Kiara is part of a Buddhist sex cult. While the idea of a Buddhist sex cult may seem pretty outlandish to most people, there is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu one that actually existed at one point]] (and possibly still exists today) - to say nothing of some uncommon [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantric_sex tantric practices]]...
4	* AwesomeEgo: Saber. She's got a bigger ego than Shinji, but rather than annoying, it just makes her [[ShapedLikeItself awesome]].
5	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
6	** The original ''Fate/EXTRA'' game soundtrack is extremely underrated due to not having an official release, yet many of the tracks can't just be ignored. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ff-o1rkhZQ&pp=ygU9QmF0dGxlIC0gRm91cnRoIENoaW1lcmljIEx1bmFyIFNlYSAoUG9zdC1Sb3V0ZSBBcmVuYSBCYXR0bGVzKQ%3D%3D Battle - Fourth Chimeric Lunar Sea]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMbOmGiPD84&pp=ygUdU2Nob29sIElJIChQb3N0LVJvdXRlIFNjaG9vbCk%3D School II]] if one is in the loof for something more calming, are some great highlights!
7	** All the Duel themes are spectacular! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur3wQnYf14o&pp=ygUwRHVlbCAtIFVuYXV0aG9yaXplZCBCYXR0bGUgKFN1cnZpdmUgZm9yIDMgVHVybnMp Unauthorized Battle]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8Ng8JIGaiA&list=PLdR7m7PFLzQ4M42FiebXfb6id4R_wXtHl&index=24 Kill Or Be Killed]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OziABOjVSZQ&pp=ygU-RHVlbCAtIEZyaWVuZCBUdXJuZWQgRm9lIChUaGUgYm9uZCBiZXR3ZWVuIE1hc3RlciBhbmQgU2VydmFudCk%3D Friend Turned Foe]].
8	** Saber [[spoiler:Nero Claudius]] theme, officially named [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk-abY4ek-U Survant_Extra (Saber, Everything is On Her Hand)]] is perphaps the best remember theme from the game. Becoming a recurrent tune in future games.
9	** Of tracks originating from ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'' the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAQkoznpuOE&t=1s&pp=ygUSZmF0ZS9leHRyYSBjY2Mgb3N0 BB Channel]] theme may be the best remembered. Getting remixed into a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xB7Fw96NQI&pp=ygUUYmIgY2hhbm5lbCB0aGVtZSBmZ28%3D battle theme]] in VideoGame/FateGrandOrder may have also helped.
10	** With [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHCYt_SD__0&pp=ygUOc3BpbmFsIGNvYXN0ZXI%3D Spinal Coaster]] playing during said BB Channel events sounding ominous and terryfing.
11	** Though Gilgamesh has several musical themes, none went to become his more prominent leifmotif unlike [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfN8n4lH6pY cosmic air]]. Even returning and getting remixed in further prominent games.
12	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMtN7f8ZL1M Senketsu Majou]], or in english, The Blood Countess. Another track that'd become to be re-arrange constantly as the character Elizabeth would grow to become extremely popular. Quite the theme for a wannabe Idol.
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drcWXTIz7rc&pp=ygUmRmF0ZS9FWFRSQSBDQ0Mgb3N0IExvdmUgaXMgbGlrZSBwb2lzb24%3D Love is Like a Poison]], the theme of the [[spoiler:boss fights against Meltlilith and Passion Lip.]] Feeling The theme of twisted love.
14	** BB's boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcw_Af1D1FQ Bottom Black - Moon Gazer]]. A battle theme that emcopasses that a [[spoiler:ghost that shouldn't exist went made it as a living god with all the sorrow that comes with it.]]
15	%%** Gilgamesh, per usual.
16	%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: By none other than Music/ShinjiHosoe.
17	* BrokenBase: The excessive fanservice in ''CCC'' (see FetishRetardant). Split between the people who love it (as it was definitely geared towards them), 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.
18	* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: in the original game, as CCC made stat gains automatic based on the servant. Sure, you CAN create a balanced, Jack-of-all-trades build in Extra...or you can just pump every alteration point you get into the sergeant's [[OneStatToRuleThemAll main damage stat]] since after all, the best defense is the enemy just dying without getting to hit you. It wasnt unusual for players at mid game to have their main stat at Rank EX and everything else at Rank E.
19	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Hans Christian Andersen is one of the most memorable characters in ''CCC'' because he's a middle-aged man with a 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.
20	* EvenBetterSequel: ''EXTRA'' was... a perfectly competent game from a mid-tier developer, with some interesting gameplay ideas and some nice visuals and music. ''CCC'', meanwhile, is (for all it occasionally gets a little excessively "lewd") widely considered one of the swan songs of the PSP in Japan and one of the finest [=RPGs=] released on the platform, with fantastic story and characters, a killer soundtrack, a number of improvements to the gameplay systems, and visuals that push the PSP to its limits in a number of places. (This makes a lot of people more than a little frustrated [[NoExportForYou that it never left Japan]]... until a FanTranslation of the game was ''finally'' released 10 years later.)
21	* {{Fanon}}: Hakuno's first servant in the near side story 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 by 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.
22	* FanPreferredCouple:
23	** [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Despite the amount of ships she has]], the most popular ship for Female Hakuno in the English speaking fandom is Gilgamesh/Hakuno (which was shipped even ''before'' Gilgamesh was added). In Japan, Female Hakuno/Archer is also extremely popular.
24	** For Male Hakuno he is commonly paired with the playable Caster. Male Hakuno/Gilgamesh also has a following in Japan, as does Male Hakuno/Red Saber.
25	* FetishRetardant:
26	** Saber's see-through skirt is not titillating so much as pointless and hilarious-looking.
27	** [[http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/9/9a/PLCCC.png Passionlip]] from ''CCC'' has breasts bigger than her head with only thin straps to cover her nipples. Many agreed that her [[AdaptationalModesty design]] in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' is ''much'' better.
28	** The TrueFinalBoss from ''CCC'', whose Noble Phantasm basically revolves around [[spoiler:spreading their legs, sticking the planet Earth into their vagina, and attacking you with the resulting orgasm]]. Regardless of whether it's supposed to be FanService or actually intended as FanDisservice, the whole thing ends up looking rather [[{{Narm}} comical]].
29	* GameBreaker: Gilgamesh from ''CCC''. It's mostly intentional, and already attesting his mode was known as "Hax mode". Not only his stats are higher than average already at the beginning, but he also 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[[note]]it can only be used when the enemy's HP is low[[/note]], no matter who is against you. 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:
30	--> '''Commenter:''' ''"Seriously, I don't even know who the TrueFinalBoss is anymore."''[[note]]Probably the most votes go to Gilgamesh and the player character.[[/note]]
31	* GeniusBonus: 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, it being part of her Noble Phantasm.]] ''Anime/FateExtraLastEncore'''s English dub has her call him "Performer". The fan translation of CCC gives the option to translate it as "Maestro".
32	* HilariousInHindsight:
33	** This game ''almost'' answers the infamous Nasuverse PowerLevels question: [[spoiler:"Can [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki]] kill [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Servants?]]"]]. The reason this is an "almost" is because [[spoiler:the Shiki is ''[[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Ryougi]]'' [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Shiki]], and the Moon Cell isn't exactly the Holy Grail of the original series.]]
34	** Being [[EvenTheGuysWantHim GAR for]] [[StupidSexyFlanders Archer]] was an early Nasuverse fandom meme. Archer's bonus ''CCC'' costume has him shirtless in a leather jacket and leather pants, making him resemble a stereotypical [[{{Leatherman}} gay icon]].
35	** 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 a bad master, and Gilgamesh has yet to reveal Ea when they fight.]]
36	** It was a minor meme to refer to Sakura in the ''Heaven's Feel'' route of the original ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' as an "erotical black hole". Guess what the TrueFinalBoss's Noble Phantasm in ''CCC'', a game which places quite a lot of focus on Sakura, basically is.
37	** After the game was launched, shippers started shipping [[FanPreferredCouple Female Hakuno/Gilgamesh]] or even [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight the small but existent]] Female Hakuno/[[Literature/FateApocrypha Karna]]. Some time later, ''CCC'' came and ''both'' [[IKnewIt Gilgamesh and Karna were added, as a playable Servant and an enemy Servant respectively]].
38	** The two Casters introduced in the original game are voiced by Creator/ChiwaSaito and Creator/AiNonaka. This was before the two would play actual {{Magical Girl}}s in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''.
39	* HoYay:
40	** Some minor examples between a male MC and Archer, such as Dan's Archer making pointed comments about 'domestic strife' and the Week 7 Day 2 scene still playing out like a LoveConfession.
41	** There's [[spoiler:tension between a male MC and Julius]], if you've got your ShippingGoggles on.
42	** Ronnie's Lancer, on the other hand, is as forthright with the Ho Yay -- upon being confronted with the playable Archer -- as you'd expect from his other lines.
43	--->'''Lancer''': ''"Is it not fateful, stiff-backed archer?"''
44	--->'''Lancer''': ''"That noble stare of yours outshines the moon. You are the Apollo that I have been searching for!"''
45	--->'''Lancer''': ''"I long to pierce that supple body of yours with my spear. You compel me, you, you -- you '''supremely gorgeous creature."'''''
46	** The female protagonist [[PurelyAestheticGender reacts very similarly to how the male protagonist acts]] when it comes to interacting with other girls, including being awed by their beauty. The scene in which [[spoiler:the girl you saved gets jealous over the other girl feeding you lunch]] plays out ''exactly the same'' with a female protagonist as it does with a male protag.
47	** Both the playable Saber and Caster fall in love with her. Caster even [[spoiler:declares her to be her husband if you choose the right options]], just like with the male protagonist.
48	** The reason a lot of fans say to pick Male Hakuno with Gilgamesh in CCC is specifically because it's the "bros for life" route.
49	* ItWasHisSled: Much like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight its predecessor]], almost everything about the servents in this game and its sequel ''CCC'', like Saber's and Caster's identities, has became subject to LateArrivalSpoiler thanks to ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' and the ''VideoGame/FateExtella'' games.
50	* LauncherOfAThousandShips:
51	** At [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/133-Insert-title-here-a-tribute-to-the-protagonists-of-fate-extra this point]], the female MC has been paired with ''everyone else in the entire franchise''. So much that people started saying that she's inherited the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Tohno Gland]].
52	** While not to the extent as the female MC, the male MC has been paired up with a lot of the other characters as well.
53	* MemeticMutation:
54	** Caster's Castration Punch.[[note]]In ''Fate/Extra'', Caster mentioned using an attack combo used to Castrate people. Became an AscendedMeme in ''CCC'' where it's now an attack for her, and it deals massive damage to male enemies.[[/note]]
55	** [[LargeHam "AUO,]] [[FullFrontalAssault Cast Off!"]][[note]]Gilgamesh "defeats" CCC Lancer by taking his clothes off and shouts that when he does it.[[/note]]
56	** '''[[NoIndoorVoice 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]]. This has exploded into various characters from other franchises depicted in this style, with the meme peaking as Christmas approaches.[[/note]]
57	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:
58	** In the first game, many players hated Gawain for his jerkness toward [[http://i.imgur.com/GM5Ls.png the playable Servants]] and because of his near [[MyMasterRightOrWrong blind loyalty]] to Leo [[spoiler:influenced by his MyGreatestFailure regarding Camelot]]. ''Fate[=/=]Extra CCC'' and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' made Gawain more likeable and gave him a much better characterization.
59	** Shinji. His counterpart in the original ''Fate/stay night'', while not exactly on TheScrappy level, is a HateSink with irredeemable character traits. Many fans and players alike find ''Fate/Extra''[='=]s Shinji to be a much better characterization of Shinji for being nicer and [[spoiler:were sad at his HeroicSacrifice]] in ''CCC''. These actions made him far more likable than his ''Fate/stay night'' counterpart as a result.
60	** Gilgamesh isn't a character that's universally hated by the fandom, but his douchebaggery in ''Fate/stay night'' hasn't exactly appealed him to a lot of fans, with the only reason why he's well-liked is because he defines EvilIsCool. In ''Fate/Extra'', Gilgamesh is still a colossal jerk, but is capable of showing more aspects of his personality beyond his arrogance and is capable of forming a genuine bond with Hakuno with no strings attached. ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' further increases his likability during the Babylonian Singularity, showing him in his Caster form which depicts him as a UniversallyBelovedLeader whose arrogance has been tempered by his journey to seek the Herb of Immortality.
61	* TheScrappy: [[MonsterClown Lil' Ronnie]] is ''painfully'' annoying to listen to. aNd rEaD. As a result, it's not surprising that most players didn't care when CCC reveals that on this side, [[spoiler:Liz impaled her right after being summoned out of disgust towards her master.]]
62	* SignatureSong: Nero's take on the Jingle Bells song.
63	* SpoiledByTheFormat: [[spoiler:Gawain using the same battle music as the other Servants is a dead give away he isn't the FinalBoss.]]
64	* {{Squick}}: The final boss's Noble Phantasm in CCC involves using a planet as a sex toy.
65	* TakeThatScrappy: In the CCC continuity, instead of Vlad, Lil' Ronnie summons [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory Elizabeth]], who realizes [[EveryoneHasStandards how utterly batshit crazy]] her Master is and promptly kills Ronnie so she can get a more reliable replacement.
66	* ThatOneAttack: In ''CCC'', Lancer's Tail attack is unfair. If you block the attack, you still take some damage, but you get stunned which leaves it open for her to attack you right away. If you don't block, you take a good amount of damage, and since she's already a WakeUpCallBoss, it means you'll likely be having issues trying to keep your HP up to survive.
67	* ThatOneBoss:
68	** In the first game, no matter what path you follow, the Lancer you fight will be a pain to fight due to their high attack and extremely high defense. [[spoiler:The Lancer from Rani's path is even worse because of his OneHitKO.]]
69	** In ''Extra CCC'', the boss fight with Karna is this if your playing as Caster because his attacks are punishing against [[SquishyMage Caster]] and his Noble Phantasm is almost a OneHitKO.
70	* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: A common criticism of the original game was that it was a watered down ''VideoGame/Persona3'' 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.
