** Additionally, having a personality that can drink alcohol could be a useful "disguise" for Hundred Personas. After all, if people know that the murderer is a Muskim, they'll be unlikely to suspect the alcoholist.

* Fuyuki City in flames is already very disturbing, but compare the map in this game to the map of Fuyuki in ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'', the first area of the map is ''the Emiya residence'', the large crater in the ground is exactly where the Tohsaka residence was and the area where you can fight Heracles as a BonusBoss is the forest outside the Einzbern Castle. And if you look at a version of the map without game icons, you can see a long city-spanning line of fire that was shot by Excalibur.

* Many of the characters Third Append Skill, while seeming random, perfect fit their character, either as a reference to their history within the wider Fate franchise, or their his history as a figure from history:

** Servants within the Pretenders class are described to an enemy to the world through spinning impersonations. Because of this, the Foreigner class would be a good weakness to them. After all, they get their power from ''outside'' the world, and thus Pretenders would be far less likely to deceive them.

*** Ereshkigal and Kama should also be noted here as both of those servants are pseudo-servants of Rin and Sakura respectively as well. While Muramasa does have class advantage against Ereshkigal despite the above explanation, it can make sense if you think of it in a different perspective as Rin and Shirou are respective [[{{Foil}} Foils]] to one another as they lack each other's FatalFlaw[[note]]Rin lacks Shirou's recklessness and Shirou doesn't try to hide his kind side the way Rin does[[/note]]. So, it makes that Muramasa has a class advantage against one Rin servant (Ereshkigal) and a class disavantage against another Rin servant (Ishtar). As for Ereshkigal and Parvati, since Ereshkigal is Ishtar's sister, it makes sense that Ereshkigal shall be in the same class as the pseudo-servant for Rin's actual sister. Kama might be the odd one out since she doesn't fit into the Saber/Archer/Lancer class triangle until you realized these things- Ishtar was a welfare Rider servant for Summer 2017; Shirou uses a Caster servant's Noble Phantasm in order to sever Sakura's contract with Angra Mainyu and "defeat" Dark Sakura; and while not applicable to regular Muramasa, he actually has manifested as an Alter-Ego throughout his Lostbelt appearances--something that handily has an advantage against an Assassin like Kama/Dark Sakura.

** Speaking of Tiamat, take a good look at her [[MsFanservice "Femme Fatale"]] form. [[StatuesqueStunner An amazing body perfect for attracting mates,]] [[HartmanHips wide hips well suited for giving birth,]] [[BoobsOfSteel and ample breasts ideal for nursing large amounts of offspring;]] she's the Primordial Mother, and her body is built to reflect that.

** Worse yet, it is implied ORT is one of the weakest Aristoteles of the Sol system. And in the end they will all gang up on the heirs of humanity, at once.

*** It could also be some form of foreshadowing to the fact that Gilgamesh has a ''Caster'' version - after all, she doesn't mention the fate of any of the other 5 classes that are available when Saber Wars takes place[[note]]Rider, Assassin, Caster, Berserker, and Ruler[[/note]], and Caster! Gilgamesh would be a good choice for taking down an Assassin...like MHX.

** Altria, her alter alt, and Mordred have a NP refund effect when they use their Noble Phantasm. While seems like a gameplay element, their Noble Phantasms involve charging up a powerful SwordBeam that they then throw at the enemy. As shown back in ''Fate Zero'', Altria there was able to store her Excalibur to use when she needed to, which translates here in gameplay as them having some of the extra power left over.
** If you realize that the player Ritsuka has 100% Master Affinity it actually explains why some servants can't use their abilities or that they work differently. Ritsuka is capable of working with any servant, but has little skill as a mage. Because they can't supply as much mana even with Chaldea doing most of the work their affinity as a Master could change a servant's Saint Graph to make them as effective as possible with the current limitations. Like how Karna's armor lacks the ability to reduce all attacks to 1/10 and his absolute kill spear doesn't grant a guaranteed kill anymore, but in exchange can be fired off repeatedly. Achilles Noble Phantasms being made into Personal Skills and being able to interact effectively with one another would also apply. Other examples would include Armor of Fafnir, God Hand, and other Noble Phantasms described, but not shown in the game.

** Voyager being a Foreigner was a rather odd choice of class given that other members of the class were all EldritchAbomination who’s mere existence could shatter the minds of those who see them. But then again, much of Creator/H.P. Lovecraft's work involved the unknown and the fear of the unknown, particularly the ocean. And what’s something Mankind doesn’t know about yet? The Deep Ocean and Space, because despite how much we know about the stars and how they work, the existence of other planets that could support life, there is still much we do not know, things that would make people afraid. Especially back when Voyager was first sent into space.
