History Trivia / FateEXTRA

** A boss for chapter 3 of ''CCC'' was BBB, a HumongousMecha originally concieved as cobbled together from destroyed arenas but truncated down to a PaletteSwap of BB. The InUniverse reason for it not appearing in the game is Passionlip destroyed it. ''Grand Order'', once again, would revive part of this concept, with "BBB" being one of the {{Bonus Boss}}es in the epilogue of the Summer 2018 event, an "Avatar" of BB [[spoiler:specifically, BB as the Foreigner-class she's ''supposed'' to be in this event]] who you defeat to help power up Jeanne d'Arc Alter's Noble Phantasm.

*** Kingprotea was an AntiPoopSocking mechanic writ large: she would destroy areas to prevent long grinding periods or block off paths for item farming. She would also function as a rare encounter and beating her would restore the blocked or destroyed parts of the dungeon. Even after they cut her from the story, they did consider making her a BonusBoss but time got in the way.

* NoExportForYou: ''CCC''[='s=] lack of an English version, or even any version outside Japan, tends to set people's teeth on edge, as not only is it a very well-regarded RPG and one of the last big games for the PSP, it's also now the ''only'' "normal" video game entry in the Fate franchise to not get exported. ''VideoGame/FateExtella'' [[SequelFirst came out in English before it did!]] And Anglophones have even gotten ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', [[AdaptationDisplacement which now features every single character from Extra and CCC!]] Unfortunately, as time passes and with the outright closure of {{Creator/Imageepoch}}, the development studio Type-Moon partnered with to create the original ''EXTRA'' games, an international release looks ever-less likely; the only hope now is that Type-Moon's new BB Studio eventually does a remake or other re-release of it.

* DummiedOut: [[https://tcrf.net/Fate/Extra There are dialogue strings]] in the game's code for story branches that are not an option in the final game; saving Julius in week 5, saving Leo in week 6, and having the option to save both Rin ''and'' Rani in week 5.

* StarMakingRole: Red Saber is ''the'' role that really brought Creator/SakuraTange back into the spotlight after her ten-year absence from acting; to this day, across both ''EXTRA'' games, ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' and a whole bunch of little spinoffs and whatnot, it's the role she's played most consistently in the 2010s.

** Saver had an additional Noble Phantasm, a 7 kilometer wide chakram with a ring of light that looked like a rainbow above Saver that acted as a mobile artillery platform, shooting beams of light to anyone inside the ring. The number of rings of light increased with every turn until the seventh turn when his true power would be unleashed as the rings of light combine into one with a clang and the ring starts spinning at high speed to resemble the ring that floats behind the Celestial Buddha Variocana, and pillars of light coming from all 360 degrees of the ring converge on the player’s Servant, and the convergence causes a huge explosion that resembles a black hole. It got axed for gameplay due to the costs it would take to render it (especially since, back when the game was developed, ''Fate'' budgets weren't nearly as big).

** Similarly, the original storyboard for BB's Noble Phantasm, C.C.C. (or Cursed Cutting Crater), originally had a shadow spilling out of the Moon Cell in the shape of a shadow giant from ''Fate/stay night''[='s=] Heaven's Feel route before turning into a giant BB. BB would then scoop up the portion of the arena the player team was standing on, and crush it in her hands (thus creating a Cursed Cutting Crater). This was once again axed for both budget and technical limitations (as the whole sequence, with terrain destruction and increasing a model's size to that extent, proved difficult to do convincingly on the aging PSP). ''Fate/Grand Order'' would eventually use this original concept for the animation for BB's summer version, making use of the fact that even smartphones at the edge of ''F/GO''[='s=] minimum spec are ''vastly'' more powerful than a PSP.

*** The dialogue option, "...I can't really deny his words", and not saving anoyone would have triggered an event flag and the final cut ending, [[spoiler:Hakuno decides to take up Twice's place in the core of the Moon Cell, awaiting the next winner of the Moon Cell Holy Grail War.]]

** Nasu revealed on his blog that Florence Nightingale would have made an appearance in ''CCC'' as a Servant but was cut for time. [[RefittedForSequel She was later put into ''Fate/Grand Order'']].
