History Trivia / FateGrandOrder

** Shortly before Olympus got leaked data for the newly summonable servants and portraits for noticeable NPC's got leaked out. This most noticably noticeably included artwork for [[spoiler:U-Olga Marie]] which wouldn't be used unit Lostbelt 7

* RecastAsARegular: Creator/NobunagaShimazaki first appeared in the Franchise/FateSeries as one of Hassan of the Hundred Personas' many bodies in only one episode. In ''Grand Order'', he voices the male protagonist in all related adaptations or appearances in other media, as well as the Servants Arjuna, his Alter counterpart, and Edmond Dantes, all of whom make notable appearances in the main story and have been given costumes with extensive voicework to supplement their already existing set of lines.

* CreatorChosenCasting: Nasu decided that Creator/YuiIshikawa's work as female Hakuno Kishinami in ''Anime/FateExtraLastEncore'' would be able to pull off the role of Morgan/[[spoiler:Tonelico]] even without his given input so he had the role offered to her first.

* PlayingGertrude: Creator/YuiIshikawa plays Morgan Le Fay (a.k.a. Altria's older sister). However, in real life, she was born in 1989 which means she is years younger than Creator/AyakoKawasumi who is born in 1976.

** Many a fan predicted that the third Lostbelt [[spoiler:would have a connection to ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', whether directly or indirectly; this is because of its subtitle "Crimson Beauty Under the Moon", a clear allusion to Crimson Moon, the progenitor of True Ancestor vampires like Arcueid. While the story doesn't feature Arcueid herself, it does indeed focus on one of her fellow True Ancestors - Yu Miaoyi, known today as Hinako Akuta.]]

* {{Blooper}}: The Craft Essence reward for beating Traum, 'Keep a Prayer Burning in Your Heart' displays a completly different design for Johanna then what was shown in the chapter. Indicating that she either got a redesign at some point or that they used a different ascension of her then the one that showed up in story.

** The game was unlicensed outside Japan and China until June 25, 2017 when the game was released... for the United States and Canada only. On April 19, 2018, the English server became officially available in Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, and Australia. In August 2022, it became available in a number of European and Latin American countries and New Zealand. So, if you're in any other region, you'll still have to wait (or just download it from a third-party app). The biggest kick in the groin out of all this was to Malaysians, when they announced that the game will be launched in Malaysia alongside Singapore and Thailand, but pulled out due to “unforeseen circumstances” in the last minute. In February 2022, [[https://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=%2Fiframe%2F2022%2F0224_news%2F&fbclid=IwAR2CsBzJq363Yv_rMRMbXwoJ7KRd22tjxJefp8t02LAF3DxB2SIHCQsXTtA Vietnamese regulations have forced the game to be discontinued]].

* FlagshipFranchise: The game has easily become Type-Moon's most recognizable and profitable work to date, to the point where pretty much all ''Fate'' spinoffs after 2015 include at least one connection to ''Grand Order'' as something for newcomers to recognize from the game.

* PlayingGertrude: Creator/YuiIshikawa plays Morgan Le Fay Altria's older sister however in real life she was born in 1989 which means she is years younger than Creator/AyakoKawasumi who is born in 1976.

** With so many voice actors involved, it is possible to create parties based on shared works.

* PlayingGretrude: Creator/YuiIshikawa plays Morgan Le Fay Altria's older sister however in real life she was born in 1989 which means she is years younger than Creator/AyakoKawasumi who is born in 1976.

* PlayingGretrude: Creator/YuiIshikawa plays Morgan Le Fay Altria's older sister however in real life she is 33 years old years younger than Creator/AyakoKawasumi who is 46.

* PlayingGretude: Creator/YuiIshikawa plays Morgan Le Fay Altria's older sister however in real life she is 33 years old years younger than Creator/AyakoKawasumi who is 46.

** On the subject of Yusa, he and Creator/HochuOtsuka, the VA for Rider of Resistance/[[spoiler:UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus]], were co-stars on ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'' as Urataros and Deneb respectively.

** To no one's surprise, ''F/GO Arcade'' is Japan-only. Only adding salt to the players wounds, they’ve begun releasing VersionExclusiveContent that may not be implemented in the main game, meaning that for the servants, skins and CE’s that don’t make it, westerner players will never gain access to them.

** As Anime Japan is a Japan-only event, the story linked to the 2016 Heaven's Feel and Fate/Extra Last Encore event is not available in NA. However, this is partially subverted as the CE rewards eventually did appear in the NA server.

* WordOfDante:
** The popular fanfic Fanfic/FragmentsOfChaldea plays with various aspects of canon work for the sake of its narrative, to the point that because of how lore-rich the Nasuverse is, things created for the fic are mistaken as actual canon lore.[[labelnote:*]]To give an example, the fic treats different versions of the same Servant by turning them into a CompositeCharacter. If a different version of an already summoned servant is summoned, it becomes a "Memorial Essence" and is absorbed into the already summoned servant, giving them access to that variant's memories and abilities, such as when EMIYA [Alter] was summoned, EMIYA gained his memories and access to his guns.[[/labelnote]]
** Some of the officially published manga like ''From Lostbelt'' have a disclaimer that these are merely interpretations of the characters based on the manga author's own viewpoints and do not necessarily represent the authorial intent of Type-Moon or what would happen in the game. However, fans generally accept them as canon because they are in officially published avenues like Type-Moon's manga website or magazine.

** [[https://twitter.com/motomurabito/ Murabito]], the main artist of Christopher Columbus, certainly enjoys making his own expansions of Columbus without any of them getting into the ''Fate'' canon. Chief amongst them are [[https://twitter.com/motomurabito/status/980467145409638403 Columbus Lily]], depicting Columbus in his childhood [[UsedToBeASweetKid where he was a normal, sweet, upstanding boy before greed eventually took over him]], and [[https://twitter.com/motomurabito/status/1122030438988468224 Columbus Alter]], his very own [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]], owing to how Alter Servants are the same Servant with their morality inversed, meaning that he got his exaggerated HistoricalVillainUpgrade ''removed''[[note]]Though it was still ambiguous about whether this is Columbus when he was celebrated as one of America's Founding Fathers (before his controversies were revealed) or not[[/note]] and he got an AgeLift to portray himself younger and [[BeautyEqualsGoodness he's much more pleasant looking too.]] [[spoiler:The former ends up becoming AscendedFanon as Columbus Lily goes on to make an appearance in Chaldea Summer Adventure.]]
