Pretty nice review. Two things; 1: Iori gets more characterisation in NG+, with the game also letting you fast forward through anything that isn't new, so it's worth beating the game a second time for another ending. 2: loud incorrect buzzer, Saber is not a woman, they're genderless. People use pronouns for them in-universe based on assumptions but their character entry never updates to confirm and this gender nonconformity is preserved in their FGO profile.
It's nice to see a fellow dmc fan (at least I assume since I got recommend your dmc videos) trying out a fate game, I can understand being skeptical or just not taking it seriously with the franchise, especially since the bulk of it's popularity in the west came from F/GO but it'd be nice if you could give some more consideration with it's combat mechanics, specifically considering the afterglow mechanic and it's kinda directed by the same dude that made the Nioh games possible. Now it's not to say the review was bad or anything but considering the comparison to P5 Strikers/Scramble I'm a bit surprised that dodging and riposting just doesn't get anything said on it.... Anyway thanks for reading but I do regret it when the combat in these games aren't taken seriously.

Fun Fact + Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . . Yamato Takeru (Saber) was released not long ago in FGO. He was listed as Genderless there, probably due to him crossdressing a few times in actual history and Nasu himself wanting an androgynous companion.
Also fun fact : Iori is basically using Cheat code when he summons Saber. Servant have fame boost where the more local populace know their legend the stronger they'll be. Iori summoned Yamato Takeru, one if not the most renown legendary Japanese hero from mythical age. Not only he's extremely well known among the Japanese, he;s old as it can get for a Japanese hero. Iori summoned THAT Yamato Takeru in Japan, the fame boost gotta be absurdly crazy and it shows. Saber never struggle, hurt or even lose against anyone in FSR.
I always get frustrated with depictions of Musashi Miyamoto. He used two swords because he was left handed and all swordfighting was based around right handed fighters. I have no idea how they're going to explain this in the Onimusha anime series that's coming to Netflix. I guess they're used to getting history wrong. Sorry, rant over.

12:38 actually it is connected with FGO mobile game as well as main Fate writer Nasu confirmed that Musashi from FSR is the one that will appear at certain Chapter in the game that was happening long after the one on which manga is based was done story vise.
Yes as per the collab explain.. timeline wise (which is oxymoron given that FGO is a tangled mess of wimmy wammy spacey bendy universe) that Waxing moon ritual happens before Shimousa and Olympus. Well it's already obvious that this happens before Shimousa because FSR Musashi are explicitly said to have yet perfected her [ ] sword.
I would say unexpected review, but given you liked some of my tweets about this game lol. I was thinking you might have played this in the dark.

Not at all There's little nods and references and such but its very mild stuff pretty much everything about it is self contained musashi may be the one from fate GO but shes a dimension hopper so her being here is still completely seperate from other stuff
I don’t know how far you’ve gotten in the game, but Iori’s character is much more interesting than he’s originally portrayed. You get more info on his actual personality if you play through NG+.
Play FGO too or at least read through the story on youtube/watch a let's play, past the first few chapters it's great and the main reason to play it plus Shimousa is already finished in it and it has more Musashi even outside of just that chapter
Here's a totally unnecessary trivia : That manga, and the chapter from FGO it's based on is not prequel for FSR... it's actually the sequel. FSR Musashi is Musashi before the event in Shimosa since she has yet perfected her [ ] (void) sword as stated in FSR. Shimousa is where she perfected her [ ] sword so chronologically (if that have any meaning that is) it happens after FSR.
