Introduction
What is this game?
A spinoff in Type Moon's Fate series, Fate/EXTRA is a dungeon crawler RPG released on the PSP that released on July 2010 in Japan, and November 2011 everywhere else. Extra is the first video game in the Fate series with an entirely separate plot as the previous two, Unlimited Codes and Tiger Colosseum, both used the same setting and characters as Fate/Stay Night.
Fate/Extra got middling reviews (mostly due to a rather dull combat system), but was successful enough to earn multiple sequels, and even has a full remake in the works!
The Story
Look, Extra's gameplay is subpar at best, all it has going for it is story. I'm not even doing a quick blurb about it, so you don't walk in already knowing things.
Do I need to know anything about Fate to understand this?
Nope! A number of things call back to Stay Night, but all of that is more of a small bonus for fans. The core concepts of the story will get explained properly.
LP Style
Hybrid LP, majority screenshots with the occasional gif to spice things up.
Important moments will get videos, but those will be few and far between.
This LP is using the Perfect Patch made by Iwakura Productions, which adds in subtitles for combat chatter, as well as tweak a few terms to better match later entries in the series.
Spoilers?
DO NOT.I don't care that Fate/Grand Order has been out in the west for four years and damn near everything and everyone here has made an appearance there with all secrecy cast aside. A major thing of the series is trying to figure out the True Name of whoever the hero is fighting, and I don't want anyone casually dropping names.
You can talk about anything else in the Fate series, provided it doesn't spoil anything in Extra.
What if I want to support you?
I have a ko-fi link set up over here. Never feel obligated to toss me some money, but it certainly helps!
