History VideoGame / FateSamuraiRemnant

''Fate/Samurai Remnant'' is an installment in the ''Franchise/FateSeries'', as an Action [=RPG=] being developed by Creator/KoeiTecmo's Omega Force in collaboration with Aniplex and Creator/TypeMoon, released on September 29, 2023. [[PeriodPiece It takes place in]] [[{{Jidaigeki}} historical Japan]] and focuses on Miyamoto Iori and his Saber-class Servant as they compete in the Waxing Moon Ritual, a variant of the Holy Grail War.

** If Iori is at critical health, there is a chance Saber will jump in to protect him from an attack and engage the enemy in a QTE to knock them back and do damage or fail and get knocked away themselves. During DualBoss fights with an enemy Master-Servant team, there is a chance focusing your attacks on the former will cause the latter to do this on ''you'', and only Saber or an allied Rogue Servant have the raw strength to properly turn such a clash around while Iori will just be delaying the inevitable in the QTE before getting smacked away.

* EnemyMine: Temporary alliances are drawn between the Master-Servant teams for the sake of taking out the other competitors in the war. Iori, Zheng, Dayu, and Shousetsu all team up to take out Assassin, whose snake familiars are overrunning Edo. Later still Iori, Shousetsu (mostly through information), and Dorothea team up to take out [[spoiler:Tsuchimikado, who has usurped command of many of the Servants in the war for himself, including Shousetsu's Rider and Dorothea's Assassin (though both are doing so for their own reasons), so that he can strong-arm his way to victory, with Dayu joining in on the side specifically to stop Rogue Berserker]]. [[spoiler:Toward the end of the game, all of the surviving Masters and Servants team up with the exception of Tsuchimikado for the sake of taking down Rider, who revealed her true colors as Ushi-Gozen, an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac intent on burning the world to the ground.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Dual Strikes are powerful synchronized attacks that Iori and Saber that usually have greater ranges and damage potential than the Servant's typical Affinity Techniques that cost the same amount of gauge, but it's not a good idea to have Saber's ability wheel primarily made up of (or even worse, completely) filled with Dual Strikes as there are times when the story will force the two to fight at separate locations. Luckily, you can go into the menu and change out Saber's ability wheel whenever you want.

* LadyAndKnight: There's a lot of this going on in this particular Holy Grail War amongst Servants and Masters. Musashi and Dayu are the most obvious duo with the former being summoned just in time to save her and a young girl from a brigand. There's also how a number of Heroic Spirits and humans who feel like Iori could be a good "knight" for them if he pursues their quest lines. Assassin refers to Dorothea as "princess" while serving her, and Rider has the aesthetic when set alongside the aristocratic elegance of Yui Shousetsu, although the two wind up [[spoiler:being subversions.]]

* TournamentArc: Essentially the premise of Gilgamesh's Keian command Championship for the first DLC Episode. All Masters and Servants (with the exception of Dayu, who is the sole non-combatant in the Waxing Moon Ritual) are summoned to compete to have a wish "grander than the moon" granted.

*** [[BossRush The DLC, '"Records Fragment Keiran Command Championship"']] has a ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' style Tournament with individual endings for each of the main Servant if you play them and beat the rest, and SuperBoss [[spoiler: Ruler Ibuki Douji]]

* EffectiveKnockoff: Zigzagged with the Waxing Moon Ritual, which was pieced together from incomplete records about the Holy Grail War system. On one hand, the fact that it's functional at all in those circumstances is impressive and commendable. On the other hand, it's very patched up and quite glitchy, resulting in awkward side-effects like the Servants not getting knowledge of the present or lacking overall knowledge of how the Servant/Master bond works (for instance, Saber had no idea they will disappear if Iori dies)... or the fact that there are ''fifteen'' of them, some of which even lacking Masters. Circe even openly complains about how shoddy the ritual is, specifically calling out how "wasteful" it is. [[spoiler:This becomes a bit of a problem late game when it turns out that after it's charged up with a few dead Servants, the Waxing Moon is unstable enough that it could ''explode'' if destroyed, threatening to take all of Edo with it unless siphoned into something safer first.]]

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: One of the Rogue Rider's digressions has Iori tracking down a fancy plate for her, and Kaya suggests going to see Boss' shop. When Iori naturally balks at the asking price of 1 million, he instead offers to trade it for a carved statue of himself. However if the player runs out of pieces of pine, he'll give Iori two pieces, but only twice. The third time he'll actually take pity on Iori (and the player) and just sell the plate in the shop for 1000.
