History YMMV / FateExtellaTheUmbralStar

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpksRHLVpYY&pp=ygUWRmF0ZS9FWFRFTExBIHJhem9yZWRnZQ%3D%3D razoredge]] is one of the game's mandatories songs that fits either an intense discution, or carry straigth to battle. Though is usually plays before battling.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmWXrn7cd8M&pp=ygUYRmF0ZS9FWFRFTExBIFN0cmlrZSBCYWNr Strike Back]]. Just as the name implies. A franfic and proper action theme, that gets more and more serious as it continues on.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oelNsQoysUc rise and fall]] one of the games boss themes. However is standing scene must be when played at the moment in which decided to protect a harmed Altera.

** The final boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NETBPmiNpUs White Titan]] or also simply refer to as Sefar. It's a song emcosing the final battle ahead, and [[spoiler:that Nero has gotten the power boost she needed to deal with the Velber Ship Core!]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: [[spoiler:After being hyped up in every appearance and falling short due to a bunch of outside factors in every case, Karna finally gets a perfectly fair and even battleground to fight in. In his substory, this results in him demolishing everyone outside of Tamamo's team, including Cu Chulainn, Iskander, Altera, and even ''Gilgamesh'' in a fair fight.]]

* DracoInLeatherPants: An In-Universe example happened to Nero, who was given another HistoricalHeroUpgrade beyond the one ''Extra'' gave her and greatly highlighted her better traits while downplaying her worsts ones.

* ContinuityLockout: Considering that this game takes place on the same timeline as the VideoGame/FateExtra games, those who might have not picked them up might get very left out of the loop concerning the world the game builds up. Especially since ''CCC'' [[NoExportForYou wasn't released outside Japan]]. In addition ''Extella'' also references Altera's backstory from VideoGame/FateGrandOrder, which at the time of Extella's release, wasn't localized outside Japan yet.

* EarWorm: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nSTeF2o0R0 song]] that Elizabeth sings in the first battle ''will'' get stuck in your head due to how many times you'll hear it[[note]]Nero's route and ''every'' one of the characters on her faction's fist level will be Elizabeth[[/note]]
* GameBreaker: Gawain in ''Umbral Star''. Once his full moveset is unlocked, Gawain have a self buff that gives him improved attack range, and 2 move that staggers the opponent in place for high combo count before exploding them for massive damage with the full version of C4 and C5. During the duration of his self buff, C4 fills the Extella gauge at ridiculous pace, allowing Gawain to freely use Extella Maneuver to fulfill killcounts quota and quickly fills out his Moon Drive gauge. In his Moon Drive form, Gawain's C5 turns into a monstrous move, it locks enemy servant in place even through SuperArmor, and the explosion finisher does massive damage, able to 1-2 shot most boss servant.

* AmericansHateTingle: The gameplay is generally looked down upon in Western countries compared to Japan. This is because it is part of the Musou game genre, which is seen as a repetitive button masher, whereas it's more popular in Japan due to the Dynasty Warriors games.

** [[spoiler: Saber Venus]] is [[PurposelyOverpowered specifically created to be this]]. Her normal attacks can stagger Servants even if they are in Moon Crux/Regalia Mode and is an incredible LightningBruiser. Her only flaws are that she cannot use Moon Crux/Regalia Mode (since [[spoiler:Saber Venus]] itself '''is''' a SuperMode, this makes sense) and Noble Phantasm (considering how powerful it is [[spoiler:at the end of the True Route, it could easily destroy the battlefield]] this also makes sense) in Free Battle and her Bond Level Growth is incredibly limited [[note]] You can only use Code Casts to improve her Bond Level [[FridgeLogic which is also odd]] because [[spoiler:Saber Venus is Nero]][[/note]] but she is incredibly powerful.

* BrokenBase:
** The portrayal of the two heroines and the two heroes contributed to this even further. In VideoGame/FateExtra and CCC all four of the main servants had been depicted as Anti-Heroes, and their flaws were always emphasized by the games. Extella gave Nero another HistoricalHeroUpgrade beyond the one Extra had given her, and played up her better traits while simultaneously highlighting Tamamo's worst ones. Combined with the sidelining of Nameless and Gilgamesh (both of them were made their factions NumberTwo and didn't contribute much to the story) it made the player base feel like not only was Nero being pushed, but other characters were actively being sidelined or sabotaged to promote her.
** Archimedes' [[spoiler:reveal as the BigBad. One camp sees him as an effective, entertaining chessmaster, while others decry him claiming that his reveal completely sidelines and damsels the much more well received Altera, his plan and motivations make no sense, and his lore as a Velber-corrupted Servant completely contradicts the laws of Moon Cell Servants being ''literally'' incapable of defying the Moon Cell's will in ''any'' way.]]
