* EarlyBirdCameo: It's common for at least one SSR Servant to be released immediately before the story chapter they feature heavily in rather than at the release of the chapter itself. For example, Karna and Arjuna had trial quests before America was released, Xuanzang had the Go West event right before Camelot, Ishtar was released before Babylonia with special summon lines and Altria Caster came out before Lostbelt 6 with some details of her profile obscured.



** [[spoiler:Then there's the Foreign God, who served as the GreaterScopeVillain that Goetia and the Demon Pillars originally acted against before Chaldea's intervention, with Räum even attempted to summon an Outer God as desperate action to oppose the Foreign God. Although how different the Foreign God is from the Outer Gods isn't clear yet.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Alakshmi is the Hindu goddess of misfortune, but is quietly lending her support to Chaldea during Yuga Kshetra as best she can [[spoiler:in order to free her sister and the other gods from Arjuna.]]



** In the pseudo-singularity Salem due to the unique boundary field around Salem if any of the servants you brought were killed, Chaldea cannot retain their memories. [[spoiler:Sanson almost suffered this fate if not for Abigail.]]
** In the third Lostbelt S.I.N., [[spoiler:Spartacus sacrifices his life to protect a village with his spirit origin so damaged that Chaldea cannot retain his memories.]]
** In Lostbelt 5.2 Olympus [[spoiler:Musashi sacrifices her existence to seal away Lostbelt Chaos. If you have Musashi in your Chaldea, she's nothing more than an EmptyShell]].

** A few Servants such as Suzuka Gozen have skills or Noble Phantasms that if overused or sometimes used at all will void their qualifications to ever be summoned again, or, for the likes of Medusa, at least summon a certain aspect of them.



** Downplayed in the case of the Olympian gods. They are actually enormous mecha from another universe who came to Earth to harvest it. But they ended up settling down on the planet instead, and their interactions with humans led them to be worshipped as gods. This belief and continued interactions with humans caused them to form human avatars and gain personalities beyond what their programming and logic dictated. For instance, Aphrodite was designed as an education robot, but became the goddess of love and beauty. [[spoiler:However, they lost their Aletheian forms during their enormous battle with Sefar 14,000 years ago. The key divergence in the Atlantic Lostbelt is that Zeus forcibly had them combine to defear Sefar, allowing them to retain their machine bodies and continually upgrade them for thousands of years, making them all even more monstrously powerful than they were in Proper Human History]].

** [[spoiler:Tenochitlan]] was originally a nature spirit inhabiting a lake that simply didn't move away when humans settled on top of her long ago like a spirit normally would. Two other deities being enshrined in the city [[spoiler:and frequent blood sacrifices on top of her]] caused her to gain her own divinity and change her original nature [[spoiler:such that she considers herself to be the personification of the city and can only speculate that this was her original origin, indicating she doesn't even remember said previous life.]]



* DenserAndWackier: The events usually involve significantly more hijinks and comedy than the main story (beating up other servants to get back stolen dango, Elisabeth Bathory hosting a Halloween party, Nobunaga and Okita showing up alongside chibi-Nobu clones, Saber Alter wanting to become Santa and kidnapping you to be her reindeer, etc).

Players for a time even debated whether these events really happened until references began to appear in the main story.



* DeusEstMachina: [[spoiler:The Atlantis Lostbelt reveals that the Greek Pantheon were originally machines created by the extraterrestrial Titans in a deal with Gaia. In normal history, Sefar's White Titan destroyed their physical machine bodies, which lead to them becoming human-like in the process. In the Atlantis Lostbelt, the Greek Gods won instead and stayed their cold machine selves.]]

* GameFavoredGender: ''Fate/Grand Order'' is widely known for its bias being heavily skewed in favor of the female characters, while the plot is usually written towards Ritsuka being male.

* GameFavoredGender: ''Fate/Grand Order'' is widely known for its bias being heavily skewed in favor of the female characters, while the plot is usually written towards Ritsuka being male. There are only a handful of occasions where it's acknowledged in dialogue when the player character is not male and the difference is typically superficial, though at least Medusa finds you more attractive and Super Orion will ask if there are more girls as cute as you in Chaldea.

** Near the start of Shinjuku, you meet up with Jeanne Alter while traveling with Saber Alter. The latter taunts the former about having a Master ''exactly'' the same way someone might brag about having a hot boyfriend, and this dynamic holds strong throughout the chapter as a sort-of-but-not-really love triangle.



* HeadbuttingHeroes: Two of your three main allies in Shinjuku are Altria and Jeanne Alter, who flat out hate each other. At multiple points, they nearly try to kill each other.

These aren't the only party members who don't get along, but most of the time the grudges are based on historical enmity and after some grumbling are set aside without issue.



* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: The first fight against [[spoiler:Solomon]] is this. Even though you defeated [[spoiler:four of his Demon Pillars, he still oneshots Kintoki, Tamamo, and Shakespeare all at once, kills Andersen a minute later,]] and makes it clear that he sees the protagonist as no threat to him, leaving them alive on a whim.
