They don't get much weirder than Fate/Grand Order's Thomas Edison, but he's an interesting Heroic Spirit and he embodies what the game does well, stretching character traits of famous figures to their extreme (and then adding hefty amounts of creative liberty on top). Apparently, though, because he's not a particularly strong choice as a Heroic Servant on his own - he's pretty modern to be selected by the Throne of Heroes - he also manifested with generations-worth of American Presidents reinforcing the concept of his being, which resulted in a lion man who loves the United States (and electricity) an awful lot. It's pretty difficult to explain, then, exactly why Edison is a towering, well-built man equipped with shoulder lightbulbs with a lion's head in Fate/Grand Order.

He's credited with the invention of the camera, light bulb, and phonograph to name a few, so his connection to electricity as a whole is pretty built-in to any representation of him as a Heroic Spirit. FGO's Leonardo Da Vinci (Caster)įor those unfamiliar, Thomas Edison was an American inventor, often described as the greatest from that country. Here's a list of Fate/Grand Order's weirdest real-life historical figures - prepare for a lot of creativity. Instead of pulling back on the reins a little, Fate/Grand Order dives headlong into some truly off-the-wall depictions of people who actually existed - and almost certainly didn't exist the way they're shown in-game.
The way Fate/Grand Order depicts its mythological or legendary characters is one thing, but the game gets especially weird when it comes to interpreting FGO real-life servants based on history. Related: Fate Grand Order: Getting Started (Tips, Tricks, & Strategies) Perhaps the best-known example of how Fate changes up history and myth is in King Arthur's interpretation across the Fate universe as Artoria Pendragon, a female version of Arthur and, as far as the game's lore is concerned, the accurate depiction of the legendary British hero.

However, Fate/Grand Order and the Fate series as a whole ties these elements together with an emphasis on loose interpretations of historical figures and facts, resulting in a story that's often weird but familiar on some level. It's similar to Genshin Impact in that regard, but instead of characters and weapons, it's Servants and Craft Essences (alongside a few other items) that make up a player's inventory. Fate/Grand Order's premise lends itself well to interesting interpretations of historical figures across cultures, and the result is often something extremely surprising, if not an almost complete departure from the source material altogether.įate/Grand Order is a mobile title that thrives on introducing variety into its gameplay systems through Servants, the characters players add to their roster over time through the game's gacha mechanics.
Anyone familiar with Fate/Grand Order knows just how ridiculous and bizarre its characters can get - especially the ones based on real-life historical figures.
