![]() I'd guess the selection was a result of Eizbern's notion that both Master and Servant are mere tools and nothing more. When you take into consideration what happened during the previous Holy Grail War, it also makes sense that he might have wanted a pawn who wouldn't be burdened with the distraction of personal thoughts and feelings. Nasu: It's probably because Einzbern thinks the Berserker class is the best. With Heracles as the Heroic Spirit, he would have been equally formidable as Saber or Archer. I'm pretty sure there was a special spell for the Berserker class, so does that mean it was a conscious choice. Takeuchi: I do wonder why Einzbern chose the Berserker class for Heracles. His new existence was consumed entirely by his Master's commands. While Berserker still had a bit of awareness as Heracles, any thoughts he had spinning around in his head were constantly being channeled toward destruction. Among all the summoned Servants, Heracles was a true hero. When we crafted the Noble Phantasm God Hand, I knew I didn't want a man who had accomplished such great feats to do anything below his dignity. Takeuchi: Berserker is like a blank state when it comes to his master, isn't he? But Takeuchi suggested making Berserker's new master a Lolita character, I have to admit I was really excited by the idea. (laughs) In old "Fate", Berserker's master was a slightly psychotic hitman sent in by the Holy Church. I imagine most people would avert their eyes or do whatever they needed to in order to "not notice" something like that. I doubt most people would even register seeing a sight like that. ![]() That's a total "Yep, my life's over." moment if I ever heard one. ![]() But still, I want everyone to imagine what it would be like to come home and see that thing standing in front of your house. Nasu: No one saw him strolling! (laughs) He materialised on the spot from his spirit form. Takeuchi: Can you imagine seeing a giant like Berserker strolling through a residential zone in a place like Miyama Town? The Shinto setting is a little better since it's near the church site, with almost no residential homes in the area. Rin's route, on the other hand, sees you encountering him in Shinto. (laughs) If you're playing Saber's route, you encounter Berserker on your way home from the church, on a hill in Miyama town. Most urban legends thrive on the notion that just about anything can happen in residential neighbourhoods at night. At any rate, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Takeuchi: Yeah, because Illya wasn't present in old "Fate". (laughs)That scene hasn't changed at all since old "Fate". Can you imagine heading home one night only to run into a giant, half-naked man standing in your path? You would barely have time to scream "pervert!" before getting crushed under his massive heel. Nasu: Shaping an event where the player encounters a powerful enemy in the middle of the night can be a bit difficult when the setting is a residential area.
