<p>fate zero is not a Prequel.
</p><p>私は以前にこれを説明しました
</p><p>even the title is {fake}, a form of future, which cannot be accomplished is {Fake}. To writer Narita Ryougo, it is just his own parallel world, created merely by his imaginations. As an example, the relationship between elkindu and gilgamesh: in both {fate/stay night} and {Fake}, their conclusion is the same, but the process has been slightly changed. Concerning the differences between all of {fate series stories}, F/Zero is {same kind of set-up/setting as {F/stay night}, but slightly off in a sense}. F/Apocrypa is {Same until it reaches a turning point then suddenly changes into a very different setting}. Lord el meloi ii case file is {Same world, but Sanda Makoto's spice caused changed in the setting and focused mostly on magic related stories} Finally {Strange Fake} is same setting, and same ending but, somehow turns out to be a different universe. - Fate/strange fake 1st release review
</p><p>Spinoff series has a slightly off settings and changes in their own universes from {Fate stay night}, so they have relatively high amount of freedom in the form of writing in each stories, but {Lord elmeloi ii case files} has the same universe as Fate/stay night, so Sanda is trying his best to not contradict the story line between the two. - from a part in type moon ace vol.10 Narita Ryougo Interview

<p>You're taking it far too literally. When Nasu calls something a "slightly shifted world parallel world", it's his way of saying "don't think about the inconsistencies too hard." Saying it's a prequel is correct and saying it's slightly different is correct. One doesn't make the other wrong.

<p>私は平行世界が間違っているか話しませんでした。 私が以前にここでこの設定について話した時、私は平行世界は全部Canonと言いました。以前にこれについて話した時、その内容を見ていなかったんですか? そしてこれはそのまま受け入れたわけではなく、そのまま事実です。 最初にLord elmeloi ii case filesから出る描写が平行ということを証明しているにもかかわらず、むしろあなたが今、真実を否定しています。 公式設定を否定しないでください。 そして遮断を解除してください。 私はうその情報を使用せず、むしろ事実を記しました。 </p>

<p>Mind if I barge in?
</p><p>I read the interview with Narita Ryouji included in TYPE-MOON ACE VOL.10 and yes, it does say that the El-Melloi Case Files are the only spinoff series that is in the exact same continuity with the original F/SN storyline.
</p><p>So I decided to skim through all the El-Melloi books again to see if there's any proof of that. And I found a part that may prove it. In vol.2 , it is mentioned that Kayneth's death in the 4th Grail War was inevitable due to the fact that MULTIPLE magus killers were hired in the war.
</p><p>This contradicts with the story in Fate/ Zero since there was only one magus killer(Kiritsugu) that participaed in the war.
</p><p>So basically, this does prove that the Fate/ Zero story is in fact a 'Alternate Prequel' in which some parts of the story is diffrent from the 4th Grail War from the original F/SN continuity.
</p>
<p>Yeah, Most of Japanese Typemoon core fandom already knew that the F/Z is not a prequel, but a spinoff. EGGS, you're too stubborn to accept official informations.
</p>
<p>I think it's kinda nitpicky to say the story explicitly written as a prequel isn't a prequel because later material by a later author (who isn't Nasu mind you) contradicts it. Of course, Nasu's usual wishy washy "everything is canon except when it isn't" approach to continuity doesn't help. One could argue that literally every non-FSN product (including F/ha) isn't in continuity with FSN (or each other) due to the fact that they all contradict each other in terms of plot and story in line with the El Melloi thing somewhere.
</p><p>(Side note: Seeing as Fate/Zero basically created the Waver/El Melloi II character, I find it ironic that his spinoff is being used as the thing to say Fate/Zero "isn't canon" to FSN.)
</p><p>The best way to probably note it and make everyone happy is to note that Fate/Zero was <i>written</i> as a prequel to FSN and leave it at that. No need to confuse readers with obtuse continuity juggling based on later developments.
</p>
<p>As I said, people are taking it way too literally. It's still treated as a direct prequel in both Grand Order and the UBW anime. There are also some irreconcilable differences that cannot be properly explained away. Both are correct statements. That kind of information should definitely be in the article, but it being in the lead will just confuse people. If you want to be truly literal, FSN cannot be in the same continuity as any of these new works now that Atram has been retconned into existence.

<p>Point taken. Why not just change it to 'It is written as a spinoff sequel' with no unnecessary extra explanations and leave it at that? That way It won't confuse newcomers and satisfy both parties.
