Upgraded Servant skills
Any opinions on this change for upgraded FGO skills? Current format looks kind of ugly, but I figure having some way to signify upgraded skills is probably needed with the frequency they've been adding them. Any suggestions? Doesn't seem possible to replicate the [Original skill] --> [Upgraded skill format] with the current setup at least. EGGS (talk) 12:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- This actually ties into something else I've been thinking about. Some upgraded skills are based on other skills that are detailed in materials or other works (e.g. Angra Mainyu's "Annihilation Wish" and "The End of the Four Nights"), so going with a format like this, I think it'd be best if we keep the FGO skills down to what appears in-game. The big one I'm thinking of is Achilles, which I brought up on his talk page: his in-game skills are his NPs, but in the materials, his skills are as they are listed in Apocrypha.
- So, to reiterate/reword it more simply: if we go with this proposed format, we should keep the FGO servants' skills and NPs as they appear in-game, and use the Abilities sections in the actual articles for the extra/"proper" info as they appear in the material books. -- Banksia (talk) 11:16, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Edit: worth noting, as I'm slowly going through the material books, that not all profiles are like Achilles', as Mordred and Astolfo's still have Secret of Pedigree and Trap of Argalia under their Skills but the descriptions do start with "they are actually NPs". -- Banksia (talk) 14:45, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, the translation from game mechanics to lore mechanics haven't really been the smoothest, especially with Class Skills just being the designation for passive skills. Should the context of Achilles in particular be difficult to understand, we could include all six skills and include a note reference for the three in-game skills just to explain it like this. Or something similar. EGGS (talk) 15:06, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- I find note references kind of clunky (I think some of them don't work on some of the Tsukihime articles at the moment) but maybe this is all we can do right now. Banksia (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Some of the existing ones are the old pop up notes that no longer function under UCP and need to be replaced, while the newer ones are just a style of secondary reference. I'll pop this in the Achilles pages for now, but can always replace it with something else later. EGGS (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

- Could you make a switch "Before"/"After" on top of upgraded skills?Mgwand (talk)
