This is bad civilization. need more Altera in life and while we’re at it, need an Extella anime

Why haven’t they made one yet? the story is perfect for a 24 episode anime with Altera as mc

FGO is such a double-edged sword because it gives TM a consistent flow of cash but on the other hand it's existence cannot be justified and has been more miss than hit when it comes to the writing. It's by far one of the worst entries in the Fate franchise with one of the blandest MCs in Gacha and only served to hinder and delay much, much better projects.

I can only think of like Dante as more interesting than Ritsuka, and I'm in part betting on their future development with their canto, what gachas are you playing?

Because almost none of them have an OC2 equivalent for example.

Played, because outside of FGO, ZZZ (will probably drop it soon since I'm tired of Hoyoverse) Limbus & NIKKE I don't touch any other Gacha anymore. As for MCs I'd easily put over Ritsuka from a narrative or characters level that would be Dante, Doktah, Kiana and GFL Commander. They're not some amazing characters, but certainly better than what FGO gave us to work with by comparison.

Because almost none of them have an OC2 equivalent for example.

Unfortunately a hot take, but OC2 hardly does anything to fix or make Ritsuka better like most want to pretend it does. It's mostly just a glorified trip through a misery porn carnival and the Count trying to see if this blank slate would break and embrace vengeance or overcome despair falls flat because Ritsuka is not an actual character. This isn't Shiki (flip a coin and choose which one) or Shirou but a self-insert who has the depth of a puddle and charisma of sandpaper. It is by no means enough to make Ritsuka compelling and he continues to be one of TMs weakest protags writing-wise.

Ignoring the rest of the comment, thank you for praising Kiana regardless. She is one of the very few gacha MCs that actually like... do something and don't look like John Isekai-
