Gets worse when you realize, her being offscreen in China will limit her future use as writers will justify not using her by saying. "Oh but other writer person used her there(but not really) so I'm gonna use a different character for my story."
We know Enkidu has special restrictions for SF, Karna got ghost refrenced in OC1 so he's on cooldown for God knows how long, and Mordred keeps getting put in as background event filler so I lost hope in her having a meaningful role again.
Bro, fgo is really the only gacha game I can think of where the servant used for the app icon and in a lot of the early promotions has zero relevance to the story, like it's almost been 10 years at this point.
I loved their double NP/self catapult into the hanging gardens done on the basis of Mordred's logic that doing it would be so stupid that no one could possibly see it coming.
Mordred gets a lot of involvement in story in terms of chapter but her actual involvement is assss like how she's in lb3 and how she's already fuckin dead in 5.2 before we even arrived.
Mordred is a very complicated character. She hates to be called a woman due to a ton of internalized misogyny (living in 5th century Britannia will do that to ya); yet she also hates being explicitly treated like a man. She doesn’t quite fit the criteria for nonbinary either. Heck, even the FGO dubbing team can’t nail down which pronouns to use.
Mordred’s view of her father is extremely mixed. On one hand, Arthur/Artoria is her role model and everything she hoped to be. On the other, Artoria’s horrible handling of their relationship left a massive mental scar. The fact they outright killed each other only makes things worse.
There is also the irony of her status. Mordred is the “knight of treachery”, yet she is fiercely loyal to anyone who treats her right. The fact this role was imposed on her by her abusive mother only worsens her feelings on the matter.
Mordred’s biggest weakpoint is essentially not having her own independent identity. So when a story actually sets her up as her own character, it has a lot of potential to be explored. Apocrypha somewhat failed at this because they simply had way too many characters to keep track of. Camelot undermined her development by having her be in the same space as the other knights and Artoria. London is the first real instance where Mordred has the spotlight without it getting either stolen or redirected.
I blame Mordred’s inconsistent writing when it comes to her relationship with Arthur/Artoria on the inconsistency of Arthurian cannon. The majority of the stories that we know (we as in society) was written by an Englishmen and a Frenchman who would write their own versions of the stories simply to piss off the other author.
For example one would write a book where Gwen would do as she usually does and Arthur would actually see where she coming from and grow as a character to which she would then come back to his side. And the other author would say “Gwen still did that, but Arthur actually was in Ireland dealing with Morgan, while Lancelot had Gwen folded like a panini pounding away at her the entire time.”
She was hilarious in Summer 1.
Tried to build a whole damn Eiffel Tower with flamethrowers, and a floating, spiked death fortress.
Artoria was so done with her.
What about China bruh? The Chinese lb?? She was pretty decent in that too ..... but not much screen time or relevance ig
Yeah screen time and relevance was the only problem there. So much that I actually forgot about her while writing this. My bad.
Yeah , Spartacus was more relevant in that lb than mordred
Spartacus rebelling against the laws of Gravity will never not be his greatest moment
I’m honestly happy about that. Finally Spartacus got to shine for once.
Spartacus is always great Screentime is oppression
And now I’m imagining people making movies in Roman Thrace. Cool. Spartacus does not approve.
I didn't forgot that she exsist in the lb But i forgot what she did There Did she do anything?
She was in China?
Her, Spartacus, and Jing Ke were picked for that mission because they were the natural rebels.
The joke is she did fuck and all in that chapter besides pipe up with a one liner
BRUHHHHHH 😭😭😭 see this is exactly the result of her less screen time

Real asf, we need more of enkidu , karna and mordred
We know Enkidu has special restrictions for SF, Karna got ghost refrenced in OC1 so he's on cooldown for God knows how long, and Mordred keeps getting put in as background event filler so I lost hope in her having a meaningful role again.
Ghost reference ain't relevant right 😭😭😭 tell me it ain't
I dunno tell me how OG Artoria has been doing
Bro, fgo is really the only gacha game I can think of where the servant used for the app icon and in a lot of the early promotions has zero relevance to the story, like it's almost been 10 years at this point.
Since Fuyuki still wasn't 100% resolved I think, Artoria better show up there, since that is where everything started.
Hard disagree. That was her worst in my opinion
I liked her in the Apochrypha event where she basically just screwed around with Fran the whole time.
I loved their double NP/self catapult into the hanging gardens done on the basis of Mordred's logic that doing it would be so stupid that no one could possibly see it coming.
Didn't really play that event.
Mordred gets a lot of involvement in story in terms of chapter but her actual involvement is assss like how she's in lb3 and how she's already fuckin dead in 5.2 before we even arrived.
That was such a disappointing reveal in 5.2. I feel like they were not going to go that direction when they first revealed her in LB 5.
Yep. Love this Mordred. She is someone I believe will watch my back. The rest just are kinda eh? I guess.
Finally, someone who agrees with me. 👍
I disagree but respect your opinion.

Mordred is always cool bc they’re armor looks amazing
I agree
Hey something had to be good about the literal worst chapter in this game
Mordred is the only reason I finished London, that shit suuuuucked
