Oh, yeah I know. It was an attempt at a joke that this another saberface, but we already have 2 red saberfaces with the names Red Saber and Saber of Red.
Given that it coincides, why is it dumb?
I'm an anime only with Fate Stay Night, but I don't think many people go into Fate Stay Night not knowing who Saber is these days tbh.
The dumb bit is them revealing his true name right away while the related anime's pre-release episode, which they're intentionally syncing up with, is putting in some effort to hide it. I'd wager plenty of people have not read FsF, although maybe I'm mistaken there. Additionally, FGO has shown that they already have the capability of not revealing true names until the time is right before, so it's not like this would've needed some crazy new tech.
As for your last paragraph, I was talking about this FsF Saber, not OG Saber.
Oh, right, I read FsF as FSN. My bad. Yeah, I doubt many have read those. But they revealed his name in the 1st ep too though, right? Sure, at the end, but not sure I'd call that hiding.
Did they? All I remember him doing, and all I can find him doing, is:
In the credits he's also listed as "Seiba".
Oh you're right. I guess I read the subs wrong because I took it (and the excalibur usage) to mean that he was Arthur (I haven't played that FGO event, so I know nothing), but I guess he didn't say that at all indeed. So I guess I've been talking BS haha. I guess I don't know who he is after all.
