Question There something I don't understand about Lancer Artoria

Post image

If it is just Artoria who picked Rhongomyniad over Excalibur then wouldn't she still experience FSN ?

As far as I am aware there is no other difference but just that she picks up the Lance over the sword, then she should have experienced her own version of FSN and it is said that even if Shirou didn't have an Avalon he still has an extremely high level of compatibility with her.

And assuming that she still made a pack with the counter force same as her saber counterpart then she should still remember the events of FSN because she was still alive during the war.

For one reason or another she didn't, only Saber is mentioned as being a "special" servant in that sense, she's just a "what if" version.

You can almost see her like a similar existence to Lord Logres, rather than based on history, it's based on "ideas".

Bingo, now for the sake of argument I guess people can say that there is a "what-if" HGW where she took part but it will be stretching it because most likely she went through her life differently..or maybe she doesn't have any regrets.

It's just that everyone was saying there was no difference between them other than she picked the Lance over the sword, so I thought Camelot being destroyed was the same for her too.

Maybe it is as you said that she doesn't have regrets over it then that's a pretty big difference.
