Fate/Extra Glossary

This is the thing of supreme beauty that Gilgamesh exposes in the fifth chapter.

While writing the script I got excited about the prospect of including a cast-off (nude) scene in the game. One of the staff suggested, “For this scene let’s have Gil in his swimsuit, and then keep the camera directed up high so we only show bare skin in order to trick the players.”

But then another staffer piped up, “Huh? You need a nude shot of Gil right? We already have one done you know.” It made me feel like I was late to the party.

After that we discovered that some staff had randomly made some extra costumes for the female protagonist outside of work hours including a swimsuit version, gym uniform and even tights. Of course we happily put them all into the game. I want to give a big thanks to Kunimitsu-san from the 3D modeling team. Thanks to you, from the second week onwards in game the protagonist is undoubtedly qualified as a pervert.

Cuneiform tablet with incised drawing of constellations: the Lion (Leo) and the Dragon (Draco)

Uruk (Warka), Seleucid period, 2nd century BCE

Mesopotamian astral science and astrological divination saw major developments in the 6th century BCE with the canonization of the zodiacal signs. Instructions for how to draw constellations exist from as early the Neo-Assyrian period (8th-7th century BCE). From the era of Hellenistic Greek occupation of Babylonia comes this fragment of a tablet (another fragment depicting the tail of the dragon and the constellation Virgo is in the Louvre), an early piece of scientific illustration, with the constellation names labeled in cuneiform Akkadian.
