I think saberface trait is fairly logical. It's not only about resemblance of the art. (Although it's a significant part of it) All Artorias have this trait for obvious reasons. Mordred is basically a clone of Artoria born by Morgan. So she should be very similar in appearance to her "father". (And early arts of Mordred show her almost identical to Artoria) So it's still pretty logical. Jeanne is saberface because of Gilles. He couldn't distinguish Artoria from Jeanne in fate/zero. And while it could be said that it only was because of his madness, I think they are similar enough. Jeanne Alter is ... well... Jeanne. Her face is not just similar to Jeanne's. It's identical. And thus she also should be similar to Artoria. (And Jalter lily too, by the way. For the same reasons) Same with laksmibai. She was drawn as Jeanne with dark skin because of some book. ("Jeanne D'Arc of India" or smth). And if she is similar to Jeanne who is similar to Artoria, she also should be similar to Artoria. Thus saberface trait. Nero is indeed a saberface, but drawn by Wada Arco. See early Takeuchi's arts of Nero. She was basically Artoria in the red dress. So that's why she is a saberface. (Not to mention that her similarity to Artoria is a theme of constant jokes in games, ovas and etc.) So in conclusion saberface trait is not only because of art. It's also because of some lore, fate jokes and some old arts too.

To add to your point about Nero, it is revealed in TYPE-MOON Ace 8 that they designed her similar to Artoria in order to trick players into thinking they were the same character until Nero went “HAHA you fools it was I, Nero”.

I do not agree with "All Artorias are saberfaces" argument. Lancer/Lancer Alter/Ruler all look nothing like Saber. They were designed to look unrecognizeable. If you extend the saberface trait to them because they are the same person as Artoria, you kinda have to extend it to Arthur. If Lakshmibai gets the trait from being really a Jeanne-face that has very tangential relation to Jeanne, then you should also extend it to Bedivere, who looks very much like Saber, and it is deliberate, as he literally worships her. And if that famous "Waver in summer Okita swimsuit" edit is anything to go by, Waver should have it to.

The Rider and Saber classes both get Riding as inherent class skills, so generally anyone in those classes gets it unless specified otherwise (some of the ship-riding Servants get a ship-specific variant skill like Voyage or Voyager of the Storm. Also a small number of Sabers suffer penalties that deprive them of the Riding skill, like Musashi who has historical anecdotes of falling off of a horse's back in combat). Certain other Servants in other classes may have Riding for certain reasons (the Lancer Artorias fighting on horseback, Altera the Santa on sheepback, MHX riding a spaceship...).

Just commenting to emphasize that Riders and Sabers get Riding as a 'class' skill. It's not tied to their lore, but to the summoning system itself and how classes are represented, so no experience required. Servants in other classes (or even the same servant in a different class) can get Riding as a 'personal' skill, but not as a class skill. And sometimes personal skills may overwrite or alter class skills (like the pirates mentioned with Voyage/Voyager of the Storm). Of course, exceptions and broken rules dominate Fate lore, so... make of it what you will (one of the oddest, in my opinion, is Saber Alter's loss of Riding). It's also similar to how all Casters get Item Construction and Territory Creation, even if they weren't mages (exceptions may apply). >.>

Urobuchi was one of them, that's why Gilles even was in Zero in the forst place - Uro wanted to have cahracter that would mistake, in the story, Saber for Jeanne.

in regards to Saber face. I think whoever is the artist for it has that unique Art style in regards to making the eyes, eyebrows and face in general. Like a signature per se. Yes I know they have similar faces, but the art style the way they are drawn is really unique. (like ritsuka in the animation series is not a saber face but look at the way his eyes, eyebrows, face features are drawn in. The style of drawing is similar to saber faces in other anime series). Which answers the question why nero, jalter, okita are there. Just look at the art style of the eyes alone. I know nero got a more unique eyes. But she is definitely a saber face. Thats why even though some servants are not regarded as a "saber face" they are called saber face because the art style is very similar. Take for example The art style of Saber, kotomine, rin's father, kiritsugu, natalia kaminski, in Fate/Zero, Look at how there face and eyes are drawn/designed. Very unique "art" or look and very similar to ritsuka in the Babylonia anime series (same look as saber face too well the art style of the eyes and face), the Temple of Time Movie etc. In the other hand, the saber in the original FSN where People die when they are killed. The art there is a bit more off. I assume they are not the same artist? I might be wong. edit: also fionn is definitely not a sabe face. That peon can die in a gutter.

After all he does have Alter Ego class, which, normally, means that servant isn't exactly what he seems to be. Or, maybe, I'm wrong, and you were right with that assumption. Who knows.

Ah yes my favorite saberface Jason

Man, i can't believe that Klidge just straight up say that "Fr*nch" trait is weird. I'm so proud of him.

Carmilla doesn’t ride, she drives. Simple as.

One thing I always did wonder was why Suzuka had the Riding Trait. It never really worked with her kit of being a Crit Buster servant, and she already doesn't have a whole lot of IRL lore to base it off of. But then I realized the naming of her upgraded first skill, "Divine Power (JK) B+", and realized it might be a joke around JKs and compensated dating. Which *kinda* fits, because they say that's what she manifested around for her base form. It was either that or a shrine maiden.

Riding is still a standard class skill for Sabers, so Suzuka having the skill is not odd at all.

Honestly, Nasuverse is great universe as the man spent a lot of time explaining everything as much as he can. But just like everything else it is not perfect, which we excepted as long as mostly everything else makes sense so-so. As for Saberface trait, it is hard to see similarity becuse the art is not consistent over the media (see original Archueid and remake one). In that case they are probably going with "whatever Takeuchi says" as he is the main artistof the franchise.

Don't forget alignments. Chaotic Evil or Lawful Good, sure, but then you get some crazy stuff like Chaotic Madness or Chaotic Summer lol

I blame you gillas for mistaking Artoria for Jeanne for making this trait happen

"It's over master of Chaldea i have become forklift certified" - some future dog villain

I’m guessing that being “Immune to Pigify” has another stipulation, that being it only works on organic creatures and/or something human. Like take another look at the list, note a lot of mechanical servants that are obviously inhuman (Babbage, the Mecha-Elis, QSH is literally a chad version of AM, and the Sakura 5 are mechanical), also monstrous units such as Hogen and Meiren. As to why Taigong (I think that’s his name?), Romulus as a human, and Parvati are immune? No clue.

4:31 in the LB6 lore he actually ride blanca throug the entire Britain many times, so in his case this skill is very fitting.

Some of these immune to piggify chars reasoning could be related to "shape" or "shape shifters that already are something else"? Like Caenis(poseidon blessing already altered her and Ushi tengu teacher are already shape shifted into something else magically, which would stop it? Babbage reality marble must make him have the robo body as he his father of computers etc, Gu-chan can just go and reshape herself. The divinities could be similar, as they are usually here the big gods attributed to something more specific, like Quetz is the sun, Romulus is Roma, so they cant be changed bc they are strongly connected to a concept

Surfing skills replaces riding as an equivalent for Mordred

"The tagging has no bearing on the game itself" Mysterious Heroine X: angry Saber noises

The saberface is only used by MHX NP for some dmg boost (but it implied that there was a moment where she was actually good to play)

>featherless biped >French You cannot have both at the same time You cannot be human and French at the same time!

Babbage and the robots might be immune because of their metal outsides maybe? The robots because they aren’t organic, and babbage because he’s permanently sealed in his armor

If I remember correctly, Riding is automatically given to servants that Manifest in the Saber class.

one that really, really gets me is paris gets [argo related] because of Atlantis wile hector doesn't inspite of okianos and his 5 seconds in atlantis

If memory serves the child servant distinction applies mainly on illya’s perspective. If you are seen as a child by illya you are a “child” servant.

Hol up The mecha people and Babbage being immune to pigify makes sense, because there's not enough organic material to work with.

The thing that always bothered me about trait stuff is you really find it in the game itself which is dumb and literally have to look online if you ever want to check something.

Lakshimibai looks more like Altera than Artoria lol

Another odd one is animal characteristics from dark Koyan’s Slaughter beast troupe skill. It seems to just be a bunch of servants that featured in the lostbelts with a few exceptions and of course servants with bunny outfits. Barghest gets this trait when most of her dog traits are covered up as a servant, yet Baobhan sith’s secret deer hooves doesn’t count. Melusine also raises the question that dragons might count as a animal, if it’s just based on her name then there’s no reason Bao wouldn’t have it, and if it’s because dragons are animals then the entire Elizabeth crew and possibly even Artoria should count. Xiang Yu and Arjuna alter also don’t get this trait for some bizarre reason

Nero origibally was desinged to be a new gemeration of artoria and jeane was as a continuity joke because gil de rae keeps co fusing jeane and artoria

Lasengle giving Traits to servant is like Moon Knight doing his attack, RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!

Wait. How is Odysseus NOT immune to pigify? Thats literally in The Odyssey. Yes, its due to divine intervention, but so?

I think the "immune to Pig" trait is based on boss battle versions because Odysseus isn't on the list you shown.

With regards to the Riding trait: as I understand matters, Riding is actually a Class Skill for the Saber class, which is why so many members of the class have the Riding trait. The trait is supposed to represent possession of the Riding skill. (Every Servant of a given Class is supposed to have its Class Skills; that's why they're called Class Skills, as opposed to Personal skills, which are based on the individual Servant's legends. Of course FGO just uses the terms to represent active and passive skills, but that's not how they're supposed to work.)

The Riding Skill is usually applied to small vehicles and horses, while Summer Camilla and Mordred would make sense to have this skill (Camilla's NP is a car, Mordred has a surfboard), it can be argued that Teach and Anne & Mary do not have this skill because they are captains, but drake has this skill, so that doesn't make sense either.

4:48 apparently Meltryllis gives the exact same reason for having an A rank in Riding.

The pig thing could be going off shapeshifters and those not made of flesh

The reason Jeanne is considered a Saberface is because of Gilles mistaking Artoria for her in Fate Zero. They don't really look alike but he's fucking lost it in Caster form.

I wonder if there is a correlation to shapeshiifters and pig inmunity

As someone who just finished Yuga Kshetra with a fixed team, that Immune to Pigify one hurt me since Circe was on said team. So, it wasn't just my bad luck that no important enemies turned to pigs, it was also mechanics too? 😂

Mashu has Riding because Galahad was a Knight of the Round

Am I the only one who thinks that if you hide the hair behind the "crown" of jeanne you get a saber face ?

Saberface tag should be Takeuchiface, he's the one at fault for that plague, because that's the only face he can draw.

The saberface trait does have an impact because mhx deals more damage to then on her np

So the justification for much of the saber class having the riding trait is due to it being a class skill of Saber class, meaning that they all, under normal circumstances, have the riding skill of at least C or D. Also, the Riding Skill is more than handling mounts, it also grants the ability to steer vehicles, namely ships. Anne Bonny and Mary Read were always crew members of the ship they were on, never Captains, which means they didn't steer the ship likely, and they wouldn't have the Riding trait, or at least that's how I would justify it. EDIT: Also have to mention that Class Skills work the same way for most servants. Regardless of whether they had corresponding abilities in their life or legend, if the skill is Class Skill, if they are summoned in that class, under normal circumstances, they will have the skill, and abilities associated with it. No idea how to explain Blackbeard though, for all intents and purposes he should have the trait.

4:38 i can see Mash having that skill... Thanks to Ritsuka

The saberface trait is just ‘White Woman Spotted’

Yes, I’m aware of the Okita Alters and Lakshmi Bai

The “pigify” thing is only unable to affect things which lack worldly connection, sometimes by association, or were directly affected by gods. Pseudo servants are vessels for gods, thus overriding the human host’s intrinsic human trait. Some are pretty much gods, like Quetz or Romulus. Robots are excluded, explaining the Sakura 5 and mecha elis. Caenis had the Poseidon nonsense. Most of the alter egos contain very powerful divinities. This also explains the outer god foreigners. Unlike psuedo servants, the foreigners are simply conduits for outer gods power, rather than a vessel. Danzo is also not immune due to worldly connections. They were (historically) not a robot afaik.

Forklift certified lmao it’s gunna be just moriarty, emiya, Babbage and the Mechaellies those on account of being forklifts. Holmes uses too many substances too qualify.

Your magic resistance idea about being immune to being turned into a pig is interesting... but the fact that Astolfo isn't immune to it despite having a book that can completely nullify all magecraft would _only_ make sense if they actively decided he has a weakness to transmogrification that cancels it out since Alcina turned him into a myrtle tree that one time... _BUT_ that happened before Logistilla gave him the book; being charmed and polymorphed by Alcina is actually _the very reason she gave him the book_ in the first place! I have no idea what the hell kind of drugs FGO is doing and no, I would not like some.

Wasnt mordred made to be a clone of artoria and looks so much like her that she had to hide her face

I've always interpreted "Child Servant" as "Illya sees these characters as children like her". Which makes it funny to imagine that she legitimately thinks Anderson is just acting older then he is, like those kids who put on airs of maturity. Saberface is easy, if we/the characters in the series can be confused for Artoria, they're a Saberface. That means younger and older selves of Artoria, relatives of Artoria (Mordred is a Saberface considering she's a literal clone of Saber due to Morgan who is also a Saberface), Jeanne who Artoria was confused for and her clones (Lak and Jalter), Nero who was 100% looked like Saber during the first few appearances and changed artstyles when drawn by Wada Arco, a non-Takeuchi artist (a noticable trend for Saberfaces being drawn by Takeuchi), Okita who was also just kinda a joke about Saberfaces in general iirc and thus her clones are by extension. Fionn can't be confused as Artoria and nobody in the series or in the fanbase would even be able to be confused even if you squint hard enough. Immune to Pigify strike me as "Creatures that either are powerful enough to ignore it or don't have enough human to become pigs". That's why Babbage can't be piggified but Nezha can despite both being Mechanical, since one is a massive steampowered train calculator while is just artificially made.

I think the reasoning for Babbage and the Meka Eli's being immune to Pigify is because they're mechanical Also, weird how Odysseus DOESN'T have the trait, but has it as a passive that he is immune to pigify

You're not a child at 16 so I don't see why Artoria should be there, Helena is an adult while Hans has his form from when he was a child, Kiyohime is 12

Did Shin sneak in at the last minute and write the youtube description? And if not I'd like a video explaining that little tidbit.

So Gilgamesh could be turned into a pig on and also who was the first servant to have a double class
