Zero Saber is best Saber, but that makes Fate route Saber best by default since that's what canon and they're literally the same Saber.

Funny because Saber was insanely boring in her own route due to it being subject as the info dump route. Plus the story of the 3, Fate is the least interesting due to almost no background on any other servants, having no real assassin, etc.

Saber Nero is better by the way. She actually has an interesting personality.

Fate route Saber is just as "canon" as Unlimited Blade Works Saber. All 3 routes are canon, but with that logic, you could argue Heavens Feel is the canon route since Zero focuses heavily on Sakura and Zouken.

Also, they're similar in appearance but their personalities couldn't be any more different. Nero was inspired by Iskander, and thus, is better.

Nasu is a huge Saberfag and you get the true F/SN ending after completing all three routes which is the true ending to (you guessed it) Fate.

Fate Saber is the true canon route.

Ian stop, all routes are canon because the Nasuverse is a multiverse. Even the bad ends are canon. Takeuchi is the saberfag, not Nasu.

For the record, I think the whole "they're all canon" is lazy writing in any form of media.

It doesn't change anything about the writing if it's all canon.

Yeah I know, but I always thought it was such an easy cop out. Like in the new Mass Effect, I'd like to think the canon ending is destroy for a ton of reasons I won't list, but odds are in the sequel they won't mention it at all.

Same with Morrowind where there are so many branches, they're "all" canon, even though the universe in which our Elder Scrolls follows, there is only one canon, but they never specify which it is.

The won't mention it in Andromeda because the people who went to Andromeda left the Milky Way before the ending of ME3.

The reason for the "it's all canon" approach is that they want to focus on creating an interesting/entertaining experience first and a consistent universe wide narrative second. As long as the underlying mechanics and lore stay the same I don't have a problem with it. Unfortunately this approach also allows for endless spinoffs if a particular part of the universe becomes too popular which has lead to the stagnation of the "main" universe for type-moon. To Narita's credit though he seems to be trying to move things forward within the confines of this endless spinoff shit with Strange Fake.
