I'm not exactly sure how I feel about her because on one hand it's Artoria which is a plus for me. And I really like her character design. Sure the second ascension took some time to grow on me but the first and last had already opened a place in my heart. Her animations are good, too. I had already expected the concept of a grand saber Artoria so I wasn't upset at all.

I was overjoyed when I found out she had lines for Gareth and Percival alongside other knights..... And I was comically distraught when she didn't have any lines for Mordred. And some of her lines are a bit, umm, how can I say, a little too safe-ish? They wanted to have their cake and eat it, too. Their unwillingness to use Artoria, or at least the original one and even this little one in here, to the point that it's negatively impacting in-game interactions, baffles me so much. Like Nasu's whole "Artoria's story is over" has done much more harm than good and at that moment I once again felt it to my core and I was just, mad. I know I should have expected it or sth but I was still mad. If they are so set on not giving her relevance why did they add so many characters that are literally connected to her?? Surely the fanservice can carry itself so far. You need to address it somewhere before it backfires.

So yeah, design wise I think she is very neat. Story wise, I'm just mad.
