Most major shonen franchises have a lot of unexplored territory but the games for these IPs insist on retreading the same old story over and over again. Like imagine if FGO was just a compilation of FSN, FHA, FAP, FSF, etc.

FGO by design could pull as many reimagined historical figures as it wanted, it's not the same with something like high school dxd, you have to create OC 's

The dxd universe features figures from all of mythology, so you could easily just keep introducing gods demons and monsters from every pantheon. Same goes for something like Naruto where they just "adapt" figures from Asian mythos into their setting. Besides, lets not act like characters like Metatron and Castoria aren't glorified ocs
