one of my favorite parts of FS/N is everyone pretending theres a way the Grail War is supposed to go when theres been only 4 total and: the first one was a weird one by virtue of being the first and a weird ritual. the third was so weird it broke the whole thing. and the fourth is so totally composed of only exceptions that Rin is the real weirdo for being a Regular Ass Magus.
YEAH, it rules that the game opens up with exposition explaining How A Standard Grail War Works, and it's either someone actively lying to you (Kotomine) or someone confidently telling you something wrong because they were ALSO lied to (Rin). It's SUCH a fun move to open with boilerplate exposition, then spend three routes slowly revealing how all that exposition comes from malicious or unconsciously biased sources, rather than being Objective Truths straight from Nasu's brain
