Fate/Extra CCC
Fate/Extra CCC
Overview
Fate/Extra CCC is a companion game to Fate/Extra developed by Type-Moon and Image Epoch and published by Marvelous Entertainment. The game was released in Japan in March 2013. It has received two manga adaptations that are currently still being serialized by Kadokawa Shoten.
Plot
The story of Fate/Extra CCC is a retelling of the events of Fate/Extra from the perspective of Caster, Tamamo no Mae. The game is set on the Far Side of the Moon Cell where Masters and Servants from the Near Side have been gathered by BB after she used her abilities to create the Sakura Labyrinth.
Development
Fate/Extra CCC was originally announced in September 2011 and acts as the “Heaven’s Feel” route of Fate/Extra. The game was delayed several times and finally was released in Japan on March 28, 2013. The staff on Fate/Extra CCC remained unchanged from Fate/Extra and included Shuetsu Kadowaki directing and Kinoko Nasu writing the script, along with Arco Wada as character designer and artist, Huke as weapon designer, and Takashi Takeuchi as character design supervisor. Shaft created the game’s opening movie. The game’s opening theme song is "Sakura Meikyuu" by Kanon Wakeshima, and the ending theme song is “Blossom” by Sakura Tange.
A special limited edition of the game titled “Fate/Extra CCC Type-Moon Virgin White Box” was released alongside the regular edition. The special edition features a collector’s box with artwork by Takashi Takeuchi along with a figma figure of Saber Bride, a Visual Works art book, and a limited character song CD sung by Sakura Tange.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Fate/Extra CCC is largely unchanged from Fate/Extra but does include several changes such as an increased number of battle animations for attacks and Noble Phantasms, more voice acting, and more. The game has three possible endings based on the player’s choices throughout the game: The CCC or “true” ending, the Servant ending, and the normal ending. The CCC ending can be obtained by doing special actions and choosing the correct responses throughout the game, and the Servant ending can be obtained by unlocking all three of the starting Servant’s Secret Gardens.
