That only partially answers the question, though. If it's enough to say that Caladbolg trumps other Noble Phantasms in power and rank, then why simply doesn't: (spoilers for mid-to-late UBW)

On the one hand, you just repeated my own words back to me.
On the other hand, you bring up a good point about Excalibur, something I had overlooked. So

Well..just finished the Fate line of Fate / Stay Night in 21 hours total, getting the TrueEnd, which seems to imply there's either 2 more endings to the Fate line or it means Unlimited and Heaven's Feel.

Oh man, if you're in tears now ...!
The true ending is the best ending. There's the true ending, the good ending, and numerous bad endings. You have to achieve the true ending to unlock the next route, so congratulations!

New Update Is Going To Kill Emulators for F/GO
I am super sad about this but if you've ever thought about playing you better get a halfway decent phone. *spreads sadness and despair at having to be separated from my daughter*

Why didn't you people tell me about this?
It's too bad that stupid music was in the background. I wonder if anyone could rip that out. Naaaaameeeeeeek.

Fate / Grand Order is being animated!
From what I can tell, it seems like we're getting the First Order, which is Fuyuki F, in this season. This means that we are going to see Caster Cu! ^.^ Otherwise, it seems like the animation studio is pretty new and so people are wary because of that. The main protag's name is Ritsuka Fujimaru...which makes me wonder if he's part of the Fujimaru clan or not.

This is why I can't stand and don't get involved with most of the FSN spin-off material. How fucking stupid is it to reason that in 2004 we've got this entire society of magi who do awesome shit that normal people can only dream of ... and that by 2015 all of those people and all of their powers are no longer relevant because YAY TECHNOLOGY! Oh please. As if technology in 2015 -- the 2015 that we know, that we lived through -- is anywhere near capable of the same feats as those depicted in FSN or Fate/Zero. This is just stupid. Fuck this "Neo Tokyo" bullshit that always seems to crop up in Japanese games. Fuck this "we gotta go back to 2004! To Fuyuki City!" boring and uninspired crap, like everything has to go back to the time and place of FSN, like we're not allowed to ever explore anywhere else in the world. The only thing keeping me interested in this at this point is the undeniable hottie that is Scathach: You bet your ass this is otaku bait. Take away the hoihoi and what reason do I even have to be interested? It's not Heaven's Feel. It's not Mahoyo. It's not Tsukihime re-make. It's just some one-time animated special for a side game whose bullshit idea for a plot premise is, "In 2015, magic is no longer what it once was. In 2017, mankind perishes. GOTTA USE MAGIC TO GO BACK TO A TIME AND PLACE Y'ALL ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BY NOW! "

No literally the world is destroyed at that point by something that's stronger than magi from the Age of the Gods. And if this continues, its not just traveling back to Fuyuki (although this is not the Fuyuki Grail War that happened in F/Z or F/SN), its also traveling to all different points and places in human history.
F/GO has a really strong story and its pretty shitty to see someone instantly dismissing it because of the Prologue. Nasu has done a really good job of this. :/

Seemed highly unlikely that Nasu had an active hand in this, so I looked into it. Quoting for others: Quote:
Sounds like Nasu, though, was involved heavily with the project. Probably told the Apocrypha script writer what he could and couldn't do. So it's not as though this game doesn't have Nasu's stamp of approval. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DISMISS A GAME BASED OFF OF WHEN THE PROLOGUE IS ALL YOU HAVE SEEN!?

Nasu himself wrote many of the later chapters. If I remember correctly, he wrote London, America, Camelot, and the upcoming Babylon chapter, and from his blog, he sort of treats Grand Order like his baby. xd
And yeah I was probably a little knee-jerk there, so I apologize, but its not the entire story and even then, the Prologue does not really align with F/SN or F/Z at all. For example, the Servants are different and the events that take place are not at all the same. It's a reboot of the scrapped Fate / Apocrypha game, but outside of that it has virtually nothing to do with F/A's story. F/A had to do with the Greater Grail War in Romania, while F/GO is much more expansive than that. I don't want to spoil too much preemptively, but I'm pretty sure you know from Skype who the big baddie is. It would be really odd if the F/GO anime stopped here (its a multi-chapter work after all), and because it says "1st Order".

I actually don't know who the end-game boss of the story is. I could hazard guesses, but I've little confidence in any of them.
Spoiler: show Part of my frustration, also, is that Nasu is "wasting time" (read: getting filthy richer, tapping into that sweet, sweet mobile market) with more F/SN universe stuff when, not gonna lie, as much as I adore the F/SN universe I'd like to see him branch back out to other properties! Specifically ... Where is my Mahoyo Part II!? It's 2016. Mahoyo Part I came out in 2012. It still hasn't been fully translated into English. And there's still no update on whether Nasu has even begun work on Part II or not. Nasu keeps dragging his feet with the Tsukihime re-do, but if he would've released that by now I am sure we would've had much more vocal demand from the community that he continue his work on Mahoyo. Aozaki Aoko and Aozaki Touko backstory, yes please. You please the Tsukihime fandom with the one, you please the Kara no Kyoukai fandom with the other. And in mine and most fans' cases -- PORQUE NO LOS DOS!?

Perhaps because of the Grand Order special episode news, someone's gone and released all of the card art for Grand Order on E-Hentai. (Gallery link here.) Some choice samples:
(Spoilers for Fate/stay night paths, Fate/Grand Order, and even other Kinoku Nasu properties like Kara no Kyoukai are to be found within. Do not click unless you're prepared!) Spoiler: show

>Talon With all due respect, no e-hentai links please. Even if that one page is safe, that site has content on it easily not for all the many ages of people who use UPN. There are ads which make even skimming that page not completely safe either.
