I've been waiting for this confirmation. That Merlin 'perserved her mindset' and crossed a threshold she never should have.
Merlin's story is over, as is the story of Camelot.
The knights are dead. The castle is ruined. The Britain they worked for is gone. Everyone should have accepted it. Her counterpart accepted it.
And yet, here ProtoMerlin stands, refusing to accept it. Sending Arthur out for one last quest. Waiting for that promised deus ex machina. That in Britain's great hour of need, Arthur and Camelot and those dreamlike days will return.
And when Draco, her opposite and enemy calls her on it, she actually drops her smile, but has no retort.
Because this is the one thing she can't make light of.

things i've gathered from twitter so far given by the nasu and takeuchi interview:
most of this was taken by @GutsACS on twitter (so big credit to them)
they used machine translation so there may be inaccuracies
read under the cut for infos on the main story, new summer event and game development
main story infos
koyanskaya ended up the most impactful servant to takeuchi, originally she was meant to be only one character but they wound up splitting her into light and dark
they said they cannot comment on warrior monk and johanna appearing again in the interview — NPCs do have a place in the story as characters but not everyone can be implemented is what they say, but they do want to respond to people's feelings for these characters
WADARCO considers koyan of dark her "ultimate" design
roland's game data was ready ever since his old NPC interlude cameo, they just didn't find the right time to implement him
young moriarty was originally not planned for traum, takeuchi said he wanted it and it happened
lb7 is "simpler" than lb6 but still very exciting and they want to surprise the players
nasu says lb7 is a lot like singularity 7 in its purpose and what it means for part 2
they've been working on what comes after lb7 since last year and takeuchi now has "finally settled on a timeline"
according to nasu lb7 will not answer all mysteries of arc 2,but with it you'll be more likely to finally grasp the outline and start to see the solution
nasu said he cannot say what comes after lb7 yet (so no answer wether there'll be a lb7.5)
however he asks players to remember that back at lb5 he said "finally one third is over" and "this is not the half of it" and then smiles at the interviewer?
according to nasu there's two different options for fgo after the lostbelt arc ends: 1. chaldea's storyline continues from part 2 or 2. chaldea's story ends in part 2 and a new story begins
he personally wants option 1, but it depends on the player base
summer event infos
3 SSRs are planned for this summer event
the theme is an amisement park in the arctic circle
nasu thinks some servants will be expected this year, but some will be unexpected
nasu says the theme is a resort with no extra subtheme (so no ServaFes kinda thing)
in regards to protomerlin, he calls the merlins an exchange (he let arcade use her for their story, but thinks now it is time to get to use her in the mobage
takeuchi says there is no significant narrative force with her showing up in this event in regards to the later story
nasu is already stressing about the themes for the next two summer events
Game infos
takeuchi and nasu mention that the switch to lasengle has allowed them to finally start fixing lrg development issues they've faced since the beginning
they started working on changes during lb6
according to them the changes are still recent so you might not see the impact just yet but it will become evident over time
nasu mentioned something about these improvements for fgo to be able to continue for a long time
takeuchi says that if they didnt do it they wouldn't be able to continue fgo to the end
takeuchi wanted append skills at the start of the lostbelt but the development environment made it so it was impossible to do so by then
nasu was worried they might ruin the game balance in the adjustments,but it wad unanimous the game was outdated and in a rut, so they needed to make changes and we'll see that continue to take shape
they felt grail casting was nevessary 'cause supply isn't keeping up with demand denandas servants & therefore peoples' faves increwse in number
nasu wanted casting so it would feel like you made something rather than received it
for the super recollection quests, they are working on making cernunnos as a boss more balanced
they want to implement koyanskaya's lostbelt outfits (lb1, 3, 4 & 6)
kanpu wants to make party formation easier
the next grailfront will take longer to complete than previous ones

Time to make final bets on anni servants
- I think it would actually be a little disappointing to have Rasputin since we know he’s coming eventually so not much surprise factor there
- ProtoMerlin is a good guess but considering that Anni and Summer are back to back + revealing Summer ProtoMerlin before actual ProtoMerlin seems like… a off marketing decision
- I want Galahad the most so some bias here but it is likely considering the shield motif of this year’s anni and how we’re rolling into the finale + Mash’s self growth in lb6
- a good other bet would be Tiamat, but theres also Arcade’s exclusivity marketing tactic to think about
- Goetia lol.
- Arcureid hype has been rising these past few days so thats a contender i didnt see coming and I dont know how to feel about that
- SOLOMON

How Pretender Class apparently works
Vortigern: So I'm the only member of this super edgy new class. Those who have given false representation, deceiving and misleading others to do great deeds. Not a fake or counterfeit, but someone who deceives even the soul until more power and greater achievements than the real thing remain—
ProtoMerlin: ...
ProtoMerlin: ...
ProtoMerlin: I'm Lady Avalon. Otherwise known as "Not-Merlin". I'm totally and completely Not-Merlin from this world. I'm not actually going to disguise myself or anything. This class is almost as easy to qualify for as Grand Caster.
