She doesn& #39;t get enough credit because she& #39;s potrayed inaccurately from her other Type Moon/Fate related counterparts especially in F/SN. Going from F/SN to F/Z is such an off putting shift in an overall story because of such inconsistence in the story. https://twitter.com/Yung_Fetus/status/1303256760514301952">https://twitter.com/Yung_Fetu...
Saber would be fine and great character in a stand alone series, however she isn& #39;t. She& #39;s in a Sequel series towards a more ruthless and less honorable Saber from F/SN. The two Sabers are both potrayed differently, but F/SN& #39;s Saber is the original potray of the overall character.
Dislike of F/Z character comes from how the series is originally intended to be experience which is F/SN(all 3 routes) then F/Z, when done like this you& #39;ll start to see the inconsistences in her character and her actions at times within F/Z(The boring and passive parts).
The Banquet of Kings further proves this by having Saber listen to the words of Iskander which she herself would have never attended such a banquet in the first place nor let his words get to him. F/Z(anime atleast) doesn& #39;t go into the core reasonings behind Saber& #39;s Wish.
