- Americans Hate Tingle: While Arcade has its own share of detractors in Japan due to its Player Versus Player nature and Character Tiers, mobile players outside Japan absolutely loathe it for “stealing” long-demanded characters such as Sita and Tiamat, as well as having a story so barebones that it would make Septem and Agartha masterpieces in comparison. The “Onore Arcade!” meme is not helping its infamy overseas either. The hatred also spreads to its exclusive Servants, with Saber Jacques de Molay (usually as an inverse of the Base-Breaking Character treatment that Foreigner Molay get), all forms of Beast VI/S, and Noah being the most notable targets. Finally, since the game was only ever released in Japan, it meant nobody could play it unless they visited Japan, which made it feel worse when new characters did come out.
- Fandom Rivalry: FGO Mobile fans vs. FGO Arcade fans. Fans of the mobile version are incensed that what they previously saw as just a harmless alternate version of the game has been given highly-desireable exclusive content ranging from popular costumes, Servants, and even story content that might even tie back to mobile's story. This is especially prominent in the West, where the general phasing out of arcades means that there is no NA release of Arcade, and thus no way for them to access the content even if they wanted to. Fans of Arcade tend to point out how their game needs ways to incentivize people to play, especially since it is far behind the mobile game in terms of story and character content by nature of being newer.
- Player Punch: This Arcade version is more focused on a high-fidelity action gameplay experience than the mobile version, and in fact initially doesn't have a story, only using basic text summaries to provide some context for battles until the end of Singularity 5. From this point on, however, the story diverges from the mobile version and has full-blown Visual Novel segments like mobile.
