User blog comment:12shzarmai/Why isn't there MORE Servants or Heroic Spirits from other continents APART from Asia and Europe???/@comment-124.120.200.215-20180630135912

Here's the reason: Name me 5 non-Egyptian African heroes. Name me 5 South American heroes. Name me 5 INDIGENOUS North American heroes. Name me 5 Oceanian heroes. Or heck, name me 10 NON Chinese or Japanese Asian heroes. And no, full divine beings do not count.

You may be able to name Maui, Hannibal Barca or Genghis Khan for those categories, but point is most non-European or non-Asian heroes just are not even in the lexicon of common knowledge to anyone outside their very own country. I mean why else do you think pop culture has way more depictions of Anastasia and Rasputin than they do someone like Peter or Catherine the Great or Rurik despite these 2 being far more vital to Russian history?

You may argue that heroes like Semiramis, Cainis or Eric Bloodaxe would also have been names that would have never otherwise entered into pop-culture if not thanks to TYPEMOON, but also look at how FGO chose to depict characters like Jack the Ripper, Astolfo or Attila and you will also get another very, very obvious answer: The fanbase just doesn't care. They don't care about historicity, they don't appreciate the efforts you put into research. You may add someone as obvious as George Washington or you may add someone as obscure as Janos Hunyadi and all the fandom would care are how much of a waifu/husbando they are.
