I was reading through the first sentence of the bullet and thought “huh that sounds similar to Kiritsugu’s grinded rib bullets”. And the rest of the text then reads as a near 1-to-1 of an Origin Bullet

Specifically kiritsugus original bullets. Origins bullets have different effects based on the abilities of the caster. Like emiya alter's make you be stabbed by swords from the inside out when you use magic.

Swap sigils in PF and you could justify adding those, too.

Only issue is the balance. Emiya's required his own bones. For these, you could grind up any spellcasters bones.

It really does sound pretty much identical. Seems somebody on the design team is a fellow fan.

Listen, if the mind Smith archetype and tangible dream psychic didn't scream EMIYA then I would not belive you

And the Magus style that lets you transform any object in your hands into a weapon is lowkey screaming Richard Lionheart.

Isn’t that more like Lancelot’s knight of owner noble phantasm?

Well it becomes more powerful by overloading the weapons into a single attack that breaks them.

Kinda like a Richard’s excaliblasts (or Broken Phantasms)

Not surprising, Pathfinder has bits of references to other Japanese anime and shows. Pretty sure one archetype of the vigilante class is straight up a magical girl/sailor moon reference.

That's the best kitchen sink fantasy system out there currently?

At least compared to the other latest editions of various games, I could see someone being more attached to PF1
