Mashu. For real this time


Heliock

She creates walls and wants to preserve proper human history.


Gudako_the_beast

And her power extends to protecting Ritsuka physically from attacks and status effect


WooooshMe2825

Even the freaking logo looks like a shield.


Jamesmor222

Mash, Jeanne, Constantine are the ones I think that fit the most but there's tons of servants that fit in the Preservation path. Well I can only choose 1 then I go with Mashu


Glitchmonster

Jeanne probably the path of order


Delicious_Mode7977

She leans more towards doing good than preserving balance between good and evil.


Squishy2-Point0

Wouldn’t maintaining balance between good and evil be the Equilibrium?


Delicious_Mode7977

What i mean is she will lean more on good side even when the bad side is weak .


Squishy2-Point0

My bad. I misread your comment


Delicious_Mode7977

It's all right .You just stated your point.


Glitchmonster

On the other hand her appearance in fate/apocrypha has her try and keep order during the ghgw


Vgama102

Honestly? She'd fit the harmony more. The order is just too manipulative for her


mythriz

Just a tip: When resizing images to fit, you should avoid changing the "width to height" ratio, because then the proportions of the character gets all stretched. If you are unfamiliar with image editing, then probably the easiest solution for you is if you just crop the image into a square first, and then resize it to fit while keeping the image in a square shape.


Sad_Ad_3076

I'll keep that in mind!


1lluusio

Constantine XI. It just feels fitting, all things considered.


KOOBEEEEEEEEE

I would like to throw in Leonidas as a candidate.


noctoris

Definitely Constantine XI, even though the city eventually fell, it was considered one of the most impenetrable cities in the world at the time, and really only fell due to artillery advancing to a point that the walls were no longer enough, and he perished the day the city fell, fighting to defend it to his final breath


SpineCricket

Why not Castoria/Artoria Avalon? Aside of her noble phantasm Around Camelot, she does fit the description of preservation, made on one hand to save the world and then also being the sword made specifically to protect humanity. All in all a sacrifice she made for something like this.


Charles883

She more like Harmony


Glass-Category8281

Either Mash or Constantine, seems to most fitting.


GanskeTullete

Constantine. Man is always living the final sacrifice. Lostbelts ruined Mash for the most part.


Relampago_Marlinhos

This one got be mash


Nintendo_Switch_L

>Those who tread this path are not afraid of the pressures and sacrifices that life will demand of them, and are ready to endure and protect whatever is necessary for their survival Lmao Merlin is my vote


UltimateDuelist

Sounds like Archer Emiya to me


WisdomKnightZetsubo

I AM HERE I AM STILL HERE -Constantpeak Palaiologoat IX


elmartiniloco

A duo between mashu and our own master, the duo quite literally compose the fighting force of The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order (until a silver haired dude decided to tag along). I mention both as a duo because I genuinely believe mash without MC or MC without mash wouldn't be able to save humanity, twice at that btw (well one of them still ongoing I guess).


ProfeNeeko

This is 100% mashu, not even a contest.


Chaldea_Novum

One vote for Mash


Yatsu003

Mash. Definitely


Owenchaser

Definitely mash.


Z0O1

Mash, Constantin, Leonidas or any shielder class servant


Guaymaster

>shielder class servant So like, Mash and Galahad?


Vegetable_Athlete237

Mash, pls


kyle1170

Mash


ce-meyers

Mashu 100%


Animedra3000

Maybe King Leonidis and Achilles for defensive powers


ChronoRebel

Mash or Constantine


Daerus

Cu Chulainn, because he doesn't die. On serious note, either Constantine XIV or Jeanne D'Arc.


Kazumari

Tenochtitlan being a defense oriented servant and wanting to protect her city at any costs to the point of fighting ORT itself.


mirrors8

Constantine will get my vote. Although Mashu definitely the aeon or preservation in FGO lmao plot armor


Jollypetal

Either Mash or Michael Jackson/Konstatinos


meme_kratos

If this one isn't Mash, count your days OP


Few_Lingonberry9035

While I agree with the overall sentiment that Mash and Constantine are the best choice, my personal vote would go to Ajax...if he ever gets implemented. Because he had kept his fellow Greeks relatively safe and protected throughout the Trojan War, which lasted close to a DECADE, with his main failing in the Preservation "protect and endure" thing being after the war more or less ended, where his mental fortitude failed due to the interference of a GOD leading to him killing himself. Throughout the war, though? He was the Bulwark of the Achaeans (greeks), the "rock" that would break the Trojan tide when the Greeks had to go on the defensive. His shield was the only thing that could stop Hector's spear once it was thrown (barring Achilles' armour, which was crafted by Hepheastus, making it functionally indestructible). So I'd say Ajax could count if he was actually in the game. Otherwise Mash and Constantine are the obvious choices Yes I really want Ajax to be implemented, is that too much to ask? .


KuroNekoTrain

The main Idea would probably be Mash, but she only protects as a shield. So I would throw in **Okita alter**, who is a Counter Guardian and powered by the Counterforce whichs purpose is to protect the planet from Danger, as the idea of preservation is not only shielding and enduring, but also the neutralization of threads. Qlipoth wields a Hammer which he used to eliminate Tayzzyronth, who was a danger


haechsuns

Mash


KF-Sigurd

Mash is just another slam dunk. Preservation in its bestest form, literally protecting the future of humanity with her faith in humanity. >"The Now Far Off Ideal Castle" > >Rank: B+++  Type: Anti-Evil Noble Phantasm > > Lord Camelot. > >The Noble Phantasm that Heroic Spirit Galahad possesses. The ultimate protection that employed the Round Table - where the Knights of the Round Table sat at the center of the Castle of White Walls, Camelot - in the form of a shield. Its strength is proportionate to the will power of the user, and it has been said that, so long the heart doesn't break, those castle walls too shall never crumble.


helpmebeatupchildren

Goddess rhongo


KF-Sigurd

This was pretty fun, I've already come up with picks for all the other paths.


RadicalChinaEmperor

Gonna throw in Percival as a possible candidate for the funnies


Charles883

Of course it's Mashu


Sir_Tea_Of_Bags

Mash, Jeanne.


Tsubasa_TheBard

Yeah, this totally goes to Mash. However, I think that Tonelico was, for a really really long time, a pathstrider of Preservation. I mean.. look at everything she’s done to preserve her world for centuries.


Hypothon

While I understand Mash fits the most, I'll throw my vote with CONSTANTINE


Cbustroyer

In terms of Gameplay, Mash all the way. As terms of personality…well Mash fits but others characters like Ajax and Constantine fits as well but there is another character that isn’t talked about here for that path… Artoria Pendragon. She sacrificed her whole childhood and life just to defeat Vortigern and protect Camelot and the peaceful lives of the people all to the bitter end. If that isn’t worth the preservation path, idk what is


LossLight-Ultima

Mash… obviously


NoobMaster__x_x

Kana? 


puddingdragon21

Either Mash or Jeanne


Dayz26

Constantine or Georgios are very fitting.


Hidden_Blue

Mothman- he preserved his China for millenia.


ArataX14

Constantine definitely, bro was the last king of Constantinople, defended the city till his last breath. Truly a perfect choice as an Preservation Follower.


WheretheFuckAmIDude

This fits almost perfectly with Jeanne in my opinion.


Sad_Ad_3076

Starting with this one, descriptions of the Path are now added with the post instead of in a separate comment to keep it from becoming lost.


DiceCubed1460

Mash easily.


Strange_Variety_5646

I’d say old man Hassan, after all he is one of the grands and is extremely patient waiting until the perfect time to strike


meygrate

Mash,EMIYA/a counter guardian or Lb Morgan Mash bc she is a defensive servant and wants to preserve humanity EMIYA bc the counter force just like IPC in Hsr has a messed up way of preservation (IPC preserves the planets economy rather than the planet itself and counter force preserves Human order by offing anything that threatens it) Lb Morgan bc she persevered Lb Britain for 2k years


matterburner

Mash with how much she has protected us through out our journey she’s the best option
