I believe it takes place some time after Ataraxia, but it's probably not particularly 'canon' in any sense. It still 'fits in' though, as I don't believe it shares any characters with other works.

Edited for mistakes made while under the influence: getting Apocrypha mixed in with Fake, what was I doing?

oh i see, so they were probably thinking of making it something like Fate/Apocrypha, like a semi-canon story (that's how i view it) but then gave up~ that would explain this is the least talked about part of the franchise, at least from the forums I've read XD thanks btw

Wrong ... As stated by type moon, It happen right after the "WHAT-IF" scenario of the 3rd holy grail war. Basically, a 4th grail war in a parallel universe. Same goes with Fate/ Apocrypha. Depending on how the 3rd Holy grail war occur, it will lead to either of the 3, FATE/ZERO, FATE/STRANGE FAKE, or FATE/ APOCRYPHA.

Incorrect. The 3rd to 4th war is 60 years. Strange Fake is said to take place 70 years after the 3rd war, which would place it close to the time of FSN which is 10 years after f/z (70 years after the 3rd war). It is stated that F/Z happens in that timeline. It is a what-if 3rd war, but in another country. But you are correct for F/A, because the 4th war was not possible in that timeline.

So its more like:
3rd --> F/Z --> FSN & F/SF
or; 3rd --> F/A

I'm glad I understood as I read, and seeing your comment reassures me that I did understand what I read jaja.
I have no authority to say this but, you sir, are correct.

But I'd make a tiny edit just to make it clearer. Since they say in F/SF that the 5th war was over, there's a Tohsaka in the Clock Tower, and there are rumors about some magus that can make unlimited copies, I'd say F/SF takes place after the Epilogue of FSN UBW (2 years after UBW). But I could be wrong in that detail.

  • Standard timeline: 3rd Holy Grail War --> 4th Holy Grail War (Fate/Zero) --> 5th Holy Grail War (Fate/Stay Night) --> Fake Holy Grail War (Fate/Strange Fake)
  • Alternate timeline: 3rd Holy Grail War --> 4th war, The Great Holy Grail War (Fate/Apocrypha)
