How Accurate is FGO's Oberon?

How well does Fate/Grand Order portray Oberon, the Faerie King from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"? How close is Oberon's in-game version to his literary and mythological counterpart? In this video we delve into his character design, in-game skills, and characterization in order to determine that, followed up by giving it a grade in terms of its accuracy to the source material. Was Oberon truly a selfish, whimsical, but ultimately good-natured Faerie King? And... was his "other half" truly the way it is depicted in Fate/Grand Order? Find out here!
