[Fate] *_(alter) -> *_alter aliases/renames

Posted under Tags

BUR #40346 is pending approval.

create alias artoria_pendragon_(lancer_alter)_(fate) -> artoria_pendragon_alter_(lancer)_(fate)
create alias artoria_pendragon_(lancer_alter)_(first_ascension)_(fate) -> artoria_pendragon_alter_(lancer)_(first_ascension)_(fate)

Throwing this one out here. Can't remember exactly why I didn't do it initially with the rest of these, but I'm guessing it had to do with my brain deciding her lancer-ness was as much a variant of her as her alter-ness. But logistically this probably makes more sense.

This case really sucks because to be technical alter_(lancer) feels kind of "wrong"; the character is not Artoria Alter as a Lancer like such a tagging would suggest... It's Artoria Lancer but altered. I love FGO I love FGO I love FGO I love FGO-
I'm kinda ambivalent about the change ultimately, but it feels kind of like a pointless change that makes things a little worse overall. Also I don't think the ones that ditch the lancer qualifier entirely are good changes, Artoria Lancer is quite distinct from regular Artoria visually so I feel costume tags that are Lancer costumes should reflect that, otherwise the tags become very ambiguous.
