But wasn't it already animated last season as short series by some Chinese studio?

In this case it sems to be Nasu's personal request.
It is really odd how his views changed as he planned to have a female MC in FSN initially (as seen by Fate/Prototype) and was only covinced to do overvise by Takeuchi (because male MC would have been a better self-insert for expected audience).
But in case of FGO and Extra fem MCs seem to be more popular (or is it only in the West?) and Nasu still insisted on using male ones in the anime.
