>ANN: How much control and input did you have over the characters who participated in the 4th Holy grail war? Did you sit down with Kinoko Nasu and discuss who would be added to the Nasuverse or were you given free reign to create any characters that were not previously established?

Gen Urobuchi: The process was that I drafted up a proposal for the new characters and the plot, and showed it to Nasu-san for his supervision. However, consequently, 90% of those proposals were accepted as they were already Nasu-san's ideas. As for character names, Hisau Maiya was only character name that I suggested. The other characters were all named by Nasu-san.

>In the Fate/stay night visual novel, Saber mentions that she only talked to Emiya Kiritsugu three times during the 4th Holy Grail War. Was it difficult writing a story in which the two main characters can only talk to each other directly 3 times?

In order to abide by the original story, the character Irisviel has been introduced. Saber only talks to Irisviel. Kiritsugu only talks to Irisviel, too. So, in the end, Irisviel plays the role of facilitating communication between these two, who do not talk to each other.

>How often did you feel you had change elements out the story in your head to fit in with the story of Fate/stay night? Were there any plot elements that had to be completely scrapped to stay within the overall time line? Did you feel you had retcon anything in Fate/stay night to fit into your story?

As a result of the discussions between Takeuchi-san (character design) and myself, Kirei Kotomine's height in Fate/stay night was revised for Fate/Zero. Also, we had to adjust the relationship between Saber and Kiritsugu, so as not to be too bad. We were afraid that if Saber excessively increases her distrust toward Kiritsugu, she would not easily open her heart to Shiro, who is Kiritsugu's adopted child.

This doesn't really make any sense, since her last memory of the 4th War was always going to be Kiritsugu backstabbing her so hard every Englishman on earth felt it.

No matter what, her perspective looks like this:

"YAMEROOOOOOOOoooohh hey, new Master, same name as the old Master."

She doesn't really start opening her heart to Shirou until he shakes her hand like a man and pledges to win the Cup for her, something Kiritsugu never did.

I really, really want an adaptation of the 3rd War following the Tohsaka member. IIRC the Tohsaka family was pretty weak until this dude managed a goddamn miracle, won the war (although he didn't get his wish) and fucked an Edelfelt. I want to see that!

It was held right before WW2 so you have Nazis, Commies and the IJA running around, and this is when Avenger gets summoned so it's a pivotal moment in the story. Risei Kotomine becomes the Supervisor, too.

>>156068181
The biggest problem I have with the TypeMoon universe is that Nasu decided he'd make the FSN VN based on the Fifth HGW.

Word of God says the first two wars were jokes that ended really quickly and wouldn't be entertaining. I can accept that. I'd be happy with just mentions of that.

But where Nasu fucked up was deciding that the Fifth war would have multiple, all equally canon routes, utterly gimping the prospect of sequels beyond expansions of each route, adding more routes, or utter continuity clusterfucks like H/A.

By making the Fifth HGW the VN with multiple routes, he limited how the universe can be used. From that point, only the preceding wars can be given singular canon narratives, although constrained by what is said in the Fifth HGW about them (this is not a bad thing, in the case of Zero it worked really well. But only because Urobutcher is good at writing when you give him clear plot points to include and adhere to).

So if you like the universe, too bad, the only decent work that can be produced in it without retcon is adaptations of the Fourth and Third HGW. Fate Zero was excellent, leagues better than FSN, because Nasu didn't write it and it had a single narrative.

If FSN had been something like, the 15th war, with the first war happening much earlier, this wouldn't be as big a problem. But Nasu utterly lacks the ability to plan for the long term.

I wouldn't even be this upset if other works could at least adhere to the same universe. I like that Tsukihime takes place in the same universe, but again he gimped the future use of any characters by using multiple routes. But then you've got KnK, which is excellently written in comparison, but no, it has to occur in a parallel universe that follows the same rules.

It's really not much better. Like if you go back many years, it was UBW is the greatest guis trust us, and then people realized it was garbage. Now we're here.

Fate/Zero is a pretty terrible way to get into the Fate series. It's fine to watch on its own if you have no interest in Fate because its story is surface-level and doesn't require one to understand anything about the Fate setting in order to enjoy it. It just skips around from character to character and focuses on the drama between the characters.

That's why as an introduction to Fate it's terrible. An introduction should give you a basic understanding of the setting and make it easier to jump into other parts of the franchise, but F/Z does neither of these because it's too wrapped up in its shallow character drama to participate meaningfully in Fate's worldbuilding. Almost everything important in F/Z that would help you understand the core concepts of Fate is just taken from F/SN and then skimmed over without really explaining it.

I would've wanted that either way because Akiha doesn't get any good endings where her and Shiki get to enjoy life together. I really want to see an offshoot sequel where Tohno has to take on the DAAs in order to stop the resurrection of the Dark Six.
Imagine how bad Akiha must have felt in the Kohaku route when she was getting NTRd by her maid

Not him, but when you admit to not having read the entirety of the source material, and then ask "what do people even like about this?", you probably aren't going to generate much productive discussion.

>>156069780
They literally spent the entire first episode having someone walk in a circle and explain it to you. The reason Zero is good is because it doesn't focus on that shit.

Quit implying that people all agreed on anything. /a/ is not one person. Have you considered that less people are talking about UBW because
1. Talking about it invites secondaries which decreases the quality of the discussion
2. People who watched UBW either felt satisfied with it so feel no need to talk about it or disliked it so they don't want to talk about it.
3. You're a faggot.
>>
>>156069887
It's not like reading 30 hours didn't give me a pretty good idea of what it is. Just because I didn't sit through another 20 of unlikable characters, badly written chuuni battles, long winded out of place cooking scenes, and out of place ero scenes with lots of seafood analogies doesn't mean I don't have a food picture. I don't have to eat an entire plate of shit to know that the second half is going to taste about the same as the first, with maybe a little more corn.

You really shouldn't try to talk about things you know nothing about, secondary. That first episode exposition is surface-level info dump you get in basically every Fate title, it doesn't explain anything about the setting or worldbuilding and in fact contains deliberate misinformation that F/Z does nothing to clear up. You act like it's good that F/Z doesn't dive into the worldbuilding but you're just confirming what I said: it's fine for secondaries who don't want to get into Fate, but as an introduction it's terrible because it does absolutely nothing to ease people into Fate's confusing mythos.

Depends on which ones you're referring to. Shirou vs Gil, Saber vs. Fake Assassin, all the battles in HF were good in my opinion. Also Saber+Archer vs Berserker in UBW was nice.
HF has a very different tone and atmosphere from the rest of the VN so please stop acting like you know what it is like when you haven't read it.

It's split into 3 separate stories, he read only the first one which is the most straight forward and exposition-heavy.

There is also a difference between saying "I didn't like something" and "It is badly written". The former is subjective and the latter is objective. If you try to speak objectively without offering facts and evidence, people are going to be hostile towards you. As they should.

>>156070315
No, I said it's straight forward and exposition-heavy. Which is beneficial to you as a new reader because it makes it easier to adapt to the twists that come later because you know how it should play out 'normally'. Also, each new route adds new layers of understanding to the previous ones. Because each route focuses on different aspects of the war and you interact with different people, it makes what happens in the other routes different in retrospect. Fate is very much the "surface level" version of the story, but there's still all that other stuff beneath the surface you're not seeing. After you play through UBW and HF, you are aware even as you stay on the placid surface of what is lurking beneath it, unseen.
>>
>>156070462

She didn't forget to "activate her instincts". The teacher fought in a way that instincts were useless because it was completely unconventional. Did you forget he was being buffed by Caster who had "Age of Gods" tier magic at her disposal? It seems like somehow Fate was 2deep4u and that your idiocy is the author's fault.

You haven't read shit. I'm not talking about exposition dumps at all, I'm talking about contributions to the worldbuilding and actually dealing with the concepts important to Fate's multiverse. Fate/Zero only barely touches on these things, it cuts out the story right as the curtain gets pulled back and you see the truth of the HGW and it doesn't bother to explain anything. If you had actually played the VN you'd know what I'm talking about when I mention things like Rin using the 2nd magic or the true purpose of the HGW, which feature heavily in F/SN but are not really dealt with at all in F/Z.

I really don't remember that, the different pictures were obtained by picking different choices that led to the same outcome and starting from the beginning a lot. You can keep replaying it after you get the true end to unlock the pictures.

After I got the true end, the only CG I was missing was the young Arc in the photo you find in Makihisa's room and if I recall correctly I got it by picking Arc related choices in the morning then helping Kohaku organize Makihisa's room. I never messed with my save files.

Dude, it was said again and again and again that human cannot possibly match servants and that even Kiritsugu or Kotomine at their prime couldn't best one, then just because the teacher has an unconventional martial art style neutralizes concepts like reaction time? That's bullshit writing. If servants are so quick, the teacher would have moved at a snail's pace from Saber's pov.

He was getting buffed by Caster to be able to keep up. Is that hard to understand for you? When someone who has an unconventional martial arts style and gets buffed by magic from the Age of Gods by a servant with excellent skill in magic, he is able to match a servant who has a master who can't give them enough mana.

This is why you shouldn't skim scenes. Servants are immune to mundane harm, normal weapons and human fists can't hurt them. Kuzuki was buffed by Caster so that he could actually hurt Saber, and his fighting technique was unique in that it defied the natural instincts of seasoned fighters. His movements are so bizarre and untraceable that for Saber her normal instincts about how a human should move would actually work against her. For the first fight, anyway, because after seeing how he moves she would have learned how to react. Which is why Kuzuki doesn't do so well the second time they fight.

Zero is a failed retelling of the happenings as described in the VN.

I say failed, because as we know from the Zero ending as well, Kiritsugu would be the absolute utilitarian. Him joining the HGW, he would sacrifice anything for result, for the absolute utilitarian ideal, saving everyone, meaning anyone would be sacrificed for that end. So when he does things like evacuating people before setting off a bomb, when he always kills people you are given a reason to hate, but never a single one you might find a reason to like, then I just think they went too soft on him to preserve the image of a hero.
"Yes, he killed. He did not think like you about not involving innocent people. He thoroughly attacked his enemy's weakness, allowing no chance to counterattack. He used the enemy's family as a shield and their friends as their shackles to win the war.""
Sure, one can try to explain it by saying Kirei's lying, but as we know by the end of Zero, that's how Kiritsugu's mind operated. It just seems like they tried to preserve likability of the character by never making him do things that would make you dislike him.

FATE - I thought this route served its role very well as an introductory piece, not just to the nasuverse (I had previously watched Kara no Kyoukai twice) but also to Shirou's mind and how disturbed he is. I grew an appreciation for Saber as a character, too. I always thought she was greatly overrated after watching the F/Z and UBW anime, so it was nice to get to the meat of her character in the VN. I don't think she's a fantastic character, but I think she's pretty decently written. I enjoyed a few action scenes more than I thought I would, most notably Archer Fate. Some moments left me in awe, like Gil's appearance at the Emiya household and the things hidden in the church basement. There were also some moments that kind of let me down, too. Shirou and Saber excaliblasting Berserker together was kinda corny (the whole fight was, even Rin's part) and the ending fight with Gil and Saber seemed very fairytail-ish. Overall, it wasn't a great route, IMO, but I think that's in large part due to its duty to introduce readers to the world whereas UBW and HFespecially get to capitalize upon the foundation built beforehand. It was hindered in that manner so I don't like to compare it to the other routes directly.

UBW - The first half of the route seemed a bit lackluster to me but the second half was very solid. The Shirou/Archer conflict is probably my favorite plot element of the VN. It's such a creatively clever and gripping way to illustrate the struggle between two idealistic individuals, what they represent, the resolve a person shows in their dream, and the strength of willpower and conviction. Their whole struggle is a metaphor and paints the way a person can advance themselves beyond whichever self is holding them back. It almost feels like a shounen powerup but that's not a bad thing at all. My feelings towards Shirou also improved from being slightly turned off by him to being pretty neutral. On the negative side, I wasn't a huge fan of the Caster conflict. It wasn't bad or uninteresting, just kind of meh. The ending is something that doesn't sit well with me now that I've read HF, but it was agreeable with me before that. As a whole, I thought this route did a good job expanding the boundaries set by Fate while staying consistent with the rules. There were some ambiguous plot points but they seem to have been cleared up by Nasu afterwards. I'd say it's my second favorite route and I've rewatched the anime after finishing up the route in the VN and enjoyed it as much as the first watch.

Fate had like 2 sex scenes, 3 if you include the rape.

HF - This was the route that really brought the experience home for me. I usually like stuff that's darker, grim, and laced with loss/pain so I have a natural affinity for stuff like this. There was a wide array of emotions that stirred within me and that ultimately led it to being the most impactful route for me. I felt actual anger at Zouken and Shinji, which is something that few pieces of fiction can make claim to. I felt for the characters, notably Shirou and Sakura, for their struggle, the pain they endured, and the losses they incurred. I actually cried once while reading the route, which is extremely rare for me. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've cried in my life while consuming fiction. It hurt so good. This route also sold me on Shirou as one of my favorite characters. I rooted for him so hard in his final battle with mapo tofu, which is something I didn't envision when I began this journey. I really liked the focus on characters who'd been shafted in the prior routes so that's something I appreciated, too. Don't hurt me but Saber, Rin, and Caster were beginning to get a bit tiring after two full routes of them. It was also a welcome change to see this route take all of the things the two previous routes established and to toss them upside down. It feels like a different story, yet the characters seem true to themselves at the same time. Admittedly, the selfish/human side to Shirou was a drastic change, but it made sense why this side of him, which had been buried beneath the trauma/guilt/PTSD, would surface in this route. The shortcomings to me were just the lull in the middle of the route and some minor problems with both endings, though the true end is easily my favorite of the VN. I'd say quite easily that this route was my favorite.

SHIROU - If it wasn't clear above, I began to like him more and more as I moved through the routes. I thought at first that I had begun to tolerate him better but after thinking about it, I think I just favored the way he progressed and developed. Fate sets him up for change and shows up how disturbed his mind is, leaving room for two different ways to live as a human. I favored the resolution he reached in the HF route because he places value in his life and has something that he wants to live for. It's not grand and he won't reach his potential as a magus but he's doing what his heart desires and that's a way to live that I think is genuine and admirable. UBW's conclusion to me was kinda iffy. He's going to become a grand heroic figure, but it's born from tossing himself away for others because he doesn't value himself and is laced with self-delusion as well. That, to me, isn't how I think a person should live, regardless of which destination they end up at (hero, criminal, ordinary person, etc.). It's rare to see a protagonist with as much complexity and room for growth as Shirou and, being a critically minded person, I really like him after finishing up the VN. He's one of my favorite protagonists.

SABER - As I said above, the VN has given me a good view of Saber where it was pretty underwhelming before. To follow her struggle, the burden she bore, the sacrifice she made for a greater cause, was all a very somber and emotional experience. I hate when people don't get rewarded for the work they put in, and it made me upset for Saber. I think she really capitalized in her role as the primary female lead and the Fate route was good to her. Her resolution to accept her kingship felt a bit sudden and weakly written to me, but it's not something that's hard to forgive. She's among my favorite characters, and I'm glad that I got to experience her journey. I can't speak much towards how my opinion of her changed across the routes but that's only because the bulk of her characterization is handled in just Fate, so maybe it stayed the same throughout? She's my second favorite heroine.

RIN - This is a weird one. When I watched the UBW anime, she was my favorite girl since Saber didn't shine as a character in this route and Sakura/Illya/Rider were brushed aside almost completely. After finishing up the VN, I'd comfortably say that she's my least favorite heroine, though I am still very favorable towards her. She's easily the most fun girl and there was scarcely a dull moment when she was on screen. She also has two of my favorite SoL moments in the whole VN. She's endearing, easy to cheer for, and kinda badass. On the negative side, I think she falls short as a character because she gobbles up screentime at a rate unmatched by anyone but Shirou and I don't feel rewarded for it. There's very little development to show for it and it wasn't something that can really be applicable to something people deal with in real life. I also have a natural aversion to perfection and waifu-bait in characters and Rin is a pretty big offender in both categories. It's not dealbreaking stuff, just kind of offputting to me. I liked her best in Fate when she was in a mentor role that kept her tsundere mess shenanigans to a minimum. UBW was mostly good but said shenanigans grew old pretty quick. Then comes HF. I think she's at her best as a character in this route, but her worst as a person. I actually grew quite upset with her in the last third of the route but she totally redeemed herself to me at the resolution of a certain fight she was involved in. While this route did bring to surface a few problems I have with her as a person, my view of her is pretty favorable at the end of it all.

SAKURA - I have an affinity for psychologically disturbed characters that we get to explore the mind of in a character study type of manner. Sakura is one of the better examples I've seen of this in fiction. These types of characters don't build affinity easily as they aren't ultra-competent, badass, sources of escapism, etc. but I find them to be very interesting if done properly. They force you to confront the fragility of the human psyche, the delusions we drown ourselves in, and the way we cope with problems we face. Sakura serves as a good commentary to all of these things so I really liked her. I admittedly have a soft spot for tragic characters, so she earns some points there from me, too. On the flip side, I would have liked to see her character arc resolve in a more inspiring way but I can see and respect what Nasu wanted to do. I think he mishandled her a bit, to be honest, and it's probably the reason she didn't vibe with a good number of readers. He should have given readers a reason to care about her before pulling the stunts he did with her in HF. Sympathetic villains (can we call her that?) only work if there's some affinity built between readers and the character before, after all. Additionally, I think Nasu went quite overboard with how tragic her life was and I think it put some people off, too. I didn't mind it, personally, but it felt kind of lazy. It would have been nice to see her in a different light, too, and not just the hopeless, tantrum-throwing one we got in HF. But, as a whole, despite the small amount of time we got to spend with her, she was my favorite. She earns points for actually making me care about the romance, too, which is a genre I usually don't care for such as in the other two routes.

I didn't get to touch upon the rest of the cast, but I just wanted to add that Fate/Stay Night has become one of my favorite series across any medium. Even if I went in with high expectations, I would have been floored, anyway. I love the characters and the different ideals/virtues they uphold and the varied commentaries they provide. I love the full pallet of emotions I was able to experience and how much they resonated with me. There are some soundtracks that I will never forget and they seem to have taken up permanent residence in my head. I love Kirei. The execution of themes, especially overcoming hardship, advancing yourself beyond your own boundaries, and sacrificein HF were very well executed. Kirei is a good executioner, too. I am so glad that I decided to pick up the VN. I only did so because so many people on /r/anime were talking about how good the HF route was and I couldn't bear to wait for the movies to find this out for myself. No fucking regrets. And now I will wait painfully for October with the rest of you for my holy grail. I hate waiting. But I fucking love Kirei.

Well, it's pretty bad literature.
But it's another form of "anime" media.
So depending on what part of it you enjoy over the other the most, it's either good or bad.
I enjoy VNs for their weeb qualities, but I cannot say the same for most LNs for example since I think more of them in the traditional literature sense.

>>156073486
But I thought the Otome/Fujo market was super stronk.
That aside, I think it's more likely that TM has decided they have built a dedicated audience based on the standard set by the VN, deviating from that is probably not for consideration, we know how stubborn or conservative 11s tend to be with these kind of business.

It's an ancient doujin game. It's fans were mostly dead or just liked it because of Melty Blood (which has always been bigger than Tsukihime. That's why Kohaku in the nip fandom is the one of MB). He's beginning to promote it as a derivated of Fate to get more fans.

Melty Blood serious manga is an "FGO spinoff story" enforced by Nasu. While Roa is the villain of Edmond Dantes' CD drama where he avenges Father Faria's death from the people who imprisoned him. The reason why he wants to finish Tsukihime R (more a reboot than a remake) is because he wants Arc in FGO.

Fragments has Elsa (was that her name?) as Arash's Master and Manaka.
Plus don't forget Misaya in Prototype as Cu's Master.

Nasu and Takeuchi were talking about wanting an animated FGO version with female Master.
>>
>>156077045
Nasu decided to make it central before it got big. He thought only 100k tops would play it, but he still made it super big deal since the beginning (he started writing the story with the conclusion).
>>
>>156077170
That's plain bullshit he feeds fans to look humble and you know it, unless the game was 100% trash (and even then, it was pretty shit at the start), Fate+mobage was always gonna be a huge hit, with how popular that cancer is these days.
>>
>>156077254
They recorded Goetia's and Solomon's battle three years ago, as did King Hassan's lines. Nasu and Takeuchi had no fucking clue it would get so big. They just assumed it would be kind of like Extra where a core of 100k 'die hard TM fans' would get they by. That's why Aniplex let them hire a literally WHO? company as developers like DW. Because they assumed it would be niche-y. Nasu pretty much stated recently only a minority of the players is familiar with TM older works and less than a 20% played the VN. I assume they got the info from the surveys they take.

Sure, which is exactly why they're appealing to that audience.
Secondaries and newfags, mobage bandwagoners who only care for waifus, etc.
Regardless it doesn't matter how much of the playerbase read the original VN, 20% is actually quite a lot. Fate has had a ton of exposure through other mediums over the last years, it was always gonna attract a huge audience and the jewish overlords at the top saw that.
Hell, even if Nasu was a completely clueless dumbass, it was still a waste for him to use up good ideas on this schlock.

Kill yourself. It's by far the worst.

Nasu is a clueless idiot about this. He wanted to make some rpg browser game instead. Takeuchi suggested a mobage.
>>
>>156077526
>mobage bandwagoners who only care for waifus,
That's not truth. Read the interview, both Nasu and DW developer knew they couldn't fuck around too long, and needed to change the story because the fanbase was going to drop them after Septem fiasco. The game grew because it gained fame in Japan of being well written and exciting story-wise, unlike any other Mobage. Not because of any gameplay feature or its garbage gacha rates. In fact, the popularity exploded after Camelot.

It's not like FE:H which is indeed this: a minimal effort waifu collector. Sony was surprised (pleasantly) about the profits they got from it.
>>
>>156077535
Nah man just listen to that groovin ost
>>
>>156077587
Price is irrelevant, and I assumed you meant read the full VN.

A browser game would probably be just as shit, but with less obvious money-grabbing and would've made them less cash. Still, the whole thing was doomed the moment they decided to do something based heavily on Servants, without good or memorable human characters. Servants are gimmicky shit, and other than Saber they were easily inferior to humans in FSN. Not to mention the ridiculous scale of the conflict. It was always unsalvageable, but being a profitable mobage means they won't move the fuck on and do something good again.

>>156077715
It still appeals heavily to those people, they're a core part of the audience. Even those who want lots of story are half in it for the waifus.
And the whole "it got better" argument fucking sucks, it doesn't excuse that they obviously didn't care enough to make a fully engaging story, or that Nasu only came up with the beggining and end until he realized that was a really stupid thing to do.
>>
>>156077743
>thing was doomed the moment they decided to do something based heavily on Servants,
In your opinion. Servants are the best feature of Fate.

> Servants are gimmicky shit, and other than Saber they were easily inferior to humans in FSN.
Most popular female character in FSN is a Servant (Saber). Most popular male character in FSN is a Servant (Archer). They aren't 'gimmicky', he focused to write those two. Avenger is a Servant and he's easily the best character in FHA too.

I'm not sure why you constantly try to shit on FGO because it doesn't suit your tastes. The majority prefers Servants over Masters. If you wanna read about crusty mages, there are other works for that.

>>
>>156078014

This is an exaggeration. All takes place on Fate universe/franchise. The small differences and divergences are smoothed out when they hit 100 years timelock.

Tsukihime, on the other hand, takes place on a different branch.
>>
>>156078014
In the same timeline, same as the HF movies.
>>
F/Z is an outstanding anime. Possibly the best modern anime since at least Big O.

F/SN on the hand is a bore. Characters are bland and writing can't make them even remotely interesting. UBW Route was the only one that had something going for it, but it had the misfortune of having the worst tsundere in the anime history.
Even the new anime couldn't save all that shit from its mediocrity.

Say all shit you want about F/Z. At least it has memorable scenes and characters you could actually give a shit about.
Kamen Rider Ryuki is the proper F/SN and it'll stay that way.
>>
>>156077919
Wow, do you unironically think the Servant characters in FSN were better than Shirou, Rin, Kotomine, or Illya? Average FGO player, I guess.

I mentioned Saber, Archer is nothing but a component to Shirou's character, popular thanks to his design and attitude. And that's why most Servants are popular, Nasu doesn't need to go in-depth or make creative stories that flesh them out when he can just re-purpose existing myths to fit the Nasuverse, while adding a couple of tropey anime traits on top.

The new audience prefers Servants, because that's the premise that gets you into Fate, before you actually read FSN and realize they're not the focus at all. That's why FGO is essentially pandering to those people, and why it makes loads of money through "gimmicks". And believe me, I would, but thanks to FGO the only new content without a full Servant-boner coming out is el-Melloi Case Files. After that's over, that'll be it, Servants are the face of Type-Moon now, completely missing what made their earlier successes good.
>>
>>156077957
Just no. Don't even compare something like KnK to this shit, FSN is easily better than most of it.

Sakura's were like the only ones that didn't have the same tropes, it was actually two people who wanted to do each other without the virginal crap.

The only thing that ruined it was Nasu putting the implications of Sakura being in the shadow into them and making Shirou have that vaguely homicidal talk the first scene. The next two scenes were

He makes up for it with her scene in Hollow, where the two have very intimate, casual sex. Shirou massaging her tummy about made the scene. Probably the best of the Hollow ones in being as close to two people in an established relationship, rather than a trope.

Rin's had humor, but then Shirou went full Shiki when he was doing just fine with the foreplay, which made me sad he went full rapist. The Hollow one was funny and nice, but almost too comedic. Good to finally have Rin be completely honest for more than a minute.

Saber's second one in FSN was okay, but had too much of the "Saber is this holy being, so pure" stuff Shirou always does. Best way to ground lovemaking is to make the partners actually enjoy their time together, which again, the Hollow one did much better. So Sakura's was the best.
>>
>>156078418
I agree Sakura's were easily the best in FSN, but hers in HA sucked ass. Only good thing was that she got to share Rider's.
>>
What is the non-H version of HF like? What does it do with the tohsaka sex dream and the penis worms?
>>
>>156078180
>Shirou
He wants to become a Hero and has a Heroic Spirit/Guardian self. So yes, it's pivotal to his development.

>Illya and Rin
They became Servants. Well, Illya the loliconpandering version did.

>Kotomine
He's only good because he's a foil to Shirou, on his own doesn't work until he's a contrast.

FSN is the story about a normal redhead (with an emptiness defect) struggling with his ideals and way of life to be a hero to save people and seek his own sense of happiness, whether he's recognized by the Throne or not. He is acknowledged in Last Episode to be larger than life 'a star'. In UBW, this is also brought up. HF serves to contrast of a path not taken.

It's funny because out of all Fate works, FGO is one that addresses the same points of FSN with a focal character with the reverse development. Nasu did say it was going to complete a narrative from FSN. FGO is the story of a Heroic Spirit (with an emptiness defect) who was always a Heroic Spirit struggling with his ways of life to become a person and save the world. Just like Saber and Archer routes are ways to explore Shirou's life and ideals, the orders serve the same shit with this one.

FGO is the most similar to FSN narrative themes from all of Fate works. You just don't like it because you've never read it. The emphasis are on Servants because they are foils to the narrative exploration.

We don't know how part 2 will play, so there could be a focus shift.

The one in Rider's Eclipse wasn't Sakura, it's the Sakura that Rider imagines in her head would be domming her and Shirou if they had a threesome together, notice that Sakura doesn't have a fetish for bloodplay. That is all Medusa.

If I could explain it in a way that is easiest to understand, that Sakura is like the cognitions that people conjure in their Palace that you see in Persona 5 if you have played that. Her power works like that. In reality, all Medusa is doing is sucking blood and masturbating. The same when she turned herself into Rin in HF. It's like she can thrust people into her own Palace when they are asleep. Though I guess Sakura can do that with her Imaginary Number Space in a way too.

And Sakura's actual Eclipse was great, Shirou actually plays with her tits, fondle her belly and is pretty intimate. The biggest thing that annoyed me for FSN, is that he doesn't bother to actually fondle the heroine with the biggest breasts, when he constantly thinks about them? No wonder she asked him if he hates chicks with large racks.

Servants have been the focus of Fate spinoffs before FGO. Apocrypha was all about them, Proto (before FSN was made) only had three relevant Masters (the MC and the antagonists) and Fragments is similar. Strange Fake has some Master focus but again the main dish are Servants. Do you think Masters are as popular as Servants in Extra/Extella/CCC? (Specially Extella?). FGO didn't start shit, so stop pretending it shot your dog.

Fate was going to be about the Heroic Spirits on the draft prototype version anyway. As another anon pointed out earlier, FGO is the spiritual heir of FSN themes. If FSN explores an empty normal guy's struggles on the path of a heroic (or inglorious) fate for the sake of the people he wants to save, but gives them up in most scenarios for the sake of his happiness. FGO explores an empty heroic spirit's struggles on the path of being a normal guy for the sake of his normal happiness which he gives up to save humanity. They even have similar color scheme to clue you in. Masters and Servants only exist to mirror those ideals and philosophies they possess.

Could it have been written outside the mobage cashgrab formula? Sure, but FSN could have been written outside the cheap eroge VN formula too. Takeuchi just told Nasu to do those because they needed money too. If was up to Nasu, he would have written novels like KnK on both cases.
>>
>>156079128
It's okay to be in denial /a/non. F/Z is known to be an overrated piece.
>>
>>156078862
Why the hell is it relevant that they later decided to cash in on characters' designs and make them low effort Servants?
And no, Archer's eternal suffering is not inherently tied to being a Servant. Counter Guardians don't appeal to secondaries and newfags in the same way, because they're not cool historical figures battling each other. Archer could've been a man with any other eternal curse that forced him to betray his ideals, and Shirou's story would've been the same.

Solomon's story is perfectly fine, but the fact is, he's not actually a major character for most of it, nor does he have as much screentime as the actual protagonists. The story's themes might've ended up centered around him, but the fact that it was a mobage with a self-insert protagonist and that the authors didn't even care about half of the story dragged it down.
And even ignoring all that, a single good character leaves it nowhere close to FSN, nor does it excuse the ridiculous Servant pandering for gacha money.

I'll also tell you right now, there will not be a focus shift in part 2, Servants will always be the major characters in FGO because that's what sells.
>>
>>156079341
Don't worry I also don't like F/Z. But what you said exactly describes KnK
>>
>>156079310
All of those spin-offs were trash except for Strange Fake, which also divvies up some time for Masters to nearly the level of Fate/Zero. And most of all, they're spin-offs, they're expected to focus on certain specific things. FGO is clearly treated as a mainline entry, and Nasu's actual main focus, yet it does nothing that his previous best works did right.

Who gives a shit about the draft, they clearly changed it for the better. And as much as you want him to be, Roman was not the main character, nor was he on the screen most of the time.

Both would've likely been better that way, with later anime adaptations, but at least VNs don't force you to go through repetitive mobage gameplay to read short bursts of story, nor do they make you wait for months for new content that may or may not be one of the parts they put effort into.

That's entirely your opinion. Some are badly executed because the writers in charge weren't very good. But the concept and idea are fine.

>And as much as you want him to be, Roman was not the main character, nor was he on the screen most of the time.
To Nasu, FGO was Roman's story. It's like FHA, where the SOL scenes were just fitting his desire for being normal. Avenger wasn't in most of them, but it was played as part of what he wanted to see and be involved in. Once he went away, the events, even those that were supposed to be gags like Guda Guda are depressing as fuck with a serious storyline that deals with "moving on" and "coping with loss."

It was his story. Each order he makes a commentary about what happened and learns something from his dialogue with the helpers (from your self insert's eyes). This isn't a VN where you can play him as POV and reach different outcomes, his role I'll say it's a mix of Kiritsugu (the mentor figure and tragic protagonist - he even saved someone who would embrace his philosophy, Mashu, and your self-insert inherits his will), Avenger (for the FHA-central focus) and Shirou (his storyarc). The story and meat underneath FGO are incredibly fitting to the old trio of the franchise. Shirou is a normal human pretending or trying to be larger than life, fighting Heroic Spirits. Roman is a Heroic Spirit pretending to be mundane, filling 'leader' role rather than fighter or Servant one. One wants to save everyone, but finds his answer (in the best case) is to embrace a normal sense of happiness. The other wants to be happy like a normal person, but his conclusion (only one for this is not a VN with multiple routes) is that he has to give up this freedom to save everyone.

I would naturally would have wanted Shirou and Roman to meet, but someday I hope Nasu makes a crossover. He always reuses his characters.
>>

>>156080133
I definitely agree it was Roman's story in Nasu's eyes, but he didn't care enough to even write half of the story. I'd say a good part of that was that the self-insert was forced due to it being a mobage, which just adds to my pile of complaints on that (that you didn't address).

And once again, one good character does not carry the story, and even he is heavily rooted in his biblical past. They needed more humans and cool mage shit, but that's not what sells.
>>
>>156080376
Nasu wrote the story scenario and started from the ending onwards as the guide for all the writers to follow it: each event was carefully placed and thought about it. Nasu's inspiration was Maaya Sakamoto's Scrap which Roman quotes in the conclusion (and he wanted to use it as the game OP song but he wasn't allowed due to copyright). I affirm that every main order explores and challenges Roman's ways and ideals: Your self-insert has no ideals, and Mashu's are all taken from Roman (who she seeks advice from and guidance) so in the end when she's conflicted is because she's borrowing Roman's ideals. Even Lev affirmed in the end, he, not you or Mashu, was the reason why Chaldea didn't fall apart. The philosophies clashing in FGO are Roman's vs Goetia's. I did address it when I said he had Kiritsugu/Avenger role mixed there, so he is not a POV character as Shirou in a VN.

Mage lore is heavily explored in FGO because Solomon is their common ancestor. It's just not the focus because what was in tension was Solomon's wish to not be a Heroic Spirit and the theme is a "journey to our roots/history." There's a lot we learned about the magi origin and why they could be fucked up in relation to what Goetia did for his ritual. The Clock Tower inner fighting seems to play a future role in part 2, with all the foreshadowing we have so far.

On addition, before I forget. The tease pre FGO (Clocktower 2015) about a worldline's Lev's suicide had heavy on magi storyline. FGO does explore magi far more than you think. Or at least gives Case Files author a minefield of lore wealth to choose to sink his teeth into. This is thanks to the Caster-bias FGO has. Clock Tower and magi are heavily featured in the Servants' backstories when they were alive. Helena's and Holmes' for example. You're too quick to dismiss it.

Writing the climax parts and the start only is ridiculous no matter how you put it.
You did not address the inherent flaws of a mobage with repetitive gameplay and long waits for chapters that might be shit, which a VN or LN would not suffer from in the slightest (inb4 "oh but I wouldn't be so attached to the characters if I didn't spend a year with them", fuck off, you would if they wrote the story properly and you read it all in quick succession).

No, it's not the focus because it doesn't sell, and as you said, everything new about mages has to be directly tied to fucking Servants, only exploring their relation to actual historical figures and as various tools to wank Solomon further as the super duper Grand Caster, because that's all they want to do now.

>The new audience prefers Servants, because that's the premise that gets you into Fate,

The audience has always adored Servants as a concept.

Most people on her won't admit it, but old fans always quarreled and argued about their preferred heroic spirits, that was a big part of the fandom, why do you think fanfiction always has someone create their own grail war, it's a template that was always attractive.

It has nothing to do with being an oldie or newbie, Servants have been a big part, part and parcel with the intrigue of mage society and the war itself.

The main characters of a VN are not "headcanon", they're a clear fact to anyone who's actually read it, secondary-kun.
I don't even have anything to say if you missed the clear shift of focus towards Servant from Apocrypha onwards in order to pander to the masses.
Extra was still on the fence, but at least all the Servants had original Master characters.

Pffft, this is how you make it obvious that you're an actual newfag jumping on /fgog/ memes. Rin has always had a huge male fanbase, second only to Saber. Same for Illya. Shirou and Kotomine's characters are constantly praised and secondaries who call Shirou a self-insert are waved off.

You seem obsessed with this when Nasu said FSN main dish was Arturia looking for the Holy Grail. The rest is pretty much filler in his eyes.
That's why he treats it as filler when he needs to address FSN in his multiverse. Only Arturia's stuff/Fate route ends up mattering.

Nasu said that the core of Fate franchise is a Master's meeting and departure with the Servant. That is the core to Nasu. No Masters. In this, FGO has a lot of focus on saying goodbye to Servants, as did CCC which are the two works he's always said were his most important ones.

Fixed it for you. ArcherxRin was voted as the second most popular Fate pairing in 2005-2006, by the way. After SaberxShirou (number one). If you weren't a fucking newfag, you would now about the survey.

Who do you think voted them? Self-insert Rinfags? No, it was the female fanbase. Because Rin is the default otome protagonist.

Yes.

Archer was #3, Rin and Archer always are near each other in polls because they let you pick two characters (or three in last one). I'm not saying she only has female fans, but a large chunk of her fanbase are girls who self insert in her. That's why she's the femc and got Gudao out her genderdent.

Indeed! I also believe Nero and Waver's proximity, at #14 and #15, is proof of their popularity as a couple. This also means most of Nero's fanbase wishes to become a girl (just as she is a male Emperor who got genderbent), so they self-insert as her in the fapfics where she gets railed by little Waver Velvet. I'm glad we could deduce the majority of these characters' fanbases together, especially since it's so relevant to the original argument about the importance of their roles compared to Servants in Fate/stay Night <3

Why shouldn't he if the situation allows for it? Meaningless sacrifices are meaningless. Even if the end justifies the means, that doesn't mean that you should deliberately sacrifice as much as possible. If you can afford let unrelated people escape your onslaught, there's no reason not to do so.

Not really.

If you still wanna give it a try, I suggest sticking to just Fate/stay Night and Fate/Zero, they're easily the most worthwhile parts of it.

Also even if you're not into Fate, you should watch Kara no Kyoukai.

Sorting the jumble out in your head is half the fun of Nasu's works. Not to mention that the last movie is split between a mid-series event and a decade-later epilogue with a surprising amount of closure for the series.

Translating Tsukihime and Fate was a mistake it lead a domino effect where Aniplex noticed people imported KnK because they wanted more Nasu stuff. Now they're milking it and distracting Nasu.

Nasu's work was so detailed and internally consistent. People will question this consistency due to the introduction of exceptions to rules (especially prevalent in Fate onward), but in the past, there was always a solid, non-bullshit explanation - concepts, though occasionally convoluted, made sense. Even more so than that, his characters had a way of exceeding the limits of their basic descriptions. Kara no Kyoukai and Tsukihime read more like plays rather than the anime that most light and visual novels try to mimic. The characterization has effort put into such that the characters transcended their archetypes and became something more, something sympathetic. His characters had to evoke emotion because he didn't have the benefit of flashy visuals or huge art budgets before Fate. All he has wasTakeuchi (who clearly isn't always the best influence, but he is what he is).

Looking back on it, Nasu isn't and probably never was quite as good as Urobuchi or Meteo or Romeo, but he did his best. His world was interesting and had a sense of moderation and care put into it that was charming.

But I can't say that about Type-Moon or the Nasuverse anymore. I can't just blame Fate for it. The only thing I can fathom happening was that Nasu stopped caring. His work just doesn't have the passion it used to. Mahoyo was what truly made me lose hope, because it is so overly polished that it has no soul, and Aoko, Alice, Soujuurou, and even Touko are miserably boring characters compared to the charming ones I remember even within Fate/Stay Night. The powerlevels have gotten too out of control, losing the well-toned sense of restraint the Nasuverse once had.

And I've lost all hope of this stopping. Because it's popular, even though it's dumber than it's ever been.

i love how hf has all these little dominos falling into place, small changes that add up to major differences. Shirou choosing to spend more time with Sakura leads to him meeting Zouken. Zouken name dropping the Einzberns leads to Shirou recognizing the name when Illya introduces herself. This makes Shirou hesitate in treating Illya as just an enemy to defeat and he ends up turning down Rin’s offer here. Which in turn leads to Shirou finding out more about Kiritsugu’s connections to Illya and the Einzberns, which causes his relationship with Illya to become completely different from the first two routes.

But back to this. You get so used to having Rin as an ally/mentor in the first two routes that something like this really starts to make hf feel different. Especially compared to Rin’s enemy declarations in ubw which never once felt convincing, this moment where she says it to his face after all that negotiation makes it feel more final. It doesn’t last of course, but this moment has always made me think about a route where Shirou and Rin really do stay enemies and never team up. What would that be like?

Didn't feel like the stats mattered when compared to FSN. Maybe Uro didn't care for them? Saber's stats make no sense, too.

They're just background lore for retarded power level discussions that GOfags love.
The author basically gives the characters whatever abilities he feels they should have at the moment, regardless of stats.
Saber's are different with Kiritsugu than with Shirou or Rin, but I agree that the change is too extreme for the same heroic spirit.

Stats never mattered there either, except for calculating stuff like does X get past God Hand. Nasu literally said he put them there for "no particular reason"
