Servants were literally created with fucking them to supply them mana in mind. Saber, the flagship girl, has a power that she literally becomes stronger if you fuck her. This is all originates around an adult VN that rewarded you deep in the route with porn, the porn was your goal.

That's not true. The only reason why Arthur had to be a girl is because Nasu wanted to make an eroge from the beginning, and Saber was supposed to be MC's main love interest. Also, porn is an important part of HF route.
>>
>>142957199
>Nasu wanted to make an eroge from the beginning

But that's wrong. In the beginning, Fate was supposed to have a male King Arthur with a female protagonist. They immediately interchanged their genders and added porn to attract an audience.

>>142955134
But that's wrong. Saber is one of the strongest servants because her legend is widely known throughout the world.
>>
>>142957199
>That's not true. The only reason why Arthur had to be a girl is because Nasu wanted to make an eroge from the beginning

But that is fucking wrong you dumbfuck. He made Arthur a woman as he felt that his idea for the original F/SN (Fate/Prototype) were weak as fuck. Takeuchi suggested swapping the genders of the main pair so that the game had more scope and meant that they could implement routes that would layer the overall story.
>>
>>142958403
The guy is already determined with his narrative of 'it's porn therefore it's shit'. There's no point trying to explain it. People who like the work will continue to like it and people who don't will continue to shit on it.

I did. Most of FHA is horribly written and was retconned anyway. There Arturia claims she was in love with Guinevere (unless they mistranslated it), now she isn't anymore in GoA. Arturia is now 35 years old and Nasu even stated she's like a mother to Shirou in UBW route. Yes, he is pretty much her son-figure in the non-retarded forced romance scenario.

Telling King Arthur to fuck off and not fight is treating her like shit and disrespecting her. Like father, like son, I guess.

Between Tsukihime and FSN, I think Tsukihime has more interesting characters while FSN has an overall better story. I think that it would be really tough to make an anime out of Tsukihime because the strongest psychological elements and character development are the focus of the "alternative" storyline, which would require significant rewriting to make those characters at all relevant to the "canon" storyline.
>>

Not only Nasu has made her over 30 years old but actually called her relationship with Shirou as a guardian and a mother lately. With his Archer-version, there have been more positive hints, but looks like he's more interested in empathizing his latest pet project: Merlin. There are narrative reasons in FGO to do it.

Go and read that event again. Saber said that their marriage was political, she was never in love with Guinevere.

Her body stopped aging when she was 14, it was mentioned multiple times in the original. Her actual age is a different story.

If you don't want that to happen - that doesn't mean it can't happen. Saber is the main love interest in FSN, that was always the case.

There is nothing in FHA that states this. Guinevere is brought up in one scene where all she does is talk about how they had a complicated relationship.

He didn't know she was king arthur when he asked her not to fight, and her being king arthur didn't stop her from almost killing Rin and dying to Assassin/disobeying her nightly vows hence the two times in the whole story he even tells her not to fight.

Originally, FHA was meant to take place after Fate route. But after Nasu wrote Realta Nua, he retconned it as not really a continuation of any route in particular, even speculated it to be a "platonic" Ilya route.

A lot of what Arturia is telling of her life is retconned in GoA, like the Guinevere thing. See below.

>>142960481
You should re-read it. She said she wanted to love Guinevere was a man loves a woman and tried. She was happy to marry her as a person. Nothing like that was in GoA.

>Her body stopped aging when she was 14,
15 years old. I don't know where you pulled that 14 age.
Her age in FSN and FHA was 25 years old, but GoA made her 35 years old.
>Saber is the main love interest in FSN, that was always the case.
And this lacks any importance when Nasu thought the idea of Saber falling in love with Shirou as "ridiculous" in retrospect. Him crushing on her is one thing, though. He would be in awe, but Arturia actually returning his feelings, not even Nasu buys it.
>He didn't even know who she was.
Doesn't exactly make for a good romantic story and Nasu stated he fucked up in writing their romance, anyway.
>>
>>142960536

I haven't read whatever was translated by Boy's Love Lair, but I assure you the implication was that Arturia did love Guinevere romantically, and felt regret because it wasn't enough to avoid her disgrace.

Saber has fought for a long time as the ruler of Britain, but then turned into a girl all of a sudden and fell in love with Shirou. It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it.

Nasu doesn't buy the Saber/Shirou romance. Saber is the main love interest in FSN because Arthur was in Prototype. But now he's moved on that, he 's going to slap Arturia and Merlin together or Arturia and EMIYA.

>>142960644
He also retconned a lot more than that in Garden of Avalon and GoA. Besides her age, relationship with Guinevere and Merlin, I can think about these two points:
- She's weak without prana burst strengthening her. No more. In FHA, she cannot lift a box. In Garden of Avalon, she gets her magical energy when she pulls Caliburn out the stone and before that she's got a grueling training under Ector and Kay: she patrols the village tirelessly, takes care of horses, trains and beats her brother, can lift armor and sword without being a weak moeblob girl who has to pose non threatening to the average neckbeard user Nasu had to pander. She's a freak.
- She was betrayed by her people because she's not a human being, ruling in a transition era. Not meaning how she acted "too perfect", but she is actually a magical hybrid with godlike prana, so no human wanted to be ruled by some magical being when the era of civilization began.

Pic related. She said that she did not love Guinevere as a man, but she tried to make her happy, even though everything ended in tragedy because of those lies.

Or 15, doesn't matter.

Servants don't age. Her actual age is supposed to be around 60, since Arthur lived quite a long life in his legends.

Who cares about that? Nasu has also stated that Fate/Zero is not canon because he didn't write it himself.
Also, the original novel > some freemium mobile game.

Nice cherrypicking image. If those incompetent of Boy's Love actually translated what was said like that, I'm really fucking embarrassed with the hacks.

Her age is 35 years old until she gets in Avalon to sleep.

He never said that. He claims quite the opposite a number of times, starting with the FZ afterword. Look it up.

There is nothing in FHA that says Saber was in love with Gunivere. There is no implication. There is no she wanted to love her. They were both just two people trying to make the best of a shitty situation they were forced to be in. There's a reason she had zero issue with her and Lancelot's relationship.

>Nasu: From the start of the planning phase, I thought, “FGO has to be this grand story where every single character from all the Fate/ series until now would show up, or else it would be pointless.” To put it extremely, “even if I die, I have to pass this on to the next person… Actually, I should just pour all of my wealth and assets into this” – that was how I felt, so I had to put in everything up until the core setting of the Fate/ universe.

To Nasu, FGO is more important than FSN. Merlin > Shirou in the pecking order as he's a key player in FGO while Shirou is who tier (besides being the MC of Garden of Avalon).

Nasu on HF True:

>Yes. It (Normal End) was the only conclusion considered at the time. However, after writing about 2/3 of it, I found that the story itself did not allow such a conclusion. After that, I wrote the original conclusion, and then followed the story and write the happy end. Since this was Shirou's tale of happiness after losing so much, even if Sabre and Ilya were lost, at least he should let Sakura achieve happiness. And this was the conclusion. Even though Sakura indirectly became a mass murderer, there was no reason to deny her of happiness. I came up with this idea that if one were alive, it was not bad to redeem him/herself while looking forward to happiness. Even though this was hypocrisy, I felt that the story itself strongly demanded this possibility. To be honest, it was the first time that I lost to the story I wrote.

>>142961065
HF was a story that flowed naturally. While Fate was something he forced to happen because Saber was the original love interest. He never had his heart on it and it shows.
>>
>>142960969
They function much better as the servant/master relationship. Actually most of them do. Saber and Shirou's relationship makes as much, if not a little more, sense as Araragi and Senjoughara. They're both forced romances.

They work better as family. Shirou is a parallel to Saber in many ways, so she takes the role of mentor figure.

Nasu does seem to have a real interest on the knight/warrior and wizard dynamic as a better match.

The moment Nasu chooses Saber/Merlin romance over Saber/Shirou will be the moment this franchise dies for me. I always loved Fate for that charming and naive romance. Ridiculous things like King Arthur falling in love with the MC is what made FSN fun and memorable. If you take that away - there will be nothing left.
>>
>>142961214

It's legit.

The idea is that she was entirely focused on preserving her country, and basically being a martyr for it, this was stated by her all through FSN and in Zero.

So it goes without saying that her not feeling emotionally attached to basically a political marriage makes sense, despite liking Guinevere as a person. The emotional detachment is something that was a flaw of hers, same with Mordred, and caused a good deal of her problems. People used her and got angry when she acted like what they wanted, and she didn't understand people, nor was interested in leading people. She wanted to be used, and for weal or woe, she was.

>>142961116

People tend to misinterpret Nasu. What he said about HF was that he "lost" to the story, but think about the way he writes. For Akiha's route, he blatantly overturned that tragic end where Shiki stabs himself with that bit in KT. He's softer than he lets on, but doesn't want to admit it.

What he likely felt was that when he was writing HF was that he was being a tad too edgy just ending it on the Normal End. Though it is sad he didn't emphasize on the fact Sakura did at least try to reinterate herself back into society, taught herself magic, and eventually had a cute apprentice before passing away quietly one day. People just see her as a crazy cat lady for some reason.

I mean, this was the guy who got angry at Urobuchi for wanting to unironically write loli Dark Sakura tearing shit up and going full edge. Yet he makes fun of Sakura(and other characters), quite a lot.

Anyone who thinks he hates HF or just hates Fate needs to understand the guy is just this weird otaku writer who is both a perfectionist and likes making self-flagellating humor.

>>142961518
From what I'm reading in the websites, it seems Morgan disguised as Merlin to sleep with Arthur. Arthur realized it later, but if that's true, it confirms Arthur loved Merlin. I need to get this Fragments to clear my doubt.
>>
>>142961632
It's the same as Shirou chooses Sakura and kills Arturia in HF. Nasu has stated many times Saber is like an otome heroine to him.
>>
>>142961689
There's an even simpler explanation: some autists can't read between the lines or understand subtexts and can only take things on the literal level. Many a times I've seen threads getting derailed simply because one anon failed to realise that the other guy's words aren't meant to be take literally, leading to some stupid bickering linking to dictionaries, wikipedia etc.
>>
>>142961632
Shirou and Saber as couple isn't relevant to FGO, so why would you care? Fate route doesn't take place in FGO at all. The only 'Shirou' Saber will interact with is EMIYA.
>>
>>142961846

If you think this is the end of the pseudo NTR discussion, just wait until Rinshtar and Sakuvati drop, and are able to be romances by the MC in FGO.

Or it ends up being Sakura's senpai love is unending and she treats you normally, which is even funnier.
>>
Wait, so FGO Merlin is male or female?

Yes, newfags only started hating and shitposing Fate when it became popular again because of the Ufotable adaptations.

And that shit is the worst part of fate. It's the equivalent of some european princess studying as a foreign exchange highschool student in japan because shitty reasons then falling in love with a semi competent retard but much worse.

It's nothing but pure pandering of otaku fantasies fuck that.
