>Better characters
People don't actually believe this do they?
Almost every good character in F/Z was written in F/SN and F/HA
>>
Reminder not to be deceived by sunk cost VNfag primaries.

They made the decision long ago to gorge themselves on an inferior medium, knowing full well that a superior, high budget, high quality better medium version was in the works.

They traded quality for early access to content. And misery loves company, they will stop at nothing to trick newfriends into making the same mistake they did.

You should do the following, at the bare minimum

1. Watch Fate/Zero
2. Watch UBW (UFOTABLE)
3. Decide to wait out for the end of UBW, or if you really must and cannot contain your autism to win nerdbattles on /a/, you can play the VN
4. Ditto for the last, worst, wormroutes like HF.

There is zero reason to choose an objectively inferior, decade old eroge VN over a far superior, better artstyle, animated, version of it.

Additionally the other fate releases spoil Fate/Zero -- the best standalone release of the entire fate series. It is idioitic to complain about how it ruins a subpar route like HF, when reading HF/FSN spoils Fate/Zero.

Fate/Zero is one of the greatest selling anime of all time for good reason. And /a/ will never stop being butthurt over it.

F/SN manga and F/HA manga ran/run in Shonen Ace. F/Z manga runs in Young Ace. That should make it pretty obvious what Japan thinks the demographic is.

>>
>>119400385
don't even start, every character in Zero is a hollow stereotype excluding the four that transfer into Stay Night and the theme is "let's all wank the protagonists"

Urobochi got super lazy with everything that he was actually in charge of writing.

Stay Night might be crap but that doesn't make Zero look any better in comparison.

Yes for starters.

There's also the unspoken false dichomoty of "has character, therefore is equivalent"

Kirei has more "text time"/"screen time" and a much bigger role in F/Z than F/SN. To say that they're equivalent when he has a smaller part in F/SN is not accurate

I think I like F/z better because it has more focus. Not that Fsn doesn't have any interesting ideas however it was the first of its kind and i can't be too critical about it. it's not like he had years under his belt like he does now.

I do like Type-Moon but the original fate/stay night wasn't as good as people like to jerk off and make it sound.

Yes and better characters are ones who are better written, have multifaceted personalites that go beyond serving their purpose in story are original and relatable etc.

Zero scores zero on all counts save that Kiritsugu and Kotomine already have their character development outlined in SN so those two came free.

>This is about F/Z having better characters

It really doesn't, the best characters were already written and developed in F/SN. There is pretty much 1 or 2 exceptions to this and those exceptions do not beat the entire F/SN cast
>>
>>119400833
I'm pretty sure Sakura was 16.

That isn't in the least bit true, especially considering people shitposting about HF being everything but Sakura's route all the time. Which is pretty petty and narrow-minded, but that is what this place usually is about characters they don't like.

She is 15, the game takes place at the end of January, into February. Rin's birthday actually happens during the game on February 3rd. Sakura's birthday is the next month on March 2nd.

If memory serves Sakura is a second year high-schooler, Shirou and Rin are third years, and they're edging towards graduation when Hollow Ataraxia rolls around.

Fate/Stay Night takes place early in the year, and I don't know if official birthdates ever got released, so it's probably safe to assume Shirou was 17 through the main plot.

F/Z has more focus because it has less story, you can watch a 26 episode anime and more or less get whats going on.

F/SN needs you to read half the harry potter series, then read the whole thing over again once you get all the plot twists and have read up on all the philosophy and historical refrences.

You can say that the latter is less entertaining and enjoyable or looks ridiculous but it absolutely is better written.

I mean how many people get that Kuzuki is doing the same thing for virtue ethics as Kiritsugu is for utilitarianism? Zero has nothing equivalent going on. What you see on your first viewing is all there is to it.

Extra original is the Fate route of that series, it's rather plain but it sets up the story and elements for the later entries.

I have a question, asking here since it's not worth its own thread.

Did Saber's VA ever do Eroge/Hentai? I went through most of her roles in anime and couldn't see any hentai so I doubt that's the key, but I am not too sure about Eroge (voiced obviously).

That's true. While F/SN is definitely the more interesting piece I wish they expanded on some of the characters like Kuzuki, Caster and Assassin and not keep all the attention of Archer, Shirou and Saber.

Unrelated but this new F/SN anime doesn't seem to good to watch for first time viewers. If I didn't know much from this series I'd be pretty confused.
>>
>>119401252
What does it cost Gil to use Ea anyways? Like Saber is limited on how many times she can excaliblast due to her master, but it seems like Ea would be something that would cost a hell of a lot more than that and given that Gil runs off dead orphans in FSN (unless I'm mistaken) it seems like Gil being light on the Ea usage is pretty for reasons beyond just cockiness is pretty reasonable.

Because some things Nasu does are missed because the majority of fanbase thinks that stuff in a more humorous or fan disk setting isn't canon. Despite Unlimited Codes and Hollow having interesting lore information.

Hell, some people still think Imaginary Numbers is only good for using against spirits and Sakura has no potential when some guy showed some stuff Nasu wrote about a Hispanic magus who has that element and it has amazing capabilities. Like making a dimension where time has no meaning. Funny, since this was shown in HF several times.

Eh, Zero in a weird way kind of fills in the gaps not having Fate creates. You see Saber's character, and get a basic idea of the grail war.

It's not optimal at all, but that's pretty much all the Fate route has going for it. Except maybe showing off Shirou's projections more.

BARELY ANY FUCKING CHARACTER GOT A FUCKING DEVOLOPMENT AND THE LEVEL OF HOW SILLYNESS AND EVERYTHING BEING FAR FROM ACTUALLY DRAMMATIC AND DARK.

90% of the "concept" might come from Type-Moon, but that's very different from the execution. Urobuchi did not write the novels based on any fixed outline or even a summary of major events. Instead he created most of the actual story himself based on the rough boundaries of what the story would have to be about. Nasu acknowledges him as a very good writer, which is why they wanted him to do Fate/Zero in the first place. It would be pointless if all he contributed was rewriting something which already existed.

No one disputes that Nasu has very good ideas. He's an idea man. But his actual writing and execution for stories is pretty horrid. The way he develops characters and the dialogue he writes is generally pure trash. His scenarios are also bogged down with shitty crap which doesn't make the best use of the good general ideas.

This is why Fate/Zero is not considered purely a Type-Moon work. Because it is written by a writer who actually knows how to use the good ideas well, and craft a compelling story with good characters in it.

I'm telling you that F/Z carried that development far more effectively. I'm not saying that everybody in F/SN was a total stranger while Shirou pranced about in his bubble of main character development, I'm saying that F/Z's format allowed for a superior exploration of its cast and their inner workings.

The whole point of F/Z is how flawed Kiritsugu's methods are. The reason he doesn't care about the fact he summons an honourable Servant is that he doesn't care about the Servant herself, he simply sees Saber as a tool to be used. Also with regards to Kariya, he actually did try and seek out Tokiomi on his own when both Servants were engaged and look where that got him.

I have to say I have a complete opposite viewpoint to your own with regards to how the actions of each pairing was dealt with in both works. In F/SN ultimately the action of almost every Servant/Master combo save for some minor variation at notable times was "Find another Servant, fight until one of you dies, move on".

Compare this to F/Z, where you have Rider and Waver tracking down Caster's home and using a bit of gorilla warfare to weaken him; Kiritsugu doing Kiritsugu things and using the Servants as a distraction; Assassin being used for various deceiving tactics, if not the most useful ones, and various other tactics used throughout the series aside from "kill them till they die". And then you have Rider, Gil and Saber all sitting down for a chat, along with the various fights that were purely mage-versus mage, completely independent of their Servants. Not once was there a straight 1-on-1, or even 2-on-1 or 2-on-2, Servant fight without something to tip the scales going on in the background and it ultimately gives the feel of a more strategic "war" than F/SN.
>>
>>119401863
They're buying time.
>>
>>119401384

The problem is that Zero has the same issues with some of its characters and doesn't have as much focus as some say.

Tokiomi is pretty much one dimensional magus nobility, and so is Kayneth. Kariya's motivations aren't expanded upon and the audience is left to just think he wanted Aoi's thick ass and that was it, which was overturned in Zero Material. Waver, Kiritsugu, and Kirei were the only characters not used primarily as vehicles for suffering.

Even the hyped Iskandar vs. Gilgamesh fight was underwhelming when you realize one never even got to touch the other one. It was flashy, and Urobuchi can do flashy, but lacked substance.

For FSN, Medea, Medusa, and Lancer got extensive extra stuff in Hollow, and it helped flesh even more for other characters, like Saber talking about her marriage to Guinevere. SoL or no, that "fandisk" did more to show the all sides to the characters than Zero ever did.

F/Z was meant to be a flashy homage to FSN, as said by Urobuchi in the writer notes. It bothered me though that so many characters were just used as vehicles for suffering, with much of their good backstory left out. It's an ensemble cast not used correctly.

Shinji...I don't get why he gets all the hate on /a/. FSN is just written to make him out as the bad guy, when really he's no worse than any of the 'protagonists' and a better person than most of them.

What are the main complaints? He raped Sakura and stole Rider to use in the war?

Okay, let's get this straight. He never fucking raped Sakura. He never did it. He never did it. He never did it. He never did it. He fucked Sakura.

Let me ask you this. WHO IN THE GAME DIDN'T FUCK SAKURA? You can't even name one fucking character who hasn't plugged her loose cunt! She is the kind of bitch who will act like she doesn't want it when she really does. She'll say No! while having multiple orgasms. Shinji knew this, he's a fucking ladies man. He knows what filthy whores like Sakura want.

And there's this other big bitch you guys have with him. He supposedly stole Rider and used her in the war for his own greed.

Objection! He was worried about his one and only precious sister. Is keeping your loved ones from a brutal war so wrong? When Shirou does the same thing to Saber it's like 'oh he's so manly', but when Shinji does it it's wrong? He just wanted to protect Sakura. He probably was going to use his Holy Grail wish to tighten her cunt back up or cure her syphilis or something.

The story was written to make that faggot Shirou look good. Objectively, Shinji is a far better character than Shirou. At least he has the balls to take action decisively instead of dicking around like Shirou, and if he weren't stuck with the weak ass servant Rider and no plothax he probably would have won the war.

I agree with this post, what this guy said.

I'm curious why they didn't add anything from the Zero Material or expand on the characters in F/Z and kept it straight to the novel. They shot themselves in the foot there.

I hope they don't make the same mistake with F/SN. There's so much they can expand, elaborate and work with that they should be overwhelmed.

There is no doubt, NEO-TSUKIHIME remake will be absolutely terrible and stained by filthy hands of Takeshit and Nasushit who completely lost themselves in MILKING fate/shit for last 10 years.

There were things Nasu agreed with and praised him for, but equally things he had to what him across the head about because he was being too edgy. Like his original ending scene for Kariya and Sakura.

Urobuchi even admits in the author notes about his problems with cynicism, and that this story was a chance for him to not have to hold back that part of himself and it shows. A lot of characters were made that lacked agency besides the role they fit for the plot, like Sola, Iri, and Maiya, coincidentally all women.

Let's not even get into how that Rin episode showed how badly Tokiomi needed to be shown outside of this flat, magus noble who says he cares about his family, but you barely see any evidence about it aside from one quick scene, to the point he is used as a clueless dandy oji-san in any extra material he is in. Most of the good stuff is in the drama CDs and even then that was only showing further that Aoi and Tokiomi are clueless parents.

I'm pretty sure the scene where he died showed that he had exhausted all her patience with his behavior. You could say she enabled him, but it was also said that she told him to stop the first few times and he was the one that blackmailed her by saying she should make it up to him pretty much every time, or threatening to reveal everything to Shirou.

Not to mention 90% if the problem was that he was a shitty older brother that made himself feel better with delusions of grandeur. How you can see what happens to Sakura and then actually be mad that you aren't in the same boat is mind-boggling.

Obviously, the entire 'murder' thing with Ryougi is an extended metaphor for repressed sexuality as a result of growing up in a very prudish, traditional family. In MSP1, Shiki/SHIKI manifests a tatemae/honne dichotomy so extreme as to come across as different personalities entirely. Caught in the conflict between the expectations placed on her behaviour and her growing-to-be-overwhelming attraction to Kokutou, she eventually has a psychotic break and tries to rape him.

Fortunately, 'Shiki', who embodies the values she's had beaten into her since childhood, wrests control and immediately tries to commit suicide out of shame. The entire rest of the story is an internal conflict centered around sex addiction. MEoDP are a metaphor for constant intrusive thoughts of a sexual nature (I had a joke about Mystic Eyes of 'D' Perception, but I've got more class than that, don't I?) The conflict is between the traditional values espoused by her grandfather ('you can only kill one person in your life' can here be interpreted as 'monogamy 4 lyfe, otherwise you're a useless whore') and her own desire to slut it up as much as possible. The latter manifests through her persistent attempts to lose her virginity to a string of casual, self-destructive relationships with:

>A runaway street kid she just met one night
Enjou

>A much older guy who's into some kinky bondage shit and only wants her for her body
Araya

>and some loser drug dealer she once knew from school.
Lio

Eventually, however, with Kokutou's support she's able to overcome her addiction in order to be the pure waifu she knew she always had it in her to be. tl;dr - murder is sex, Ryougi is a repressed nympho, and Kara no Kyoukai is a paean to traditional Japanese gender roles.

Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

What music played in this scene?

I can agree with that, but when it comes to characters personalities that shifted too much for it to be acceptable.

Honestly I like the Ufotable soundtrack so far.

It's pretty good. Way less overused music than Zero.
