Why is Fate route not as popular as UBW or Heavens Feel? Its like the neglected middle child that no one talks about.
Because it is the worst route. Simple enough.
>Shirou's worst route
>Anime adaptation by DEEN
I love this route, but Shirou is a complete idiot in it and DEEN butchered it even more.

Fate route it's more popular than UBW and HF in Japan, anon.
Sold twice as much as both routes when they were selling the routes separately vita style.
Saber x shirou is fucking disgusting
Worst Shirou
Too much exposition.
Almost no good scenes.
>>134564491
This is an anon who's still traumatized by the VN sex scenes.
They're pretty fucking bad.
>>134565581
>sex scenes
You mistyped "comedy scenes"
>>134564477
It's the most popular because Saber is the most popular.
That being said, Fate is not a bad little story, it's just I highly doubt people would care about the franchise much without UBW and HF.
>>134565666
So Saber as No. 1 is a Japan thing? And Westerners prefer Rin?
>>134564313
Because 4/5ths of the route is fucking terrible thanks to Shirou's retarded suicidal sexism that is only there because Nasu couldn't figure out how to write a decent romance between a BOy and King Arthur.
>>134566688
He couldn't do it better when it was a girl and King Arthur.
Fate route is only disliked because of DEEN. If given a proper adaptation, it would be just as popular as the others routes.
>>134566784
Hahahahahahahaha.
>>134564313
It's just too straightforward. Nothing interesting in that route except Gilgamesh. Even then he's kind of forced into that route.
Remember that Zero didn't exist back then.
>>134566784
The DEEN adaptation of the Fate route isn't bad. Seriously, like it's not some high budget masterpiece, but it tells its story for the most part.
Its biggest weakest honestly was probably the stuff they tied to merge in from the other routes.
The story though is the story. Its pluses, its minuses. It's certainly not a Tsukihime deal, where it's far and away from what the original VN was like.
>>134566012
Saber's #1 everywhere. UfoBW probably gave Rin a boost from Zerofags.
Nothing fucking happens until Saber vs. Rider. After that it's considerably better but certainly not great.
>>134567009
Starts off shit, gets better after the school showdown, and it's redeemed at the Church Basement.
Though you steal have to sit through 4/5ths of a long, bad vn.
It is a good route. Better than UBW. Not the best. Which one is the best route?
>>134567052
UBW
>>134567052
UBW.
And I'm a huge Saberfag.
>>134567052
HF>UBW>HA>Zero>Fate
>>134566012
Rin is just a meme.
>>134567326
>Rin is just a meme.
>>134567052
HF, then Fate.
Agreed.
>>134567052
HF > Fate > UBW
>>134567052
UBW. By far.
>>134567052
UBW made me stay up until 5:00 in the morning reading from the Archer fight to the end, and being on the edge of my seat throughout.
No other route did that for me.
>>134567326
The only meme character is Sakura.
>>134567052
Heaven's Feel > Zero > UBW = Fate
>>134567052
UBW. There's a reason why parts of it have been adapted three times.
>>134568507
Because the first attempt was complete shit? When was the third? Manga adaptions mean nothing.
>>134568724
Chunks of UBW were in the 06 series, it got a movie, and it got an anime that was the equivalent of 30 episodes.
But actually you brought up a good point, it even got part of it added to the original Fate manga, too.
