So I just finished Fate/SN and just felt the need to talk about it.
I'll be talking of every route here, so be aware.
Sorry in advance, this is just because I don't really friends reading VN's that I can share this with. I just wanted to get what I feel off my heart.
I've been reading vn's for a couple of months now, soon half a year. This is what I've managed to get through so far.
I've been enjoying more or less every vn I've read, though I've mostly played well recommended ones so that might not be too strange.
You know that feeling you get after you're done with an amazing book? I've always been an avid reader and plenty of book has left me with that feeling of completion and a sting of sorrow because you know you won't have the exact same experience again.
So far no VN has left me with that feeling. A lot of VN's has brought out both tears of sadness and joy, but after I'm done it's like "eh, that's cool. Let's find a new one" Up until now that is.
First thing that struck me in F/SN was the amount of decisions to make. No VN I've read so far has given me close to that amount, while also not having any real failure states. I found that thing kind of cool in its own regard, the whole tiger dojo thing and everything :)
My small recap of the game:
Fate route:
Oh Saber, you stubborn girl, and Shirou... you stupid over-protective piece of shit.
Thank God Saber bashed some sense into you soon enough. Now you're ok.
Shinji, FUCK OFF. I've never hated a character more than this guy. Grisaia has some annoying ones but no one comes close to this guy...
Illya, I don't know what to make of you.
First time Exucalibur on the rooftops: Holy shit, goose bumps.
Gilgamesh: Jesus, this guy has a foul mouth.
Grumpy Saber is best Saber.
Ending: :( ok... Now I'm a bit sad. The epilogue gave me some consent at least.
Unlimited blade works:
Thosaka is cool, most sensible character by far.
Ok, Archer, you're pretty cool too. Lancer, you're ok now, you're actually pretty darn cool.
Illya, holy shit that gruesome death.
Caster, you're half way to Shinji now...
Archer = Shirou, shieeet, that battle!
Bye bye Saber :(
Ending: Solid :)
Heaven's feel:
Cool let's see what they can make of that Sakura girl.
Err, that's one creepy oji-san...
Also, fuck you Shinji.
Saber gone already? Didn't last long this time :(
Ok, Sakura, that's a messed up background.
Illya, you're so good in this route.
Ok there we go, Sakura's insane now.
Thosaka vs Sakura: Ok, now I really feel bad for Sakura.
Phew, somehow it all went ok.
Ending, decent ending. All well that ends well.
What now?
After this I didn't feel it was enough, so I went through all tiger dojos.
Some were really fun :) Also found this
After that I realized, there's more than 3 endings is there?...
Did UBW nr2 quicky:
Awesome, finally one that Saber is staying! Though it felt kind of wrong in a way.
Heaven't feel normal end:
Ok, this is soooooooo sad...
The hell is this? Last episode?
It was so good! Best battle theme, and with the best girl. I cried so much.
That was the ending I really wanted.
Now there's a big hole in my heart. Maybe I'll watch fate/zero? I've never watched any anime really..
Best music:
Emiya theme.
