What is that terrible shop, post the real one where the fish is eating Sakura! UBW is the greatest, and as for Fate I could see UFOtable scouring it for a a little extra meat for this. It's not like they aren't as obsessed with this bullshit as we are.

Dick Spacious CPA posted:yea plus the lesbian sex isnt even in this part All the sexual elements have basically been nixed from Type Moon material these days now that they don't need money anymore. Redcrimson posted:As much as I'm looking forward to this, I have to admit UBW is probably my least favorite FSN route. 90% of UBW is Shirou and fighting, both of which are the least interesting things about FSN for me. It's basically just a typical Battle Shounen arc with superficial grimdark Nasuverse nonsense grafted onto it. It's all flash and platitudes. It has almost no Sakura though so that's a plus.

I believe RN changes the h-scene to Rin drawing a magic circle on Shirou's back or something to that effect. So yeah we won't be seeing Dolphins most likely.

Silver2195 posted:I don't understand why they can't just handle these things with a fade to black instead of inventing weird new plot devices. Then again, I don't really understand why the VN market apparently requires sex scenes in the first place. The market isn't really like that anymore anyway, in large part thanks to TM itself.

UBW scene is hilarious insofar as for once teen sex is a realistic shitshow wherein both act like fumbling morons. Still not needed at all though.

jrdbnta posted:So? Express thoughts through actions and dialogue between characters. The source material is essentially a book with HUGE amounts of internalized monologues, many of which have no clear visual substitute. Attempting to lazily sub in swordfights and cutting that stuff is part of what brought down the DEEN version.

Perhaps at some point Gil and Kotomine could menacingly walk in a circle around him and explain his own motivations to him.

Cutting down the church sequence means cutting down on Kotomine, which is not acceptable.

Squidster posted:I haven’t read the VN, and all I’ve seen is Fate Zero, which I really enjoyed. I’m finding Fate/Stay night, so far at least, much ‘safer’ and more familiar. We have a tsundere decoy protagonist, a very normal sort of bland male hero with a Secret Power that lets him fight servants, and it’s all set in the incredibly overdone highschool setting. This is the perfect example of why starting with FZ is bad. Kubla Khan posted:My problem with going into F/Z fresh was being unable to feel anything for the main characters. Kiritsugu (kill one, save two!) didn't seem human. Kirei was downright evil. Paired up with Gil (graded A+ for obnoxiousness) the final showdown was more of a 'let's get it over with, we gotta wrap this up somehow' than me caring about it one way or another.

Well that particular one is a photoshop, as is any you'll see with "I cast +5 Reinforcement on my dick." It doesn't matter though, since the porn aspect of this franchise has been dead for many years now, it's certainly not relevant to this show.

Though given Sakura, I wouldn't be surprised if it was really: "I know she's a servant, but I'm not going to do meantion anything about it because that might make Shirou not like me." That is precisely the case.

Hollow Ataraxia is a game in which Shirou goes shopping, only to run into Caster and Sakura, who made friends when Caster deep fried Lancer for creeping on Sakura. Sakura then launches into a lengthy rant about Rin while pretending (badly) that she's talking about Akiha (Shirou believe this because ). HA is loving weird (also great, play HA).

I wonder how people who talk about how cool Kiritsugu was miss that part of the entire point of the franchise is underlining that Kiritsugu's methods were cruel and ultimately meaningless.

Unlimited Blade Works is the second part of a story. Fate Zero is the FIFTH part of that story. Fourth if you don't count Hollow Ataraxia. If you want to know why you aren't being instantly gratified, there's your answer.
