Now I'm the one who's not sure if we watched the same show/played the same game or not. Do you even read 4chan threads? There are always trolls yeah but then there's also lots of actual discussion in those threads, with some people who actually know what they're talking about. (hint: the ones who just say "Sakura a slut/shit" aren't the ones who know what they're talking about)
As for Yandere Sakura I'd have to go back again to make 100% sure on the wishing that Rin weren't there to take up Shirou and his time. But her method of "keeping him safe" at least, was by killing pretty much everyone around him, which is generally seen as Yandere by most. The "gratuitously beating up Rider" by the way, is what is known as a Tsukiyomi (or however you spell it) and literally any character can lend itself to this part of a joke and it's not something that anyone usually takes as part of the character's character unless they repeat it really often against one person (see: Tsunderes) Your last point cherry, I've already pointed out one instance of in the game, as much as it may have been deserved or there being nothing wrong with feeling sorry for yourself in that situation it's still something she does. That and the same scene can be seen as an extension of her feeling like she deserves the punishment she gets, just switch the "because I'm beatiful" for whatever her actual reason was, I forget what it was. Not sure why you're calling me silly for saying she got an entire episode to herself, because she definetly did. I never said she got a lot of screentime, heck I said she was the closest of any of the heroines to the role of side character. |

I said she was the most side character-y of the heroines, and don't even try to debate that one it's flat out true, where is Sakura in Fate and UBW? Off screen that's where. Saber and Rin? In every route a heck of a lot more. Heck Saber and Rin nearly beat out Sakura (or maybe they do) for screentime in her own route due to her being bedridden for forever.
You don't think the replacement is funny, sure, just about everyone else did. My previous oint about her looking for attention was her whining to Kirei by the way. I dont think the episode was neccesarily anti Sakura, I mean think about it, how many things in Phantasm are to be taken seriously? (in terms of actions taken, not the character themselves) Lancer doesnt in fact die every three seconds in FSN, Caster (probably) doesnt act like a housewife, etc. But at the same time they're all based on things in the game such as Lancer always dying pretty quick and/or offscreen, Caster being beyond devoted to Souchiro, etc. Which is why when we finally get back to my original point, that Caren probably acts somewhat like she does in CP, someone who enjoys smacking Lancer with wads of cash and then makign an apparition of Kirei above her, would be perhaps not as strong as in CP but still hinted in there like maybe screwing around with people's heads, or putting them in bad situations and such rather than pulling a Kirei and outright trying to torture and kill them. And you're going to tell me that "If only x wasn't there, if only x didn't exist I could have my bf" isn't Yandere? Really? I never said 4chan was auto valid either, heck if I said that I take it back, I just refer to specific anons as 4chan because it sounds less stupid than "this one guy who I don't actually know the name of but he was totally telling the truth" If by hive mind you mean jumping onto a joke and making "memes" out of them then sure, but a lot of them dont always beleive jokes like that and are just going for reactions from people (obviously some do) And Sakura was certainly trying to kill Ilya, a person Shirou showed her was important to him and not tryign to kill him at all to "keep him safe" Spoiler:

True, but the Ilya route would probably have been cooler (than the first 2 parts anyway, the third is pretty damn awesome) would have been cool to see some Mind of Steel (everyone always assumes that was the route Shirou went Archer, and damn if that wouldnt have been cool)

But, even if it were in a general case, in the specific case Sakura is in it is not, because Rin is important to her in her own right, and she has considerable issues over Rin for a very good reason. Further, her worry was not Rin taking Shirou but Rin killing Shirou. That's very different. Plus, like I said, it never happened anyway, so the point is totally moot. Quote:

The shadow is not Sakura. It's linked to her, yes, and acting on her subconscious thoughts, but it's not her and she isn't responsible for the actions it takes. Further, even the shadow never attempts to kill Shirou, at least not specifically. It might attack him once or twice, but only because it's hungry. Quote:

For the mind of steel thing, I specifically said that that's what people think it would be, not that it actually would, it's usually based on the scene where Archer loses to Berserker because he doesnt want to hurt Ilya that people think this. And it wouldn't be Shirou as Archer, just Shirou on his way to becoming Archer.
And now I see why we have such differing views on Sakura, you don't think her shadow version counts as her while I count it (I mean after all. Shadow just so happens to never really go after Shirou, Sakura's shadow version as well while she threatens Shirou once or twice she never really goes through with it and it looks like she wants to scare him away from danger) heck I think Kirei straight up tells her that her shadow version is quite a bit a part of her as well (and before you tell me "but Kirei lies all the time" there's no reason for him to lie to her when he made it obvious he gives no ****s what happens to her during their conversation (which leads on to the attention point, she wasn't just trying to fight Kirei since he pretty much says "stop talking to me I really dont care let's just fight and get it over with" and she keeps going anyways going all "you don't understand" until he has to tell her again he doesn't give a f***. Now, you telling me that you most likely know more and are more right than a guy you havent even met is what really gets me laughing here, that's more than slightly wrong. There's always someone smarter, who knows more, and you're not even saying that you're smarter than the average anon, but smarter than most everyone who thinks that they know a thing or two about FSN and gets down to actually have discussions about it more or less everyday. The rest I'm going to kind of disregard because at this point we're really just going in circles with the "Sakura is a Yandere" "no she's not" buisness, I'll just say she displays some of what she does in CP in a more subdued and far fewer in between fashion, and that most every other character is played more or less straight leaving it more than likely Caren is at least close to her CP incarnation in a few ways and we'll call it a day I hope. |

Spoiler for the nature of the shadow:
But, even if you do count the shadow, Sakura still doesn't count as "Yandere". The shadow attacks indiscriminately, and even Shirou isn't entirely safe. Quote:

I don't know what exactly you're getting from 4chan, but in general I do not find it a trustworthy source of information, not least because you have no idea if the guy speaking has the foggiest clue what they're talking about, or has even played the game. But, more to the point, "some guy on 4chan said so" is not a valid reason to believe something without question. I am certain I know more than most people on 4chan, although not all of them, and I have no reason to believe this guy you are talking about was doing anything other than talking out of his ass.

I have no idea what you're even on at this point, of course the Ilya and Archer scene I mentioend didnt happen on MoS? Because MoS was just an idea, something people wanted to happen but hasnt happened yet? No freaking duh that scene wasn't on it?
And now I can see why you're claiming to be so knowledgeable, you're a bit of a self important guy seems to be the issue. You're first ad third points you can't just say so simply clear cut, they're wrong. Unless you're from the future you dont know what's on the Ilya route that didnt happen you cant say anyone's musings are straight up right or wrong, you can say one is more likely than another, but you dont actually know what the heck was on it, so stop trying to pretend you know if a guy's guess about something that didnt end up happening is right or wrong. Your point on talking about FSN for several years is also pretty hilarious to me, because all of that works exactly the same way the other way around, how the heck am I supposed to know if you have any idea what you're talking about? How do I know if you've played the game? "some guy called Cherry told me" isnt a valid reason to beleive anything either and I don't know if you're just talking out your ass either. Oh sure I could go back through your posts because you're not an anon, but that doesnt mean any of those old posts aren't you talking out your ass either. The average anon who again, I specified as one of the ones who was a)in a thread talking about it b) not being a troll and trying to get discussion going and c) has played the game since they use specific quotes and scenes from the game to back up their points, these are the ones I'm talking about talking to, the ones that you say, "Yes I'm almost definetly smarter than them, I'm sure no one at all played the game at the same time I did and went onto the biggest anime board on the internet to talk about it and still do so today, no siree I'm the only one" At this point I already made my "last" hopeful "let's leave it at that" type post and don't care enough about Sakura or whether you know something or not to keep going through it, if we were discussing someone interesting like we started with Caren, then maybe but all this back and forth over Sakura? Ehhh.... |

And, like you said, at least you can go back and look at my previous posts. You can't do that with an anon. Quote:
You can believe whatever you want to believe, but I have provided plenty of evidence for my viewpoint, whereas all you have managed is "well, some anon told me" and "well, obviously they're the same despite the whole game demonstrating they're not". Quote:

All this over a difference of opinion, just show the guy a let's play, so he gets accurate info, and honestly, not give a crap about Sakura haters. It is a waste of energy talking to someone who takes opinions on 4chan seriously without checking himself, especially when "facts" presented are often hilariously out of context and doctored for character bashing.

You can hardly talk about over-reacting to a difference of opinion....

I don't think Rin generally uses much in the way of technology, for the same reason as Tokiomi. Magi just use magical alternatives, although I think Rin is somewhat less of an "ordinary" magus than Tokiomi was, and also has less access to the alternatives.
However, whilst "Rin is bad with technology" is a common parody, I'm not entirely sure if it's actually canon. I don't think it ever shows up in any of the unambigiously canonical works (Carnival Phantasm doesn't count). |

I'm confused as to which version of the Light Novel I'm playing. I heard there was an Updated Re-release on the Playstation that had extra content, voice acting but no H Scenes. The version I'm playing doesn't have the extra content I've heard about (particularly an extra ending in the Fate Route) but it does have full voice acting (in every thing but the H Scenes?). So am I playing some kind of combination of the two that doesn't include the extra ending for some reason?
