Well, it definitely seems to change some details, but it's still the Fate route so it makes sense that they wouldn't delve super deep into it. But at least you get some picture of what it's like instead of it all being a mystery. Also, I thought the whole "raised as the heir" thing meant that she was just the one who the Matou bloodline would depend on, not that she would be a full fledged magus -- which is true in the VN too. The "training" she gets could just be worms.

What I meant was, "the ways of magic" that she's being taught, couldn't that just be the usual worm business? I mean, isn't that how they pass on their magic. Plus, it's not like Zouken ever tells them his true objectives, so just saying "you're the heir, enjoy your painful training" wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
As for me, I liked it, because, well, if I wanted the normal story I already have the VN. The whole point of an alternate story is to explore some different possibilities. |

I know it's the easiest to make into the story, but is the Fate route more popular in Japan? I know at least among English readers, everyone seems to think "either UBW or HF is the best, and Fate's alright, but not nearly as good." |

And I doubt she's even that much more popular than Rin in Japan. I'd say the difference in popularity between her and the other heroines is much more outside of Japan. HF is neutral. It has a lot of haters but at the same time a lot of people like it(it is clearly the best route though). |

And yes, it's good to look at alternative possibilities, but this was honestly kinda of just shoving some parts in and force-altering character backstories to fit a purpose (making Shinji seem more personable)more than anything. |

Something occured to me. Archer can't copy Ea... but that's the servant version of him. What if it was the original counter guardian EMIYA? does the current material support or deny the plausibility? or is it still up in the air whether he can copy it or not?
