I felt that Heavens feel true end felt the most perfect. The sisters can finally get along with eachother, and no more torture for Sakura. She can finally be happy. Plus the way it ended with Rin, Sakura, Rider, and Shirou looking at the cherry blossoms was just fantastic.

But my favorite end was probably UBW True(I like Rin too much)

Well, if you like Rin, then surely HF True should be your favourite end, because it's the only one where she's not going to have to deal with the fact that she left her little sister to be tortured by a monster whilst she ran off to London....

I like to think that they are equally happy, barring the Sakura thing.

Let's be honest, UBW Good End is an extremely (IMO obnoxiously) happy ending - the Sakura issue is never dealt with so people simply do not like drawing parallels that, behind the scenes, very little is actually fixed aside from Shirou's ideals. However, I don't really think people need to go to the extent of acknowledging that the ending isn't happy because Sakura is not involved, since upon completing the ending most people had never finished HF in the first place. Even after completing HF, the feeling of "Wow, UBW good is really happy!" isn't so easy to argue away so long as the feeling is still there.

This discussion reminds me of a fanfic called Dear Tohsaka. Pretty decent read, by the way.

UBW good is the best because Saber is there at the end. And I think we talked about how they could go and save Sakura after that and I'd trade one loli for two heroines, sorry.

I thought the Grail gets dismantled by a certain someone...

In any case I don't think you can compare innocents who definitely die to innocents who might die. If I recall, that was the whole point of not killing Sakura (at least from my perspective).

It's more than possible that she moves on from Sakura and never finds out. Heck it's possible that Emiya somehow manages to find out and saves Sakura (at least that's what I'd like to believe). You know that Sakura's Letter fanfic isn't actually canon...

According to Nasu, no, it doesn't.

Well, it depends what you're talking about. If you're talking about whether it's morally right to murder an innocent civilian in cold blood then, yeah, that's definitely the case. But, if you're talking about how "happy" the ending is or is likely to be, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

Quote:

Then she's a total fucking failure of a sister who doesn't deserve to be happy. You don't just "move on" from your fucking family.

Yeah, it's possible, but it's not canon. And, even without that, HF True is still just as happy an ending.

What's the difference? If I could choose an ending between one where people might die and one where people definitely die, I'd call that a no brainer.

Um...why not? Your family is who you percieve it to be. There's nothing wrong with Rin deicidng that she it's not her responsibility to look after Sakura if she doesn't feel there's anything wrong. I don't even think it was her responsibility in the first place and I doubt she considered it that way when she was looking out for Sakura. Imo, it was her own desire to watch over Sakura.

From my point of view, in terms of ending all of them are good endings but what ending people think are happy are relative to what kind of ending they want. e.g. which heroine is alive, which girl wins Shirou's heart...

However from a storytelling point of view, all endings are good and equivelent. It's very similar to the law of chaos theory, where one event can lead to similing unrealted events. But such is the why of a VN especially one from Nasu. The initial catalyst, which is paying attention to the different heroines caused the different routes assuming that all routes could be played without having to play one to get to another. I think this choice from Nasu makes the game very linear but also improves the storytelling style of FSN. Firstly we have build up of a single heroine allowing us to get to know one extremely well at a time, in doing so leaves the others more or less shafted this would obviously improve sympathy towards Sakura during HF which from a literature perspective is good writing.

This also sort of makes the story linear and rather biased to which is a more canon route as it would appear that HF is the most important route of all. However since there is a law of cause and effect all routes are valid such is a VN despite FSN seemingly linear nature, for example the initial choices would lead different routes, paying more attention to Sakura to access HF would lead you to realise the issues with her family her life. Or becoming captivated with Saber and sort of leaving Sakura behind.

This leads to a second point about the VN though. From the start I felt that it was a story focused on Shirou and his ideals. The 3 routes show a progression of his idealistic nature. The fate route showed an idealistic Shirou who would try to save as many people as he can as shone when he sacrifices his feelings for Saber and destroys the Grail.
UBW route shows a Shirou with more changing ideals a period of learning, this is done through Archer who wants to change that idealistic nature and Shioru learning that he cannot save everyone.
HF route showed that Shirou takes the most realistic approach to his ideals that he must make a choice of who he wants to save, he cannot save everyone in other words, sacrifice the many for the one.

Oddly enough the different choices of Shirou is reflected on the different heroines.

Idealistic Shirou - Saber who gave up her humnity for her country as king
Growing Shirou - Rin who understands the need to save people but also has the character who is willing to make the necessary sacrifices
Realistic Shirou - No offense to Sakura fans but she while having alot of compassion was also extremely selfish when it came to the lives of people and would have easily sacrificed many for Shirou. You can dissagree on me with that since I can't remember that well.

This points to the idea that each route is equal in importance despite the fact that they had to be played in certain orders. Regardless of which Heroine you like most, I would say that the kind of Shioru chosen would fall for a different girl and lead to different events.

My longest Post ever.... -____-

I think the real reason people say UBW Good End is the happiest one is because they look at it from Emiya's perspective in what he doesn't lose:
Fate End: Loses Saber
UBW True End: Loses no one
UBW Good End: Loses no one + Bonus Saber
HF Normal End: Dies
HF True End: Loses Ilya (maybe Saber if that counts)

But Rin does perceive Sakura as her "sister", and further she knows how much Shirou means to her, and that she's always sad except when he's around. Given that, to run off to London with him and forget about her without even looking into why would be a real dickish move.

OK, what?

Since when is Sakura "selfish", or at least unusually so? Hell, she's not the one who quite willingly fought in a war that would likely result in the deaths of a bunch of people just because she wanted to prove to herself that she could win it....

He loses Sakura, eventually, unless he finds a way to save her.

Yes, I'm aware that Rin sees her as her sister. What i'm trying to say is that she has no obligation to. It's her choice, and if she's changed her mind (she was more stuck in limbo really) then that's her choice.

And whose to say that she didn't check with Sakura first? It's not like Sakura has a case anymore. Not when Shirou has already decided where his preferences lie.

@ second point - We don't know what happens to Sakura nor can we be sure how he'd react. They might have already gone their seperate ways and lost contact at that point. If he even learns truth behind her death (and there's no guaruntee that he will) he might simply treat her tragedy the same way he treated the orphans' tragedy in Fate, and move on.

No, not really. Sakura is her sister, whether she likes it or not, and she clearly does care about her. To just bury that because of some true magus bullshit is not at all justifiable.

I'm not saying "Rin shouldn't be with Shirou", I'm saying she should check up on Sakura better.

I don't see Shirou just "losing contact" with someone he sees as family, and I certainly don't see him not being very upset that she died, especially if he knows what happened to her. There's a big difference between a bunch of orphans in a basement and a girl who you saw as part of your "family" (and who you abandoned).

Lol, subjective-fu. I already made the point that such things can be seen as relative and this is clearly the point of view that Rin chose. And there is absolutely nothing wrong that. It's Rin deicison whether she can see Sakura as her sister. She doesn't have to and has no obligation to. It's her decision and there's no reason why she can't.

Quote:

You mentioned that Rin knows how much Shirou means to Sakura so I pointed out that it's possible she already took that into account.

Shirou was also very upset with the orphans as well and seriously considered going against his beliefs to save them as well. It's very debatable whether he will still consider Sakura a part of his family as Sakura becomes less and less a part of his life. Bonds can be gradually lost like that. Again, this is all assuming that Shirou doesn't find out about Sakura's true tragedy nor manages to save her. There's simply too many ifs to conclusively say that he loses her the same way he loses the other heroines (This is why I put a question mark over his loss of Saber in HF). The other heroines fates and what they meant to Shirou are made explicitly clear. Sakura's case is far more ambiguous.

I disagree. She clearly cares for Sakura, and if she shits on her like you're saying she would be "entitled" to and follows her father's bullshit "true magus" ideal at Sakura's expense then I have absolutely no wish to see her "happy". If she does that then she's just a total failure as a sister and a failure as a human being.

Quote:

How? How could she "take that into account" and then go through with it anyway, without even making any effort to check up on why Sakura is always unhappy?

I don't think it's likely, especially not for someone like Shirou. Sakura is very close to him, as is Taiga, and I don't see him just forgetting about them.

Well, this is definitely true, which is part of why I dislike the UBW endings. There is a huge amount of uncertainty there about how happy the ending really is. Not only for Sakura, but also for Shirou and Rin, by extension.

Agreed, this is obviously assuming that the paradigms in which the FSN world is different and the magus have to live by different rules. Rin had absolutely no obligation to look out for Sakura as far as the society of magicians are considered, once Tokiomi gave Sakura to the Matou, she was not Rin's sister anymore, therefore looking out for Sakura is part of her own decision. However that was all she could do, since she would not go against the decision her father made.

I say Sakura was selfish because, her character would have forsaken everything for Shirou making her love for Shirou a very selfish one. And that would be similar to the mindset that Shirou has during the HF route.

I noticed that a lot of the dislike pointed at routes not HF is because the Sakura situation is not resolved, yeah well her character completely disappeared during the earlier routes in other words she was insignificant in those routes therefore by those routes standards and since Sakura is deemed not important, the other routes are happy. And its always nice to assume that if and only if Shirou finds out about Zoken, then Sakura can be saved. And he would save her but that would be the big IF in the earlier 2 routes.

Why is she shitting on her? Because she hasn't factored in why Sakura is unhappy unless she's around Shirou?

If that's the case can I just point that if that's not a factor anymore, then you would acknowledge that she's totally in line to do what she likes, right?

Quote:

It's not hard to guess why Sakura is always unhappy *cough*Shinji*cough*. In any case it's more than possible that Rin already checked up on why and couldn't find anything wrong (Like in that scene where she goes off screen with Sakura to patch things up with her). Or she may have simply gauged how reasonable it was from Shirou who also decided it's no problem to leave Sakura without a second thought.

Quote:

Okay, first things first. They were more than just a bunch of orphans to Shirou. That was made all too clear in the VN and I think you're seriously undermining what they meant to Shirou. Secondly could he have reasonably saved Sakura? No. The only way for Shirou to save Sakura in HF was for Sakura to become Dark Sakura and become suicidal enough to rip the worm zoken out of her body, and Shirou to see and use Rule Breaker. Also Shirou had the chance to save the orphans as well. Finally, I'm not claiming he would be more upset. I'm not even claiming it would be the same. What I'm saying is that whilst Shirou might care more for Sakura it's not significant enough for him to treat her more seperately. I think this is actually the reason why Sakura's fate was made ambiguous in the other two routes in the first place. Because this was how he would've treated her tragedy.

Quote:

I think it's likely. Consider how little Sakura came up in the other two arcs, how litle she mattered when Shirou made the deicison to leave town with Rin and now times that tenfold and you've got an idea of how little Sakura is going to mean to Shirou from now on. Imagine if Shirou is already embroiled in another conlifct (as only Shirou could be) and then finds out that Sakura's dead. Do you think he's going to be any position to leave that conflict and get the next plane to Fukuyu? I don't think so. If Shirou plans to become a superhero then unless he has Facebook I don't see him keeping a significant contact with Sakura.

I disagree with this. She is still Sakura's sister, no matter what Tokiomi says. Further, she does care for her, and to let go of that without ensuring that Sakura is OK is just nasty.

The fact that Sakura's situation isn't explicitly mentioned does not mean that it's OK to leave her to suffer.

How the hell is that "reasonable"? Shirou doesn't even know that she's sad, because she's always happy around him, and that in itself should only throw up more problems, unless Rin decides to be a selfish uncaring bitch and shit all over her own fucking sister without a second thought.

He could have at least tried, and he would certainly blame himself ofr not noticing.

Bullshit.

Shirou would not have just forgotten about it, he's too caring for that, and he sure as hell isn't going to overlook the fact that a fucking girl who he knows was tortured to death under his fucking nose....

If Shirou plans to become a superhero then unless he has Facebook I don't see him keeping a significant contact with Sakura.
What, so she comes over every fucking day for a year, he sees her as "family" and he's just going to fucking forget about her like that? And not even mourn her fucking death?

You might think Shirou is an uncaring asshole, but I sure as hell don't.

I'm going to put my debate with Cherry Lover under spoiler tags. Anyone who doesn't wish to see or has a problem with it for whatever strange reason, doesn't have to look anymore. And in the future, if anyone wants to give me a neg rep then please make sure you state a reason, otherwise I won't know what it is I'm doing wrong.

Spoiler for space:
