Lol, seriously. You had been fooled. There's nothing radical in those H-scenes. Also if you don't like them you can skip those scenes quite easily. And I still don't get why you're so against playing HF.
As Cherry Lover states simply knowing the spoilers wouldn't really tell much about the story. Indeed, without spoiling yourself HF may have greater impact but I can tell you it will have grand effect even by knowing all those plot twists and secrets. And no, it's not solely about Sakura as UBW isn't about just Rin either. To be precise you will know about Rin quite a lot after playing HF. Other than that you get: -Illya's background and more insight to her character. -More dissection on Shirou's ideal. -Kotomine Kirei's true face and his motivations for about everything. -The truth about the Holy Grail War -plot twists and an epic finale with incredible battle. Just made this list for merrymaking. Anyways, even if you would hate Sakura with passion I think HF worth playing through. It simply answers many of the unanswered questions and can be viewed as the "conclusion" of the game. Although I am sure HF isn't for weak hearts as it plays with your emotions quite much, especially if you care about either of the mentioned(Shirou, Sakura, Illya or well even Kotomine). Also it brings up many moral questions like the infamous Player Punch at the finale you probably already know of. |

On the whole, the HF H-scenes are far better than the other two routes. At least they have more reason behind them than just "lol, I need prana" (especially the last one). If you can cope with Fate and UBW, then you'll be just fine with HF. |

You lack enough information to reasonably judge either Sakura or HF as a whole at the current moment. Yes, you may well play it and decide that you don't like her after all, but your opinions of Sakura following Fate and UBW are in no way sufficient to make the judgement that you won't like HF, because you quite simply know nothing about her until you've played HF. |

Personally HF is a very hate/love route for me. Everything about Sakura herself, I hated for the most part. However, everything about the other characters, was great. This includes Kotomine, even Zoken, Illya, etc. It makes Kotomine seem like a much more complete character.
HF certainly did seem the most surreal of all the arcs though. The whole universe really feels completely different compared to Fate/UBW.

I think the game is already set that way, unless saving it at a scene kicks that out and makes you play through the game manually.

Well, got the Good End for UBW, which was very warm and fuzzy in terms of feelings. I got started on Heaven's Feel today, but I'm only walking Sakura home and already I want to strangle her.... not a very good start at all, bleh. x_x So yeah, if my reaction to the beginning of it is like this, I'm nervous about how I'll take the rest of the route since already my will to go through with it has dropped to below zero.

I finished this one. I don't know why I didn't post here sooner, guess the heat made me forget (97 degrees right now).
Fate: This one had the best romance I think. The love was gradual and he manned up at the right times too. The ending was awesome too. The switching between Shirou's fight and Saber's was really well done. And the music was so awesome. Shirou kicked the most ass in Fate I think. UBW: I was semi-spoiled about Archer. I always had an incline that he was Shirou but was unsure. Someone made a vague post about it somewhere without spoiler tags and it was enough for me to put two and two together. But the hints about everything were placed perfectly. I didn't think there was enough romance in this one though. Shirou & Rin had their moments, but I thought Rin thought and felt more towards Archer than Shirou. UBW was my favorite. I wished it had more romance, but the whole Archer thing was awesome. HF: My heart was torn out way too much in that route. I thought Sakura was just pushed around by Shinji but it was well...you know. That route made me rage like crazy too. The effect it had on me, and still does, is proof of how good the storytelling and everything is. It just pains me so much. I mean, the cause her she wanting it ruins any fun. I'm sensitive to this type of thing it would seem. But I really did love the entire VN. It was the first one I played and I think it may be hard to top it now.

How to put this. It will rip your heart out and stomp all over it. I've read it exactly once, and I have already decided that I will most likely never do so again. The other two routes, yes, (In fact I've already started doing so thanks to inspiration from that story you have over in the Nanoha fanfic threads) but not Heaven's Feel. I'm not saying it isn't well written; it's probably the most emotionally touching and intense of the three routes, and the sheer level of Awesome Stuff that happens manages to rival UBW despite that. It's just also way too draining. I can't put myself through the wringer like that again. |

And I always wonder that did you ever read HF properly dear Flinch...(Welcome back! I haven't seen you here since a month or so. Perhaps it can be that I just missed it somehow.)
Seriously, in HF Shirou became even more awesome and to add sane at least. He learned to have some damn integrity and think about himself a bit more. It's ironic that despite those facts he became more suicidal...but it's more thanks to the plot. |

Ugh, well, this is bad. I'm only on the beginning of Heaven's Feel and can't even find the urge to play through it. My interest in it is just dead, completely. I feel like I played through the game completely with Fate and Unlimited Blade Works. I know I should play Heaven's Feel for the full experience, but I can't even force myself to do it.
