If we're talking about expies of F/SN characters, here's someone who is thought to be based off of Saber.
Spoiler for Sylvia Van Hossen:
I like to imagine that's what Saber would look like if she looked her actual age.

I was extremely bored and over-sugared, so I came up with this!
Spoiler for Heroic Spirit Hayate!:
Just consider the Butler class to be a very rare, special class. Similar to Avenger, only instead of appearing only as an Anti-hero, it only appears when the Holy Grail is extremely untidy. |

Okay, I've finally finished the Fate route with the Realta Nua patch installed and seen all the new CG's! Now, how to put this... they all look good, of course, but I'm forced to wonder if maybe somebody was not quite thinking clearly when they decided what pictures to attach to which scenes.
Spoiler for Realta Nua CG Thoughts.:
Well, on to UBW... after a week off. I can only read Nasu's rambling, wordy writing style for so long without taking a break. "And so you have X... no, more accurately you could say that X is Y but also Z. And if X is X, then its nature is similar to that of YZ. That's just the way XYZ is." |

She can take a little joy in that her route had better images overall. It's just that she wasn't in any of them . Still, all the really good ones were of Shirou, so she should at least enjoy the view... Heeeeey... come to think of it, all the best ones in Fate were of Shirou too! Now I'm starting to wonder whose fans Realta Nua was really aimed at. EDIT: Looking back, Sakura got slightly more pictures than I thought... but still not very good news for her fans, I'm afraid. See, it's one of those ones where there's five in a row, but they're all the same picture with only her facial expression changing... Last edited by Moczo; 2010-08-04 at 12:17. |

Hollow Ataraxia does more justice to Sakura, I say. Although I had no chance to actually see it but from the CGs and spoilers I think that's the case. Perhaps the same for Rider if not even more.
As for Realta Nua I think it did a fair job. Not the best but the extra CGs and the voice acting make the game even more enjoyable. For example the voice acting do quite nice work for Sakura. Her fight with Rin is the best example. If you're too lazy to get to that scene it's still up on youtube. |

I only played with the voices, so I don't know what it was like without. But I know that it would not be the same. The great voice acting really adds a lot. And the actoring are great in the game since they had practice in the anime first, lol.

Only half?
That's because Sakura goes batshit insane as a result, right? Because that's the only thing I can think of that could possibly detract from the enjoyment of seeing Sakura splatter Shinji's brains all over the bed as he tries to rape her.... Quote:

Well, I finally started playing the game 3 days ago...and...just finished the excruciatingly long prologue. It's my first time playing a visual novel and so far it I'm not really enjoying it. Well, I have to admit that Archers fight with Lancer seemed epic, but mostly because of the music and I've seen a lot of kung fu flicks so my imagination creates the most awesome fight scene in my head. Tohsaka going off a tangent didn't help, though. And they all talk really slowly, and have the most long winded conversations ever. Okay, Tohsaka is competitive. I get it.

Unfortunately, the long-windedness never gets better. That's just how Nasu writes... the Tsukihime VN, the Kara No Kyoukai novels, even Notes are all the same way. You will have to take some solace in the fact that Archer and Lancer's prologue fight is possibly the least epic in the game.

As for the speed, it goes as fast you read. I didn't wait for them to finish talking to go on most of the time. But the voices will add a lot as you play. Push through and keep going if you can. And don't browse this topic too much, you don't want to get spoiled. There are some really good twists and turns in this game.

Well I've done Day 1 and I still haven't got past episode two. Seeing Tohsaka's "wtf" face was hilarious though.

To be honest I just want to start reading Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. Is it really worth reading the Fate route or do you reckon I could just go skip happy without much consequence?
[edit] "When I asked him why he hit her, he said that he just hit her because he felt like it. After that I got pissed and did to Shinji what he did to Sakura. Since then we've been estranged. I still don't regret punching him." Hmmmm...maybe it is worth reading the Fate route....
