But, yeah, this pretty much covers it. He was playing around. Killing her at that point was both risky to him (because he would have been discovered) and unnecessary. |

The different endings are nice to see as well. Like one bad ending in HF is Saber's ending, more or less. But, you learn more about the story from the Dojo featurettes, plus get more out of the story. Just follow the flow chart, it's not hard, just a little time consuming.

It's not so much Archer following the wrong path, because he did everything that he could to save lives, and saving many at the cost of the few is never the wrong choice. If Shirou were to fall in love with Rin, it would have prevented him from being willing to go out of his way to save lives, thus preventing that fated incident in which that one of the many he saved cried out against him for those he had killed.

Well, Archer certainly thinks that he did. Quote:
Also, as a human, we naturally care about some more than others. For Shirou not to fall apart, he has to care about people, and it's impossible to care about someone if you'd let them die as soon as they become a potential danger to others. Plus, who gave Shirou the right to decide to kill someone because they're a potential danger? Furthermore, not all lives are equal. If you had ten Shinjis and a Sakura and you had to save one group or the other, then to me you should sacrifice the Shinjis every damn time, because Sakura has never had a chance at life and has done nothing to deserve death, whereas Shinji has had a chance, and has fucked it up.

Of course, Shirou wasn't as far gone as Saber was, but it's the same idea. Rin forces Shirou to actually value himself and have fun, much like Shirou does to Saber in Fate.

Well I finally fgot round to finishing the Fate route. It was better than the anime in many ways. A lot of the concepts were far more developed and Sabers backstory was much more touching. And plus they didn't have that bafflingly stupid Caster arc, that I couldn't make any sense out of. Though, I still don't quite understand Shirou's logic for rejecting Kotmine's proposal for the Holy Grail. So what if all the memories of the pain that happened no longer exist? Isn't that the whole point? the bad endings were good in giving an anti-climatic "You could die at any moment" feeling. But honestly I didn't come across a bad ending anywhere near as good as the first one.
On to Unlimited Blade Works...

Heh... I, like so many others, went back through after I finished and got them all on purpose to see all the Tiger Dojos. It really is hard to top that first one for sheer creepiness, though. Kids are scary!
Though not as scary as the fact that some of the ones in HF do manage to top it. |

The MoS ending is still my favourite "bad" ending. I didn't get it on my playthrough though, as I always tried to do my best to save Sakura.
I couldn't avoid this one though. Spoiler for HF spoilers:

I think I worked out pretty damn quick that it was not going to work that way in HF. Spoiler for HF:
Spoiler for HF:
Well, I believe I dodged that one (by sheer chance), although I think I'd already seen it (out of curiosity) when coming from Fate. But, there are a couple of bad ends that are just sheer blind luck whether you avoid them. Quote:
