I see... though with the way series are progressing it feels like if everyting could be over in just those 13 episodes
Never played the game so have no idea what is coming. But it is pleasing to know that there is more to come and that I don't have to worry about series being rushed. Just hope they won't drag it like F/SN

I dont know if this has been asked yet (if so, then sorry):
If servants can materialize and de-materialize, how come they never use it for combat like Nightcrawler character in X-Men do? The principle is almost similar, right? Is there any rules for it? If they DO use it in combat (not spying, etc), please give me some examples/proofs (either from the animes or games).

This is mostly speculation, but I imagine they don't use Spirit Form in combat because, since Servants are already spiritual beings, turning into spiritual form wont act as any sort of protection. It might make them invisible to the master, but since you already need to be able to affect spiritual beings to hurt Servants when they are materialized, turning into...more of a spirit doesn't sound like it would have much of an effect.
But again, I don't have anything to back it up, so if any has any evidence I'm curious to see it as well! |

Mana is the general name for that energy and by definition is incapable of interaction for itself with regular matter. Why they don't attack each other in spirit form ?. Actually they like to use it. Lancer invading Emiya mansion - spirit form and then physical to attack. Assassin as we saw in HF route is the master of this technique. Caster in a few moments also. But remember that while they are in spirit form they are in essence mana so they are pretty much a cute "floating cloud" also as far as I remember in the FSN game I think is Tohsaka that says that in spirit form they can sense another servant but they can't see each other so Im sure it will be really funny to witness two invisible cute clouds of mana going marco.... polo to find each other jejeje.

And like alumnox has mentioned above, there are several Servants who have been proven with this ability in order to form their strategy. And if, the Servant cannot recover mana and/or get mana from his/her Master, he/she has no choice but to materialize, just like Saber in the rest of the F/SN route/anime series.

So I was intrigued by the 1st episode but I never played the game AND never watched Fate Stay Night...will that affect my enjoyment of the prequel in anyway? Basically what I am wondering can the prequel stand as its own story?

Anyway, the long and short of it is that the show is certainly well written enough to stand on its own, so you'll probably still enjoy it, just not as much as you would have if you'd experienced F/SN. The setting and the way it works will be harder to follow too. So if you see yourself ever playing F/SN (the anime was a rather crummy adaptation so it wouldn't make much of a difference on its own) I would recommend leaving F/Z for until after you do it. But if you have no intention of ever doing it, then by all means go for F/Z now, as it should still be fun regardless. |

Thanks, I figured the question might have been asked before but I couldn't find it so I thought I would ask again.
I heard the first anime adaption was bad hence I am not sure if I want to sit through it. As for the game even if I was interested in playing I am not really sure how to obtain it so that's probably out of the question too. I mainly want to watch Fate Zero because the series seems well regarded and I don't want to miss out on a good series; but from the sound of it it doesn't seem like the prequel is completely newbie friendly. Well I wonder how many people like me are watching that are completely new to the franchise.
