Fate/stay night Game discussion (Warning: Spoilers)

[wistfulloner]

Wait, Saber's magical energy drains constantly in the Fate route, so Shirou has to make love to her to replenish it. So why is it even though Shirou never forms a romantic relationship with Saber in UBW , she never disappears or becomes weaker as a result? She even says that her magical energy REPLENISHES OVER TIME in UBW.

Is there something I missed out or is "gaining magic energy only by sex" just a convenient excuse for fanservice in Fate?

She doesn't use Excalibur/Excaliblast in UBW until after she contracts with Rin. In Fate, I believe she's able to keep it at a stable level prior to defeating Rider, and I don't really recall any difference there in UBW.

Yeah but, in UBW Saber doesn't just keep it at a stable level, she even regenerates. If I remember correctly, that was when she was still Shirou's servant, so that's a contradiction right there.

Can someone remind me what did Archer say to Shirou in HF, while abandoning his desire to kill him?
If anyone can find this moment anywhere (youtube, etc.), please post here, thanks.

Archer (To Shirou): "So you survived huh? Well you didn't touch the main body so the most that it can do to you is make you ill"
Saber: "Archer, do you know what that shadow is?"
Archer: "Who knows? But one thing is clear - That shadow is what's been draining the life from the townspeople ever since Caster's death. It seems this is no time to pursue personal grudges, isn't that right Emiya Shirou?"
Shirou: "What?"
Archer: As for what that shadow was, your intuition is correct. Hmph, I'm summoned a servant but I'm to fight it after all.
Saber: "Archer, who are you?"
Archer: "I see. You're not a guardian yet so you must not have fought something like that before. Man it seems i'll be doing the same thing no matter where I go."

Heaven's Feel 7th Day - Gap between the two.

I'd post a youtube link to the scene but I'm not sure that's allowed. Just search for it.

[Aqua Knight]

I copied it from what I read whilst playing it. (There's no way I could remember that much detail)

Unlimited Blade Works was not at all subtle about that revelation.

[DragoZERO]

I suspected it when I was playing Fate, UBW merely confirmed it.

[Aqua Knight]

I first watched anime and then read some spoiler about Archer was Shirou and I was truly astonished.

[alumnox]

Believe it or not just a few minutes ago I finished playing Fate/Stay night pc version with the English patch and start reading the fate /zero novel but a question is tormenting my soul .

In the end of the heavens feel ending Rider tells Tohsaka that she needs to talk to her in private and Tohosaka says that they can chat at her house the next day.

What is Rider question or about ? what they need to talk about ?

[DragoZERO]

Anyone know a way to play this on an Apple computer?

[Jaden]

No easy way.

There's a way to port the game to ONScripter, which is available for mac (source: http://tangerine.sweetstyle.jp/?eid=528334 , I can't translate it well though) , also people have been experimenting with that on tablets and hacked PSPs and whatnot. Though it always means low resolution, no effects, font problems etc.

Or you could just get windows for your mac, setting up some kind of dual boot. Never done that myself.

[DragoZERO]

You can put Windows on an Apple computer easily, but it costs like $200, lol.

[Cherry_Lover]

Well, there's an obvious solution for that....

[DragoZERO]

Not everyone supports that solution, ya know. And it's not like you can use an old Windows XP disc since you can't activate the OS anymore, lol.

[Cherry_Lover]

Well, if you've paid for a copy and they won't let you activate it, then what is wrong with breaking the activation system so you can get around that, or obtaining a copy of the product you legally purchased (and which is not even end of life yet) in a manner that allows you get around their ridiculous DRM?

After watching Fate/Zero Episode 1 I can't help but feel that there were some aspects that should have been covered in Fate and UBW route. Namely Sakura's situation which was only revealed in HF, honestly I felt that the Fate and UBW routes simply brushed her aside. And sort of makes you wonder what kind of life she has after the war.

Out of the 3 heroines I dislike Sakura and yet I feel her character needs to be concluded in the other routes.

Spoiler for Fate/Zero:

From the first episode you already find out that she has the worms at what age 7... Seriously someone needs to kill Zokan

I also don't feel that one route is more important than the rest...

Well it's true. All route are equally important, and that's what I like about Fate stay night.
