Hmm, I have a question about this game/papernovel/whatever it is.

So 10 years before his Dad was in this war(Fate Zero)?

It's going to be awesome seeing Alexander The G, but who is Iksander and what is his/her gender?

And what is a homoculus, which I hear Illya is?

Wikipedia is your friend.

Make a guess who's who.

And the novel(s) will be divided into multiple volumes with Vol.1 at 428 pages.

That sounds like a good deal of 'fun' for all concerned.

Thought you're smarter than that and have no need for me to point out the obvious ?

Anyway, there will be no need for a mad rush for this novel comes Comike. It will be in stores by Jan, unless you want the 1000 yen Comike exclusive stuffs.

Shiroth · 2006-12-12, 19:09

I actually went straight to the site after my post - idiot me for being in fanboy mode the second i noticed the image. ^^;;

Hearing its hitting stores that early bring a wonderful smile to me face, though wondering just what comes with the Comiket version is needed before i can be happy.

I want it, but there's no chance in hell I'll get it.

My friend won't go through that line up hell again after what happened last time.

Mainly that material/zero 28-page booklet, which some people would probably kill for. ^^;
(I'm surprised I got Irisviel's romanization right ^^; )

A special new year bookmark is also included, and everything will be handed to you in a specially made Fate/Zero paper bag.

Yes, i'd kill for - though i'm in no state to kill anyone. Hopefully sometime down the line they'll release it seperatly - or we'll get a good old Fate/zero fanbook.

Now.. that paper bag is what i'd kill for. <3

Nightengale · 2006-12-12, 23:50

That pic... Saber, Emiya and Illya's mom should be blindly obvious....Is that Kotomine hogging the background? I don't get the 2 new faces.

Saber should've been wearing a suit in that pic.

Oh don't worry, there's plenty of time for that. Being a huge Saber fan that i am, i'm very much looking forward to it~

Just imagine the PVC's. <3

Nightengale · 2006-12-13, 03:56

Apparently this is going to be done in Kotomine's POV. Boo~

Well, an Emiya POV would be semi-boring, considering he's still in Nanay..I mean hitman mode, and Saber would probably be less cute. The only thing going for him is probably his breakdown into what he became at the end of GW, and probably some thick, angsty mission > luv thing between him and Illya's mom.

I'm not so sure I want to import this now. I still have a MAJOR backlog of Tsukaima and Sauinkoku novels unread.....

Then its understandable that it should be amazingly cool! :3

In a way i believe it works better as a three part Novel, though that means no new music by NUMBER201, which does suck a bit.

Deathkillz · 2006-12-13, 13:37

wow...game...prequel...insane!
just went on the website and seriously the intro to it rocks

too bad even if i do get the game it would be pretty useless for me as i dont understand hell all unless i use a translation program ~ which will take years to complete the game...lol its long enough as it is but to translate every line must be hell and time consuming...

hmm what are the chances of this storyline getting its own series? F/SN is one hell of a cash cow franchise if you ask me :3

Shiroth · 2006-12-13, 13:40

Deathkillz: If you read even a lil' bit about whats been posted, you'll see thats its a Novel.

If it becomes a anime then it does - but many Type-Moon fans like myself shall tell you its better of not happening.

Deathkillz · 2006-12-13, 13:56

well if it isnt a visual novel then shouldnt this info be in the manga thread section considering if its written on paper form?

and why is it better if it doesnt get animated huh?

It probably should be in the Fate/stay Night subforum.

IF you've played the game first like a lot have, you'll understand there's a lot riding on an anime adaptation. Tsukihime & F/SN were done alright.. but nothing all mighty like they should have been. So there's no point in getting my hopes all up for another one.

Kisuke06 · 2006-12-13, 18:53

Well, IMO it's better that it's going to be a novel, not a game, that way maybe a group decide to translate it.

Not that a game can't be translated, but it would take more time to translate a game than a book.

Not really. Fate/stay night is really just a novel in game form with visuals and sounds, whereas this Fate/Zero comes in paper novel format. The fact that they're both novels with lots of texts does not change.

Sure, it can take more time to program a translation patch compared to a scanlation, but the time difference there isn't all that significant compared to the time it'll take to translate a long novel.
