I like (in the 'it's funny' sense) how they keep coming up with new Sabers that look just like the original Saber.

ShinsoBEAM! posted:I looked up the first game and it is coming out in Oct in NA, is it worth getting? Arcueid as Berserker is pretty funny I got to say. There was a mini-discussion on it a while back, the gist is that it's Persona 3 with Servants and a not-as-good battle system. So make your decision based on that.

You think that's badass, wait until the actual fight. Anyway, yes, the manga changes some things up a bit, some of it to fit the new fact that it's a manga, some of it just for different storyline details. Overall it's the best version of the Arcueid route that exists.

Question: Assuming I have a working understanding of Japanese grammar, how useful would reading VNs be for improving my Japanese overall in terms of vocabulary and more esoteric forms of speech?

UBW is about Shirou and Archer. HF is about filling in backstory. Fate is about... um, Saber, I guess?

WickedIcon posted:I'm not sure if there is enough As someone who does not like most of Heaven's Feel, one of my favourite moments in that route comes when after he's defeated Saber and is preparing to stab her with the Azoth Dagger, and he has this internal monologue about how he's sacrificing literally everything for Sakura's sake and it just isn't worth it - but he'll do it anyway, because he loves her.

The sad part (for me) is that I like Tsukihime's story and characters a lot more than FSN's, but in terms of production values FSN completely blows Tsukihime out of the water. One of the reasons why I've been eagerly waiting for the Tsukihime remake. Since it was announced in 2008. With absolutely no other details. (I also kinda want to get into Muv Luv, but it looks to be way too long for me to start right now.)

WickedIcon posted:For what it's worth, you can completely skip the first two routes of Tsukihime and just read the manga instead, which cuts out a pretty solid chunk of the playtime. It basically throws Arcueid's route and the (very few) necessary bits from Ciel's route, along with a few plot points from the other three that aren't really expanded upon, in a blender and comes out with distilled loving awesome. This is true, except that Tsukihime is set up so that you need to complete one Near Side route before you can access the Far Side routes. I suppose one could do Ciel's route after reading the manga to see the ending(s) for her path.

There is that one bad ending in Fate where you have to consistently go out of your way to be a rear end to Saber in order to get.

Endorph posted:If you liked F/SN, including the cooking scenes and stuff, play Tsukihime. Everytime Tsukihime gets brought up here I will pimp the Tsukihime manga. Read the manga.

If Tsukihime 2 consists entirely of Shiki (and Arcueid and Ciel) running around murdering the hell out of vampires I will take it and like it. ^ WickedIcon knows whats up. Tsukihime manga is fantastic.

I was reading the NeoGAF thread on Katawa Shoujo and aside from the dude who was whining about this being insulting towards disabled people, one of the things that struck me was that this is the first VN for a fair number of the people there and they kept posting stuff about being confused about how the choices worked and everything. It was kinda  to me, although I'm not sure this was a good choice for a first VN.

I wish there were less VNs (and well, stories in general) where the overarching conflict is not entirely dependent on the protagonist being a moron.

Nate RFB posted:The supposed ableism of the work is another matter entirely, and I do feel that so far (having finished Shizune and Hanako) that the main character has bothered me a few times. His disability is downplayed quite a bit, and hardly ever impacts his actions at all. It feels like a somewhat superficial justification so far for having a "normal" person inserted into this environment if the reason for him actually being there is irrelevant to the story at hand (I'm sure this will be different in the other routes). So, his perspective on this is somewhat suspect in my opinion. That said, I think the game has done a good job so far on not fetishizing any of the girls which is what I was never really excited for the game in general. Well, Emi and Lilly's routes (especially Lilly's) have Hisao's health issues being bigger part of his life than in the two routes you mentioned, so maybe that helps?

slouch posted:Call me crazy but this Aaeru person seems to make plenty of decent points. Why does JAST want to discourage fan translation of unlicensed titles? And is it not shady as gently caress that JAST's business model seems to be buying up already existing fan translations for pennies on the dollar just to re-release them for a profit? Visual Novels in the united states wouldn't be a market worth tapping at all if it weren't for groups of fans who have taken it upon themselves to open up VNs to a larger market. I don't think 'wanting fan translations to be left unimpeded' is the crazy part, it's... well, everything else.

If you want more Tsukihime, you should check out the manga. It's basically the Arcueid route except with better pacing, characterization, artwork, and 200% more badassery.

Fenrir posted:That said, F/SN had a better overall plot and better characters (especially in the villain department, you're dead on there). Villains is one thing I'll agree with, but most of the characters in F/SN bored or annoyed me compared to Tsukihime's cast.

Silver2195 posted:My thoughts on Tsukihime so far: Unlike FSN, there're minor route choices in Tsukihime. It's still fairly structured, but you can initially choose one of two paths during the first playthrough, and those early game choices can contribute to that. (Although strangely enough, you can end up on the Ciel route on the basis of choices that never actually mention Ciel in any capacity at all.)

But... Magic Eyes are an actual Thing in the setting. You can't just write it off like that. Almost every character of any significance in Tsukihime comes with severe mental issues. And I'm not talking Saber's 'oh I have sacrificed my life as a person to live as a King' issues, I'm talking 'I am this close to flipping the gently caress out and murdering everything in a five-mile radius' issues.
