To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

Rejoice! I'm sure that the Vita Patch will take so long to come out that by the time it's downloadable you'll have forgotten most of it anyways!

Can you even patch the vita versions? I thought sony had come down on homebrew stuff pretty hard.

As for Archer encountering the Shadow, that could easily be a similarity to the Fate/UBW timelines; we don't know the details of what happened when Rin and Waver dismantled the Grail.

Also, Archer still has some "memories" of being a Counter Guardian, so if anything similar to Angra Mainyu ever shows up in the universes timeline, its possible Archer had to do cleanup after it. I seem to remember he even says something like "Maybe I can stop it this time", and if he hadn't stopped the Grail in his actual lifetime, he'd be dead before he could become a hero.

tl;dr Archer comes from your heart.

No big surprise as there is pretty much no character more ineffectual than Diarmuid.

Hey, he took out Beserker's NP F-14 with a single strike. He was just cursed with a pair of lovely self-absorbed masters.

Diarmuid is basically destined for the Alleyway Alliance; he and Satsuki are a match made in heaven.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
From what I understand of the complaints about Shirou, it's less that they think he's a whiny teenager and more that they think he's a bland self-insert harem protagonist. Because, well, he does has a harem and the biggest characterization bit he's had so far is that he's too nice. Which is a fairly standard self-insert trait. It'll take pushing him to the point where "too nice" is more obviously a flaw to start seeing him as his own character.

As a tangent, I wonder what these people would think of Shiki, who really does have very little personality when he's not going crazy and stabbing chairs. For that matter, is he going to have a personality in the Tsukihime remake?

Shirou also tends to keep most of his real personality to himself. If he didn't, he'd be Archer. :v:

I don't disagree with that, but from a VN perspective with branching paths it doesn't actually matter if they all love you in the same timeline. Just the fact that it's a possibility, along with being disproportionately surrounded by women, is enough to make it feel harem-esque.

Nah, Shiki's got a personality and it's being a huge jerk AND being bug loving nuts.

Shirou isn't just too nice, he actively has traumatic flashbacks when people suggest to him that he should try smiling. The guy literally needs a trigger warning for happiness.

Honestly having Avalon put in him which is slowly turning him into swords probably isn't doing much for the mentally stable thing.

It's actually not that bad. Sure, it rewrote the very center of his being but it's not like it switched it to something particularly unusual either.

His survivor's guilt, on the other hand, does a fine job all by itself.

Hey guys, quick question. Why do they f*ck with their servants in Fate stay night again? Was it to replenish mana, or was there another reason? Cheers.

Shirou fucks Saber to restore mana since he's a poo poo tier mage.

He fucks Rin to form a contract so he can cast UBW, and then he fucks Sakura because Sakura is a wormslut.

Pretty sure most of them don't, actually, aside from Caster and Kuzuki. There's also a reasonable chance that Shinji rapes Rider, because "rapist" is pretty much his defining character trait.

You will notice that the SUPERIOR mages in the SUPERIOR story of Fate/Zero didn't need to bone their servants. There was ZERO boning servants in Fate/Zero. Homunculi and emotionally distraught partner mercenaries, on the other hand...:heysexy:

Apparently Type-Moon Vocal is a thing:

Part of me really wants it to be true that his subjects would party hard occasionally singing rock-praises to their God-King.

The others I've found though aren't as good I feel, and there doesn't seem to be very many. :(
