That's the point, though, it's not in the game. If you just like FGO, you don't have to care about Kotomine because he's literally only found on CE art. His character means nothing to FGO.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with "play other Fate games because they are cool." The other games are cool. I'd recommend everyone play CCC if it wasn't exclusively in Japanese; hell, I'd LP it if I didn't have a job and LPs were still a thing and not totally paved over by Twitch. But there is zero required familiarity for FGO, and all the best moments in this game we are talking about in this thread stand on their own.
i dont think anyone thinks there is required familiarity, they just want a bit more context on some characters who get underexplored in fgo

It have a sequal called kagetsu Tohya, a slice of life sequel.

Kagetsu Tohya is the visual novel I had probably had the most fun playing, gameplay-wise. It was fun trying to find all the various things that could happen, unlock secret routes, make things happen that couldn't happen on the last playthrough, etc. Is Hollow Ataraxia anything like that or is it a more traditional Fate or Tsukihime style?

If you've made a purchase of Saint Quartz then you shouldn't have any reason to be afraid.

It's like click this new icon on the map to view this scene and unlock more with it.

The mini games are really fun though.

this is exactly the way kagetsu tohya played, so I guess I'll have to go for it when I get some free time, thanks.

Is finding an all-ages patch hard, or was it made recently enough for nasu to not stick in random sex scenes?

Probably just referring to that if you bought some quartz, they have much more on file about you and it's much easier to get your account back from support if you lose access to it, even without a transfer password.

there are sex scenes but only one is mandatory and it's sort of story-significant in a spoilery way

there's one sex scene in hollow ataraxia and then a bunch of ones that are in a special menu/you have to specifically go out of your way to see

I've had some ups and downs with both versions of FGO lately.

On the downside, I've possibly lost my JPN account. Something weird happened when I was transferring account between devices to buy quartz. According to the original device the account has been transferred but the new device is in the tutorial. I've sent my recovery request to support and they got back to me requesting more information which I have provided.
My worry is I don't know which device counts as the latest so I sent both details which may confuse them.
If I lose that account it'll be quite a bit of money down the drain but on the bright side it will quite a bit of phone memory and game time freed up.

Important reminder to people to both do a quartz purchase for the records as well as keep an up-to date list of all your servants and their levels. If my account recovery is successful my list of all my servants and partial level records is likely to have been a significant factor in it. If it fails it's likely due to the device confusion.

Also remember to bind your accounts again each time you do a transfer.

On the bright side, I just got Waver on the english version, second ticket on septum gacha, first five-star on that account.

Keeping am accurate up-to-date list of current servants and their levels is going to be nearly impossible IMO, especially as your roster starts to expand as more and more content and banners get released.

i just take a pic of my current support lineup every week or two and dump it on puush (if i've made progress), most of them don't change too much so that's at least a handful of servants saved as a record

True enough, my list was mostly out of date due to the exp from Nerofest. Probably easier/better to maintain a list of servants who are at their max level or current ascension cap.
