Don't quote me on this, but weren't the porn scenes shoehorned later on or something like that? And that Nasu never wanted those in the game in the first place?

They were, pretty much. VNs at the time could only really "sell" using those. It's kinda why they come out of no where. So with or without that, what you see of the heroine's personalities is really what you'll get.

Regardless, there hasn't been any change in characterization at all. Whether or not the VN origins really matter or because all you've seen is F/Z. It kinda comes with the fact she's kinda super awkward with people after she willingly chose to distance herself from everyone because of her role as a magus.

The routes in FSN focus on these aspects:

1) Differences at certain points in time allowing for you to take a specific choice to get onto it. So you are on the mark for small difference cause a snowball for different events.
2) These changes somewhat make Shirou's ideals differ in each of the three routes.

I don't get why people say Zero is ever slow. The first episode I guess, since it's mostly exposition, but after that poo poo starts happening and never really stops. Compared to this which is quite dull aside from the fight scenes.

Zero has a lot happening but does not have a lot of actual plot progression. It doesn't "feel" slow to people because it jumps from Servant team to Servant team so there's a reasonable amount of things to distract. FSN as a whole does not introduce all the Servants right away and also does not focus on certain groups as much due to the very nature of it.

Didn't Caster take Taiga hostage and steal Shirou's command seals in the VN? Or was that just me?

Taiga is taken as a hostage yes, though in the VN they come home from the date and it goes down at the household instead of the bridge IIRC.

I think it's less command seal theft as a whole and more "I ended your contract and formed a new one immediately" which would probably replenish the lost three? It's kind of fuzzy how switching Masters works.
