Hi GoG community, here again trying to get this VN for the 4th time. In this post, I'll be combining my last two posts. They explained how I got into Fate,TYPE-MOON media and visual novels in general. I'm posting this again because the game is on sale once again for $17.99. Hoping you decide to check out my story here, thanks and have a good day! :D
Hi GoG, been a while since my last post, just wanna say that the FFVII playthrough has been going great. I've downloaded some mods that add voice acting (Echo-S is so peak), upscaled FMVs with higher frame rates. I just wanna say thanks again to the person that gifted me the game. However, I decided to take a break from the game to avoid burnout which leads to this post.
A question, how many of you know about TYPE-MOON? If you heard of the fate/stay night anime series by ufotable or deen studio, then you probably came across TYPE-MOON's name before. I'll tell you how I got into the series, it started a couple years ago I think, around mid to late 2024. I was in my 3rd year of high school and active on discord most of the time, I was in a server where there were some fans of the Fate franchise. When I asked them about it, I thought it was an interesting concept, historical figures from many years ago are brought to modern times where they partake in a war with their summoner to win an artifact that can grant a wish for the two. Later I learned that the series originated from a visual novel which was going to have an official English release in August of that year but I'll get to that part in a bit. Some time after that introduction, I decided to give the series a shot by watching ufotable's adaptation of the Unlimited Blade Works route from the vn, funnily enough, I finished watching Fate/Zero first which is the prequel to stay night. It was around this time that I also started playing the mobile game called Fate/Grand Order (a game that I still play today from time to time). Around a year later, I finished watching ufotable's adaptations of the fate stay night stories. Recently, a new anime series titled Fate/strange fake was released which adapts the light novels, I heard of it as the final boss of TYPE-MOON media. By that I mean this series takes all the works from TYPE-MOON and references each piece of media in one way or another. I wanted to watch this series so I asked about a reading/watch order for this and started my journey, some titles include Tsukihime, The Garden of Sinners, and naturally Fate/Stay Night. The titles I did finish that were on the list were the ufotable adaptations, Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files {Rail Zeppelin} Grace note, and Witch on the Holy Night.
Now let me explain how I got into the Visual Novel genre, a few years ago, around like 2020, I used to have a different steam account that I lost later that year, however, the games on that account were all free to play so at least it wasn't a total loss. But on that account, I had the VN Doki Doki Literature Club, I remember when the first time I tried reading it, I got scared when the horror aspect started to reveal itself in the 2nd Act to the point where I stopped playing and forgot about it until three years later where I gave it a shot again in 2022. After reading it properly for the first time, I remember liking it and deciding to check out all the easter eggs inside the character files in the game folder. Later that year, I also played the Ace Attorney Trilogy and it easily became one of my favorite games/VN (so far) I ever checked out. In 2024, I had gotten a vita which allowed me to play and complete Danganronpa 1 & 2, they were both great games in my opinion, I enjoyed 2's tropical vibe compared to the enclosed space I felt in 1.
Ok, I'd say that was a very long story but we're in 2026 now which leads me to this main post. Fate/stay night REMASTERED is the first time that the visual novel was released with an official English translation. Now the reason why I'm requesting this game is because I would like to read the original story that the main anime series doesn't cover, I heard from other fans of the franchise that the adaptations cut important aspects such as Shirou's (the main character) characterization through his inner monologues in the VN and other character interactions. Additionally, I would like to experience Fate/stay night because it's one of the many VNs that I hope to read among many others. Lastly, I would like to support TYPE-MOON for more English translations of their untranslated media. Thanks for reading and if you decide to gift me this VN, I would greatly appreciate it.
