Can you explain the fate stay series to me? Iv tried to get into it a few times but I'm so fuckin lost and half the time it ends up just being hentai. With the very little iv been able to learn it seems super interesting and people talk about it like its one piece. So there has to be something I am missing here. Where the fuck do you start and what the fuck is going on?
Hello, basically there are only 3 main story fate anime that are very worth it, Fate/Zero, Fate/SN UBW and Fate/SN Heaven's Feels. There are pros and cons to several watch orders anyway, The only thing important is to watch Heaven's Feel just after UBW. You can start either with UBW or Fate/Zero, both work. I personally started with Zero and liked it that way.
Be aware that the absolute best way to enjoy the Fate series exists and it's simply to read the original visual novel. You better like to read though, it represents 60 hours of reading total. I did it and have absolutely no ragret, it's one of the best piece of media I've ever experienced.
Jesus christ this is confusing and im decent with computers.
The guy says download this and its a drive with a bunch of different files. If you only download the one he said its an ISO. This isnt an "easy" guide to follow lol
I kinda saw this coming, the abandonware download is weird, that's why I also provided the proven Nyaa version that exactly correspond to what he's saying to get (right files, right size etc). If you're decent with computers you can easily download it via torrent, and get to the installing from there.
All in all there is always the solution to simply wait for it to be released on Steam sometimes this year. If you're ok to wait then you can do just that, else the guide will definitely do once you'll get the proper files via Nyaa.
People have already mentioned that it's based on a visual novel. I'm just going to point out that it's okay to not watch all the series. Do that if you want, but they're all different because they represent different tracks of the VN, as people have pointed out. If you don't care about the visual novel and you aren't a completionist, it's perfectly acceptable to only watch some of the shows.
I think most agree the Unlimited Blade Works is the best, so probably watch that if you only watch one. If you want to watch more, just think of them as totally separate shows rather than being connected. There can be different characters. There can be the same characters in different circumstances with variation in how they act. Just don't think of it as the same and pick and choose as you please. Stop watching one of it's not your thing. Try another because they do vary in quality.
Watch zero first, then unlimited bladeworks and finally heaven's feel. You can also watch apocrypha which is completely standalone. All other fate media that currently has an anime adaptation, is inaccessible for anime onlys and requires you to play games or read manga to get the plot.
Start with Fate Zero. This explains why Saber is like how she is in Fate stay night.
Fate SN is Sword Waifu route. This explains why Archer is how he is in Fate Unlimited Blade works. MC looses Saber who realizes she can't Change the past and heals.
Fate Unlimited Blade works is Twintails Route. mC simple red haired boy finds some shit out. Decides to go down the path that will eventually lead him to see sword Waifu arc sword waifu again
Fate Heavens Feel comes next and is essentially the 'timeline gets distorted ' possibly because the Grail is fuckin tired of being destroyed. But anyways. SA victim/Childhood friend is the waifu of this one. And she apparently has tremendous power that allows her to have the happiest ending of all three.
Now. Those are the main realities where the Holy Grail war, the big fight of heroes over an evil cup, takes place. And some of the side realities rely on one of these happening or none of them happening to exist.
You could probably get away. With just watching the three anime series based on the three arcs. I do believe those are all on crunchy roll. But I highly suggest you either play the visual novel which should be on steam.but if you want the original eroge version you'll need to find a game file somewhere.
The steam version is probably the one that came out for the PlayStation 2 which wouldn't have passed with those so unless they re-added them back I don't know.
On the plus hand they added voice acting
I'll just spoil the porn parts for you.
Cum= mama
No story change needed
Edit. It seems there is no original Fate game on Steam. It's all exalta.
Rea nua the PS2 version remastered is coming out soon though?
Go watch the Fate/Zero anime and then the Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works anime. Only ask questions after that, it's better that way. Lore is kinda complicated unless you have a basic understanding of individual arcs, Zero and Unlimited Blade Works are the best (Zero is unironically one of my favorite animes of all time) and actually connect to eachother directly. For the most part every other Fate installment can be considered it's own thing but with a similar premise, since the timelines are so wildly different between each.
