Can't say I agree that watching Fate Zero will ruin this, it'll get you into the universe and get you up to speed. Even knowing what you know from F/Z there's still a lot you don't know and a lot of shit to look forward too. Beside that, VNs aren't everyone's cup of tea. You could see it as being ruined, but I see it as adding depth to what were originally horribly portrayed characters and an initially confusing story.
If you can wait for UBW to finish before watching F/Z, go for it. But I don't see any problem with watching F/Z now if you really wanted to.
Wasn't expecting an hour of fate again. I'm gonna look forward to rewatching this with subs after I get back home later today.
I still can't believe we get 24 more episodes of this.
is every episode going to be an hour? I dl'd both episodes, and it kind of surprised me.
No, subsequent episodes will be the standard 24 minutes in length.
I've been told from a few people that the next will also be an hour, but not sure.
I know for sure that even if it is, it's the last hour long one.
It should only be half an hour instead of an hour. Tokyo MX lists it as every week saturday 24:00~24:30 after all.
Also, color me surprised when I saw that heavens feel was confirmed for a movie adaptation by ufotable a while back. I somehow missed this and never even saw it mentioned on /a/ since fate started. I probably would have gone a while longer without knowing this if I didn't suddenly realize that Matou Shinji is also Arararagi and brought myself to ann to confirm it.
Hideki Kamiya is a really famous VA. He's a lot of well known people.
After seeing adorable Illya from Fate/kaleid, it's gonna be tough to see evil Illya again, haha.
It's an exposition episode this week, and even though we went through this already (some of us many times), Ufotable managed to make it interesting still.
This episode is supposed to be where people that watched the original anime but not the VN go "Wait a minute, Shirou isn't an idiot? Or a loser?"
Put me in that group. I never read the VN and thought the same thing when watching it. This Shirou is already better than the original route Shirou based on this episode.
Spoiler: show
VN Shirou is pretty smart, its just the original Stay Night Shirou that was dumb, making TFS Goku look like Regular Goku. Was really hoping the series would be Heavens Feel instead of redoing UBW again but at least it seems they are going all out with it, I can't wait to watch some of the future battles that I'm not gonna spoil on the offchance someone hasn't watched the UBW movie.
So I picked up the VN like 2 years ago and only got through the prologe before I never touched it again. I've only ever touched the MAGES VNs before if I go through it with no guides is it hard to get a certain route?
Not really; There is Fate, which you can't miss; UBW you want to spend lots of time with Rin to get into, and one very specific trigger which was seen at the end of episode 2

Heaven's Feel is a bit more complicated.
You want to spend a lot of time with Sakura, but...

Here's a flowchart if you're still having trouble.

UBW isn't unlocked until you finish Fate, and HF isn't unlocked until you finish UBW.
In the original version, at least. Apparently the latest version has them each as a separate .exe? Not sure on that.
But yeah, just follow the flowchart above ^ It's also helpful for getting all the bad ends, since some of them require pretty obscure fuck-ups to unlock.
Finally beat the fate route. Took me about a week (1d10h playtime) , I miss having 24/7 free time. It had been so long since I watched fate/stay night that I had actually forgotten half of it. I really want to rewatch fate/zero now. I can't decide if I want to play through the ubw route or not though. I'm more than satisfied with not and just watching the anime, but I want to see the hf route for the first time now.
