That was setting up something completely different, namely that the sheath was inside of Shirou's body all along.
You'd have to completely rewrite Gilgamesh as a character, his interactions with the cast, and the thematic relationship he has with Saber as fellow "kings".

HA is basically a dream but the characterization in it is canon to the FSN characters. Zero being non canon is cope from people who hate it. Several details of the LN and ufo's adaptation of it don't line up 100% with flashbacks and events described in FSN. Fans point this out to Nasu, and in response he lazily waves it off as a separate timeline, because fans always care about canon more than the creator. The events of Zero very much apply to FSN as far as Nasu is concerned, with whatever discrepancies being retconned to fit. I say all of this while despising Zero and its characterization of saber.

To be fair, the way FSN is structured is quite tedious. It's basically a diary with every meal, every bedtime, every routine training described in excruciating detail. A lot of those are just repeats of each other.
But yes, they do provide heartwarming scenes and moments of levity.

Chuunige are cringe games with horrible hamfisted and absurd writing, where the appeal is that it's supposed to be "cringekino". The reality is that they are just cringe and poorly written games.

Okabe is a chuuni, but Steins;Gate is not a chuunige, and that's a good thing.

The House In Fata Morgana. The praise I often see for this VN may it be here or on other social media platforms is how it doesn't feel like the average fanservice-y otaku VNs. This is the fastest way to identify people who've either never read visual novels or worse, ironic weebs who never liked the medium to begin with.
Those people get fooled by smoke and mirrors; just because the artstyle has a strong western look does not change the writer and developer's country of origin, and fatamoru is filled to the brim with anime tropes and otaku pandering, even. Nothing against the story itself but anyone who's read door 5, 6 and 8 should know what I'm talking about. Almost all romantic scenes with Giselle, her incessant marvel quipping in door 8, the part where you are jokingly asked to pick your waifu between the three main relevant girls, and many more.
Just because the writing was flowery within the first 2 doors (the localization team got sloppy mid-way around door 3) and suddenly posers feel like they need to come out of the woodwork and claim that this is what all VNs should strive to be.

Going on a tangent here but it reminds me of the astroturfing behind Expedition 33. For me personally, it mogs most JRPGs gameplay-wise by virtue of having mechanics similar to M&L games in regard to the combat, and frankly I just hate the depthless cinematic turn based systems that have been plaguing the genre for almost 40 years now. But I can't stand behind the uncultured masses who praise it for its overall aesthetic or vibe and think it elevated the medium, just because it tried to look like your average ugly western AAA game instead of looking like anime. Particularly grating when the art direction was really poor but decent for unreal engine 5 standards, however it still doesn't hold a candle against what Lies of P did with UE4. In reality clair obscur is just as kino most shonen stories, it has the usual jrpg and anime writing tropes.
>>
>>729817257
>just cooking with sakura
I thought those were a sneak peak into a childhood friend route, turns out Sakura is not childhood friend FL at all, instead she's clingy jealous girl, the worst archetype ever invented. (Saber and Rin were jealous too, but for some reason when they do it it's cute, Sakura's way is just endless walking on eggshells and spinning a web of lies all to not trigger her)
