>super popular franchise>less than one tenth of the people who claim to be its fans have played anything from the main series, they just endlessly consume secondary or tertiary media about itWhat's her name?
>>743258829>>less than one tenth of the people who claim to be its fans have played anything from the main seriessource?
>>743258829Ishtar obviously
>>743258896Ask around in one of those "which servants would you mana transfer with?" threads how many people there actually read FSN and preferably HA as well from beginning to end.
>>743259339these men are pawns
toho
>>743258829I'm not surprised people aren't particularly interested in hours of info dumbs, cringe torture porn that is HF, or cringe comments about women from Shirou.
>>743258829how does this affect you personally?
I wish I could have the time I wasted reading fate/shit back (yes I will spend it on 4chan instead)
>>743258829>less than one tenth of the people who claim to be its fans have played anything from the main seriesno shit, they're VNs
>>743258829Persona
>>743258829TouhouGuilty GearMotherDarkstalkersPersona (somehow)Silent Hilland maybe Fear & Hunger
I'm sorry man but VNs fucking suck I like reading books, I like playing games, but VNs are straight ass.
>>743258829>What's her name?that's Tohsaka Rin from Fate Stay Night
>>743259653I wish Maya was my mom
>>743258829it's disapointing that there aren't much rin tohsaka rape sole male doujin.
>>743258829melty blood?
>>743259704VNs are just like reading comics/manga but with music, sound effects, voiceovers, and some animation. Though, there are games that are presented via a VN style that have actual gameplay.
>>743258829Fate is one of those few series I can actually claim to be a primary of. I never even watched the 2006 anime.
>>743259492I'll never play the games since I hate shmups, but the bossa nova albums are great.
>>743259926Not every girl with long black hair and blue eyes is Akiha, anon.
>>743258829Fate is a weird case too since the original source material is the only thing that’s actually good. It was so good in fact, it spawned an entire multi-media franchise despite being a self published VN of all things. And all of the multi media franchise is slop except the original and HA
>>743260026with takeuchi, you never know
>>7432588294=3>2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>743259926Yes, Nasu is a hack and regurgitates his stories/characters all of the time. Glad you noticed.
>>74325882940k?
>>743260247Meant to post this, but same difference.
At this point I have consumed way more fate media than is possibly health and I don't really give a shit about being called a secondary by the faggots into this series, zero is still the height of the franchise and BB owes me sex
>>743259931The problem for me is that vns take over. With a book I can just read it at my pace .But with a vn I getShwing*screenshake* Uahhhh!!!!*blood effect*My leg!!!!*Shplort shplort shplort*Oh God no!
>>743260530>vns take overare you playing on auto? what the fuck does that even mean?
>>743260530You do know that most have auto/manual and speed settings, right?
>>743260610IIRC most VNs also have a "skip effects" option as well.
>>743258829Rain WorldCasualties UnknownFear and HungerMost jrpgs that aren't final fantasy
>>743260609Read the rest of my post. Sound and visual effects dictate the pace which is butt. You get a thousand hours of *blood splash* followed by *screenshake* and it sucks.
>>743260865you can skip all of thatsounds like a skill issue
>>743258829Touhou. I can guarantee the majority of the fandom doesn't even know it's based on a series of games.
>>743260318>it's another "Akiha poses in front of a window" CG
>>743260610Yes but that doesn't do anything when the vn decides *stab sound* *stab sound* *stab sound* (overly wordy 4 paragraphs describing being stabbed) *screenshake* *stab sound* (evil laughter)
>>743260694I find that unlikely although I could just be a retard.
>>743261037...I think you might be autistic...
>>743261023>M-My 3% jewish DNA GAAAH
>>743261636Even "good" vns like steinsgate bore me to tears. Katawa shojou? You remember that one? The one where people were praising it as life changing? Sucked ass. Spent like 15 hours before giving up on that drivel.
>>743258829Rin is a dyke.
>>743261768Katawa shoujo is an entry level VN that was better than people expected, its not one of the best of the medium. Complaining about VNs is like complaining about movies or books, instead of specific titles or genre
>>743261863
>>743262016
>>743262107
>>743261945I did complain about specific titles. But I'm convinced the problem lies in the medium and not the works. That action scenes and screen shake and typed out sound effects somehow take me out of it.
>>743259653>Silent Hillbut these people have in fact played a silent hill. it's just that they've only played silent hill 2 which makes people seethe.
>>743258829I know this is a stealth Type-Moon/Rin thread but>What's her name?Tifa
>>743261023to be fair, windows are a good source of lighting
>>743258829>FateVNs are shit>>743259492>TouhouBullet hells are shitIf only there was a correlation somewhere. Alas, I'm afraid we might never know for sure.
>>743258829Pokemon.>>743259653>Guilty GearAny fighting game, really.
>>743262236>I hate how books write out sound effects, and how if I shake it around its hard to readIm not saying you'll love any VNs that exist, its a relatively small artform. Im just saying that they are such a general concept that its hard to take criticisms of tropes or specific representations as meaningful of the medium as a whole.Personally, I loved Majikoi and enjoyed Fate/Stay Night, but couldn't get into steins;gate. I'm also a TSF fan, yet couldn't get into the original Xchange trilogy despite really liking Alternative.
>>743262505>another majikoiCHADwe truly run 4chan
>>743262239I think it is that SH2 became the de-facto template of what Silent Hill is in a lot of these peoples' heads, and no, most of the "fandom" post-'00s just watched lets plays, wiki-dived, or played/watched the remake.
>>743262505>Imagine if a book violently shook in your hands when you turned the page.None of those names mean anything to me since I gave up on vns 20ish years ago. Shill me on them
>>743258829it doesnt have a real game you doofus, her best 3d model will now in some gacha collab game
>>743262350Takeuchi was fond of windows as far back as the demo of Tsukihime.
>>743262394>Any fighting game, really.thismortal kombat is known for its movies and fatality compilations, street fighter is mostly known through cosplay
>>743262783can't wait to roll for her!and lose the 50/50!
>>743262791>demoWell, uh, more like the pilot edition, I guess.
>>743258829sauce me download link of the original FSN. Never play it
>>743258829>super popular franchiseYou imagined that. Non-waifu threads don't survive to bump limit.>inb4 but in Japan
>>743262852google.com
>>743262840based and same, the question is: how many times WILL i roll for her?
>>743259375>people who just follow porn of a thing haven't actually engaged with itwow, riveting revelation there anon wanna tell me about how people should be playing overwatch or minecraft too?
>>743262645Silent Hill comes in three main varities: the Mason games, Silent Hill 2, and the rest of them. Which aren't good. Honestly Downpour was serviceable, it just did not fucking run on the PS3.
>>743262913I can only roll for one copy now but I'm not planning to get any future character so I'll keep rolling until I get E2R1
>>743258829Silent HillResident EvilFinal FantasyZeldaFNAFStreet Fighter and all other fighters (look at multiversus LOL)Pokemon
>>743262394>>743262826and Terry Bogard fans know him from Smash or SF6, maybe KoF. No one under 40 has ever heard of Fatal Fury
>>743258829I tried giving the VN a shot but it's fucking dreadful Remember how slow paced the show could at times? There is a whole lot of nothing going on in the game.
>>743264049Not true. There's a lot going on at all times... if you enjoy cooking. I swear it's a cooking VN in disguise. Maybe there isn't even that much cooking objectively but somehow it felt like too much anyway.
>>743258896Me
>>743264169I would love to give the recipes from the VN a shot, but I feel like the differing availability and quality of ingredients would make the results way too bootleg. Like no way in hell that the shit that you can get at the east asian part of the supermarket resembles the real deal in any meaningful way.
>>743264049anon, have you actually read a novel? FSN has a fairly short introduction to establish characters/setting. I swear, this problem keeps getting worse as time goes on. I remember when people bitched about Muv-Luv and then when they even started having issues with Umineko's first episode. Now FSN's first hour is too much for some of you?
>>743265557If people get filtered by the 2-3 hour long prologue from Tohsaka's POV then they stood zero chance of defeating the endless torrent of cooking scenes later on to begin with.
>>743258829The legend of heroes
>>743264169>>743264335There is a reason why the best fate anime is a cooking show.
>>743267402This mogs the VN quite honestly.
>>743267402I don't think I ever seen a woman IRL wear tights with boots.
>>743258829I enjoyed my time with Fate but I honestly don't know if I could bear another replay. Much less HF. Sakura was the only one I lowered voice on. >Senpai!DIE!!!!
>>743267684That's not any woman, that's the king of England!
>>743267684>tights with boots.I think I've seen something similar irl.
>>743267881My King...
>>743267402The manga showed Rin in a butler outfit with the ponytail for some school thing. A bit yuribait with the lillies arround Rin.
>>743269031Nothing beats college Rin for me.
>>743269031>>743269084I prefer her with twintails or a ponytail.
>>743267606It's more based on Hollow Ataraxia (the sequel) which I like a bit more than the actual FSN vn. The way how they live and I think a few chapters and episodes were based on scenes form HA:
>>743258829Anything that doesn't have Shirou as the protagonist is not worth watching or playing.
>>743258829Is Case Files a main series work
>>743258829Slutbag McGee the "defenseless" princess
>>743258829She called RIn, did you play any Fate game ?
>>743258829I know you are saying it because FGO. And I am sorry to tell you, but FGO is the series now
>>743259704they mog jrpgs by the sole virtue of not pretending to be interactive and being better in storytelling with prose
>>743270050no
