    my experience with fate is kinda similar with yours, although my motivation to start the vn was a bit different. Started with zero then ubw back in hs since thats apparently the popular way to start the franchise. Fell in love with it and I realized the HF trilogy was in the second movie, I started the vn because I knew I couldnt contain my excitement if I have to wait for the final movie. Then I cried, alot, reading the damn thing. I hope the official localization will turn anime only people to people who fell in love with the series, just like what it did to me.

    If time-machines existed, I would use it to plan and make films that needed to happen. Such as a Frankenstein horror-thriller blockbuster adaptation that would've done justice to the book and released in 2001 (on the 1931 film's 70th anniversary). And the cast would be choices like Leonardo DiCaprio as Victor Frankenstein and Matthew McGrory as The Monster.

I got into fate in high school almost 20 years ago now, when Deen first came out so I had to watch through fansubs before localization. Despite deens problems I still felt some of the majesty of fate route shine through enough for me to continue having warm nostalgia for it even after I read the vn. Kenji kawaiis ost and of course the voice actors we know and love so well put their all in. My first nasuverse thing was unfortunately the tsukihime anime but the less said about the better 😅 it was a long time coming but I'm glad tsuki is in a better place now. Red garden when nasu?

      You may be confused because when I said "return", I'm referring to a sequel. It'll probably never happen, but I think the world is interesting enough to merit a sequel. My opinion on the remake is the same as the OG more or less. I prefer the art style of the OG over the remake, but they're fundamentally the same game so I can't really complain.

      That's a better way to phrase it yeah, like the skill floor feels pretty intimidating, but it's actually feasible once you get past the early entry barriers. At the same time, I never know where to land on Souls difficulty other than maybe bosses. Feels like every game has reasons to be the hardest, and it's down to preference.

    The biggest reason that the show Heroes fell off was the Writers' Strike. They lost all of their creative brain-trust. No show on TV was hit harder by that than Heroes.

    • @ViviVariety
      @ViviVariety 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I tried to find more evidence for this, but all the evidence points more towards Kring. The biggest tell is in the special features of Season 2, where Kring outlines his original vision for Season 2, and his hail Mary to change the ending. They already shot the original ending after all. To me, that strikes me more of Kring making an executive decision rather than the Strike affecting the entire writing team. If there's more evidence suggesting that the entire writing staff changed post season 2, then I'd be more open to your interpretation. Could always be a bit of column a and b.

    It's funny you used the story of King Arthur for the idea of adding a random new character to the story that's the main character's best friend who's so cool... because that's literally who Sir Lancelot is. A character added by later french writers wanting to add new drama to the old tales.

    • @ViviVariety
      @ViviVariety 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Oh yeah absolutely, I was actually surprised to find out that's literally how the Arthurian legends were; basically guys adding more lore and OCs to the pile from back then to now until ultimately "cannonized" to what we see now. I definitely meant that but to be a bit of a multilayer tongue in cheek joke, but in hindsight I could've read the initial line with more sarcasm added to sell it better lol. I even debated adding Lancelot himself in place of Edward before settling on the Jarhead because it was a tad funnier. I guess I underestimated how many viewers would've caught the Lancelot-Kris connections xD oh well, hindsight is 20-20.

    Well, we won't have to wait long for the next adaptation. Guillermo Del Toro is putting one out next year. I wasn't crazy about the Penny Dreadful Frankenstein. I couldn't get past the way everyone cringed away from him, as though this lightly made up fellow with contact lenses was an unspeakably horrifying monster. I understand the limits of television, and in general, I'm always eager to suspend disbelief. But it felt more like the show wasn't willing to let the character be truly monstrous, because they wanted to make him crushable like all the other characters. Yet they wanted to have their cake and eat it too, so they kept pushing the idea that he was horrifyingly monstrous through other characters' reactions. His supposed monstrousness, and the isolation it engendered, was the crux of his character. Yet it was about as believable as putting glasses on a glamorous movie star and then claiming they're a homely, unpopular nerd. The cognitive dissonance was too great, and it broke immersion again and again.

    I am surprised you didnt mention the big adaptation problems in unlimited blade works real lack of inner dialouge and exposition from the character leave alot unawanswered and not understood especially when it comes to shirou who looses 70% of his entire character when his lacking all of his important inner dialouge they are a VERY crucial part and even the heavens feel movies which dont fully focus on shirou himself as they cut most of the other characters just for sakura STILL include those inner dialouge scenes because they are THAT important for the story

    • @ViviVariety
      @ViviVariety 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Oh trust me, I debated long and hard about how much to delve into Ufo's UBW issues on inner monologues. I ultimately decided against it because the very next section explored the inner monologue problem and it would've felt redundant, and to be honest it's present in ALL the Type-Moon adaptations to some degree. Even KnK suffers because Shiki and especially Mikiya get next to no inner monologues, and like Shirou, their characters suffer...although Shiki obviously still gets ample characterization, so it's less of an issue for her. UBW is unique in that it's arguably the one that suffers the most because it's essentially the Shirou route, so I'm in agreement that Ufo's handling of it is particularly bad. You know it's bad when the anime director fiat out says "yeah I didn't quite understand Shirou". BRUH that's the MAIN character lol. In any case, I share the same opinion as you, and my goal is to hopefully explore Ufo's issues later down the road because it's a genuine criticism. Sometimes I feel like I go hard on Ufotable enough as is in past videos, so at times I try to temper the critiques so it's not just "Ufo dropped the ball" ad nauseum, if that makes sense.

    Ever since I heard the 2012 New Dawn in your FE Franchise and Gintama videos, always asked myself when you'd do a Fate/Stay Night video. And we're *FINALLY* here! 22:58 Bazett "These Hands Are Rated E For Everyone" Fraga McRemitz. Amazing. Everytime I hear the lines "Humans can't fight Servants" I look at characters like Bazett (with others) and say "Stop the cap, Nasu." I always wanted to get into the Fate franchise but didn't know where to start. Always saw it as "That one anime series with the blonde knight in blue with the movie budget fight scenes." in the distance. My 1st step in the Fate/Nasuverse rabbit hole would be F/SN UBW Abridged by Project Mouthwash (My *CLOSE* 2nd favorite abridged). That along with Melty Blood lead me to my *real* 1st step, the Tsukihime manga (Which I read in October 2020. Fitting, no?). To say I fell in love with that manga would be an *understatement.* Basically sold my allegiance to both Shiki Tohno (favorite Nasuverse MC) and Arcueid Brunestud (Favorite Tsukihime girl). Then I found the original VN and played it. I *LOVED* that VN! Imagine my reaction when the remake was officially announced the day I finished the OG in its entirety (Then I shortly followed through Kagetsu Tohya afterward). Wasn't until July 16th 2022 that I FINALLY got the F/SN Ultimate Edition VN to work on my laptop. That VN was a *TRIP!* If I wasn't already mesmerized by the VN's budget increase from Tsukihime, then it was the cool and memorable cast, awesome moments and visuals, and the amazing OST by KATE. Followed that up with reading HA, and that was also a pretty great fandisc sequel! Wasn't until earlier this year that I watched UBW's ufotable anime for the 1st time in its entirety. I know you said that the anime can't replace the VN and all that, but Vivi you *GOTTA* admit that ufotable went *above and BEYOND* to give the VN justice and then some! If they cooked this well for my favorite route, I can't wait to see what they did with my 2nd favorite route HF! And yeah, now I'm a dude who's just got his limited edition for the Tsukihime Remake, need to read more of Mahoyo before the movie comes out, and stuck in the FGO Rabbit Hole/Trap. Now for my 3 favorite OG Servants: 1. *Archer.* 2. *Lancer.* 3. *Rider.* Can go into more detail if you wanna ask...

And yet despite that, this dude can take out the big shots of the Nasuverse with them just by being a dude with a switchblade knife. 2. His view on the fragility of life. Thanks to his eyes he feels like nothing in this world matters since in his words "the whole world could perish in an instant". Because of that, he holds on to the believe on the importance of living a good life and he does what he can to preserve and improve the lives of others.

    This is a great video! Visual novels/novel games are my favourite medium for stories, and I love Fate/stay night so very much. Shirou and Saber are two of my favourite characters of all time, including a whole chunk of the rest of the cast too. It’s such a shame that the medium is so niche and hard to sell at times to people. Like you’ve said in the video, I just want to share this wonderful story (and its sequel) with everyone! Hope to see the official localisation bring in more people to the novel, and Type-Moon’s other works. Maybe the VN medium as a whole too. I’m glad to have found a high quality video to send to any friend who becomes interested in Fate, but is scared away by its ‘confusing to get into’ reputation.

    Had to reupload cause I was an idiot and forgot to fix some stuff…but in any case, there’s one thing I wanted to mention, but I cut it out because of the (upcoming) Remaster release! When it comes to the FSN VN, a common question is “which version should I read?”. In short, there are two* versions of Fate available. -The first is the original 2004 release. It’s the OG, complete, unabridged story, but the key thing is that FSN was originally an 18+ eroge (aka adult material) novel. From what I could research, Nasu originally didn’t want to include adult content, but Type-Moon was insistent that the market had no room for a non Eroge novel. This could be an urban legend, so feel free to let me know, I also wouldn’t be surprised if this were just baloney. -Later, Fate was re-released as Fate/Stay Night: Realta Nua, which is an updated remaster that retains all the core story elements, adds some new content, and includes voice acting along with updated music. But this version was rewritten to replace all the 18+ content with new scenes. This has some…mixed results, which I’ll explain in a bit. Now, while it’s easy to say “just read the version you want”, it should be noted that the OG VN is, for all intents and purposes, impossible to get. The Realta Nua version is the one that gets ported all the time in Japan, and while the worldwide release isn’t out yet, it’s almost certainly going to be the Realta Nua version. I’ll see for myself and update this note once it’s actually out. It’s also the reason I omitted this section from the video. But that said, Realta Nua is by all means the “canon” version of Fate; I know everything in the Nasuverse is canon, but in many of other nods and references across the Nasuverse almost always refer to the Realta Nua version. As for the OG vs Realta Nua changes, there isn’t a real consensus, and it depends on who you ask. As for my two cents, the adult content in the original is honestly written really poorly, and scenes that should be emotional or intimate just come off as comical in my humble opinion. There’s a place for adult content in the story, but I do wish it were just given proper respect and effort. However, the Realta Nua replacements have a broad range, ranging from “awkward and clumsy” to “this is actually really cute”. There is one scene in particular I vastly prefer to the original, but the rest is pretty hit and miss. …BUT, the most important change when it comes to OG vs Realta Nua is in the form of Heaven’s Feel. There’s an argument that Fate and UBW don’t really need adult content, but Heaven’s Feel has adult content as a pretty major focal point, and the Realta Nua changes make for a story that has less impact and stakes in my opinion. The story still works and is still incredible, but I think even the average reader will read the Realta Nua version of Heaven’s Feel and notice scenes that were blatantly darker or more intense. However, in the meantime, there is one option available to prospective readers right now: The Fate Stay Night Ultimate Edition. This is a fanmade version of Fate that has the best of both versions, and has many options so that you the reader can customize the experience how you see fit. If you want to experience the OG VN text with updated visuals and the Realta Nua soundtrack, it’s an option. Or if you prefer the Realta Nua text but want the OG Heaven’s Feel text, and a mix of OG and Realta Nua music, that’s a-okay too. It’s my preferred method as well. For what it’s worth, all the footage you see in the video were my recordings with the Ultimate Edition. It can run on toasters, it looks gorgeous, and it’s definitely my preferred way to experience Fate/Stay Night. I intend to buy the official version to support Type-Moon, and I encourage others to do the same, but I think the benefits of the Ultimate Edition are too good to pass up. I can’t link it here in case the Type-Moon ninjas get on my case, but I promise you the Ultimate Edition is easy to find, and easy to install. Just be sure to support the official release when the time comes. Also go read the Tsukihime Remake! It’s finally out!

      I've also heard that allegedly Takeuchi was the one pushing for H-scenes, and may or may not have wrote them lol. I also wouldn't be surprised if the translation probably doesn't do them justice, and at the end of the day, it was a net positive, so can't really complain to be honest. I guess ideally I'd prefer either well written H-scenes (like Hollow Ataraxia...as I've *ahem* heard...) OR better replacement scenes with more effort, if that makes sense.

    Well I think that both have a lot that could have been improved like for the Dark knight rises I remember theses early rumours that being it would be based on Batman: Prey where Hugo Strange is the main villain or the other being that Johnny Depp as the Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin and for BVS they could have used that no legged man as that version of Metallo instead of Doomsday and recast Lex and the Flash as they don’t feel right and don’t really fit in. But at least that Rises, Bruce gets the happy ending that he so deserves and maybe have kids with Selina. How about do a video on Old Man Logan Adaptations because I think that Deadpool and Wolverine has references to it when it comes out. Which movie were Hero vs Hero works like BVS, Captain America:Civil War and L.A. Confidential?

    • @ViviVariety
      @ViviVariety หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dude I'd have loved for Hugo Strange to be the final villain of the trilogy. My young teenage brain was also pulling for Hush, but looking back that seems ambitious lol. I also agree that Metallo sounds like an awesome pick for a BvS villain. I admit I'm not super knowledgeable with Marvel, and the X-Men in particular are a pretty big blind spot, but still, sounds like a good topic. As does the "Hero v Hero" trope. After I finish the next string of planned projects I think diving into different kinds of tropes and interpretations of tropes would be a cool side project!

      ⁠@@ViviVarietyso you might do the Old Man Logan Adoption then after Deadpool and Wolverine comes out and probably look at the previous X-Men movies first because I have a feeling it’s going to be the No way home equivalent of it as they brought the actor who played Pyro from X2 and the Last Stand in the first trailer speaking of No way home I recommend that check Tumbler on the Misconception of Norman Osborn and most of all Logan as that was supposed to be Old Man Logan movie.

    • @ViviVariety
      @ViviVariety หลายเดือนก่อน

      I actually thought about including it, but with Frankenstein adaptations in particular I wanted to be careful about how deep I wanted to go in the rabbit hole, if that makes sense. There's a LOT of Frankenstein films, so I needed to focus on the most important one, namely the 1931. Otherwise things like Bride of Frankenstein, the Kenneth Branugh one, Spirit of the Beehive, etc, are all worth talking about. Honestly though there also isn't too much I could say about the 1910 film, but it's still a neat part of film history. Maybe someday if I cover all the Frankenstein films I'll get a chance to talk about it!

      Me too, that's why I always liked the Bernie Wrightson illustrations of the Creature. Not only are they really creepy, but they're also drawn in a way to where you can see the growing humanity as the story progresses. I don't mind the 1931 Creature design, but I do wish that other variations leaned more to the book version. I think nailing the grotesque nature AND the humanity is critical.

      I dunno about subtle, literally the first act of Rises is a direct homage to The Dark Knight Returns, not to mention the ending. That's as subtle as a brick to the face. The Bane fight I can definitely see as less of an overt reference considering the whole "lose the first fight, fight again stronger" is common just about everywhere.

    It’s amazing to me how you go from feeling like the game is SO hard, and feels impossible to progress in the first level… to BREEZING through the first level with ease even on new playthroughs… but you didn’t get faster, your reactions didn’t change, nothing about your inner motor skills had to improve for you to get the game.. you just start to understand how it all works and you learn to swim with the current. It’s like everything about the game changes and you venture into new areas with confidence, but you didn’t need to learn how to have god aim or god speed or anything to do it. Just experience and adjusting to what you encounter

That's really it. I don't even think DS2 is much harder than any other From game, but it just doesn't feel fun to play for me. Combat in particular is the big sticking point for me, it's the same reason I abhor playing Birth by Sleep these days. I do really like the lore and the ideas it included however. Having more changes in NG+ and power stancing need to be mainstays.
