Man, TH-cam is so annoying, I have no idea why it didn't notify me you commented anything! Anyways, I'm actually completely blind on Fate/Zero! I know snippets of it, but nothing more than the Servant cast and that Kiritsugu and Kirei participate in it! So nope, no idea what said plot twists are yet :) Then lastly, quick update on the Weapon/Servant showcase, just finished up Fate earlier, taking a wee editing break before I get the UBW half done! I just checked up on it, that first part is an hour long already, my goodness.

​@@BackloggedYGOjust remember zero is alternate timeline to FSN. It's not a direct prequel to FSN but urobuchis interpretation of the events of the 4th war both his interpretations of the wider plot and the details of the characters. (Certain 'returning' characters are frustratingly written completely differently based on their surface level traits rather than their actual characters in FSN because of urobuchi wanting to write his own interpretation of them. Which has lead to a lot of anime only misinterpretation over the years regarding the ideas and character intentions of fate overall) So the general characters involved and final result are similar enough, but the details are considered completely different in many ways. So whenever you get around to zero try and take it as its own thing specific to urobuchi and a generalized glance of the 4th war rather than a cemented statement on what the events before FSN actually were.

Yeah, I've heard a billion mixed opinions on thoughts regarding Fate/Zero, I've heard it seriously derails certain characters. So many arguments between anime-only Fate fans and VN players over this series.

No apologies needed about the spoiler warning there, I wouldn't have been able to piece together as much as I did without other various outside spoilers I found up to this point. The Hassan bit probably would've made me think he's someone I should look out for more. Spoiling Saber Alter is one I completely agree was a dumb choice on their end. The Rider bit is like a mix of both of these opinions, really spoilery, but intriguing for sure. FGO did so much spoiling on a bunch WHO a bunch of major characters are for me as well, but at the same time, I don't know what their contributions to the plot of Heaven's Feel are. Now you've got me wondering who Not-Irisviel is ;) I'm real excited, though, it feels like I've literally waited almost a decade to experience Heaven's Feel since the time I first played though the Fate Route!

It's kinda funny, when I started today's recording, I had a minor heart attack (not literally, lol) when I didn't get the option between Stopping/Not Stopping Saber's attack! It turns out, you actually don't get a choice if you meet the Heaven's Feel conditions! I swear, I thought I recorded all this just to get stuck on the Fate Route again, lol

@@BackloggedYGO Yeah, you only can protect Archer from Saber in UBW. Making me think that this a way to show us that Rin won't be the main girl in this route, as Sakura will be the central point in Heaven's Feels.

Nice to see you back, Snake :) I have to ask, what'd you think of the greentext bit at 2:56 and 4:05 of Thumbnail Showcase 2? I'm dying to know your thoughts, it was a really fun bit to make (lol)

I am definitely planning on doing a full playthrough of Tsukihime! A channel regular, MrInuhanyou123 introduced me to a web-based version of the original that I really want to go through! I'm also definitely considering playing through the Tsukihime Remaster when all 5 (I believe) routes are available on a PC port!

Good timing, working on editing it right now! I'm aiming to get it out today, but we'll see. It's not just gonna be me scrolling though the profiles, I'll actually be showing off where you find all the updates too! (As in, I'll be noting every change made that I found as you would naturally go through the game) Interesting couple things I've found out, Saber's stats don't change when Rin's her master, which is really dumb when it comes to immersion. Archer's Master seems to be bugged at that point too, he temporarily doesn't have one, but then randomly has Caster listed as his master for the rest of the game. I'm currently working on the Fate half of the video! I'll update you on my progress as I go, it'll be a pretty long video! One last thing I wanted to ask about, did you want a portion of the video where it's just the complete version of all the Servant/Weapon profiles, or are you okay with how I'm doing it now, progressively showing the updates? (I'm honestly fine with fitting both styles in the video if you'd like me to)

@@BackloggedYGO wait what? Saber's stats change when rin is her master in the og Are you sure they dont change or is that just a bug? Tbh I didnt think of progressivly showing the updates thats really cool

I know, it's a really weird issue, I'll quickly make a community post that you can check with a side-by-side comparison if I can! Honestly, the progressive update thing just popped into my head out of nowhere after two of us were planning how I set this up! I looked up if anyone made a video showcasing the profiles and I found a couple, so I wanted to make something a bit more original!

@@BackloggedYGO not sure when you found those videos Only thing I could find is an old qualitt REALLY old one that isnt even really that good

Community Post is up, I don't usually do image-based ones, so you may have to download them to see the full thing, sorry about that :P The videos regarding the profiles are ones like this guy's (th-cam.com/video/VyrTmb9FfWo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aZqre5ObGgy-xgHh) - I had to do a bit of searching through my history for that one (I'm not sure how I came across it myself, lol)

That's really cool, I genuinely never would've caught that if you didn't show me that web version of Tsukihime. Since I was playing through the game completely fresh, my ears perked up when I heard it! You can see me stopping around there to make sure I wasn't crazy (lol) Glad you like the commentary bits, still trying to figure out how I want to go about that, since I wrote a lot mid-recording. Definitely want to make sure I'm paying attention with all the new stuff coming up in Day 4 onwards! I really do prefer writing them in the heat of the moment rather than afterwards, since the thoughts you get to see aren't influenced by what I find out later in the episode!

And it's all because Shirou helped Sakura. According to the Flowchart, there is no other method of starting Heaven's Feel. You miss that moment, and you're completely locked out of this route! It all starts a chain of events where Shirou's life gets fundamentally altered for noticing his feelings for Sakura. It's been just 2-3 days into the route, and we're already off to a wild start!

@@BackloggedYGO Yeah. The route of Heaven's Feels, can start even before of the events of Holy Grail War. Adding the fact that this route start because you showed interest in Sakura, its like a manner to show us that the relationship points will be an important mechanic in this route, in the sense of get some affection level with some characters, like Rin and Sakura, to prevent falling in Bad Endings. *Note: The mechanic of the relationship points had also relevance in Fate route, specifically with Saber, as you need get some affection level with your Servant, to avoid that Kotomine can convinces her from kill you in a Bad Ending. While in UBW, the relationship points were irrelevants.

Honestly, the points actually mattered just as much in UBW as they do in Fate! Just like you mentioned with the Bad Ending if your points are too low with Saber, the same things happen in UBW! It's at the point where you lost Saber, and Rin and Archer go off on their own! If you don't have enough points with Rin, instead of looking for her, you go to the Church and get killed by Caster! Bad End #21 (th-cam.com/video/bbnjZBQpuc8/w-d-xo.html) Also, don't forget, your point totals in UBW affect which ending you get! Obviously, you need Saber points for the Good Ending, and a lot of Rin points for the True Ending! Anyways, this time around, it seems there are going to be 4 point checks in total for Heaven's Feel, with Sakura and Illya being who we need to focus on!

@@BackloggedYGO Oh, good point. I just forgot this details. Especially the Good Ending, in that you need affection points with Saber, to keep her in the end :3

Glad to see you here again! :) Sorry to keep ya waiting for a couple weeks, but we're back on track! Every single day, for probably the next month, we'll have a Heaven's Feel episode! I believe the route has 16 days to it, and if I saw it correctly, 16 BAD ENDINGS, my goodness! There's also gonna be a bonus episode, likely sometime tomorrow, where I showcase the Weapon and Servant Profiles for the Fate and UBW routes! I hope you'll enjoy the ride :D

@MrInuhanyou123 Thanks, I appreciate it! :) If you didn't see it, left a special thanks for you in the pinned comment! Hope you enjoy the video! I'm genuinely considering doing that web-based version of Tsukihime you mentioned as another series after I'm finished up with Heaven's Feel!

​@@BackloggedYGOPEAK! I'd love to see your blind reaction to that! Going into remake blind is good too but there's nothing quite like experiencing everything there is from the start!

@@MrInuhanyou123 Regarding the flowchart (I'm expecting there is one, it's pretty old), is Tsukihime day-based like F/SN? I'm curious, since my F/SN episodes are typically finished when the day is over. Was wondering if there was anything like that to give me a sorta logical stopping point for each episode. Also, one more thing I'm curious about is the Hentai scenes. (lol) I'm considering leaving the dialogue in and making silly edits over it, and was curious what your take would be! (Would it be a bad idea in general to include the dialogue, etc.) EDIT: Almost forgot, regarding my thoughts, would you like something in the description akin to how I set it up in my Silent Hill 2 Remake playthrough? (Episodes 1-9 are a good reference)

@@BackloggedYGO tsukihime is day based if I recall correctly yes. I think leaving dialogue in is fine for h scenes but I honestly don't think the h scenes are with it to begin with. Lucky there is an h scene filter on the web version but I don't know exactly how it works. And how you did it with silent Hill is fine with me!

Appreciate the feedback as always, I'll keep it in mind as I get to work on the first day of Heaven's Feel!

I hope you enjoy it, bud, there's a special message for ya in the pinned comments, I appreciate having you around :)

@@BackloggedYGO ☺️👍

Minus the goofy dog mask, right? (lol) I really need to sit through the original RE1 and RE2, I've heard RE2 Remake butchered a lot of characters and their stories. I've gone through the original RE3 and playing RE3 Remake felt like it's soul was almost completely missing. I feel pretty similarly about RE4 and it's remake. I think the Remake plays really well, but a lot of the charm from the original got removed to make it more serious overall.

@@BackloggedYGO Indeed.

Hold out until around the 20th, I'm cooking up plenty of stuff for Shirou Day, we'll be right back on track from that point onwards :) Also, since Heaven's Feel is the last route of the game, the series will be over afterwards, obviously. I wanted to ask, is there any other series you'd be interested in seeing me go through? I'm open to suggestions!

I knew you'd be looking for any 'subtle' Fate references :P Might be looking into getting back to work on that sometime soon :)

@@BackloggedYGO 👍

I have to admit, that was a really anticlimactic boss fight, James finished off his "inner demons" for lack of a better term in like two minutes. Despite me really liking this remake, the boss fights are the weakest part of the game. I'm so spoiled by the boss fights in the Resident Evil Remakes!

I don't know too much about Dead Rising, but it's been a game I've meant to check out eventually. It's an absolute shame Eddie's paranoia pushed him to this point. If you listen to his dialogue right before his fight, you can definitely see him delving into insanity, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder what would've happened if he had someone to talk to about all this. All these feelings stayed pent up in his mind, and it resulted in him wanting to take another life.

@@BackloggedYGO Agreed. Eddie was certainly a tragic figure. As his situation would be prevented, if a kind-hearted person from his school would support him. Sadly, he had deal with this bullying, alone, molding Eddie in a very resented and vengenful person.

I mean, it makes sense, both Fuyuki and Silent Hill both got hit with supernatural events that fundamentally changed them both :)

@@BackloggedYGO Good point 🤣

I had my volume up waaaay too loud for that one haha, my poor heart

I was just as surprised myself, as you could hear from all the HUHs? in the video lol It was absolutely criminal how Saber was stripped away from Shirou in Fate at the very last moment. So to see them give us an ending so happy was a very welcome change of pace. I mean damn, Saber and Shirou didn't even get to to say goodbye to each other in the True Ending!

Not to mention it can make new generations of people like that that subject others to bullying as well. It's an absolutely vicious cycle.

@@BackloggedYGO Indeed. The Bullying can be similar to the Revenge, a constant vicious cycle of suffering and hatred.

I'm glad you enjoyed your time with Unlimited Blade Works! I promise I'll get to Heaven's Feel soon, just finishing up my time in Silent Hill 2's Remake, I'm having an absolute blast with it. Give it a watch if you're interested in survival horror!

I think I know the one you're talking about, the one you need to go through a couple times to upgrade your keycard, right? Man, I've gotta do Resident Evil 4 Remake sometime on the channel too, I love playing that game.

@@BackloggedYGO 👍

Fun fact if you weren't aware, every character sees the town of Silent Hill differently, including the enemies. So who knows, maybe someone has a world where Silent Hill takes advantage of their fear of needles!

@@BackloggedYGO Good point...

In this session, my computer gets a heart attack every couple of seconds :) As a result, the footage you see up until 53:21 will not be blind. Here's the actual blind version of the first bit if you wanted to see it. th-cam.com/video/lCJvxIhOjq8/w-d-xo.html (You'll see WHY I needed to redo this recording session, watch at least the last cutscene that plays) As you'll see through the gameplay, my computer is just having an absolute stroke going through this portion of the game. Which, I'm mad about because it's hurting my first impressions of a genuinely solid game. For anyone with their own PC issues, I've listed fixes I've personally implemented at the top of the description. My thoughts regarding gameplay are available in the section tagged with spoilers, as usual.

You can see my heart rate jump to like 200 in real time around 1:35:41 lol I don't know what that says about my tolerance for horror when that of all things scared me the most :P Doing a wee bit of work before the next part, not sure if it was an update that did it, but I'm dealing with some bad stuttering/frame rate issues in the next section we get to. Maybe it was me rendering this episode for 7 hours, (my poor PC) who knows?

@@BackloggedYGO Well, one aspect that makes Silent Hill's horror so unique, its the notable creepy factor, rising the terror level and jumpscares for the players.

It's a premise that I learned about in a lot of late 2010-ish movies, think when the Marvel cinematic universe started becoming a thing. I wish I remembered the term, it's been a long while since I've used it. It's a term to describe a fight scene where characters aren't limited to just using their body, but they use what's available in the room to fight with. Don't you worry about guns by the way... let's just say I'll be getting very familiar with one next episode :) I'll get to uploading it ASAP, but since the game crashed mid-recording, I've been stuck stitching both parts of it together for like 7 hours, I meant to have it out yesterday >:(

@@BackloggedYGO Also, as other analysis regarding guns in Survival horror games, i always wonder how you can finds ammos so easily, in common places, like shelves, closets and tables, in every places. I mean, its weird that everybody had ammos spreaded in their places, like if this was a candies, as manner to show another oversight of the realistic aspects.

@@josecuestas7246 I mean, for Resident Evil 1-3 and Silent Hill 1-2, I could make the easy joke about them taking place in America :P RE1 makes sense, considering the Spencer Mansion contained a lot of bioweapons, they'd need a method to keep them in check and keep distance because of how the T-Virus spreads. RE2 also does, considering a majority of it takes place in the Raccoon City Police Department, then the lab is explained by my reasoning for RE1. RE3 is Racoon City completely overrun by zombies, many people attempting to survive would likely be caught off guard by the outbreak, so they'd be split up all over the place. You'd have civilians, police officers, and the UBCS(Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service) contributing to the ammo lying everywhere. RE4-RE8 are where this got really silly and I completely agree the only reason ammo would be everywhere is because "haha, it's a video game" Silent Hill 1 is one I don't have a great explanation for. Silent Hill 2 however, has a pretty good one that I can explain, but there's heavy spoilers for why.

@@BackloggedYGO Good point 🤣

Hi, thanks for commenting! If you don't mind, could you point any of these moments out? There's not much I can do after having posted them, but it would be great to know about for when I'm able to edit a full Unlimited Blade Works run in the future! One more thing, are you on mobile or PC? Every episode should be available in 1080p HD, so I have no idea what would cause lower quality, besides well, lower quality! You don't have to go through this episode again, but if you see an example in one of the following ones, absolutely le me know!

Sorry I took so long to get back to you this time around, needed to work on a bit of TH-cam stuff for the first episode of Silent Hill 2 Remake! This ending definitely made me real happy, I genuinely had no idea there would be one where Saber gets to stay around. Shirou losing her in Fate was absolutely tragic. The Emiya household feels wrong without her around!

@@BackloggedYGO Agreed. Saber is like the Heart of this home, as her mere pressence brings a warm and welcome aura, making that Saber can be a protector for Shirou and Rin, in many ways, aspects and manners. And don't worry for the delay, everybody can have our own duties. Adding that sometimes, the TH-cam itself can have some technical issues.

Sorry about the delayed response, TH-cam didn't even notify me that you left a comment for some reason! Thanks for commenting! The servant and weapon profiles thing are still something to this day I wasn't sure how to fit into the series. I do randomly show them off from time to time, but I felt it would mess with the pacing of episodes if I went looking for what updated every time the notification appeared. I'm honestly considering making a dedicated video to showcasing them, but I'm also unsure whether I want to do it before or after I finish up Heaven's Feel, as that'll be the most up-to-date version of everything. If you've got any other questions or ideas for me, I'd be glad to hear them! My playthrough of Fate/Stay Night will temporarily be put on hiatus for Silent Hill 2 Remake's early release tomorrow. Feel free to stop by if you're interested!

@@BackloggedYGO you coulda juat put them at the end of each video as their own section

I'll definitely set it up like that when I get to Heaven's Feel! I want to ask regarding your preference, would you like a video with what we have in the Weapon and Servant profiles up to this point at the end of UBW, and I do another completele one when done with HF, or should I do just one complete one when done with HF? I'm absolutely fine with either option, I really wanted to figure out what to do with these, and you've given me a pretty good idea on where to go from here!

@@BackloggedYGO you should do one now but you gonna need to go through some story parts again Heracles NP description changes so you gonna need to go back to around the start to get the og NP description of heracles Saber stats also chance when rin became her master so you gonna need to go back to that

I'll go back and look through the Fate Route too, I'm sure there's certain things I'll need to catch. I'll be sure to show on-screen what Route each shows up in. Gilgamesh is another pretty good example of what I need to look for, since a lot of the weapons in the Weapon Profiles show up when he uses them in Fate. I appreciate you mentioning the Rin part, there's absolutely gonna be two different versions of that. They made a whole scene showing there's a difference for a reason! I'll have a lot of planning to do regarding projects for the next two weeks, besides Silent Hill 2's Remake, I wanted to set up a full version of UBW's Good Ending, as well as setting up a second Thumbnail Showcase when I'm ready to start Heaven's Feel. On top of that, I remembered Shirou Day is on the 20th, so I wanted to come up with something dumb for that too! Sorry for dumping a wall of text on you, I kinda put this all on my plate in the last couple of days, but I absolutely want to work on a showcase for the Servant/Weapon profiles too!

I honestly think you're right. If it wasn't for the situation he was put in, he wouldn't have been forced to become independent. I'm pretty sure that in this fight with Gilgamesh, he states that he fundamentally misunderstood what his power was. The Fate version of Shirou would have been convinced that it was Strengthening, then Projection. It's kinda crazy that this all happens because of whether or not Shirou chooses to use a Command Spell after summoning Saber! As a result, a weakened version of Saber had to handle all the fighting while Archer recovered from her attack. Then Archer sacrifices himself to save everyone from Berserker's wrath. As a result, Shirou had no time to distract himself learning Archer's techniques, as they may as well have had no time to interact in Fate.

@@BackloggedYGO Yeah. Though that Fate and UBW routes are decided, for the simple choice of Shirou to allow or stop Saber from harm Archer in the beginning. Its amazing how much differents events, can be determined by a seemingly insignificant decision.
