The Nasuverse is a beautiful, terrible mess

[@Rosencrantz17]

​@@ericchoi1515 Tsukihime is Type-Moon's first VN, about a vampire, a boy, and his ability to see 'the death of things'. Mahoyo is a story that details the backstory of one of the Nasuverse's big side characters, Aozaki Aoko. Lastly, Kara no Kyoukai/KnK - The Garden of Sinners in English - is the tale of a young woman struggling with her murderous impulses while working for a detective agency that investigates paranormal activity. Of the three, only KnK has a good adaptation (Ufotable's first Type-Moon work). You can thank KnK for why we have so many Fate things these days. Takeuchi's love of the original KnK novel caused him to reach out to Nasu and offer to support Nasu writing full time. That eventually grew into the establishment of Type-Moon and the publication of Tsukihime as a doujin work. Fate/Stay Night came off of Tsukihime's success, and while DEEN might have butchered the Fate adaptation, Ufotable did a great job on the KnK adaptation films a year later. That's probably why they managed to snag the contract for Fate/Zero, which they did a phenomenal job on, getting a better adaptation of the UBW route. After that... well, the series had a LOT of momentum behind it. (This doesn't get into the Extraverse adding momentum, either. Which it did. While Fate/Extra was considered 'Not bad, but a bit clunky gameplay wise', Fate/Extra CCC was considered to be one of the better games released for the PSP)

Fate/stay Night in a nutshell (with only anime and visual novels/eroge): The original visual novel is three routes: Fate (the Saber ending, or boy's ideal ending), Unlimited Blade Works (the Rin ending, coming to terms as a young man who has to face the challenge of your ideals versus reality), and Heavens Feel (the Sakura ending, accepting reality and bringing about the most ideal ending as man or something). Fate/stay Night is about the events of the 5th Holy Grail War of Fuyuki City, it occurring 10 years after the previous war, which the main character, Shirou Emiya, happened to be a survivor of the fallout. Fate/hollow ataraxia - a spinoff/sequel to the original Fate/stay Night that does what Kagetsu Tohya did to Tsukihime and is a giant visual novel clusterfuck of routes and such. Also, it focuses on the original Servant of Lancer and the Servant class Avenger. Required for Carnival Phantasm jokes (so not to understand the Fate franchise... but kinda) Fate/stay Night (2006) anime - adaptation of the Fate route with a little touch of UBW + HF. Considered pretty bad by today's standards due to age and the slightly half-assed-ness of the first anime adaptation. Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (film) (2010) trash. Don't watch it. Literally is a waste pf 105 minutes. Made Fate fans around the world angry both old and young (when they realized how shit it was) Fate/Zero (2011) - prequel of Fate/stay Night, which focuses on the 4th Holy Grail War. Focuses on the Servants and Masters of that time, including Shirou's adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, and his Servant, Saber. Like... actual Saber from FSN. Also, this would herald in ufotable making all official Fate-related media, which is to all of our benefits. Fate/Prototype (2011) - a retelling of the Fate/stay Night story based on the original prototype ideas of if Emiya Shirou were an emo girl and Arturia Pendragon instead of being a girl, was a bishi-as-fuck bishounen. This is a totes accurate summary of it. Also, this is the equivalent of a 12-minute trailer. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya (2013) - spinoff magical girl anime series animated by Silver Link. Fate/kaleid is the story of "normal" 10-year-old Illyasviel and her chance encouter with Ruby to become a magical girl. Second season is very loli police-inducing, but overall the show has some very solid elements and helps expand the lore of Fate. But... if you don't like lolis then just skip. Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) (2014) - an amazing anime adaptation of the Unlimited Blade Works route of the original Fate/stay Night adaptation. Has many references to Fate/Zero and the original Fate/stay Night visual novel (some of which are lost in the Fate/stay Night anime from 2006, so can't say those references carry over). Fate/stay Night" Heaven's Feel (2017) - a series of three films that focuses on the Heavens Feel route of FSN. Actually, pretty amazing and another highly recommended on my part if you've found yourself in this Fate rabbit hole. Today's Menu for the Emiya Family (2018) - spinoff that can best be described as taking place in the Fate/hollow ataraxia timeline? Essentially, just Shirou cooking good food for the entire cast of Fate/stay Night, friends and former-enemies included. Cute and short. The Case Files of Lord El Melloi II (2019) - a Fate-related spinoff focuses on Waver Velvet, now holding the rank of Lord in the Clock Tower as El Melloi the Second. This is the story of Waver/El Melloi's struggles on his road to catch up to his King, Iskandr. Recommended watch post Fate/Zero. Future series are not listed at this time. And as discussed before, this is a focus on the Fate/stay Night portion of the Fate franchise. If you'd like to fall deeper into the rabbit hole, there are a slew of other games, light novels, manga, anime, etc. Fate/Extra, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/Strange Fake, and Fate Grand Order share lore elements with FSN, but are ultimately all separate from the Fate/stay Night story and universe. Also Carnival Phantasm while made mention of, is a 2011 OVA series that takes the characters from the Fate franchise and the characters from other Type Moon franchises, especially Tsukihime, and combines them for a hilarious gag series. The order to watch is pretty simple. Just go down the list. If you don't want to start from the crappy stuff, just start at Fate/Zero. You can ignore spinoffs if you'd like.

[@cloudwalker9572]

Even shorter: Watch fate zero then unlimited blade works. You can then watch heaven feels (other way fifth war happens). If you want more watch stay night (other way fifth war happened, outdated), fate extra last encore (parallel future universe), fate apocrypha (parallel universe). The rest is trash/for the hardcore fans.

Fate isnt as complicated as people make it out to be Edit: I wanna share my opinion on this bc the reply section is a warzone. this will be brief bc i dont wanna spoil anything for newcomers. My take is that choose: fate/zero or fate/stay night ubw. I prefer to choose fate/Zero bc it gives an understanding of the character of saber and why certain characters are in ubw. (AFTER ubw watch heavens feels no matter what. NOT before) ubw is also really good but in my opinion it can be a better experience by the help of zero. (dont watch the movie. watch the show by ufotable) fate stay night deen 2006 is how i started and it really is mediocre. It explains the lore the best but mostly is bland throughout. if u can push through it, go for it but i wouldnt recommend. The ones i mention above are main timeline and it should be one of them as for how you get into fate. the spinoffs dont explain a lot like Fate/Grand Order or Fate/Extra last encore. Note: the visual novel is a good answer but the unavailability of it plays a key factor and the commitment of being on it for a 100 hours will bother people since you can finish the main shows in less than 30 hours. (including deen it would be 42hours) Thats it . I commend u for reading all this

For people wanting to get into the Fate series as I fairly recently did, here is the no meme easy to understand explanation. The original visual novel had 3 different routes that you could play through. All three of the routes started relatively similarly, but then depending on the players choices, the midpoint to the endings changed dramatically depending on which route your choices made you end up going in. (On a side note, you had to play through the routes chronologically in the first place, but that is neither here nor there). Those three routes were called the Fate route, the Unlimited Blade Works Route and the Heaven's Feel route. So for people wanting to get into the Fate anime's right now, here is my personal recommendation of how you should go about it: Fate Route (Studio Deen) - Not a great adaptation, but the story is essential and it will also make you appreciate the animation in the other routes 100x more. Not awful mind you, and still worth watching, if only to prepare you for the later routes. Unlimited Blade Works (ufotable) - Second route, and my personal favorite. It's what made me become a hardcore fan. Fate Zero (ufotable) - This is a prequel to all three Fate Stay Night routes and isn't part of the original visual novel. However watching it after UBW is the perfect place in my opinion. It expects you to have at least seen the Fate route, so if you watch it at any other point, it spoils some later reveals from the other routes. So in my opinion this is the best place for it because the things it would have spoiled, you will have already seen the reveals for. It also sets up some backstory that very smoothly leads you into the Heaven's Feel route. Heaven's Feel (ufotable) - The third and final route, what has been adapted into three movies.

[@dwarfy2k264]

I agree this is the best order to watch to get into Fate.

[@michi6486]

And for those who want to go deeper into fate, all other stories are pretty much standalone. They take the general concept of fate but twist the rules and as to not break the OG Canon they are disconnected alternate stories. Case it point apocrypha. It wants to have historicaly and mythological figueres fight each other but doesn´t want a 7 player battle royale but rather a 7 a side team deathmatch. Other stories take the concept of heroes fighting each other and gives its own spin on it. FGO is one Giant hub where all alternate Stories interconnect, because FGO prints money and wants to bounce of of these stories and take the servants from them into the Gacha so people pay ungodly amounts of money for them.... It also due to it´s nature as being a story driven game that went on for 8 years now heavily expanded the lore and the rules of the universe, but if you play through it you can follow it along fairly easily since it spreads its information across it´s now I think 22 or 23 Story chapters and many more events.

Agreed, that's the main reason it sucks. I hope Ufotable does a proper Fate route adaptation, be it movies or series. I think you wouldn't even need a full two season series like UBW, maybe 15 or so episodes (they can skip a lot of the "basic tutorial" part from the VN)

Just so you know, don’t ever say this on any of the major fate forums like Beast’s Lair or the fate section of Spacebattles. They would tear you to shreds for saying that. That being said here are some common fanon that arose mainly due to fanfiction. Common fanon: - Shirou can use Avalon: He cannot it must be powered by Arturia’s own od - The world rejects Shirou’s projections: A common misconception is that the world naturally erases Shirou’s projections. This is not true as in the VN Shirou has a convo with Rin and mentions his projections only fading when they break. -Gaia hates humanity: This is also not true. Humanity are her children and planets have no concept of hate. Primate Murder only exists if Fou is exposed to the worst of humanity and Gaia only orders the death of humanity in Notes due to humans outliving the planet and living on its dead corpse. -Archer uses a suicidal sword style: This arose due to the internal monologue of Archer during the 2nd Lancer vs Archer fight where he uses fake openings to counter Lancer’s speed. This is only a technique that he has notably used against Lancer. To cut the long and short of it this style is only able to work due to the type of fighter that Lancer is. -Shirou has amnesia: In Heaven’s Feel there is a scene where Shirou goes to the park and walks to where his old apartment was and remembers fragments of his old life before suppressing it. It’s not that he doesn’t remember it’s that he avoids thinking about it to avoid the pain. There are others but these are some of the big ones I see in fanfiction that were proliferated by fanfiction authors like Third Fang, Parcasious, and Gabriel Blessing.

@Joonatan Isoaho The worst part about the fire isn’t his loss of everything, rather it’s the fact that that singular event defines everything he does on into infinity. It prevents him from being able to see his own life as something valuable on its own and makes him believe all his worth comes from his ability to help others.

As a Fate fan, I agree with the title of this video. Also, as a Fate fan, I can confirm that not even Fate understands the Fate franchise.

[@therranolleo468]

I don't think even Nasu understands what he;s doing anymore, like if there's a hole somewhere on a story that he wrote like 10 years ago that contradicts one thing he wants to make in GO he just goes along and say "fuck it"

I've been into Fate for over two years now and I still have so much games and shows of it to play and watch. I love it though because you can never get bored of the franchise.

[@phlaryx7145]

From what I understand: Fate stay night = Saber Route (but shit) Fate/Zero = Prequel to Fate stay night (adapted from light novels/not visual novel) Fate stay night unlimited blade works = Rin Route Fate stay night Heaven’s Feel movie trilogy = Sakura Route (Preferably the Kotomine Route) Anything else with “Fate” in the title = Some spin off stuff that isn’t necessarily canon to the main franchise. (Maybe)

[@heroricspiritfreinen38]

Everyone knows that heavens feel is the Kotomine route

[@vladprus4019]

Fate - introduction route + romace with King Arthur route. Unlimited Blade Works - Archer route (like seriously there isn't that much more Rin here than in other routes, but Archer completly dominates the plot). Heaven's Feel - Sakura route with Lillya and Kirei thrown to the mix. Also horror route.

[@pwners4u]

Archer and Shirō are major parts to unlimited blade works as archer isn’t in like a third of fate stay night

[@gameygeemer4142]

How to get into the Fate Franchise. Step 1: Play the VN or at least the first route If that's not possible or enjoyable from your perspective, watch Blade Works, Heaven's Feel, and Zero. You have now learned 99.99% of the lore

[@coranbaker6401]

Do not watch Heaven's Feel first. I feel that needs to be specified

[@godofgreedas924]

You don't know shit about fate if you think it's true

[@terryzhuang4299]

Honestly tho, if you are putting in the effort of starting from the VN, finish it. ubw can be experienced with the anime, although shirou isn’t really written too well in the anime adaptation, but heavens feel you absolute should read the VN if you consider reading the VN in the first place.

The fate franchise is like swimming, throw yourself in and learn how to swim. I know almost everything about fate but I also ironically can’t swim.

[@Birdouwee]

the cool thing i find about the fate franchise is that you have a different level of understanding compared to everyone else but you can still enjoy the series, theres like a weird beauty in not finding a common ground but also finding a common ground if that makes sense.

[@ziggymcdougal]

personally I like Fate and Emiya more though I only finished Arc, Ciel, and Akiha routes as of yet. Want to get back to it and finish it up at some point. If I were to rate my favorite Nasuverse stuff it'd probably be F/SN at the top followed by Kara no Kyoukai, Zero, Tsuki, and Mahoyo (though like with tsukihime haven't finished mahoyo since the patch is only up to chapter 8 right now).

[@taylorzhou9823]

The problem of FSN adaptation is the nature of FSN as a visual novel. Nasu created a phantasy world and the purpose of FSN was to describe this world. As a visual novel, each route of FSN reveals a fraction of this phantom world, so there are many plots in one route which are not explained properly at that moment, but will be echoed in another route in this game. This brings a special experience for the players. The best way of watching fate is fate (06) -> fate ubw -> fate HF. You will see the change of emiya shirou and how he deal with the problem of idealism.

[@rubix4195]

Yup - it's like with Tsukihime all over again: gotta start with original route first and then immerse slowly. Seriously, I know there's some weird Fate Zero thing where they watch that but, for me, it's unnecessary. The fact that people want some kind of express version or "How-to" defeats the purpose of the original media - it's meant to be an exploration of a universe not a complete story in itself. It's like saying describing everything in the Old and New Testament but skip out all the boring bits. On another note, I have immensely enjoyed revisiting Fate-Stay/Night by following your exact route: Fate (06) -> UBW: Movie -> UBW: Tv series -> Fate: HF. In fact, it made me revise that I am more of a Rin fan than a Saber fan but, deep down, the Fate route has always been my preferred route.
