Fate/hollow ataraxia REMASTERED

If Saber has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Saber has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Saber has only one fan then that is me. If Saber has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Saber, then I am against the world.

Good job, Type-Moon. Now give us Tsukihime port and Fate/Extra Record please.

5 minutes in and there's already a little girl with a brother complex. Glory to Nasu.

PSA - Remember to umute Shirou's voice once he starts speaking in the game, it's muted by default just like in Stay Night apparently. I also recommend putting 'text window opacity' to 0% and toggling 'text shadow' to on so that the art doesn't get covered by a gray overlay 90% of the game but you can still read the text easily.

This game has Matou Sakura so it must be purchased and experienced, that's the review.

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is the real conclusion to everything Fate/Stay Night built up. It’s where all the pieces finally come together, major lore revelations, explanations that tie the whole story, and tons of crucial background info that was never addressed or fully explored before. This game is a direct sequel, to fully appreciate what Fate/Hollow Ataraxia does, you really need to have experienced all three Fate/Stay Night routes. Most people who haven’t read it, or have only watched the anime adaptations of the Fate series still don’t realize how much they’re missing or how little they actually understood about Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, or Heaven’s Feel. It also gives more development to many Fate/Stay Night characters, including details that trace back to events between Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night. Even secondary characters like Kuzuki get more depth and relevance than you’d expect, and some of these revelations even shed new light on Soujuurou’s background in Mah...

play Fate/stay night first! this is really good, it offers the same qol features that was in stay night’s remaster. and it does it just as good. its worth picking up

I played the fan translation of this game years ago, and I’m happy to see it finally get an official localization on Steam. YES, I recommend this game. But before you play it you really need to read Fate/stay night first. Is it long? Yeah, a bit. Is it worth it? Absolutely. What drew me to TYPE-MOON back in the day were the characters. I genuinely like them all — yes, even Shirou. While I love the tragic, heavy narratives TYPE-MOON is known for, Fate/hollow ataraxia gave me something different: a chance to see these characters living a more peaceful, almost everyday life. It was heartwarming to see Saber, Sakura, and Illya finally getting to enjoy small, normal moments after everything they’ve endured. It’s a bittersweet epilogue — part comedy, part mystery, part dream — but above all, it’s a love letter to fans who wanted to see their favorite characters smile just one more time. 9/10

[h1] [b] [u] A Tale that should've never happened... and yet it Did [/u] [/b] [/h1] Before getting into the nitty gritty of the main topic, I just want to talk about Fate/Stay Night for a bit first. It's a game that really needs no introduction. It's a game that introduced a myriad of iconic and beloved characters. It's a game that spawned one of the biggest multimedia entertainment franchises in the world. It's a game that still inspires many stories from many creatives around the world today even after more than 20 years since its inception. To say that the game is anything less than revolutionary would be a disservice to its legacy. And that very same widely beloved game, received a lesser known and severely underappreciated direct sequel in the following year after its initial release: [h3] [b] Fate/Hollow Ataraxia [/b] [/h3] ... and that game's newest remaster is what I'm going to be talking about for most of this review right here. Hope you'll bare with my incoherent ramb...

Hollow Ataraxia is one of the best sequels I have ever experienced. I hear a ton of people say it's "not important" or "not necessary" to the Fate/Type-Moon experience. People who say this do not know what the hell they are talking about. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia IS IMPORTANT. It is a perfect extension to Fate/Stay Night, covering themes and characters the original story did not have time to fully flesh out. Characters who used to be just ideas (Bazett, Caren, Angra) are actual CHARACTERS and have such amazing development and impact. The plot is open, and allows you to lay back and experience calming days at your own pace, with more serious darker scenes mixed in between. This game just has an amazing vibe, and introduces so many concepts that paved the way for the Fate franchise, and I think is part of the reason it is as big and expansive as it is today.
