This is the discussion thread for the Fate route of Fate/stay night, meant for those who have only finished up to Fate or wish to only discuss it. Please put plot points that occur outside of Fate in spoiler tags.
Fate is the first route in Fate/stay night and is centered out Saber.
More Info: Type-Moon Wiki (spoilers)
In Progress: Melty Blood
Complete: Garden of Sinners, Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, Tsukihime Plus+Disc, Kagetsu Tohya
Remember when Shirou and Saber teamed up to impale motherfuckin' Heralces on a lightsaber and then have it blow up? Then Gilgamesh and Saber face off, but she's getting owned, but then Shirou has his second epiphany and blasts through all the evils of the world with Avalon and closes in to Kotomine for the final kill as Saber risks it all for one last Excaliblast?
And then both Gilgamesh and Kotomine get mutually owned as Shirou stabs Kotomine through the chest, runs back around in a circle and punches the dagger's hilt and it explodes, essentially stabbing Kotomine in half? And Gilgamesh seems to temporarily not be crazy and says some philosophical stuff before fading away?
And then Shirou has his first epiphany in the Church's basement where he gets mind raped but resolves to keep going for the ones that died in the fire ten years prior? Then Lancer holds off Gilgamesh for half the day as Saber and Shirou finally confess they love each other and make sweet sweet love? But at the end of the route Saber has to go back to her time because of her honor and even though Shirou wants her to stay, if he truly loves her he cannot besmirch her honor?
Then Archer holds off Heracles and actually kills him five or so times by himself, possibly without using Unlimited Blade Works but we don't know that for sure?
Fate route is good shit.

but boring in comparison :/
6/10 compared to the action scenes in the other routes.
I am sorry Fate route. I like how you sell us on Shirou's Ideal and how you are pretty much the best lovestory out of the three routes, but your action scenes comparatively suck.

...honestly I like this Route more than UBW and HF at times, though I admit that the fight scenes were...shoddy most of the times.
[Edit] I like HF mainly because of Shirou VS Saber Alter. And because Rider.

I don't, and I use every chance I get to bring this up.

Last Episode was weirdly worded as fuck.

I like it and all, but if there's one thing it definitely isn't, it's "clear and understandable".
It's so weird I can easily make it sound like it's the most horrible bad end ever, worse than Shirou and Rin getting Dark Sakura'd until the end of their days.
Which is what I think Nasu even wanted. He gave such an incredibly stereotypical happy end it becomes grotesque again, as a reaction to fan reaction. Like a kid who lets everyone play with his dented football, and once they complain that the football has dents he just packs it up and goes home, because nobody appreciated his football.
Anno-tier trolling ladies and gents.

Lot's of speculation for everyone!
I certainly don't....
Fate scenes weren't awesome? How about when HOLY SHIT Gil just went all out EA and saber just tanked it like a BAWS and excalliblated the fuck out of him how AWESOME was that?
It wasn't all out.

Would you really want Shirou spending precious text space talking about how he misses Saber in the True End of Heaven's Feel? Or even worse, seemingly unrelated text about how Saber finnally found the Grail so don't worry she's cool now?
Araya, what do you seek?
「アラヤ、何を求める」
------True wisdom.「――――真の叡智を」
Araya, where do you seek it?「アラヤ、何処に求める」
Only within myself.「――――ただ、己が内にのみ」
Araya, what is your favorite color?「アラヤ、好きな色は？」
Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!「青、いや、オレンジイイイイイアアアっ！」
At least I can say that it was a version of Archer that got into Avalon and into Saber!

I don't see how that has to do with his post at all.

Except nothing he said in those three words implied that at all. People are more than just one thing.

I guess 7/10?
