Tapestry's are pretty nice, as long as you've got somewhere to hang them.
Those look like recycled sword slashes from FSN (Tsubame Gaeshi?) in the background xD

Regardless, it at least alleviates my fears of us not seeing Shiki at all in game which has worried me ever since Comun posted that interview with Nasu where he said Shiki's VA has a harder time because you don't see Shiki's face when he talks.
"Here's a bangin lil' tune about takin' on The Man!"
(Check out my Super Special Awesome Servant Compendium here)
I thought it was very clear that he meant it was generally gonna be the classic MCs POV display for standard bg + tachi-e scenes but Shiki appears in event CGs and action sequences. Who knows, maybe he’ll be randomly popping in during the tachi-e scenes too, been some VNs that randomly “flip the camera” from 1st person to 3rd person and show the MC. Im definitely expecting him to be more on camera than shirou.
Bit late to this thread, but I wanted to give some of my knowledge and protips...
Switch emulation is actually coming along particularly well (search for "yuzu-emu" without quotes, you want the URL ending in ".org").
Performance-wise, since a VN isn't exactly demanding and the Switch itself isn't exactly a ball of fire, it really shouldn't be that difficult on any semi-competent CPU with at least 4 threads even if you're forced to run it at less-than full speed.
The GPU requirements should be even less for all the same reasons but with the additional bonus that emulation in general cares way less about GPU grunt than CPU grunt, so even semi-modern integrated graphics could be fine - especially since you can "cheat the system" and just set yuzu to run a game in portable mode to instantly reduce the GPU requirements.
Really the main concern would be the requirement of a GPU that supports Vulkan (any iGPU made in the last 5 years and any dGPU made in the last 10; note that 4th gen Intel graphics can support Vulkan but only on Linux) as well as the usual game compatibility concerns with running any game in an emulator that's still under heavy development.
Tell me about it. My most powerful console I own is, depending on your viewpoint, a Wii (not a Wii U) or a 3DS (not New 3DS).
But what I also have connected to my 39" HDTV with a surround sound system and everything is a 2.93GHz 4core/8thread Nehalem Xeon and Radeon HD5870 with a Radeon HD7850 upgrade waiting in the wings as soon as I upgrade the OS. For those that don't know, an HD7850 is pretty much the exact GPU that the base PS4 uses, and the 2.93GHz 4c/8t Nehalem definitely has enough multi-threaded grunt to at least slightly outperform eight 1.6GHz Jaguar cores (what the base PS4 has), though in the real world will vastly exceed due to much faster single-threaded performance (around double) because games very rarely will use all your CPU threads evenly..
I mean, that very Switch release also makes it much more easy to run on a PC, so there's always that silver lining.
An elusive "Switch Pro" as some have called it has been rumored for multiple times now to be launching later this year. Some sites like videocardz have assumed it to be a new generation but everything I can see points to it being a half-gen upgrade similar to the PS4 Pro...or like all of the other half-gen upgrades that Nintendo has made to their handhelds (New 3DS, DSi, Game Boy Color), and they've always been able to play existing "non-pro" games of the same generation.
Regardless of me finding Videocardz "next gen" listing being inaccurate, I'm still going to link to their article simply because it's the easiest one for me to source:
As someone that's part of that group but is anti-social enough to generally not interact with others in that group, I had no idea it was a small group.
You mean fan-translation of (presumably) the Switch version, right?

Did anyone post the MB trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7m1BEJwL0o
“Yet the burden shall be shared by two entwined, from which the sword will part from the body and be bestowed upon the vassal to sacrifice themselves and cleave through space and time.”
“Mark upon this unworthy flesh the emblem of the sacrifice, the vassal whose death shall bring forth victory through the fields of steel and blood!”
“The oath is laid here. We are the ones who represent all the good within the pure lands, and we are the ones who judge what is evil within the pure lands. Thou, Seven Heavens clad in three mere words of unequal power, shall emerge from the spiral of control, O keeper of the balance—!”
I thought that was the console you were referring to? I mean, it'd been rumored since last year even, but it wasn't until this year that more details have come out (such as the 7" OLED screen).
In terms of an actual next generation console, who knows at this point...

Some user posted before an image of young Vlad a lot of pages before when we were talking about the new DA in the TsukiRE trailer, telling that it looked a lot like young Vlad (I don't have the image if someone is so kind plz).
Is probably Takeuchi face issue but in view of recent information about how there are going to be new members what if the new DA is not Strout of Enhance but is the actual Dracula. In Fate worlds Vlad hate everything respect to Dracula story and how it twisted his leyend and degenerates more and more until things like Twiling came to existence but what if Tsukihime world Vlad actually choose a path where he became a DA instead?
...or it reeks so much of fanfiction?
Sounds better than a lot of the fanfiction that has become official over the years. Would be a bit too much of a throwback to Fate for my taste but I've heard worse and they could go in a radical direction to make it acceptable.
