We lost the FSN character sheet to the fanboys long, long ago.

Basically what fox said.

Judging Type-Moon stuff based on what the fans say is like judging FFVII based on what the fans say.

Latest character in my shite novel: a fedora-clad "gentleman" who actually is a gentleman and also kills people for the Russian mob.

just think of it as "they thought, since they were a small indie company, that they had to make it an eroge or it wouldn't sell because vns"

now that they're making money hand over face they no longer have to do that

Basically. The moment they struck gold, they stopped dealing in hentai.

He and his mafia GF flirt to a sickening degree.

Also shit, this is almost perfect.

Was it true that you got mana back by making the characters fuck in earlier games, or am I just being ignorant with hearsay?

I cannot command such flair.

For I only write about awkward trips to buy groceries.

And dinner.

And people-watching.

And shitty pop songs.

Oh and I can't forget the uncomfortable longing stares.

Those are important too.

[up][up]The first one I think that is actually the case, which is why I am (procrastinating on) playing the no-sex-scenes mod.

Mundane shit can be fuckin' fab, too. I am only writing this because I want to stick it to younger!Mobile.

I'll probably not stay mundane forever.

In fact.

I know I won't.

I will write a mech fight scene at some point and it will be glorious.

But that's really far down the road.

Speaking of writing outside your usual zone, I'm really looking forward to see how Mobile writes her first Combine firefight.

@spaz: those scenes are cut out entirely w/ the mod and just replaced with weird mind delving scenes that don't make much sense at all and are skippable

@norm: well you can't make them do it, 'cause it's a visual novel not a video game, but yes

I'm just gonna hope to God I don't fuck the gun-shooting fighty shit up. If so, I can always smokescreen with more angsty Breen-centered pyschodrama.

Gunfights are admittedly hard to write well.

Which is why I always tried to avoid them.

@Norm:The canon reason is that Shirou sucked at being a mage so bad that he had to perform a "ritual" in order to give mana to Saber.

It has been retconned into cleaner, in later adaptations.

When the best way to get attention for a medium is to pander to sex, I think one needs to reconsider their audience. Still, the story itself must be decent enough if you guys appreciate it.

It actually got most of its early fanbase from a 2006 anime adaptation that didn't have anything explicit.

And the 2011 Fate/Zero prequel anime helped, too.

the writing in the

I just think that selling anything with sex is a massive disservice. Both for the story and for the industry. I'm glad the series appears to have moved past it, though even then it doesn't look like my cup of tea at all.
