>That is the only way it remains an exclusive hobby for outcasts and misfits and isn't contaminated by casual influence.
You want visual novels to remain exclusive to a tiny niche fanbase? People like you still exist? You know any chance of things staying that way was lost when VNs started being translated, giving a wide range of anime fans access to them.

And there's a 99% chance that even you only started playing visual novels because of English translations.

Last I checked, Fate/stay night was entirely linear (enforced route order, even), with any "branching" consisting of "pick the right choice or die in a couple of lines".

1. Turn your mind into steel.
2. Go outside.
3. ??????
4. Become a superhero.

>Wrong. If that had been the case, he would have had no trouble killing whoever it was that stabbed him in the back.

He wasn't spiteful. And again, it was later in Archer's life.

>The only way to make everyone happy is to kill off all but one side of every conflict.

Kiritsugu's handling of this was to kill the smallest side. Archer adopted the thought.

>What the fuck? Mind of Steel is second only to HF Normal ending in distance from being Archer End.

This is the most inaccurate statement ever. In ALL the routes (but NOT Bad End 30) he learns how to use Magic Circuits right from Tohsaka, and Archer never adequately learned that, which is why he became brown. Also, look at the last line 20 fucking times.

>If any end was Archer End, it would have to be Continuation of the Dream

Fate got a 10% Archer chance, according to Nasu. Since he learned proper magic use, it probably isn't.

>and even that is not exactly the same. If you want proof, one word: Avalon.

He figures out he has an immense magical artifact inside of him at some point in his life. Whoop dee doo. He might've learned he had Avalon in him in UBW True after going to London, etc.

Archer didn't free Arturia.
This much is known.

The most likely Archer route is Mind of Steel, Bad End 30.
The fact that it calls this the "obvious outcome" is kind of circumstantial.

Mind of Steel happens before the Archer Arm situation.

Also I'M SPOILING THE BEST SCREEN IN THE GAEM

>And additionally you will make an enemy out of Ilya - TWICE AGAIN - if you don't show her your appreciation

Isn't one of those, y'know, the best BAD END in the game?

Did you people not see the last page of Mind of Steel?

Archer holds Kiritsugu's ideals too, bros. Though he regrets doing so.

The only Shirou who becomes Archer is Mind of Steel Shirou.
