Why is Shirou such an ass to Kotomine when the guy constantly goes out of his way to give him advice?

He could easily ignore Shirou and watch him fail miserably or set him up for a trap, but instead he helps him and gets either a smart-ass comment or a snort in return.

Kotomine is a useless fraud of a priest with no real purpose in any of the routes. Until you witness the off the scale AWESOME that is Heaven's Feel. Other than the rest of the great stuff in the greatest route, you'll finally get some character development with Kotomine, understand his thought process and motives, and also get to see him simply being GAR. I mean like SAVE THE LOLI GAR and fucking purging the unclean and shit. And then the final epic battle at the end of Heaven's Feel. Kotomine, a character who I thought was worthless and annoying in Fate and UBW, suddenly became great when I finally got to Heaven's Feel. Hell, everything was better in Heaven's Feel.

It's only natural that Heaven's Feel was the best. Its the finale of the whole game. Where all the loose ends are wrapped up, where everything that wasn't resolved or was hidden is brought out and fixed, and its True end, despite the route itself being the saddest of the three, is made oh so sweetly happy BECAUSE it was such a tragedy. Fate and UBW serve as build-ups to the finale. It's only natural that the last route is the best one by far.

It's the same reason why Kotomine and Kiritsugu hated each other. They were so horribly similar, but they had one major difference that made them polar opposites at the same time.

It's not hard. It's easy to pay attention to both Sakura and Ilya. The route is longer than all the others and there are plenty of opportunities to get flags. I think I probably picked up way more than the required flags for both, since I got all of the Ilya scenes and always payed attention to Sakura at the same time since I like her character, and so I never ended up getting one of the pre-empted "you don't love me enough" deaths.

You are dumb. First, her H-scenes are some of the best in F/SN, and they are ALL better than that lousy excuse for an H-scene in UBW. So you're missing out. Also, you are a cold hearted bastard who is extremely narrow minded and picky. So she has to be a virgin for you to like her? Because you know she was raped, you think that you are somehow going to be "tainted" or made unclean just because you have sex with her? You're an idiot. Your logic is twisted. You're worse than moralfags.

Also, if your grievance against Sakura is that she's a "slut" then that doesn't work either. She is a perfect girl normally, but she likes sex. But in case you haven't figured it out yet, she's a faithful slut. She's devoted to one person: you. I don't know if you've gotten to the part where she turns into Dark Sakura, but if you haven't, then I guess you can wait. If you have, then you already know what I'm talking about. She feels disgusted when other people touch her. She loves Shirou and is devoted to him. Hell, if you get the bad end where Shirou dies, she stays faithfully waiting for him to come home until the day she gets old and dies. It's hard to find devotion like that in a girl. She has suffered a lot, but she still won't lose hope in you. Sakura truly loves Shirou.

Well, that's a legitimate reason. Everyone has their own preferences for personality. Personally, I don't like Rin much. I guess I thought she would be a nice girl way back when I was playing Fate, but as I started to go through UBW and then finally through HF, I started to view her as kind of a bitch. I don't like her that much, and I couldn't get attached to her in UBW much at all. Sakura on the other hand, is a perfect waifu and I just want to hold her and tell her I'll be there for her and protect her.

>>1603209

Well, I wasn't just addressing you specifically, the rant was directed at the usual group, your post just happened to be a good opportunity. There is an option in the installation that skips the H-scenes right? When I first installed it, I remember that being an option. I agree though, the story is pretty good. If you don't like to fap to VNs then they would certainly get in the way, considering that there's several of them in HF.

I cannot say I've disliked HF, but it was far too overhyped.

- It's certainly longer than the other 2 routes, but just a bit longer, not twice as long as some people used to claim before.

- Deep plot? Not really (or, at least, not particularly deeper in comparison to the other routes).

- Mysteries solved, that's true.

- Awesome battles? Just Shirou vs Saber Alter. Shirou vs Berserker was an awesome scene, but a shitty battle. Shirou vs Kotomine was badass too, but it was a mediocre battle at best.

- I found Sakura to be boring, seriously boring and uninteresting. She felt like the typical main character in shoujo mangas. Her story was sad, but I found no relevant depth in it, as some people used to claim. In this regard, I'll go with Fujino or Kohaku any time. Those were good and interesting tragic characters, in my opinion.

- Badass Shirou? Hell Yes. More interesting? Hell No.

- Fast pacing? No, seriously no. The first 10 days felt like some sort slice of slice with a touch of suspense, but that's it.

And yeah, it's kinda sad. But not half as sad for me as Fate end or HF True end, because Ilya sacrifices herself for Shirou in the true end. Ilya, who had known much worse pain than Sakura and had never really known happiness like Sakura had for the two years with Shirou.

Despite all that Ilya might have been a bit twisted, but was a much stronger person and didn't wallow in disgusting self-pity like Sakura. All it took for Ilya was a few days to go from nothing to a truly great person.

Yes, she "sinned." So did Shirou by abandoning his ideals and "sacrificing many to save the one most important to me."

But this is the natural progression of F/SN. This is the end of the line that he was supposed to reach. His ideals were childish and naive, believing that he could save everyone without having to sacrifice others. In Fate he holds on to that belief and has it reinforced. This will lead him to become just like Archer, disenchanted and hating himself in the end. Which brings us to UBW, where he realizes that his ideals are naive and that saving one person means that you could not save another, and that people will only save the people who are on their side. This is what his father told him. This is also where he confronts the idea of the anti-heroes who can not be saved. You may save the many innocents, but the villain was not saved. This prepares the next progression to HF, where he abandons his ideals and decides that if he's going to save someone, he should save the person that he loves. Even at the cost of others. He comments in UBW on how his life is empty, as if he was dead because he does not live for himself since his life should have ended long ago. In HF, he decides that he can still be a hero, but he should live for the ones important to him, because living for himself gives him a sense of self.

Wherever anon falls in the spectrum is not important. You can't say its Sakura's fault. He chose his path on his own. And you don't seem to understand that merely being punished by dying (if he had killed Sakura after finding out) doesn't change anything. Atonement comes from living with the guilt. They both will carry that burden of the things they lost with them forever.

I was also sad when Ilya sacrificed herself for Shirou. She basically just did for him what Shirou was about to do for Sakura. Sacrifice herself for the one that she loved. She basically took his place because it was within her power to do so and save him, and because she was going to die soon regardless, just like Shirou was. It was very sad.

But that being said, I don't think you can say she had "much worse pain" than Sakura. They endured different kinds of pain, though I'd say that Sakura had it a bit worse. She had no one to rely on to protect her, nobody was there and nobody cared. With Ilya, at least she had Berserker to protect her in the wilderness against the beasts during the training.

I can forgive someone for self-pity, especially in Sakura's case. In fact, I'd say she was very strong, maintaining her determination through those 11 years, where she didn't know happiness, and then getting a taste of it when she meets Shirou and starts gaining hope and emotions again. It's hard to break out of the emotionless armor you put on yourself after enduring that kind of abuse. She was always alone before, so coming out of her shell to put hope in another person must have been very frightening.

True. Rin at her most epic is at the end of HF. That's one of the reasons that HF is better than the other two. The characters who usually don't do anything decide to DO something awesome, and characters who got little or no development suddenly are developed, including Sakura. And the main characters that are usually doing something awesome decide that they can go ahead and continue being awesome in HF.

Yeah, Rin's route is somewhat hijacked by the Archer/Shirou subplot, moreso than Shirou's development in the other two routes draws attention from the heroine.

But then again, as you kind of bring up, it's offset by the fact that she gets so much attention in the other two routes as well. As opposed to Sakura, who basically disappears not even a quarter of the way through Fate and UBW, or Saber, who gets a lot of attention in Fate and UBW but is knocked out early on in HF.

All you anons who are condemning Sakura are getting your morals backwards.

You are condemning someone who didn't do anything wrong, but was tortured and abused for most of her life. At the same time, you then condemn her when she is finally pushed over the edge with the help of the shadow and kills Shinji. Unlike Sakura, Shinji deserved to be punished. He inflicted pain and harm on others first. Sakura isn't the criminal here. She is just retribution.

Heaven's Feel talks a lot about good and evil. Kotomine talks about how both sides are angels of God, and that one cannot exist without the existence of the other. Angra Mainyu also represents this. He is evil created to prove to others that they are good. That's just Kotomine speaking though.

And if you are saying that "she doesn't deserve happiness" and all that, then who does? What did she do to deserve the things that happened to her? If you can be blameless and still don't deserve happiness, then nobody deserves happiness. The people that she consciously decided to kill are Shinji who abused her brutally when she didn't do anything wrong, and Zouken who tortured her by changing her circuits and body into a Holy Grail with the worms. Killing them is not crime, it is divine retribution for their crimes, as Kotomine would probably say, given his example of the Evil angel of God.

My other point is that Sakura doesn't hurt anyone until the Angra Mainyu, her shadow starts to take her over and forces it. She is killing the people subconsciously, so how can you blame her for that? That's Angra Mainyu and Zouken controlling her body, not Matou Sakura. On her own, she would never have hurt anyone, even though she was hurt so much by others. She just wanted her small wish of being near Shirou. She accepted that her life sucked, and she didn't care as long as she could have that opportunity for that small happiness.

A. Shinji was treated like utter shit and didn't have anyone to care for him. His family treated him like air and Sakura pitied him. Just because he was ppular at school didn't mean anything to him. It was his family and Sakura he had the grudge against. Shinji didn't deserve any of the ire from his family just because he was born that way.

B. What did Shinji do to deserve ire in his childhood? He was condemned for being born with no magical circuits. Even by his own father. I see no justice in hating Shinji yet saying Sakura had it hard too.

She's never done anything to put him in a cage. She's not allowed to be a bit possessive about the one person who has brought her happiness? The one she loves? Who ISN'T possessive about the one they love? Wouldn't you want to protect that person, keep them from getting hurt, and keep other people from taking that person away from you? By the point in the story you're talking about, she's not done anything wrong.

I also think you're forgetting, but "learn that he'll be alright" doesn't apply in this case. Its the holy grail war. Most of the masters are supposed to die.

The Holy Grail War is like saying "Have confidence in me, I'm going to walk into this burning building and emerge from the other side, don't worry about me, I'm not going to die or get seriously hurt."

And not being jealous is a fantasy. Even if you trust the person you love completely there is some degree of jealousy when someone else is interacting with that person, especially in her case as she didn't think he was interested in her and so wouldn't have any reason not to get involved with anyone else.

"When somebody is treated like shit for their entire life, they are entitled to do something about it."

Oh ok, then there's nothing wrong with Sakura killing the fucking bastard for abusing her when she didn't do anything to him. "She pitied me?" Are you fucking kidding? That's all the justification somebody needs to become a monster?

She was the stronger person for enduring the pain for so long without striking back at others. Shinji is just a cowardly weak bastard who takes out all of his insecurities on others so he can feel good. And he's taking it out on people who haven't done anything to him. And whatever injuries you think Sakura inflicted upon Shinji's poor, delicate psyche (sarcasm) with her pity, she didn't choose to replace him. She was forced to against her will. How can you blame her for that?

You can only have a truly healthy relationship when you love yourself. It's not about you being good enough for another person, or that person being good enough for you. It's about you being good enough for you, to begin with.

Two people who like themselves getting together don't need to worry about stupid shit like "WHAT DOES SHE THINK ABOUT ME? MY ENTIRE LIFE IS DEFINED BY THIS QUESTION!" They just do things together, ask themselves if they enjoy it or not, and then move on from there.

They build piece by piece a relationship built off of talking and acting. The foundation is their own inner character, not the necessity of being with each other. They're with each other because they want to be, not because they have to be.

The problem with the majority of people in the world is they define themselves by others. That just causes all sorts of problems and shitty relationships.

Don't get me wrong on this one, but the exact opposite is also a very bad way to build personal relationships.

Going around and generally thinking you're fucking awesome while you're actually quite the asshole with an overblown ego is mighty fine for you, but that doesn't exactly create a good foundation for a friendship or a relationship. Narcissism in all of its true glory makes one of the most annoying characteristics a person can have.

I doubt it's possible for people to be agreeable without realizing what other people think of them. I don't mean to say that you should live up to someone's every expectation, but going around saying "AWESOME" every time you see a mirror is in general a bad way of dealing with others.

Having said that, dealing with other people often changes yourself or your opinions. In a way, the influence society has on you redefines you ever so slightly as time passes. I doubt anyone can define themselves without considering the opinion of others about themself.

As on the subject of long-term relationships after a while when you start noticing the short-comings of the person you thought was so great, you either decide that you can deal with that or not.

First, I'd like to say that there will always be people who don't understand the struggles or personalities of some of the characters in the game, seeing as how the three heroines are all so different. People may be trying to justify Shinji here because they experienced something similar in their own lives and so when they read his little speech, Sakura turned into someone that they hate, instead of the character in the game.

But the truth is that there is plenty of blame to go around to everyone. To the Matous for being so cruel. To Sakura for finally accepting Angra Mainyu and her bitterness and anger at the world, and then killing people. To Rin for not noticing her sister's silent pain. I can go on and on. But that's what makes the whole story tragic.

Heaven's Feel is a tragedy. It is not a happy story. Everything that is happening, you'll be screaming "No! No! No! It shouldn't have happened! That shouldn't be happening like that! If only Event X hadn't happened in the past to cause this!"

But even through the tragedy, people are trying hard. Sakura, Shirou, and Rin are all struggling with themselves and their love and concern for the people important to them. And while the story itself is a tragedy, the ending is not. It's a real ending. They are rewarded for their sacrifices and struggles, and can find happiness, but are not completely free of guilt and must live with it to atone. So its a good ending. That's why I like Heaven's Feel. It was thoroughly enjoyable. It's the best route.

lol wuut. So basically, Sakura has to be condemned as well because she was the object of his jealousy? This is ridiculous beyond words.

The story made it clear that Sakura was forced in this mess and was certainly not trying and not willing to take Shinji's place (proved by the Command spells turned into books).

Shinji couldn't get over the fact he has no talent whatsoever. Instead of swallow it like a man, he just goes all frustrated by his own weaknesses and others' talents.
This is understandable, but what is not normal nor good is the fact that he is actually rejecting the faults to others and take over them instead of using his own means and abilities to fix/contourn the problem (or accept the inability to fix that).
And if you add the fact he was raping her and so on, despite he KNOWS she is a mere tool being completely breaking apart mentally and physically, it is just plainly unforgivable.

Then this goes back to their roots where Sakura pitied Shinji and it only helped in turning him into the person he is.

The fact is, Sakura and the Makiri family are responsible for Shinji because they turned him into that person.No love, no care, no support.

Shinji's only a human who couldn't deal with having no one that cared about him.

Had Sakura actually cared about Shinji when they were younger he probably would've been different. Even though she was an outsider.

He's only human. It's the same with Sakura.

They're both human they didn't deserve any of the pain during their childhoods.

I didn't say "ego." I said "character." You have to define yourself by yourself, not by others. This also means being honest about your own qualities and seeking to understand your short-comings.

People assume that strong people are somehow just magically strong. They aren't. They've isolated their own weaknesses, and killed them or compensated for them. They're sure of themselves because they know their own limits. They've acquired experiences that give them concrete character.

This is why you can tell the difference between someone who has self-confidence and someone who is just faking it.

You're mistaking "self love" for "self delusion." Self love is about being able to be confident with who you are, happy to be alive, and looking forward to growing as a person, while not being willing to sell yourself or your interests short for anyone. You act solely for yourself in this world, but also realize that creatively interacting with other people will get you many things.

A self deluding person thinks they're the best without actually having the inner strength or abilities to back it up. They go through life convinced of their own importance without actually acting the role. They think they're important, but just use others without actually thinking about long-term benefits to themselves. They end up destroying themselves because they can't control their own self-interests, and usually end up slaves to their own vices and emotions.

A rational person places his own interests before any other person's interests, but that doesn't mean that he can't find his happiness by working with others. He just has the choice of whether he wants to or not, and how and who he wants to associate with.

Humans can build wonderful things because they're selfish creatures that are rational enough to realize that 10 hands working in unison can construct more and quicker than 2 hands alone can do. They are also intelligent enough to realize when 4 out of those 10 hands are a detriment to the project and disassociate themselves from them.

I would suggest that he is not listing two "basic" instincts. Basic ones are natural ones. Fear of death is an animalistic instinct. All creatures fear it equally. The desire for power is a human instinct, though, when it's not a sexual desire. Material and societal power has evolved beyond merely animal concerns.

With this rise, I also state that the desire for our own destruction is a human instinct that is very alien to animals, too. Only humans would, when confronted with logic they cannot deny, continue running to their own death willingly and gleefully.

Sakura is condemned for the fact she didn't appreciate the people who loved her.

Shinji is condemned for the fact he treated people like crap.

It's not Shinji's fault he had no talent. He was only a child. Everyone is unique in some way, Shinji wasn't.
Shinji had no means to get over it. He was alone. Not every human can be alone and deal with that. Shinji was someone who had no one to support him through his life.

It wasn't jealousy that made Shinji to do what he did but hatred. Hatred for the Makiri.

Okay, I'm getting tired of hearing that.

I'm going to ask you a few questions. You say Sakura didn't appreciate the people who loved her. She hadn't met Shirou yet. Her real father died in the Grail War. Her sister Rin was separated from her and wasn't allowed to see her even if she wanted to because of the pact between the two families. So at the time she was being abused, who was there to love her? Are you implying that the Matous loved Sakura? If so, I would like you to explain clearly just how torturing her with the worms to change her into a disposable Holy Grail, and brutally raping her to take out frustrations about not being special equate to love. She had nobody and nothing. She was truly alone. Shinji had friends at school, and he was even friends with Shirou during his childhood. If he wanted to, he could have led a normal life. Sakura never had a choice and was kept in that graveyard pit of a room.

Without Angra Mainyu's influence, she was still able to accept that her life sucked and that others could be happy. She was only selfish in one thing, and that was when she decided to find happiness by being near Shirou, even if she could never act on her love for him for fear of damaging her fragile happiness. She never did anything wrong. She appreciated those people, and she even admits that she knew that Rin cared about her (before Angra Mainyu finally transforms her into Dark Sakura) and that's why she calls Rin "Nee-san." She appreciated the people who loved her. The few who did.

Really? I don't see it that way. After having both treated people badly, living without considering anyone else as well as being treated badly I've come to live like that and I consider myself a good person, worse that many but better than most. If I don't think about it then I can come across as unemotional or cold at times but based on my experiences and observing people I don't think keeping that rule in mind is a bad thing.

... Did you even play through Heaven's Feel? It says that she didn't live in her room and that it was there for appearances. It said that she spent most of her time being trained in the green pit room with the worms. And Shinji grew jealous because he wasn't told about the room and found it by accident and saw Zouken torturing her in it. But he saw it as a sign of Zouken's approval for Sakura over him, and hated her for it. That's the room.

Now, as far as her "not appreciating" it during the events of F/SN and she should have just done nothing and kept the happiness she held on to before... I'm sorry but that seems kind of hard to do when you have Angra Mainyu breathing down your back and your beloved Senpai keeps getting hurt and you're going to die but you don't want to worry him so you try to hide it, but he finds out anyway and the relationship escalates even though you tried to keep it the way it was because you were scared of hurting him.

Basically that last rant was to point out to you that you are condemning her for not appreciating her little happiness by keeping it the way it was. But she TRIED to keep it the way it was, even though she was in a SERIOUS situation, she didn't want to ruin it. But when Shirou found out, she couldn't keep his determined self from trying to help her with everything he had.

Even though Sakura got through so much shit, I can't help but dislike her romance with Shirou. Maybe their interaction felt forced, or I just plainly don't like her.

Everyone has "darkness" in their heart.
Little or much most people keep it inside and don't act on it, which she did until Angra Manyu removed her inhibitions. I'd be a pretty damn awful monster if I acted on all the bad things I've ever thought of. There'd be lakes of blood and shit (well I'd get gunned down before long I suppose but it's the thought that matters).

She had a huge lot of suppressed rage inside. That doesn't make her a bad person in itself but it did make her an excellent host for Angra Manyu, which wasn't really her fault.

>> No.1604490

So as the thread has gone on, the things people are criticizing Sakura for have been reduced down to one fault:

She complains in the end about her situation.

You are all heartless bastards if you believe that she isn't entitled to complain for all that happened to her. Can you even imagine what that would be like? You try to say that she's evil, because she finally takes revenge on the people who tortured her for no reason. That logic is completely silly, so there's no need to counter it when its been countered several times already. Its the complaining that you are resorting to now. She complains and blames Rin for some of it. But Rin is partly at fault. For never coming to help her sister, never talking to her, even at school. Rin was all about "being a proper Magus" before caring for her own sister. Even though she secretly cared, and the normal Sakura realized this and admits it, it surely doesn't seem that way to Dark Sakura, who is crazed and blinded by Angra Mainyu's evil anyway. It's easy to see how Rin could have made a difference, and that means that Sakura can complain about that too. Why not? Of all the characters in Fate/Stay Night, Matou Sakura is the one who has the most right to complain, be angry, and pity herself. She is amazingly strong for enduring her pain for so long. Her self-pity only comes out after she meets Shirou and experiences a fragile happiness for the first time. A happiness that became threatened by the Grail War.

hahaha owow, GTFO with your Shinji badass faggotry
Shinji believed almost his whole life that he was special, and with that in mind he constantly looked down upon everyone else, though in realtiy he knew he couldn't use magic, that he was an inferior being as a magus but hid that fact under his mask of arrogance. He's the prototype of a narcist.
His psyche broke steadily down in the course of events when his supposedly personal slave Sakura, his rival friend Shirou and his affection Rin turned against him.
Sure, the first time his mind was shattered, was when he discovered that Sakura got selected as succesor of the Matou family.

He's a gigantic faggot. He had everyhtig but never appreciated it and lost it all through his own selfish actions.

Sakura felt abandoned by her real family and was abused by the Matou's. She closed her heart to live through the pain, but was afraid of killing herself.
Then she met Shirou and he quickly became affected to him. She was glad just being close by him and afraid of rejection because of her shameful existence. That was why she didn't want to cross the line in her relation to Shirou, though she had dreamed of a possibility of salvation
