>DURRRR NEVER LEARNED FROM 4th GRAIL WAR

This is the reason i like Saber.

dumb blonde anime girl and some old guy with long arms.flv

I don't get why Shirou didn't understand Archer was him right away

I mean, who else could have those ridiculous orangutan arms

>>5211810

On a side note - how old is summoned Archer? I mean not how long he existed as guardian, but how old he was when he died.

He can't be 20-25, Shirou would defenitly realized that Archer looks like him. So it must be around 35-40.

>>5211824
28

>>5211827

Some proof, perhaps?

>>5211810

Kotomine.

And Kiritsugu

And Soichirou

>>5211824

Actually, being that old might explain the hair if not the skin.

>>5211999
Supposedly the tanned shin and white hair are the effect of burning out your magic circuits so much, which he apparently did as he grew up learning to use his power.

He could've saved the world if he just told Shirou the stock market results. Becoming super millionaire beats being dirt poor war hero.

Mana abuse scale
Normal Hair -> Purple Hair -> White Hair
Though Archer also managed to get tanned.

>>5212031
Sakura didn't get purple hair for mana abuse, she basically got a foreign element inside her, which caused her purple heair and eyes.

>>5212015

It's not from using it too much, it's from using the flawed artificial circuit method too much.

Which is what Shirou did before Tohsaka showed him how to do it right.

>>5212049

>before Tohsaka showed him how to do it right.

He just had to j-j-j-j....

>>5211810

I thought it said he realized who archer was immediately, he just refused to admit it and was in denial.

>>5212071

jelly it in?

I'd just to interject here guys and say that FSN is HEAPS better with the Realta Nua patch.

>>5212359
BEST END
Fuck the haters

>>5212359

And dolphins.

>>5212049

You could say that Tohsaka gave him the blueprints, and Shiro naturally went to work.

>>5212366
It was only tacked on to satisfy the Saber fans who complained about the original. It's the F/SN equivalent to the Arcueid Good End from Tsukihime.

>>5212807

Which isn't bad, because Arcueid's True End sucked balls.

>>5212399
You lost me.jpg

>>5212815
I though it was OK. You preferred the good end which was ridiculously saccharine?

>>5212823

Yes, as opposed to WHAT YOU'RE LEAVING WHY end.

>>5212807
It's not like it NULLS the point of the original.
'Yay, she still left, and after a life full of hardships we meet in AFterlife, magnificent'.

>>5212836
If think Shirou should have met Kotomine in the afterlife instead who would then ask "Want some?" That would have been a better ending.

>>5212825
You need to understand that Saber was already "dead".
She had already lived the life of king arthur, and was later conviced that it had been a good life, a life that she should be proud of, both for her achievements and the ones who worked under her.

Everything that happened in f/sn was a nice extra she had the privelage to experience "after" she had died.
Other than realta nua's end (fanservice..) it was the only end where she came to peace with herself, accepted that her life had been good, was grateful for the what she had learned and then went to "sleep" as she should.

It was nothing wrong, it was nothing sad, it was simply as it should be, and it was good.
Both Shirou and Saber knew that at the end of the true end.

>>5212864
GLORIOUS.

>>5212891
And then Shirou finally accepts and they eat a plate of mapo tofu together.

>>5212807
Not really. It has actual substance and isn't just pandering to the fans. At the very least it's better than HF true or either UBW end.

>>5212896
Sure sure, it might not be bad.
WHat I meant was basically how the only reason it even exists is because of how popular Saber managed to get.

Does anyone know where I can get a torrent for Fate/Stay without the British Digital Economy Bill raping me up the ass? I can't find it on Nyaatorrents or /rs/.

>>5212896
They shouldn't have been able to meet. Saber is after all trapped in the Throne of Heroes and the spirits in it are isolated from everything else.

>>5212927

No, really. Merlin pulled something.

>>5212935
I know that's the justification offered, but a wizard shouldn't be able to override the throne of heroes.

fap fap fap fap fap

>>5212942

Well, that's what the Third Magic does. So, clearly, old weirdy beardy got his hands on it, some how.

>>5212912
Bitgamer or that /jp/ filesharing page

The world had no need for heroes anymore so all the heroes were freed.

>>5212906
Console ports of eroge usually have added content, and adding another ending to the only route that only had one ending in the original game makes sense regardless of Saber's popularity. Sure her popularity played some role in it but saying that's the sole reason is being presumptuous.

If the only things the console port added were voices, dragons, and dolphins, I wouldn't have bought it.

>>5212942
You do know that pulling crap from the Throne and then messing with it when it's supposed to go back is exactly what the Einzberns did when they built the greater grail?

>>5212975
>>5213014
Yes, but the grail simply summoned a reduced copy of the heroic spirit, not the spirit itself. If the same applied in this case, then Shirou got to spend the afterlife with a copy of Arthuria while the real Arthuria stayed stuck in the throne of heroes. Not exactly a happy ending.

>>5213038
Arturia does not work that way

>>5212978
Any links to that /jp/ filesharing page?

>>5213050
It didn't before she gave up seeking the grail and died. After she does that, her pact with the world takes effect and she became a normal heroic spirit.

>>5213038
You keep using words like "stuck" and "trapped" as if the Throne were a place or somewhere were she'd even be conscious.

It's a file cabinet outside time continuum that just keeps the original record.

>>5213061
An anon got mad at me though the last time I shared it

>>5213014
Not really.
The great grail can establish some connection to akasha and it is built around the Einzbern's Sorcery Trait, "Wish-Granting", that allowed them to perform any type of magic without knowing how the spell for it.
The einzberns were still restricted by mana and magic circuits though and therefore they aimed to build the grail which would allow them to bypass that restriction.

>>5213038

Ah ha! No, you would be wrong on that. What is pulled from the Throne is the TRUE SOUL, not a copy. That's what's so fucking crazy about the Grail War.

>>5213064
If they're not conscious in some way, then how would they be able to interact with the memories their copies gather? Isn't it said that Archer has a small chance of stumbling upon the memories of what happened in the 5th grail war?

>>5213067

Well fuck that guy, it was meant to be shared.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT. It won't let me copy/paste from the goddamn wiki. Here.

http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Heroic_Spirit#Servants.E2.80.99_Case

That's what I was trying to paste over.

>>5213087
>how would they be able to interact with the memories their copies gather

...they don't. It's just information. Souls themselves are just records. Until they get summoned somewhere and manifested, they're not even people, just clumps of data. They don't sleep in stasis dreaming or mulling over shit, they straight out don't exist as actual beings until they are summoned, they go back to being nothing when theyir role is done, and they gain nothing from the trip because, existing outside of time, all information from each summoning is already there to begin with.
