I've tried to find out through Google but all I can get is wordcounts for fanfiction or one guy's quote that there's more words in FSN than Lord of the Rings.

>> No.2257254

After years of being exposed to countless discussions and image dumps of FSN, I have recently come to the final conclusion that the best, most memorable and image-worthy female characters are:

1. Caster
2. Rider

It's taken me a very long time to come to this conclusion but now that I have I feel we've arrived at the ideal solution to the problem of ongoing FSN spam -- Rider and Caster YES, others NO.

mirror moon said Tsukihime was 611374 words, and that F/sn was AROUND 3 times larger. With F/sn's script being split into a lot of files, and every word having [wrap text="_____"] in front of it, I doubt anyone will be counting it so that's probably as close as you'll get to an answer.

>> No.2257261

The Tsukihime word count is a little inaccurate as well, because there are some duplicated scenes in the script that differ by only a few lines, but they are still counted twice.

This scientific study intrigues me. Do you have any of your research notes lying around?

>> No.2257510

>>2257297

There are certain qualifications that, taken together, make them uniquely compelling, even amongst such a famous cast of female characters:

1. Both are exotically beautiful and healthy.
2. Both are deeply scarred or flawed, making for steamy relationships.
3. Both are suffering underdogs, making them worthy of heroic intervention by the mail lead (ie, by anon).
4. Both are magical/special beings, increasing their appeal.

This conclusion has taken a long time to surface, but I think most FSN posters have come to it already, either subconsciously or on purpose.

>> No.2257906

The only exception would be the presence of a yandere. A yandere always trumps all other female characters in a show or game, without exception, but also to the point of exclusion. So yanderes can be double-edged sword sometimes.

She's a loli, and a quite generic one to boot. Special power/knowledge/status mitigated by her moe factors. Only Rider and Caster have the unique attractiveness to keep coming back to.

That's why HF is the real route, and Nasu fails forever for not giving us a Caster route.

FSN is not three times larger than Tsukihime. FSN is a bit larger than Tsukihime, but certainly not that much so. Also, you only have to count the number of WRAPs.

That just doesn't make any sense. Tsukihime and F/SN both took me about 50 hours. Were there 100 hours of bad ends in F/SN?

There's no way in HELL that's only taking number of words into account. F/SN longer than Clannad and Little-Busters Ecstacy?

That's amount of text, not 'words' (Japanese doesn't have words, hurr). Yes, FSN is longer than both those games, and as you can see, it's also substantially shorter than things like Hello, World and YU-NO.

>> No.2259299

>>2259276
So you're saying that Mirror Moon cut out 6 routes in F/SN when they translated it, and just covered it up? The point I was trying to get across was that formatting and other crap like that (some VNs have manual line breaks in the script, for instance, and I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could be in there) could be taking up a bunch of space too, because anyone who has played the game should admit that it's not THAT damn long.
Being an asshole about semantics doesn't make you right either.

>> No.2259304

There we go, counted the number of word-wrappable segments in Fate/stay Night (approximately the number of words, although some things, like words separated by hyphens, may only be counted as one word, not two)

912,257

Estimates are that the LotR series is 561,792 words long, but regardless of comparisons, FSN is pretty undoubtably the largest single work of Japanese text to be translated into English.

>> No.2259320

>>2259299
What? I never said anything about that. I've never even played Mirror Moon's translation.

Remember that Fate/stay Night is an NVL game - it's filled with literal screens of text, whereas Clannad and LB!EX are AVG games, with just a textbox at the bottom. And it does generally take longer to read the same amount of text in AVG than it does in NVL. Regardless, Fate/stay Night is definitely longer in terms of raw script than those games.

This list seems kind of odd when Cross Channel is half the size of something like twinkle crusaders.

Have you played Twinkle Crusaders, though?

Yes, Cross Channel is _long_, but remember that you have to play through essentially the same bits over and over and over again to finish it.

Not for the last week, it's been beyond tough, my women's lit teacher makes me want to vomit profusely till I die, it would be a much nicer way to pass the time and I just had tri term exams and 2 papers for today and one due tomorrow.

As for reading Archer's UBW prayer we split into groups and only 1 girl got to hear it and make a comment. I was hoping to read it in front of class, wanted the word count to justify it being a novel and worthy of literary analysis.

>And it does generally take longer to read the same amount of text in AVG than it does in NVL.
Unless you fully listen to all of the spoken lines I don't see why this would be the case. Clannad definitely took me longer to read than F/SN. Clannad took me over a month while F/SN took me less than a week per route, and I spent about the same amount of time per day on both.

Well, with the powers of skimming, NVL is much faster than AVG. There's this slight downtime after you finish reading each part. It doesn't matter how long the text is, it'll still be the same. Any faster and you'll start feeling uneasy. With multiple parts, the downtime of the AVG will surpass the NVL. Then again, that's just theory. I haven't done any field research yet.

Well I guess that's one theory. I don't skim VNs though. I never do when I'm reading for pleasure.
