/jp/ here. Nasu's writing in Tsukihime is pretty rough and uneven compared to some of his later works, but his distinctive style is still very present. I wouldn't call it brilliant writing, but it's certainly not bad either, especially when compared to other doujin works of the time. It's a classic for a reason.

FSN is kind of a mess until Heaven's Feel, where Hoshizora Meteor's influence really becomes apparent.

Nasu's best writing is in Mahoutsukai no Yoru. Too bad it'll never be finished because FGO is too profitable.

If you read a translated VN and like the story but feel it was poorly written its impossible to know whether it was the writer or translator at fault.

Strong anti-weaboo is strong anti-4chan and pirating unreleased games is pretty anti consumerist to me.

To be more precise, the game tries to install itself in "Program Files" even on 64bit systems, when it should be installing itself to "Program Files (x86)" instead, and that's why it doesn't boot.

That makes no sense. You can put 32-bit executables in the "Program Files" directory and 64-bit executables in the "Program Files (x86)" directory and they'll run just fine. The directory name is just for convenience.

Most likely the problem is related to permissions, so as long as you install outside of a system folder it's fine.
