I'm glad there's no female protagonist in Reload.

The female mc was always niche and only chosen by a small minority of people much like fem shep in the Mass Effect series. Despite journos claiming otherwise there's no point in the devs wasting money writing and designing a female character next to no one will play.

Would you recommend Extella and or Extella Link at $14 or $15? Is it something that I would be able to just pick up and enjoy without knowing anything about the series?

What do you mean by "The worst habits in Fate are missing or generally dialed-down in those games.?

And thanks, Queen Nothing. Appreciate you for sharing your opinion with me.

Fate has a ... creative tendency towards the brutalization & sexual assault of women & girls, as well as for overt & excessive sexualization. The sexualization is still there in Extella and Extella Link, but the IP's traditional use of sexual violence is entirely missing in these games, as well as pornographic sequences.

As for how much you'll want to know the lore, the two games try to take it light on lore (for Fate, at any rate), and Extella glosses over Fate/Extra. Both games come with glossaries to explain the terminology and lore that they do use. Strictly speaking, you don't need to know the lore to play Fate/Extella and Extella Link, but expect confusion.

As for value, $15 is a good value for either of the games today. Extella's Warriors-style hack-and-slash gameplay is basic, and Extella Link is a little more refined and challenging, but you'll be spending at least as much time in the visual-novel experience as in the battles themselves, especially in Extella.

Fate Samurai Remanent came out recently on steam, its a good action rpg with musou like elements. GIve it a look if your interested.

This series started with a VN that is somewhat annoying to get. I can help you get it if you have any interest in that. Other than that there is the fate go mobile game.

Or if you just want some info, I can tell you that too.

I saw the Fate/Samurai Remnant game, but it's probably out of my price range for now at least.

I actually found the VN on the first place I looked, or at least I think I did. It's called 'Fate/Stay Night', correct? It being an "eroge" helped me find it, but VNDB has this thing listed at like 90 hours long... and there appears to be a fandisc called 'Fate/Hollow Ataraxia' also. Not sure I can sink that kind of time into a visual novel, but, I already downloaded it so I'll try and read a bit over the next few nights and see if it sticks.

I've never really tried mobile games so that's probably out for me, especially since I'm still living that iPhone 6 Plus life. I checked for fun just to see if I could even run it, and it said iPhone 5 or better so I guess I could, but can only imagine how fast that would drain my old battery.

Are the EXTELLA games decently good? Or something that someone can just pick up and play without the need of playing or reading other material? Is one noticeable better than the other? I'm assuming these will be on sale during the Steam Autumn event.

And thanks for the info; I always appreciate it.

Fate/Extella and Fate/Extella Link are alright, though Link is kind of a filler plot. The worst habits in Fate are missing or generally dialed-down in those games. Can't really speak to old-school Fate/Extra (between Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and P3P, I was kinda over the PSP in general), but I'll be trying the remake coming soon, especially since it looks like it'll include the content from Fate/Extra CCC.

Would you recommend Extella and or Extella Link at $14 or $15? Is it something that I would be able to just pick up and enjoy without knowing anything about the series?

I don't know what you found, but I highly doubt you got the vn. It's not just a click and install. You generally have to find each route, then apply cracks to said route, then apply patches. I think there may have been an installer or 2 around but there is a site that says it has it in English and it is malware. Can you send me the link you got it from? Actually this will be much easier with direct messaging if you friend me.

I appreciate the information on the games and franchise in general. I'd rather something be lighter on the lore, to be honest. And I like hack'n'slash games where you can kind of just chill, sort of turn your brain off and just have some fun with the gameplay and characters. If I really start to enjoy hte characters and stuff then I'll explore more options and dig deeper with the lore.

So, I'll probably pick up either Extella and or Extella Link if they're on sale during the upcoming Steam Autumn sale. We'll see.

Again, thanks a lot, Queen Nothing, for the information and sharing your opinions!

Yep, three routes 'Fate Stay Night' (Saber route), 'Unlimited Blade Works' (Rin route), and 'Heaven's Feel' (Sakura route) each with its own executable. There's also an optional "Ultimate Edition" patch that merges everything into a single executable I guess, but I didn't bother with that.

Patches for H-scenes, Vita Op, Vita OST, Flowchart. Nothing to install either, just extract and move some files to the appropriate location, which is all pretty standard and easy stuff to do. I already played and tested it last night so it's good, but the community where I got it I have complete trust in and have been there for many years. Appreciate you looking out though and making sure I'm good.

Oh good, ok then, btw did you get the re-translation option patch? I've got a screen shot down here to show you where it is in the options.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1140119764769964053/1176281309824430131/image.png?ex=656e4c56&is=655bd756&hm=043fa51b068ea482ca0787ba9f4abbb2ffeb8de087df3b01191932717d9663d1&=&width=1052&height=592
But I think it was exclusive to the ultimate edition. I would highly recommend the re-trans. It reads a lot better and is supposedly more accurate to how the author wrote with his unique prose. i personally use the ultimate patch, it allows you to replay voice lines, load from the log itself, has more control over what is and isn't shown, up-scaled assets, access Vita/mobile, PS2, and original 2004 PC opening movies in high resolution, option to use the remixed soundtracks from the Vita/mobile release. etc.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1140119764769964053/1176286356121587852/image.png?ex=656e5109&is=655bdc09&hm=01a2ecb7ed4c63a447124e15f1178fb05bdab84dd79f660d0664b7f307a5b531&=&width=1052&height=592
But if you don't feel like it, then that's fine, And yes the visual novel is good. Btw the order is the fate route, then ubw, then Heavens Feel, that is the intended order and the ultimate edition forces you to play it in that order. Each route builds off the others. So doing them out of order can cause you to not fully understand things. The fate route is considered the most bland, it basically sets up the world and introduces you to the main character as well as being the route that does Saber's arc very well. Also I would highly recommend reading the bad ends, you can save before every choice, the bad ends also lead to the very funny taiga dojo which is a pokes fun at things in the story and tells you what you did wrong. Most of the time the advice boils down to "go and pick the other option", but not always as there are sometimes some complicated things.

Also as a side note, where did you get it from? Beast lair?

She wasn't even made specifically for female players. As Atlus says, she was made for people who want an alternate take on the story, and the male mc is the intended experience. She wasn't made to appeal to female players. She was just an alternate take on the story of p3 that they decided to make female.

Game has future DLC, so who knows. I don't have anything against FEMC, but there are people who want to play as her and it would be better for the game to grab all auditory it can

she was made to appeal to the female playerbase or they wouldnt go so far to give her a route a more genuine female experience compared to just reskinning her from a male model to female. I had a hard time relating to yukari with the male route while female she was my fav character cause she reminded me of my time in highschool with my best friend

If she was made as an "alternative take" for male players' enjoyment, she'd be sexualized to Hell and gone. Even Maya wasn't allowed to be prominent without metal-trimmed hearts stamped over her breasts.
