To sum up and put together my previous posts, as well as expand them, to make F/SN sell better (as it was their first commercial product, they had only whatever fanbase doujin work Tsukihime managed to get them; KnK was a flop until the movies, and this predates those), Nasu and Takeuchi decided to make F/SN an eroge like Tsuki.

As it was, they had a female Master named Ayaka as a protagonist that summoned King Arthur. Ayaka, as the viewpoint character, would have routes that end up with different guys; most likely the other Servants, since the only other major male character known to appear was a villain. This obviously necessitates hentai CGs of Ayaka and guy 1, 2, etc. The target audience for eroges is largely male. So Takeuchi suggested swapping the genders of Ayaka and Saber, because that way you get to see a bunch of naked girls. Ayaka's character was pretty much ditched completely and Shirou was made largely from wholecloth. Saber remained King Arthur, but even ignoring the changes to his story necessary due to flipping his gender, a few things changed with her, though she remained a viable interpretation of the legendary British king. The relationship that Ayaka and Arthur were intended to have was somewhat reworked into the Rin/Archer relationship.

The other major changes include the following. Note that I organized them by spoilers for the actual Fate/Stay Night, as these events occurred when F/SN was going to be a light novel instead of a VN. Which is what prompted the eroge thing as well. This single story morphed into the three routes of F/SN. Anyway, so don't open the tags until you finish the route.

That's a pretty informative post. I'll read all of it once I finish all three routes.

Working on day 15 of UBW now, and holy crap that was a good twist. Honestly didn't expect it at all. I'm referring, of course, to

It feels like I'm the only one who had been spoiled about that before reading it.

I accidentally got a few other things spoiled, but I'm glad there was at least something I didn't know.

I was too, but at that point I'd already nearly hit it on the head with a couple guesses.

Unfortunately, I had that spoiled for me before starting the route (or at least very early on, idr). Although as a result, I took notice of the huge number of things that hint toward it. It was very well done, imo.

I can't remember if I had it spoiled for me, but if I didn't, I figured it out when Archer

I've played... actually I think the only real VN I've played is Hatoful Boyfriend, which is a shameless parody of the entire dating sim genre.

I did buy Fate Stay/Night at the last con I went to. I should probably play it one of these days, instead of just flipping through the artbook.

Yeah, it did seem kinda OoC for her. Naked Rin is pleasing on the eyes, though. :awe:

But I was actually more referring to the reason for it, in addition to the violation.

The UBW end spoiler I had spoiled for me, but it was my own fault.

I watched the FSN anime first and they told who everyone really was besides him, so I looked him up.

It's longer than UBW, but I don't think by a really significant margin.

Thanks Poui.

That's fine, it's the worst route anyway.
