FSN the preview

It's amazing the things you can get with utorrent. *whistles innocently*

With an English patch in hand, I bravely "got" the original uncensored version of Fate/Stay Night.

Now, I actually know a few things about FSN, since Tropers, DSers, Shrinemaiden goers, and My Anime List peeps won't shut up about the series.

For one, I already know a little bit about the character that is Rin Tohsaka. I see her everywhere . . . everywhere that knows about doujin, that is. I swear, she's almost like an unofficial mascot for Japanese independent PC games. (However, I think HakuReimu is more deserving of that title, but in a world without Touhou . . .) I also know who Saber is.

And because of the "GAR" meme, I know who Archer is. No word yet if I've become "Gay" for him yet.

And please don't tell me that people die when they're killed. Besides, that was from a fansub; a fansub of the anime adaptation of what originally a PC game. That line does not (as far as I know) exist in the English dub and official subtitled version. (P.S. I'm skipping the FSN anime and manga, just like I did with Tsukihime.)

And please keep your "Are you my master?" jokes to yourself.

With that said, I'm looking forward to FSN. Type Moon hasn't let me down yet.

Addendum: Rin looks awesome in her red jacket. We need more video game women like her; women with a killer sense in fashion.

Another Addendum: Shirou doesn't seem to be as stupid as the fanboys make him out to be. He's far from unlikable . . . for the most part.

Yet Another Addendum: This game is just beautiful. Even the intro movie is beautiful; just like a real (good) anime opener!
