The Fate franchise has undoubtedly been one of the biggest franchises for a long time, with the countless adaptations it has had throughout the years it has existed and has continued to attract attention with the large number of characters and stories they have told. Even today there are people who do not know any of the origins of this franchise and it seems that for those who are barely informed, the way in which this visual novel was presented at the beginning bothered them.
Fate/Stay Night remaster upsets a group of people over its content
Going back a bit, the Fate franchise decided to go back to its origins by taking the decision to remaster the Fate/Stay Night visual novel for the 20th anniversary, so avid fans could enjoy this title again after so long, as well as new fans could learn about the origins of this story. However, it wasn’t all great things, as some people complained about the type of content shown in the visual novel, which took them by surprise.
As many will remember, Fate/Stay Night was a visual novel full of various eye-catching elements, unique characters and memorable situations for fans, but one element it had was certain moments that were only of a very varied H-type. And the fact is that the work was originally intended to be a work for a specific audience, containing scenes of this style in its original version, so many fans were quite surprised when they found out about this.
Several people were upset when they found out that Fate/Stay Night had scenes of this style in the work, which left a bad impression on those who knew this information for the first time, saying that it made no sense to impose them in the visual novel. However, there were several fans who came out to defend the original novel saying that at the beginning it was focused on another audience and that despite this it has come out ahead becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
Let’s remember that the remake of Fate/Stay Night was released on the 7th of this month, so fans who knew this game for the first time in 2004 and of course new fans who want to know how this franchise started, will be able to play it again. In addition, it should be mentioned that compared to the original novel, this version does not contain any of the aforementioned scenes, but the original essence remains the same and can be enjoyed by anyone.
For those who don’t know what Fate/Stay Night is about, the story takes us to the city of Fuyuki, where magicians celebrate a tradition to find the root. There, 7 magicians called “masters” gather to obtain an unimaginable power for them: “the holy grail”, which is capable of fulfilling any wish of its bearer. By means of a special ritual, they each invoke the soul of a “servant” hero, who will battle until only one is left standing and will rise with the holy grail.
In the heat of the Fourth Holy Grail War, 10 years ago, a magician named Kiritsugu Emiya saved the life of Shirou Emiya. They began to live together as the young man implored the magician to teach him magic, no matter how much he refused. And so, one night, on Kiritsugu’s deathbed, Shirou promised him that he would become a hero. Time has passed and the days of peace are left behind when Shirou is attacked by a servant, but then a knight appears before his eyes and saves his life, and from here Shirou’s destiny began to take shape.
