I actually dove into fate recently. I work at an anime shop, and we sell NO Fate merch and I didn't realise how big a deal that is.
I finished the VN, am almost done with UBW anime. Also watched Carnival and that weird cooking spin off. I'm waiting to watch Zero with a friend who's in another city due to the rona.
Yeah for sure. I'm so glad I played the VN. I had SOMEHOW avoided spoilers completely for the series so everything (Saber's backstory being the one I'm surprised I didn't know) was so cool to me. Wish the Fate route had an adaptation but I'm not too upset about it cause UBW was my favourite route anyway.
Definitely UBW. Had my favourite ending with Rin, developed Archer's story which blew my fucking mind, and had Emiya being the coolest he gets throughout the game.
The other two are about tied to me. I loved some things (HF Rider, Illya being relevant), but didn't like some other things (Sakura).
So, I didn't do any of the tiger stamps, because I misunderstood it, and thought it was gonna be spoiler-y. So I just reloaded saves when I got to them, and only after did I find out what they actually were and I'm kicking myself because of it.
UBW is my favourite too, but I do wish it had more of Illya. Rin and Archer being super prominent makes it a good route, because they're so fun to watch. Plus you get Shirou at his snarkiest, which is great. I also prefer the ending,

I like how Shirou decides that the process of saving people is more important than the end goal, and I think that makes it more interesting than either going all in like in Fate, or abandoning it. Plus he actually starts working on his terrible mental health, which is nice.

This series is fucking fire
You should watch the Babylonia adaption, it’s pretty good.

I'm always glad to see someone else enjoying Fate. Which VN route was your favourite?
