I think for pacing reasons maybe. Some of them are like 30 minute standalone short stories, like the one about Soujuurou's mysterious part-time job. Might not have fit that well into the flow of the main story.

He's pretty much alone on appreciating Diarmuid's beauty, tho. The only other people are Iskandar (a canonically bisexual man and Kayneth, apparently (who had reasons to notice his beauty, in some kind of way).
>>
As much as I like the way Tsukihime is written, I'm very happy it's a visual novel and the adaptation sucks anyway because because it's very hard to take Shiki seriously when you actually look at him. He works really well as a kind of Poe/Lovecraft protagonist but he doesn't have the appearance to match so seeing pretty boy whiney edgy fucko just throws all the delerium/paranoia/insanity he's good at depicting out of the window. At least very little of that matters in Melty. But still, have him look like a fuckin' weirdo, it's fine, it'd be more charming anyway. Don't have to make him outwardly ugly either, Yukito in AIR accomplished similar (though that wasn't a horror game)

>>50929810
>But still, have him look like a fuckin' weirdo

No, it's not you dumbass foid. Shiki is supposed to be a Japanese pretty boy, he's called handsome multiple times so making him look goofy would be retarded. Remake Shiki looks okay, Nanaya was more handsome though.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>50929891
>>50930161
Well like I said, you don't have to make him look like an ugly bastard. SHIKI, Roa and Nanaya are conventionally beautiful as well but are still designed to look off with the eyes. Shiki has "cute" pretty boy eyes instead, so you them you take seriously but Shiki just looks like a fucking joke. I mean shit you could just have him look like Nanaya with glasses on and normal pupils and that'd probably work just fine.

Nrvnqsr is in the VN and will appear in Red Garden, they won't bother making a Japanese girl stand in given he'll be added in whenever RG drops.
The backlash on the Fate servants was horrendous, I hope we don't get any. If any Fate characters are going to be added they should add Hansa and Kirei for example.
>>
>>50931151
The censorship in Fate and UBW routes don't matter. The H-Scenes add nothing. They're important for HF, but the main problem is the translations on the non remastered versions are really bad. If you ask me, read HF uncensored, read Fate and UBW censored.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>50931267
Net positives, young retard. Would you seriously trade a significantly better localization for Rin masturbating to Shirou and Saber fucking? Do you think that adds ANYTHING to the plot? It hurts HF but that's it. Nowhere else is anything of substance lost. Do you read Visual Novels for their story, or to just jerk off? Also, FSN has been censored since like 2006 with Realta Nua. It isn't anything new.
>>
>>50931314
Please refer again to >>50931267
>>
>>50931295
He sees OG FSN as the 95% finished release and Realta Nua (the censored PS2 release with voice acting and more CGs and some other stuff) as the 100% finished definitive one. Seems like OP is really interested in dickworms though, seeing how adamantly against censorship he is. Either way, ideally you'd have someone porting over the remaster localization with some minor changes and fixes to the Realta Nua Ultimate Edition with an option to toggle h-scenes on and off for the first two routes. I'm afraid Tohsaka's defenseless anus isn't exactly the peak of Nasu's literary achievements.
>>
>>
>>50931318
When what's being censored are cheaply justified sex scenes (mana transfer is a meme for a reason) to make the game sell that add near nothing to the story as a whole (a few hours at best in an 80 hour VN) and what you gain is better localization not shat out by some ESL learning Japanese it doesn't exactly make a good case for you. Do you fucking play VNs to jerk off to h-scenes, which barely make up 2% of the entire runtime?
>>
>>50931346
Again, please read >>50931267 once more.
>>
>>50931338
For all the wrong reasons unfortunately...
It's like Nasu subconsciously activates his evil alter ego who can't write for shit whenever he's writing smut that doesn't involve an SA victim (there are still quite bad examples in those but they are still better than whatever the hell the rest are supposed to be)
>>
>>
>>50931352
Answer the fucking question, what do you read VNs for? Or stories in general? I hate sounding like those morons who say "Do you play games to jerk off? Just watch porn!" but you might as well watch porn because it doesn't add anything to the plot except in HF as I said
>>
>>50931374
Rape victims, whatever. I just didn't feel like typing it out.
>Censorship = Corpo
???
The only reason these games have h scenes is for them to sell. It was a necessity but Nasu was fine with it. 2012 Mahoyo released on only PC, if he was such a sucker for h-scenes he would've released it with some. (It's almost as if it's based on an LN that didn't have any! Wow!)
>>
>>50931381
If you must know, I prefer to read the original, unfiltered versions of media. Because again, fuck censorship. I am an adult, I don't need to be shielded from heavy topics or sex scenes. I don't care what Nasu does or does not consider canon. If I'm going to read Fate/Stay night, then I'm going to read the original 2004 version of the work.
>>
>>50931400
Corporations are the reason why media nowadays is so censored and sanitized. I thought that shit was obvious, but it seems to me that you're a mindless consumer. I suggest you do some research into the topic.

Heaven's Feel is butchered in Realta Nua badly enough I'd never recommend it over the original even with the worse translation. There's a reason Ufo's anime adapted the original version and not the RN version.
>Just read the remaster for two routes then switch to the original and download a save file for HF
You're not gonna convince anyone to do that. what >>50931331 suggests would be the ideal, but until someone makes that, reading the OG is better.

Tsukihime ones are mostly good for me. I like Rin's scene and Saber's second scene in fsn, also the not-Rin one.
H-scenes always feel like the reward that you get for playing the game, even for the games that I skip through them.

Been a few months, but I got Kohakuriko 5's scans uploaded, so technically all the books are online in some form or another. I've had the book for ages, I just had no desire to do any scanning. Considering I don't really trust how the others were translated, I'll probably try to get the raws of those uploaded someday, probably not any time soon. I don't have 7 iirc, and there's a whole bunch of side stuff I could scan as well.

That is regrettable, but besides a few small errors like this (most of them being present in the fantls anyway) and negligible term inconsistencies (e.g. workshop in UBW, atelier in HF) it is overall noticably better than the fan translations.
Also, MirrorMoon's OG Tsuki translation is pretty sub par too. I suppose this is another reason to prefer the remake over the original, though I know how this thread feels about the topic (picrel)
>>
>>50934163
If you want to be a bitch about translation errors, OG Tsukihime's MirrorMoon translation translates Shiki saying "This must be a dream" to "This must be a nightmare", which is far more important to the scene and the character than the type of weapon Shirou is about to be plot armor'd from not getting killed by again, yet you guys would suck it off anyway not knowing any better.
But this is ultimately fruitless. I heard there were people working to mod the Steam release into a flexible Ultimate Edition like the Realta Nua one, but I haven't heard anything since. Does anyone know anything about it?
>>
>>
>>50933656
Maybe tri lumina. Even if we get some Red Garden content in twi, SHIKI is easily the character most locked out by the VN. We have better odds on Satsuki since they might say fuck it since Noel's story teased her previously and they can release some alternate version of her later after Red Garden.

Wtf, only after finishing my second read of Mahoyo do I now read aboutSoujuurou having supposedly been raised by an assassin organization in the mountains. Though I don't get why they would just let him leave like that after questioning the purpose of it all, as it was implied in the novel.
>>
>>50936106The order never tells the kids the purpose of their upbringing while training. This means they don't incur security risk when releasing them. Soujurou developing self awareness makes him a future risk once he puts that together with the purpose of the order once he becomes active. Removing him from the order by placing him in society is, if not humane, actually less dangerous because he can't reveal their secrets due to not knowing them, but also frames his vanishing as no different from the other children that vanished from the mountain when they potentially become real assassins. Far as anyone is concerned the entire situation is business as usual this way.
God I hope I spoilered that correctly. I'm on my phone and I haven't manually input it in ages.

Maybe his "harmlessness" was also a factor (eg. Yuika couldn't see him). He might have been viewed as not being a good candidate psychologically (even if he can be violent when he sees it as necessary).

>>50936264
My impression was that that lack of ill will was a purposeful result of his upbringing. This is a setting where something like 'murderous intent' could be felt even by someone like Shirou, so it'd make sense to train such things out of to-be assassins. Like I imagine that Yuika wouldn't be able to 'see' Souichirou either.

No idea why Soujuurou and Aoko working at church wasn't included in the main story. It also explains his job at the amusement park.
>>
>>
>>50936975
Rin is the bossiest tsundere bitch, Aoko is just harsh by nature but isn't as much of a bitch/tsun as Rin and Akiha is honestly the most evil one, she's more of a sadist and a monster than the other two but she's also the least tsun since she instantly drops it whenever glasses Shiki is in distress. Pretty dumb way to put it but yeah. Akiha's tsun-isms are a result of her being groomed to be the family head, not because she was made to be a mage/magician, so she's going to differ, also because she's a DEMON! Scary, huh.
>>
>>
>>50939164
Aoko also has a somewhat sadistic side, even if one doesn't see it often, eg. when Soujuurou is working in the garden while they watch from the mansion and she ends up ordering him around like a servant, choking him and telling him how they will erase his memories.

I think he conceived the entire story as a trilogy but the first novel seems to have about 300 pages which is normal light novel volume. But maybe he also wrote the other two novels already, I'm not sure if this is really officially known.

>I just don't like to look at my previous works
>It feels like the old Nasu Kinoko has passed on
That's probably part of what makes his current method - realizing ideas he came up with decades ago - so slow and difficult. He says he's not the same person who created Tsukihime/Mahoyo anymore. He even says he doesn't like to look at his old stuff. And yet he has to get in synch with his past self to create these works now. Mahoyo proved he can do it but reading between the lines here this excerpt makes it sounds like it's not a very fun process for him. Just coming up with something new that's an expression of his current self might be a more natural creative process, but then again he says he is much more virtuous now which one could interpret as more boring lol. Maybe in the end he prefers his old ideas.

He's a retard who has been dishing out bottom quality slop for FGO for over a decade. It's not about the old him being gone, it's about the new him not giving a fuck about creative integrity anymore and instead slaving away at gachas. The old him he speaks of is his more edgy attitude or whatever, it's different now with his updated worldview. It's not hard for him to write this shit, we nearly got Mahoyo, CCC and Tsukihime Remake back to back, he literally just doesn't care and thinks he can do it whenever and sees it as a passion project, he loves his ugly golden goose FGO too, he's just very submissive and is afraid of change and does whatever he's told despite being "the boss", Takeuchi had to nudge him to work on BGM, Aniplex pushes him around for FGO all the time, you get the picture. If Twi-Lumina is a more serious Melty game (like OG Melty but better) we'll see if unc still has it, since it'll basically be the first new thing he's made besides FGO in almost a decade.
>>
>>50939246
That's because she comes from a mage background. While Akiha is proficient in the use of magecraft, she is not culturally a mage. Also she's a bitch who hates his actual brother and lets Kohaku ruin both her brothers' lives due to vicarious guilt over what her dad did (who she hated already?)
>>
>>50939953
Everybody knows it started with Extra. I don't even hate Extra or CCC but every bad aspect of modern Nasu started there.
Only reason Mahoyo didn't have those things was because it's a quantum remake of shit he wrote 900 years ago

Putting aside what other anon already brought up about his canon sex life, he's not even really a chaste protagonist to begin with. If Fate was never a porn game and even putting aside Sakura sex happening even in RN, Shirou actually frames things through sex way more than any other TM protagonist does. Like I'm pretty sure at the start of Fate, Sakura's tits are already melting his brain and it's a point that he's trying to resist that. Shirou has a really active libido.

Shirou is an honorary jeet. It's no wonder that so many SEAmonkey and Indian shitskins love him so much. Insufferable piece of shit low IQ manlet pedophile who still manages to get laid by equally retarded but far more attractive women relative to his level. It's a generic do-gooder VN protagonist character that gets glazed to high heaven by pseudos because muh hype moments and aura but they'll never admit that to be the reason why.

File: Satsuki Melty 002.png (182.6 KB)
An aspect of Satsuki that I really like is how it's made clear that she wasn't all there before getting bit but because of how little Shiki knew her, the extent of which is kept deliberately vague. I'm curious how red garden will handle that since while of course it was how she was originally intended to be expanded upon, I do really like how that vagueness impacts vampire Satsuki because save for killing people it isn't made clear how much it actually changed her psychology.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>50946738
I feel like there's a lot of Satsuki's character that's influenced by late 90's Japanese societal ennui and edginess. She has a reputation of being the good natured class idol but she's not fulfilled by it and is playing a role to an extent, which is why she's attracted to Shiki and goes looking for him at night.
Coincidentally, earlier in the thread people were quoting Nasu talking about how his outlook has changed and I wonder how he'll write her route now that he's clearly less disillusioned.
Although come to think of it there was that scene in the remake where Arihiko can clearly sense something off about her and warns Shiki to keep some distance or else both him and Satsuki will end up unhappy, which sounds about right.
