I think Nasu not writing the H-scenes is just a rumor and has never actually been proven.

Regardless, TYPE-MOON have been trying to distance themselves from the eroge scene (IIRC, the last thing they produced that had H-content was Fate/Hollow Ataraxia back in 2005) especially since Realta Nua removed almost all references to sex in the story (though part of that may have also been Nasu trying to get people to actually like Shinji).

I don't know why he would feel the need for it, since Shinji is an Excellus type of character, someone vile and almost irredeemable in my book (although Nasu tries to redeem him in UBW).

The "moving away from eroge" thing is probably to be more mainstream, as erotic literature is quite niche.

How significant were the H-scenes? I kind of got the impression they were mostly incidental, and it was fairly easy for the PS2 version to cut them. I just hope the VN isn't porn!

In HF they're crucial to Sakura's characterization. In the other routes the whole "sperm has magic properties" thing is just an excuse for the sex.

Oh, so I'm guessing sex is how the mages "pass mana" to the servants. That's hilarious.

Info may be inaccurate since it's been almost 6 years since I finished FSN but here it goes.

In Saber's case Shirou is a shitty magus so Saber often runs out of prana* and this creates situations where Shirou fucks Saber to give her prana through cum.

In Rin's case it was to make a magic contract so Rin and Saber would stream prana to Shirou so he could deploy his Reality Marble.

In Sakura's case it was also to give her prana because the Matou crest (the "Sanshi" worms as Kotomine puts it) drains her life.

HF is annoying because disposing of Sakura is the best course of action to stop Zouken's plans but the game stops you from doing that on various occasions. Lots of Bad Ends in HF are due to the player trying to kill Sakura and something (often Rider) intervening. It's frustrating because Sakura isn't the most interesting character and her self-victimization gets really old really soon.

*The Mirror-Moon translation refers to prana as "magical energy". Prana in FSN is basically what the Hindi prana is. It consists of mana (energy emanated from beings) and od (energy in the environment). Or maybe it's the other way around, I don't know.

Sorry, my first time doing anything needing spoiler tags here. Will do next time.

I mean, let's be real

the stuff in your post isn't even a tenth as spoiler-y as the posts by Malebolganone a.k.a. Cerberus87

(admittedly you made your post before he made his; maybe he's just trying to 1-up you)

HF only had 3 H-scenes IIRC. The first two with the excuse of Shirou using his mana to sustain Sakura while the third is one of the big developments in their relationship and Sakura realizing her worth, them doing it because they want to and are in love.

[spoiler=HF spoilarz]

After Sakura finally realizes that Shirou loves her in return, she gets cornered by Shinji, who tries to force her to come back. But now Sakura is determined that she is Shirou's, so she freaks out and roflstomps Shinji into a paste and falls under Angra Mainyu's corruption to engage in the world's most overblown temper tantrum.

If you change your name, you can sometimes expect ppl who join after you change your name to call you by your new name. I'm pretty sure there are a few people who used to call me Mouse. Blackops used to call me BlueMartianKitty (or maybe just BMK). I think that xmas (agile tit lord) would call me Hank or Hawkeye...or someone would, anyway.

Nasu is a horrible writer, I seriously would not recommend reading Fate/Stay Night. There are a lot of better VNs out there.

Unless you want to see cool action sequences in a VN, in which case F/SN actually presents them quite decently. But if that's the case, I can't understand why you'd want action scenes in a written novel form over an animated form *cough*ufotableUBW*cough*

still not worth reading the VN just to see the fight scenes

I think I'll just change it back to Malebolganone then. The problem is that I made it before I found out Valflame is more powerful. :P

clearly you should go with Valbolganone, then :^)

While nasu's writing style is admittedly pretty bad the stories he tells are still great.

It is refreshing to go from a nasu work to a ryukishi 7 work though. His writing style is quite nice.
