Which route do you want the most? Which would work best? There's so much potential
SpoilerDiscussionA short Ayako route fic i remember reading a while back
I liked the one that appeared to come from a mind of steel ending.
Could you give me a link to the fanfic that appeared to come from a mind of steel ending
Was gonna say this. HA is basically the Rider route, and she receives a ridiculous amount of content with Shirou there. I'd be happy with a Rider route but some of the other girls here need it more (Ayako cough cough).
A bit of a tangent, but is she and Issei a thing? Since the ending of the UBW anime kinda low key implied something being possible between them.
I forgot about UBW, but the character that I ever read Ayako interested in are Lancer and Kokuto Mikiya. ... right, I don't really know how correct my information was.
Caster Route, of course, but I'm biased.
Frankly I feel if there were to be a golden route, Caster would be one of the most likely to cause it. So agreed, and I’m also biased, but differently.
Pay attention to who is posting this, people. This is the Caster route guy.
Oh god, I read your fic.
Yes, yes, we need a caster route!
He made a caster route fic? What is its name?
path of the king, by Neoalfa.
Kinda out of nowhere but Sella
Prisma Ilya is based
You haven't played Ataraxia, right?
I have. HA made me appreciate Sella and Liz, but PrIlya turned them to queens in my heart
What does HA stand for? I've mainly watched the anime so I only know the stay night, UBW and HF routes
HA = Hollow Ataraxia. It's a Visual Novel. Semi sequel of all three roots combined
Thank you kind informative stranger!
Ayako and rider route would be interesting to see
Caren 'route' is literally a thing already. I'd only want Bazett romance with Cu personally.
Rider's the one I'd like most, followed by Caster. I'd like Illya for the character focus, but I don't want Illya x Shirou. Unless part of the route is "fixing" her body and she gets to age properly, maybe.
I don't have much interest in Mitsuzuri honestly, and Taiga route is cursed as fuck.
Taiga route is cursed as fuck.
OK, hear me out. Taiga's meant to be pretty strong so get Shirou to back her up and she plows through the war. This would be the best childhood friend route of all time. I'm not sure the world is ready for such peak writing though
Hell no. She's a big sister figure for him, zero romantic attraction at all. It feels nasty even thinking of them like that.
Given the Rin route, something being a “route” doesn’t mean we get any kissy kissy.
Rin has kisses and sex scenes in the original version of the VN and Hollow Ataraxia. And even if those aren't explicitly in, being a route girl still means a romance focus. Even Tsukihime Remake still has kisses (and off-screen sex for Arc).
Taiga route is an HARD NO for me, except if it's a "siblings over romantic" kind of thing.
Illya kinda gets half a route in HF(come on, HF is literally the Illya route in disguise), but she deserves a complete route(always with the caveat of "siblings relationship")
Then Medea. Full stop. She deserves it
Ilya had her time in HF. But her end there is very tragic
HF isn’t Illya’s route, it’s nothing without Sakura, go back to okbuddyrintard
Shiki Tohno route
With Ciel treesome.
Ah yes, treesome. My favorite tag. Funny thing to find it in Reddit of all places.
Na the last one isn't Harem it's Shirou but he saved everyone.
Also (in this order): Illya, Illya, Illya, Illya, Illya, Illya, Gil, Rider, Bazzet, Thanos.
Shirou and Thanos would be so cursed
I just imagine it like that scene in OUS where Shirou gets all the cards and Angela goes there and fights him. But with Thanos
Wait. Why Illya? isn't she shirou's adoptive sister?
Sweet home Fuyuki~
Medea and Medusa deserves a route as much as they deserve a swimsuit in FGO
Which is... A lot
Illya and mitsuzuri. Taiga for fun.
Tachie route
Medusa, because I want to know how would Nasu write a romance between a master and a servant who has a different master. It would have to be closely related to HF since Sakura is Medusa's master and Medusa did care for Sakura, but to make it Medusa's route it also would have to make Medusa the focus.
Salter no question
Bazzet route but it’s just an entire route of being bros with Cu Chullain and helping him become Cu Chullayed. Idk maybe combine it with Ayako route so Cu can help Shirou as well.
Illya, 100%
Caren/Bazett route already exists, it's called Hollow Ataraxia.
Wouldn't Mitsuzri Ayako route just be them hanging out at arcades, eating junk food with Himuro trying to spy on them?
Illya and Taiga easy.
ayako, taiga, illya, shinji and bazett
Illya it was intended for the game, also I guess Caren too.
Kirei: Haha Shirou, you are banging my daughter
Thanos harem route, dude snaps and all waifu servants are summoned.
Definitely Rider and Caster
For Shirou? Ayaka route. The only one that's not weird to some capacity, and I think one of the main things that needs further fleshing out in FSN in the mundane, human aspects of fuyuki. Because of the focus on the grail war none of the locations feel fully "lived in" to me personally.
If they were to actually add another route? Rin protagonist route, because I do think its technically possible for her to (to some capacity) "win" the grail war and I think that's an interesting timeline to explore, and can also give further depth to the characters of Rin, Sakura, Archer, and Shirou by tilting the perspective of the story. This, of course, doesn't work because inherently it is not a "love interest" route, and only would work as like a gaiden story of some kind.
Didn’t rin win the grail war in ubw
Technically yes, however that was using saber, and shirou was still the "protagonist" of UBW, I think it's technically possible for Rin to win regardless of that.
Illya Illya Illya Illya ILLYAAAAAAAA
I want a female Shinji route, blame that artist guy who drew that route
Caren! She's super cute.
Shinji route. Or Lancer, better.
A kirei route
Bazett just because it could be funny
issei route
Ayako. Everyone forget as about her.
Medea my beloved
I feel like a Rider route would only be possible if it's a three-way relationship with Sakura, or Sakura dies early on and Rider goes to Shirou because it's what Sakura wanted (the more likely scenario for a full route).
While Rider's willing to have some sneaky sex with Shirou, she wouldn't outright have a relationship with him if it means stealing him from Sakura, as her HA Eclipse scene shows.
for me the one i want to see the most who could be really interessing are illya bazett rider and alter ayako could be cool too (taiga and caster would be more fun than anything but could give some depth for taiga)
My mind want to see an UBW like route but with Bazett being the love interest. It's not that I am a big fan of Bazett but it might be interesting to see a UBW route Shirou interact with Bazett and work together as hunters after the War.
But my heart wants a Rider route. It could diverge from HF route with Sakura keeping her Command Seals so Rider has to severe her contract with Sakura and she forms one with Shirou because unlike Rin he wants to save Sakura and not just stop her(use the Archer arm to explain why Shirou has enough mana to fight himself and fully suply Rider). They could grow closer through the story and trully confess before the battle against Salter. The Good End could be similar to HFs good end while the True End could be Rider fading away after she takes Rin and Sakura to safety after Shirou dies.
I know it would be weird since a large part of Shirou's desire to save Sakura comes from his feelings for her but I never really liked that so I don’t exactly have a problem with ignoring it.
I'd really love to see a Taiga route. Caster Medea and and Ayako route would be great too. Maybe a Bazette route,but since she is an executor for the Mage's Association, that would be tricky. As for which one would work best, I'm not sure.
Salter. All the way.
I just want a Luvia route huffs copium.
I'd like a few tbh. Mainly Illya, Ayako, and Taiga.
Illya definitely deserves a happy ending after everything she's been through. And for Ayako and Taiga, I like the idea of the heroine having to see Shirou be injured without knowing what's happening. Plus, Shirou already has a strong bond with Ayako and Taiga. So seeing him develop with both would be interesting.
Shinji route. I can fix him.
I love saber alter but I also like caren, I feel like both don't get a lot of love so I guess I'm going with the harem route
Gimme Medusa any day
Shinji route
I'm not even joking. I want the shinji route
Caren would be the most interesting.
We already got some ilya content in hf and rider in hollow ataraxia. Caren is probably the most unique other character and could have a great dynamic with Shirou
Salter Route
Illya, obviously.
Would be a perfect final route in which Shirou learns of the Grail's Corruption, is able to undo it by facing said corruption (as an epic final showdown) and use the cleansed Grail to wish for Illya's sake.
I mean... it's kind of basically what happens with Miyuverse's Shirou, who wins an uncorrupted Grail wish and uses it to save his sister.
Rider......
Tachie. I love Illya and all, but learning how Tachie's existence would torture Shirou psychologically is just too good to pass up.
Gilgamesh route but it's just 40 hours of Gilgamesh getting fucked in the ass
You son of a bitch. You have me sold.
Shinji route. I want a route where Shirou acknowledges the hardships and troubles of Shinji and his efforts. He’ll proceed to help him realize that there are things more worthy in life and that he doesn’t need to be a mage to be special. Then as Shinji atones for his sins, which definitely includes making up with Sakura, everyone returns to their normal lives. Until Shinji gets scouted out by the Atlas Institution for his skill in alchemy and uses his new knowledge for good.
Who is the first girl ?
Looks like Caren, Kireis daughter.
Shinji
Bazett or rider
I'd like to see a route which includes some of Taigas family and mayba a bit of Mitsuzuri shenanigans, but the one I'm really after is Medea...
Caster
Female Archer
Saber alter or Harem got to put skill to do some labor ya'know

The meme would be actually good if the spacing was right.
Bazett and Ayako, could be done well. Illya obviously.
Harem? No.
But the alternative ultimate Bro-mance route of Bazett, Taiga and Shirou uniting in a Association+Yakuza sweep would be ultrakino. No sex only ultimate amoral friendship.
For me, it's tied between Rider and Caster. But I wouldn't mind also having routes for Illya, Taiga, Ayako, Caren, and Bazett as well. Luvia is also another idea as well, but it would take hard planning to work her in.
There was plan for a rider route but it got scarpped
Ilya hands down
Medea and bazzet rout I have them tied because from what remember we get very limited time with her and along with how much she could teach Shirou about magecraft and as for bazzet we only get characterization form her in ataraxia which is fine but a dedicated rout would be interesting
this belongs on r/okbuddyrintard lol
Well let me started
1• Caren is Kotomine daughter so while Shirou isn't going to hate her I can see then forming a romance because they are so diferent between.
2• Rider already had a route with Sakura in both HF and Hollow Ataraxia.
3• Illya is complicated because I biased and don't lolicon althought I can see the route if their relatioship is just family bonding also the romance should be with one her maids,either Sella or Leyrrist(this one for is preferable)
4• Theres Fgo if you want to see Salter happy.
5• Medea already had Soujirou so no
6•Taiga is also a complete no go,because her relationship with Shirou is just brotherhood,besides she need to find someone of her age.
7• Basset already had Hollow Ataraxia if you want to see her character development so no romance is need.
8• Mitsuduri can work like a new addiction in a hipotetical remake of FSN,just like Shirou she can ve drag in the Grail War agains her will and Shirou will had to fight at her side.
9• I prefer Himuro Kane XD
10• Theres a Doujin about that is called Shirou-kun Harem
Also the route I want to see are Tachie(Stray Servant),Misaya Reiroukan(Anti heroine route) and Gilgamesh(Female) Route in a hipotetical FSN remake.
Not putting Kirei on the list. FOR SHAME!
Thanos is the only correct answer here
Tachie route
The one that would work the best and has potential is Illya, considering she had one planned already but had it scrapped. That said out these choices the one I'd want most is Ayako. Just seems the most interesting choice to have a character that's fairly mundane and disconnected in comparison to the rest of the characters as the main love interest/focus.
Caster, Illya, Bazzet, Rider and Shinji
la de bazzet
I need a route where lancer and shirou win together. Lancer deserves it. He is epic
None of the above
Shinji route
I don't ask me why
Illya because I wanna know what her endings would've been like.
Can't be Ilya because she is a child
as much as I love Medusa, I don't think she needs a route, considering hollow ataraxia gave us more than enough best girl material.
Illiya was already planned for the original, and considering she's the only main girl to never be saved, I'd say she deserves it.
And for my second pick, I'd give it to Ayako. The simple reason being, wouldn't it be interesting to see a route where the main girl is unrelated to the war? Imagine her horror as Shirou gets more and more hurt with mysterious circumstances, not to mention her and Shirou already have a nice relationship at the start of the story, so I think s route with her in the lead would be really nice.
