I’ve seen the Fate/stay night anime, so I’m going into the visual novel with it in mind. In this case, that seems to be a good thing, or at least an okay thing; I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how robust the game is so far, and I’m probably not even half an hour into it. There’s much more attention paid to Rin Tousaka in the beginning, for example — she’s the point of view character for a little while, at least — and you’re not about to see me complain about the tsundere getting screen time.
I’m not going to exhaustively document the entire game like this, but I do have some quick observations on the first few minutes, some of which are based on what I know from the anime adaptation.
