Or what if you don’t want your Fate to take itself seriously? Well there’s Carnival Phantasm which has Fate/Stay Night, Tsukihime, and technically Melty Blood characters. Fate/Apocrypha (team deathmatch), Fate/kaleid liner Prysma Illya (magical girls), Fate/Grand Order (mobile gacha game for your gambling addicted brain) the Fate Extraverse ( Fate/Extra is an officially translated game for the PSP you can play it on a “PSP” that’s a bit bigger and sits on top of your lap or on your desktop though Fate/Extra CCC is another PSP game, it’s not actually a sequel however it does play off Fate/Extra, and this one was never officially translated and it’s such a big game that it’s not even fully fan translated both Fate/Extella The Umbral Star and Fate/Extella Link are playable on PS4 and Switch however they both assume you already know Fate/Extra so I can’t recommend these as good starting points, you should also play Umbral Star first since Link is seen as a sequel, Fate/Extra Last Encore is anime only and it kinda plays off of base Fate/Extra also). Have you decided you want nothing to do with that timeline? Well guess what there are several other Fates that have nothing to do with any of that.

Hey look there’s another Fate you can start with. I actually won’t recommend starting with Heavens Feel because it doesn’t really explain the world it’s taking place in, it kinda just assumes you already know that stuff from seeing either Unlimited Blade Works or Stay Night’s prequel Fate/Zero. You decided you don’t have the time for 100 hours of reading? (understandable) Well guess what all 3 ways Stay Night can play out have been animated (Fate route is just Fate/Stay Night by Studio Deen aka Deen/Stay Night, Unlimited Blade Works route is Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works by ufotable, and Heavens Feel route is Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel also done by ufotable). Do you wanna start with the original 100 hour visual novel? Go for it. What I will tell you is to start with whichever one you want.

I’m not gonna tell you which Fate to start with. Except for the fact that 95% of my followers seemingly don’t care about Fate at all and I never give any of my Fate posts Fate tags to purposefully keep this blog away from that so hopefully we’re safe.

Jokes asides since I’m not gonna say you have to start with the original Fate/Stay Night visual novel the visual novel elitists could find this post and all hell could break loose in the notes. So I didn’t realize how long this post had become until I finished it, so there’s a TLDR at the end.Īh, the forbidden question.
