I preordered the shit out of this! You guys should too!
It is truly unbelievable considering Nasu's doubts in the past and the overall situation of VNs and Type-Moon but i can say the reemergence is finally happening for real for all of us.
Of course the quality of localizations is severely lacking, especially when crucial context missing (like for many hints in Japanese text of FGO General Main Story details for example, or characterization for other works), but the fact that we waited for so long makes it good enough you can say, since we still have passionate fan-translations like Tsukihimates team.
It truly is! After years of things being uncertain it's so great to see TM put their heart and soul into these projects.
There is an endless amount of possibilities now with everything that has been mentioned and alluded to recently! (Girls work being apart of the TM Ace Timeline) Delivering on old promises, making new one's or making old projects availble to a wider audience, who knows what's ahead of us now?
The quality of localization is the one thing I'm sceptical of. I heard Mahoyo's wasn't the best in terms of translation, I felt it read pretty well, but it is a shame to know there was context being left out. Having a dedicated group of fans though is amazing!
Neneisan making my day by dropping a new video❤❤❤😊😊😊
Your comment made my day! Glad a little video like this could do so!
As someone who hasn't read the remake yet (mostly cause I'm an amateur when it comes to modding) I am so looking forward to read the official translation coming next year. I'm very curious and exited to see how Ciel's route in the remake is improved upon.
Ciel's route is crazy! Really excited for the offical release so everybody gets the chance to read it!
Im glad there's now a review that compares the OG and new as someone who only read the OG. Looking forward to Ciel, who basically had a 'discount Arc route' in the original
Glad I could provide that!
I remember being pretty underwhelmed by Ciel's in the OG, but here, her route can get pretty insane and probably has some of my personal favorite moments in Tsukihime as a whole.
A great review. Thanks for that. It's good there are plenty of fans that are satisfied with the result. I have my personal issues with the remake that make me conflicted (as an arc fan who was waiting for an actual revamp of the whole story for 17 years not just ciels route in addition to the things removed...), but it's clear to see the remake offers something to the modern tm fan that is wholly different from the original with atleast one route. I hope red garden comes out sooner rather than later
At least we will get more Arc content in-game and not just in adaptation in the future Epilogue it seems.
Thanks, I'm glad enjoyed it! Yeah, I do see where some problems can come up, especially for fans who waited for such a long time. Personally I think Arc's is a really good introduction to the world in general and there is enough new to freshen it up, but I do see where you're coming from.Both stand strong in their own right, and it's kind of neat that the remake won't completely make the original obsolete.
Same here, I can't wait to see what's in store!
@@NeNeiSan I am wondering for red garden about sacchins route. It's the one major thing we will be in the dark about. With the other routes there is atleast something to expect
@@ShizukiShirano I dunno. All of nasus statements people point to about this seem very vague and copium ish. I am just not willing to expect something and be disappointed after waiting however long again
@@MrInuhanyou123 There have been a few, although vague hints in the remake and MBTL towards her route. It could go anywhere in terms of story, who appears, and how it adds on to prominent ideas. There is some speculation to be had, I just hope there is some information on Red Garden sometime soon!
I have never played the original or this remake, but as someone who loves Fate and has always been intersted in the other Type Moon works- this video was really interesting and got me wanting to play/read Tsukihime! Now if I do, do I start with the original or the remake, hmmm....
If you're going to eventually try out both, I would say start with the original for a few reasons:
The remake's routes are double to triple the length of their OG counterpart so you'll be getting more content as you move on.
Doing so, you will also notice how some parts of the story is rewritten leading to added interest.
Only 2/5 of the original routes have been remade, which are (hopefully) coming in the next couple of years. So playing through the original first will give you a more 'complete' experience.
They are products of their time and I think you'll appreciate seeing how far the writing and production style has changed and evolved over the years.
It's nice since the remake doesn't made the original obselete, there is enough changes in story and style that carries the 'essence' of Tsukihime but still feels fresh between the two. Both are really worth checking out once you get the chance!
@@NeNeiSan I'll definitely keep all this in mind when I'm finally ready to dig into Tsukihime- thanks for the informative response!
Of course, I'm glad I could help!
now I'm torn between finishing my visual novels and finishing my light novels
I know that feeling (but also for games)
@@ShizukiShirano release the new strain of the virus, lock us down for a month or two 😳
I empathize. There is so many series I want to start or pick back up but not enough time to get to all of them. There has been so many anime that look interesting or got sequel seasons and I've just been distracted with VNs.
Something I’ve thought about, Tsukihime will definitely get an A rating, the scene that comes to mind is when Shiki first meets arcueid, that scene alone, I’ll be dumbfounded if it’s not an A.
The detail in that scene was brutal, but the M or 18 rating can stretch pretty far. There a lot of games that have far worse while still staying clear of the A rating. It also helps that a lot of the original's more "depraved" themes are cut or toned down. Funnily enough, on the topic of ratings, Witch on the Holy Night has an ESRB rating of M even though the story itself is very tame.
@@NeNeiSan yeah I guess your right, the last of us part 2 has a less scene in it, and it’s M rated 🫤, gosh darn it may get an M rating, but still hoping for A case of the talk of unaliving arcueid in great detail, not sure of the rest though those are the only scenes I’m aware of. yea I agree with you on witch on on the holy night, it’s not that bad, (spoilers for witch on the holy night)
I guess the cat in the engine and soujuro getting cut in half pushed it maybe?
@@NeNeiSan meant to say Sex scene, but autocorrect happened
We'll find out sooner or later. I don't think any other CGs come close to that level of disturbing detail, but some other aspects may be looked at.
Yeah, that Sojyuro scene is probably what led to it. That completely slipped my mind.
You know what would be nice, but probably highly unlikely. Of in the English localization, they also added the original novel in their too.
That would be cool! Something like a "Type-Moon Classics" collection with OG Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, and Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia all officially translated. It's a pipe dream, but then again, so was the remake.
@@NeNeiSan that would be a little too nice, but never impossible.
Still makes me sad that i just (physically) cant support the official releases (cus of restrictions), i want to but most (if not all, besides the PC platform) ways are kinda blocked for me at the moment. Support it if you can guys, it may be copium now but it maybe will come handy in the future.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes things are out of our control, though spreading the word is just as important to helping out!
PC release got announced just this month. Id assume the upcoming official English TL will be on it.
@@AngeVNs Yep, hopefully it will be a trend and back to form for Type-Moon, at least after console release (hopefully they will not block it in my country again like F/SR).
Ya think Fate is next?
It's hard to say, I wouldn't be surprised if Stay Night is revisted in some way, but it probably won't be in VN form. If Nasu is to revisit it, it would most likely be for a Fate Route anime remake. I personally feel Fate/Stay Night has aged quite well. Some of the sprites and CGs may have some odd proportions, but overall the style is still very clean and up to date. Though just imagining how some of the fights would look with Mahoyo/TsukiRE visuals would be amazing!
@@NeNeiSan Well maybe there could be a remake of Fate somewhere down the line and it could get a western release. I mean just a few years ago there weren't any type-moon vns officially localised and now we have one with another on the way so in terms of that, anything is possible.
Considering Fate is their most popular franchise it wouldn't be all too surprising. In fact, it's more surprising they haven't done so yet. TM has been pulling a lot of unexpected moves, so it's very possible!
You absolutely missed out on what Mario is all about. There’s enough in the remake to understand what’s actually going on with him, you’ve just missed.
Yeah, I went through some parts again, plus with Type Lumina's scenarios it's a lot more clear now! I am still wishing for a narrative conclusion for him though. Hoping he has a role in Satsuki's route where everything comes together and pays off.
Is it just me that have no f***ng clue how the CG gallery is sorted? Tbh it feels like it was just shuffled at random by some crack addict.
It's not just you, it kind of makes sense at the top, but then just devolves in organization by the end.
I c, nobody was mentioning it online so I felt like I was just crazy or sumthin
