An expanded game of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is a Japanese visual novel game and the sequel to Fate/Stay Night. The word ataraxia in the title is a Greek term for tranquility, giving the title the combined meaning of "empty (or false) tranquility". The plot of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is based half a year after the events of Fate/Stay Night. Like its preceding counterpart, the story is set in Fuyuki City. Bazett Fraga McRemitz, a member of the Mages' Association and a master in the Fifth Holy Grail War, wakes on the fourth day of the Fifth Holy Grail War with a new servant, Avenger, and no memory of what happened to her beforehand. She and the Avenger set off to fight and win the Holy Grail War.

fanservice done right. Perfect mechanics, perfect slice of life, perfect hscenes, idk what else to ask for. Just remove the detective side story pls
you look like a rockstar
hey not bad
good slice of life sequel
A simple, nondescript white flower.
Countless times, he attempted to finish it and failed.
A piece missing in the center, a puzzle that can never be perfectly complete.
And... by filling the void that was himself, he has finally finished it.
I was going to give 4 rating to hollow ataraxia but the ending was fucking brilliant and it was worth it. worth the effort of going through the gameplay that I didnt like one bit, so much so that when after major event happened and main story continued I was filled with joy. please use the guide if you plan to read it.
new characters were pretty good and it was fresh air. I appreciate the change in main characters even though still having the same cast. bazett always hesitating to trust or dont trust avenger because of the bullshit hes giving to her and avenger giving meaningful speeches and helping her, then always hiding something from her and making her paranoid were different from what we've seen in other staynight routes. also she might be the coolest fate character ever (woman in suits save me please). caren is also good but has very low screentime with only being the main topic of the game in last 2-3 hours. also holy fuck we got child gilgamesh with a more likeable and decent personality, like how??
slice of life scenes looked to be good at the start but after some point it started to bore me and I had to skip some of those because you know which ones are just filler and which ones are important for the story with indicators in gameplay part, so I decided my time is dear and pressed ctrl on filler stories I didnt like where its going (still took 30 hours to finish the game). bored me more when the scenes were about characters I didnt humour and didnt enjoy reading like sakura or the students (not mitsuzuri she is a fun character) but there were some very funny and gold ones too (mainly servants events) so SoL aspect was hit or miss for me sometimes. learning more about the servants past and myths/ legends were nice addition hollow ataraxia made, polishing the cast even more and adding more to the overall fate.
last words: main story is superb while most slice of life parts were not, but deserves a 5 star just with the main story alone. nice try about the 4 day loop gameplay but I didnt like it, not the concept just the gameplay. its a good sequel-spinoff to a already good vn. read it if you like fate

I want to say a lot of things about this game. So much so that if I start writing it would take hours, So much so that it would take days, So much so that it would take months...
But I am gonna stop here for now. Only thing I can say as of now is all of the pacing issues, all of the garbage comedy moments, all of the unnecessary time wasting was worth it just for the ending. To the point it made my score jump from 3 stars to 5 stars singlehandedly. It's that good or just felt "right" to me and impacted down to my core. This man knows no bounds, his pen is his blade and his mind is his weapon and as I pray, I desire to see unlimited masterpieces from him.
