If only he wasn't born in the wrong era

If it wasn't for the entire ng+ only scenes (why the fuck weren't they in the first playthrough) and some endings leaving me wanting more from them I'd adore it was more.

I enjoyed the story, I just like the setting, the characters motivations, it being a proper holy grail war and how it generally plays out.

Iori's already a good character and then when you do all of the ng+ stuff, learn more about him and get confirmations about the things alluded to in the first playthrough he becomes so much better to the point of being amazing (one of my favorite mcs) and his general relationship with saber and how it progresses is great, they compliment each other very well and in the ng+ It just elevates to a whole new level of amazing.

Saber himself develops well and is a great character all while bouncing off of Iori very well during every stage of his development, while not getting as many things in ng+ as Iori the stuff he does get helps.

The main cast characters are cool, good, consistent if a bit underdeveloped, some of them never got a proper conclusion, specifically Masters but I do wish we saw more of the servants too, ng+ does help some of them quite a bit however. Yui is the only one who doesn't get much of anything in ng+ outside of a scene in the ng+ route (probably my favourite scene in the game) but she's still great and I love her immensely.

Gameplay's fun I played on the hardest and didn't really have the "tanky and long" issue with it, ost is decent to good to great (iori's theme) and it fits the setting very well.

All in all i enjoyed my time with and Yui and Iori should have hot sloppy sex
