Then there is Saber, the Servant Spirit who gets bonded to him. Her true name is unknown, but she has the mannerisms of a knight and the appearance of a young woman. Add to this an [[Tsundere|aloof girl]] named Tohsaka Rin, a rival Master and schoolmate who finds him [[Not Worth Killing|too pathetic to kill off immediately]]. Rin is a professional mage who knows the Grail War rules, but her conscience results in her helping out, despite her protests to the contrary. There is also her mysterious Servant, Archer, [[Easy Amnesia|who claims to suffer amnesia in the beginning due to his botched summoning]]. In addition, Shirou has to protect his "family" -- his self-appointed "older sister" teacher Taiga Fujimura, and his [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]] Matou Sakura, who has an obvious (''[[Oblivious to Love|to everyone else]]'') crush on him. |

Although [[No Export for You|never released in English]], the game has a [[Fan Translation]] patch made for it by the good folks at [http://mirrormoon.org Mirror Moon]. The [[Visual Novel]] has been adapted for [[PlayStation 2]] and, while replacing the H-scenes that were in the original game with alternate, non-erotic versions, add some content like new CGs and new musiques. The [[PlayStation 2]] version is subtitled ''Realta Nua'' and you can implement the extra content from this version on your PC version [http://rnpatch.blogspot.com/ with this patch]. |
