Man, didn't see that coming.

To be fair, FSN did not suffer from a shortage of words.

Although it had 3 routes, while KS has 5.

Three very, very long routes, though... Personally I got sick of it for a LONG time just after doing one.

I can't say I agree with this cat ears/air ducts thing. It's striking, and at the same time, overdone in anime. Its strikingness only magnifies how overdone it is.

I love the hair intakes! Antenna are overdone, but the hair intakes haven't been ruined for me yet.

It was Kotomine without Him FSN word count will be at least halved.
I do really hope no one in KS will ever ... EVER talk so much.

Nasu's writing style in general is rather wordy.

Yeah, Type Moon could use a good editor. They don't use one word when they can use twelve, and then add dashes and ellipses, and then repeat it all four times over.

Or forty-four times over, as the case may be. Don't get me wrong, I love F/SN and Tsukihime, but the writing desperately needed some cuts.

Also, wooo! Shizune's done! Yes!

Completely agree. I love reading and wordiness usually doesn't even scare me (Lord of the Rings, El Quijote, ...) but in a F/SN a breakfast could take half an hour reading... I still recommend it but wow if they could have used editing.

Please not too much reading. This is coming from a guy that read the Inheritance novel in two days. On a bus.

Oh that's it... I'mma object like Phoenix here... the storyline in FSN was solid in story and Kotomine was a good antagonist!

As for fighting the release rush, let's just say that I'd rather see a polished Valentine's release than a rushed Christmas release.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that whatever kind of release we're going to see, it's not going to be rushed
