In 2004, Type-Moon successfully transformed into a commercial company, and their first commercial work came out at this time. This shocking game is fate/staying overnight. "Listen to your call, and my sword will live and die with you from now on, and my fate will be closely related to you. At this point, the contract was reached. " June 5438+October 2004 10, Fate/stay night was born, and immediately ranked first in the sales list of Galgame in the first half of that year. Until 2005, it was still ranked third in Amazon, and the sequel Fate/hollow ataraxia from June, 5438 to October, 2005 was ranked first in Amazon's annual sales in Japan in just over a month.
Mysterious man is Sue:
Naisu is a mysterious figure with little information about himself. His date of birth is unknown, and the circulated birthday is1973165438+1October 28th. He is a man, and once he just called himself a "bear", which caused a lot of gender speculation. He has been writing novels and plays in a unique and obscure style, and every work has a huge world outlook behind it (if given the opportunity, students must read Naisu's masterpiece "The Realm of the Empty"), so many groups have appeared to study TM works. He is in charge of script writing in Type-Moon, and his junior high school friend and former painter Wu Neichong are the core figures of Type-Moon.
A distinction must be made between "magic" and "magic":
In the world of magicians and enchanters created by Naisu, "magic" and "magic" are two terms that must be distinguished. The "magic" in the world of Naisu refers to our usual magic, and "magic" is synonymous with miracles. What can't be achieved by magic power is called "magic", so Tohsaka Rin and others should be called "magicians", not "magicians".

Story introduction
The Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that can fulfill all the wishes of its holder.
The holy grail war is a killing ceremony to make the holy grail appear and seize it.
The seven magicians selected by the Holy Grail are called masters. The seven souls selected by the Holy Grail are divided into seven levels, which can summon the identity of the devil, that is, the so-called servant. Moreover, each master made a contract with one of the servants to compete with other masters and servants for the Holy Grail, that is, to get rid of other wizards and survive until the end to prove that he is the strongest. This is the Holy Grail War in Dongmucheng.
Emiya Shirou, the hero, lost his family in a fire in Dongmu ten years ago, but when he woke up, his memories of the past were almost completely lost, and the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu, the man who saved him from the fire, was forever imprinted in his mind. He vowed to be a "just partner" when he grew up and save all the suffering people. Therefore, after Emiya Kiritsugu adopted him and told him that he was a magician, he insisted on learning magic to realize his dream. But because he had no talent, he still learned only one kind of magic a few years later. Now, a few years after Emiya Kiritsugu's death, he is still only a half-tone magician.
One day, Shiro was accidentally involved in the servant war, and then when he escaped, he somehow summoned ——Saber, the last uncalled servant in the Holy Grail War, and made a contract with her. Later, he discovered that Tohsaka Rin, the first beauty of his dream college, was actually a magician with the best ability. She told him coldly: unless he hides himself, as long as he participates in the holy grail war, he can only choose between killing and being killed.
Shi Lang, a magician who doesn't want to kill anyone but wants to save others, how did he survive the killing ceremony? Can he stop killing as he thinks? How to realize his ideal of fighting for justice?
character introduction
Emiya Shirou:
The hero, a magician with half a tune. He is a good person, because he is good at repairing things, and he is often dragged to help by other students. Its servant is Saber, who is known as the "best servant". (For others, please see the story. )
Saber:
Shi Lang's servant, although she looks like a petite girl with a height of only 154 cm, claims to be the best. His character belongs to the type of formality, integrity and irreconcilable.
Tohsaka Rin:
It is said that exorcist, the ancestor of Yuanban, is a magic messenger, and Yuanban's family is the manager of this land in Dongmucheng. Sui Qunyuan is the first beauty in the Academy, and she studies very well. Very popular with male students, and popular with female students. But only a few of her close friends know that her nature is actually a naughty and sarcastic little devil. Unlike Shiro, she was prepared to take part in the Holy Grail War from the beginning. It is very capable as a magician, and its servant is an archer.
Archer:
Tohsaka Rin's servant. Neighboring can also be sarcastic, but he is also a realist, and his first goal is to let the host win. He has great confidence in his ability to be cautious. Although he is an archer, he often goes up and fights with the other side. ...
Ilya:
Souffir von einzbern, full name Illyasveil Von Einzbern, has silver hair and red pupils, which reminds people of the girl in the ice and snow. This is the owner of Berserker Berserker. Although the appearance looks ice and snow smart, in fact, the personality is quite naive. With the development of the story, I met Shiro. ...
Berserker:
Elias's servant. Greatly strengthened the ability at the expense of losing rationality. If Saber is the best servant, he is the most powerful servant.
Lancer:
No one knows who his master is. He is a very bold and open-minded person. The most important thing for him to become a servant is not to get the holy grail, but to fight happily. Although he is rude and won't go easy on the enemy, he is also loyal to his beliefs.
Fujimura Taiga:
Although she is a woman, she has a very masculine name like Fujimura Taiga. She is the head teacher of Shi Lang's class, teaches English, and is a consultant of the bow department. She is known as the "Tiger of Winter Wood" (but she hates this title very much). Cherie has been taking care of Shiro since her death, and Shiro called her "Sister Teng". Because my father is the boss of the underworld, his family is very rich, but because Shi Lang and KINOMOTO SAKURA are good at cooking, they often come to Shi Lang's house for dinner. Naive and straightforward.
Matou Sakura:
A junior who is one level lower than Shi Lang, a member of the bow department. Because of an opportunity in the past, it's like being with Jeff and Shiro's family now. I often go to Shi Lang's house to cook. Although I am a little timid and shy at ordinary times, I sometimes become very active.
Kotomine Kirei:
Although he was a priest, he was also a magician and was sent to Dongmucheng as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. With a sense of oppression that priests don't have, he is not so much a misguided mentor as a devil who judges evil.
Emiya Kiritsugu:
Ten years ago, Emiya Shirou's adoptive father rescued Shi Lang from the fire and adopted him. Later, he couldn't stand Shi Lang's weakness and taught him magic. He is an anonymous magician who doesn't associate with the Magic Association. Even Tohsaka Rin, the manager of Dongmucheng, didn't know he existed. I often leave Shiro alone to travel around the world. In Shiro's impression, he will always be like a big boy, with a kind heart and a smiling face. He died five years ago at the age of 34.
Kuzuki Souichirou:
Head teacher of Tohsaka Rin's class, teacher of world history and ethics. As meticulous as a robot, I once stopped the whole mid-term exam because of a typo in the test paper and took it another day. Although his personality makes students afraid to approach, he is also revered. It can be said that Jeff is just the opposite.
Ryuudou Issei:
President of the Student Union, a good friend of Shiro. The son of the abbot of Liu Dong Temple seems to follow in his father's footsteps in the future. She has a bad relationship with Nosaka and often calls her "female fox".
Matou Shinji:
Matou Sakura's brother, the former college playboy of Sui Qun, and the deputy commander of Bow Department. Tohsaka Rin is very annoying because of his personality, but he loves to flatter himself. ...
Mitsuzuri Ayago:
A heroine who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, she is now the arch commander and Lin's bad friend. Although her personality is very unyielding, even if the other party is stronger than herself, she will not have any unhappiness, but will treat the other party as an opponent and compete fairly. Like a generous boy. The famous saying is: "How can a beauty not learn martial arts!"
Mango maple:
Tohsaka Rin is one of the three girls in the track and field department of her class. He is good at sprinting, and he is called "the leopard of the spikes". He and Tohsaka Rin are friends who go shopping together occasionally. Careless personality, unlike girls, often outspoken, typical funny personality. His interest is collecting wind chimes, which Tohsaka Rin rated as "a Japanese beauty who is very suitable for kimono".
Icehouse clock:
One of three women. The good event is the high jump. Typical rational glasses woman, stable personality, analysis first in everything.
Three auspicious branches:
One of three women. Track and field manager Although the appearance is not very beautiful, but that lovely smile can make people around feel warm and at ease, which leads Tohsaka Rin to keep his distance, although he doesn't hate her, so as not to expose his nature too easily in front of her.
Noun explanation and story background introduction
Magician: The magician here is actually what we usually call a magician. But there are only five kinds of magic in the world today, which is a great way to connect the mysterious roots and is synonymous with miracles. A magic can only be passed on to one magician. The rest can only be called magic.
Spells: The Holy Grail gives its master three kinds of "absolute command" over its servants, which are engraved on the body in the form of blood-red "holy marks". * * * There are three strokes, each of which is equivalent to a spell. With one spell, one will disappear. When the curse disappears completely, the magician loses the binding force on the servant, and at the same time loses the contract with the servant and is no longer the master. For the same master's spell, a clear, direct and short-lasting command is stronger than an ambiguous, complex and long-lasting command, and a weak binding spell may be ineffective or weaken the effect on a powerful servant. Of course, the impossible command will also be invalid. Laws can be used not only to restrain servants, but also to strengthen their abilities. Although the mantra is the magic crystallization given by the Holy Grail, even if the master is weak, its mantra has considerable ability, but the stronger the master's ability, the more effective the mantra is.
Magic Association: A self-defense (nominal, of course) group of magicians who study magic. Responsible for the management and hiding of magic. It is for this reason that the supervisor was sent to supervise the holy grail war. In the early days, it was divided into three departments: Torre dell'Orologio in London, the secret cellar of the giant in Egypt (that is, Atlas College specializing in alchemy, where Sion, the alchemist in the series of fighting games Melty Blood of Moon Ji, came from), and the wandering sea of the compound association with influence throughout northern Europe. Later, "Torre dell'Orologio" became the headquarters, and the three parties also held their own words. Because the magic in the Middle East is based on China's thought magic, which is incompatible with the Magic Association, and both sides are guarding against each other's invasion.
Supervisor: A supervisor sent by the Magic Association to supervise the progress of the Holy Grail War, restrain the master from doing too much harm, handle the aftermath for the master, and provide protection for the disqualified master.
Manager: The magician who manages a piece of land is generally inherited by the local magic family, and is simply a disguised landlord. When a foreign magician wants to stay on a piece of land, he must "show his interest" to the manager. However, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't abide by this rule, but hid his magician ability, so Yuanban didn't know his existence.
Studio: A laboratory owned by a magician.
Ling Ying: He made great achievements when he was a human being. As a human being, he reached the realm of elves (the elves here are not elves, but a supernatural existence), and after his death, he became Ling Ying and became an existence outside the time axis. There is also a spirit, although it does not actually exist, but its legend is extremely extensive and its popularity is extremely high, so it has become an "overhead spirit."
Treasure: Weapons and props owned by the spirit. There is a powerful magic. The treasure begins with the "real name" read by the holder as the key. However, since the servant was once a hero, his deeds may be widely known. When the enemy knows his real name, he may even know clearly which hero he is, what abilities he has and what weaknesses he has. Therefore, don't use it unless necessary. Because of this, the master who knows the servant's real name will never match his real name, but only his rank name. Therefore, the name of official rank has a double meaning: it not only represents its own official rank, but also is the "pen name" of servants in this world.
Class: The Holy Grail was set to make it easy for spirits to appear in this world. In the holy grail war, a level can only have one hero.
These seven levels are:
Knight of the sword: saber
Gun Knight: Lancer
Archer: Archer
Cavalry: rider
Magician: caster
Assassin: Assassin
Berserker: Berserker.
Introduction and comments of original works
Destiny/Stay overnight, originally a text AVG game made by Japanese Moon Company. I'm sure everyone has heard of Xing Yue. In 2000, when they were just a fan club, they released a fan game: Yueji. The word AVG, with its suspenseful story, delicate and unique world view and sad but redemptive ending, makes people ignore the roughness of its production. (In fact, the level of the same person's works is not low ...) In 2003, it was adapted into an animated film "Exploring the Moon and Recording the True Moon" by JC.STAFF. Although the handling of action scenes was simplified due to the production cost, what's more, due to the producer's deletion of the plot, the unique worldview of the moon was almost completely lacking, so it was criticized. But even so, it makes Le Ji more widely known, and many people play the original game after watching the animation.
After Type moon was transformed into a commercial company, its first commercial game "Fate/ Stay Over" (hereinafter referred to as fate) was released on June 30, 2004, and the script was still written by Yue Ji's screenwriter-Naisu きのこ (Naisu's last KO sound makes people mistakenly think Naisu is a woman, but in fact this word is in Japanese. This is because Naisu always takes a mushroom head as a selfie. In Destiny, the hero is neither a cripple nor a "straw bottle". Although there are three routes, it can be said that during the game, you don't really feel "who am I going to chase", but gradually understand everything about her and her thoughts until you swear to be the supporter of the other side, which seems natural and natural. And several servants, as legendary heroes, their unique personalities are also very attractive. Before his identity is revealed, guessing whether he is a legend or a mythical person is the interest of friends who like myths and legends.
In addition, fate's description of the battle is also extremely gorgeous and bloody. The game engine handles the split shots in an animated way, and with the cooperation of sound effects and BGM, every battle scene can be called an audio-visual feast, and several of them are even more fascinating. Until now, when I hear those BGM songs in OST, my blood will boil unconsciously.
Therefore, this adaptation of animation puts a lot of pressure on the producers. Because the proportion of its fighting scenes, if simplified, will certainly cause dissatisfaction among the audience. More importantly, the son of the dragon made two beautiful opening animations for fate. Although most viewers also understand that the difficulty and cost of making two one-and-a-half-minute opening animations are not the same as those of TV animations with more than ten words and more than twenty words, it is inevitable to be compared.
However, before Zhen Yuetan failed, Type moon was directly involved in animation production this time. 165438+The quality of the TV animation preview released on June 23rd is still very high. I believe that in June 2006, we will see a work that will not let us down.
