- SO YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE NASUVERSE.
- Okay. Here are TYPE-MOON's works, sorted by franchise and recommended read/play/watch order in said franchise. "(TEXT)" indicates the type of medium, "[TEXT]" indicates comments. Read the second half of the copypasta for important instructions and download links. Note: All stories' settings are in the same multiverse.
- Made by an /a/non. This copypasta was last updated: [DD/MM/YYYY] 8/12/2012
- TSUKIHIME
- >(VN/manga) Tsukihime [instead of the Arcueid true route, the (good!) manga can also be read]
- >(VN) Tsukihime +Plus disc
- >(VN) Kagetsu Tohya
- >(VN, Fighting Game) Melty Blood ReAct
- >(Fighting Game) Meelty Blood Act Cadenza
- >(Fighting Game) Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code [Undergoing translation, which is being done quickly; currently at 0.51)
- >(Info-Book) Plus Period [collection of artwork and supplementary information for the Tsukihime-franchise; interesting, but no required read]
- Melty Blood ReAct is the original game with the original story, but with an additional arcade mode containing new stories and better gameplay. MBAC and MBAACC introduce new stories through the Arcade mode as well. MBAC's stories are mostly the 'what if' scenarios outside the main chronology. MBAACC is a continuation of the original Melty Blood storyline, following the Arcade of ReACT. Both MBRA and MBAACC include net-play. Also, don't bother with the Tsukihime anime, which doesn't exist.
- FATE
- >(VN) Fate/Stay Night [there's also an ongoing manga based on F/SN's second route Unlimited Blade Works: it's supposed to be disappointing, though - read the VN]
- >(LN/anime) Fate/Zero [prequel, read F/SN first]
- >(VN) Fate/Hollow Ataraxia [untranslated sequel, TL status is 77.2% as of March 2012, but they've been fast recently]
- >(Fighting Game) Unlimited Codes [PS2, PSP; no story, can be skipped]
- >(VN, Dungeon Crawler) Fate/Extra [PSP; canon, but unrelated continuity, because it plays in an alternate universe in the Nasu-multiverse; in doubt, alsways blame Zelretch; can be skipped]
- >(Info-Book) Fate/complete material [collection of artwork and supplementary information for the Fate-franchise; interesting, but no required read]
- Don't bother watching the F/SN anime or the UBW movie. The F/Z anime is very watchable, though, and an alternative to the LN (note that the LN is more complete, the anime skips some parts).
- KARA NO KYOUKAI
- >(Anime) Movie 1
- >(Anime) Movie 2
- >(Anime) Movie 3
- >(Anime) Movie 4
- >(Anime) Movie 5
- >(Anime) Movie 6
- >(Anime) Gate of Seventh Heaven [remix of movies 1 to 6; can be skipped]
- >(Anime) Movie 7
- >(Anime) Epilogue
- >(LN) Gospel of the Future [aka "Mirai Fukuin"; can be skipped; Soon getting adapted into a movie]
- There's also a new manga telling the stories of the movies you can read as an alternative, but ufotable did quite a feat with the movies. They are not in chronological order, by the way (but the unchronological order is the intended order; chronological: 2-4-3-1-5-6-GoSH-7-Epilogue-GotF).
- You might want to read Tsukihime before watching KnK, because it explains some of the franchise's concepts better, but it's not necessary.
- MAHOUTSUKAI NO YORU
- >(VN) Mahōtsukai no Yoru [undergoing translation; unlikely to be finished soon]
- OTHER TM FRANCHISES
- >(Shortstory) Notes
- >(LN) DDD
- >(Anime) Canaan [not Nasuverse]
- Notes is one of the first works set in the Nasuverse, and is the first story that refers to 'the unavoidable destruction of the planet' (later known as Program no.6 in Melty Blood) and introduced the concept of Aristoteles/The Ultimate Ones. A recommended read. It is unknown whether DDD is set in Nasuverse or not, as it doesn't make references to the known 'rules' of the universe (such as 5 magics, the Counter Force, or the Reality Marbles), and can be skipped.
- TM has many other, less-known works (most, if not all of them outside the Nasuverse). Not all of them are by Nasu (main writer) or Takeuchi (main illustrator, but also influential in the writing).
- ALL POPULAR FRANCHISES
- >(Manga) All Around TYPE-MOON - Ahnenerbe no Nichijou
- >(Anime) Carnival Phantasm [adaption of the manga Take-Moon]
- >(Tactics RPG) Battle Moon Wars
- Read/play/watch all of these only after having read/watched/played everything else, or some plot points will be confusing (at least for BMW, because "CP" and ">plot" does not comply). And that's about it.
- COMING SOON
- >(VN, Dungeon Crawler) Fate/Extra CCC [Spring 2012; sequel to Fate/Extra]
- --> Below: Instructions and download links <-----------------------------------------------------------------
- TSUKIHIME
- You can get a compilation of Tsukihime, Tsukihime +Plus disc and Kagetsu Tohya on BitGamer:
- http://www.bitgamer.su/details.php?id=43659
- You can get Tsukihime alone on mediafire, but make sure to get the +Plus disc and Kagetsu Tohya somewhere:
- www.mediafire.com/?3ovdrf0uk3olidx
- Erogedownloads has some DDLs for the setup and the English Patch of Tsukihime (1st link) and for +Plus disc (2nd link). They do not have Kagetsu Tohya.
- http://erogedownload.com/downloads/tsukihime/
- http://erogedownload.com/downloads/tsukihime-plusdisc/
- Tsukihime is very easy to complete, but here is a guide in case you need it. I recommend trying on your own, though.
- http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/917159-tsukihime/faqs/52673
- The officially and inofficially recommended route order is...
- ..............................BEWARE, POSSIBLE SPOILER.............. Arcueid-Ciel-Akiha-Hisui-Kohaku.
- Kagetsu Tohya
- KT is much, much harder than Tsukihime. You'll have to experiment a lot. Some recommend using a guide, but it is really much more fulfilling to do it on your own. In case you are a pussy and need it:
- http://kiserai.net/kt.html
- Melty Blood and ReACT
- http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4232619/Melty_Blood_(Original_and_ReAct)_[MirrorMoon_compatible_]
- As usual, go to Mirrormoon to for the English patch.
- Melty Blood Act Cadenza
- http://www.mediafire.com/?9aseovvf2bfwd
- http://www.mediafire.com/?tjglm4ftyjn [Utility for changing the keybinding on the keyboard].
- The only files you need to download are InstallMBAACCNoIso parts 1 to 6, and the English patch.
- Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code
- The following link has two copypastas with all the instructions necessary to set up MBAACC on your PC:
- http://pastebin.com/L7gJ7KBN
- /jp/ regularly has threads for net-play-sessions, /a/ sometimes, too.
- FATE
- Fate/Stay Night
- You can get the game as a patched standalone directory on BitGamer:
- http://www.bitgamer.su/details.php?id=23475
- There's also one on Piratebay (checked for viruses):
- http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4915049
- And some DDLs on Erogedownloads, but not for a standalone directory:
- http://erogedownload.com/downloads/fatestay-night/
- Note: ALL THE ABOVE F/SN LINKS STLL NEED THE RÉALTA NUA PATCH. This is important.
- Get the Réalta Nua Patch. It adds a lot of CGs, music tracks, voices, sound effects and an additional ending from the age-free PS2 version of the game. That's why there are no voices for the H-scenes. It does NOT remove any scenes or CGs. Direct link to patch 4.2:
- http://rnpatch.blogspot.com/2009/12/realta-nua-patch-version-42.html
- It's important to get the latest version or you will miss out a lot, especially CGs and music tracks. Beneath the header there is always a link to the newest version. Check whether 4.2 is still the newest.
- You can easily install by dragging the patch's files into F/SN's main directory, but read the readme for instructions.
- After having installed the 4.2 patch, install the 4.2 patch fix (link can be found in the previous link under "Update for 4.2").
- To ensure the patch has installed successfully, go into gallery mode and click on "Another". There should be 8 pages (circles) instead of 7.
- Fate/Zero
- You can get the DDL batch-release of Season 1 by UTW. Season 2 will air in April 2012.
- http://utw.me/2012/01/02/fatezero-s1-batch/
- In case you want to read the LN, mangatraders has it.
- http://www.mangatraders.com/manga/series/4761
- Other links to the LN (top-to-bottom: PDF, PDF DDL, EPUB):

- Fate/Extra
- The following link has all the instructions necessary to emulate F/E on your PC:
- http://pastebin.com/UrKNfAvp
- KARA NO KYOUKAI
- You can get the releases by Coalgirls or Afternoon Naps Empire for the anime. CG include both the retail subs and gg-TakaJun's subs (better than retail). The ANE-release is sharper, but bigger and Pretentious' subs (modified retail) ANE used for most of the movies are rather "liberal" (e.g.: "Godot's word" instead of "God's word"). They aren't wrong, but the English-speaking fanbase is familiar with TakaJun's terminology (he TL'ed the TM VNs).
