  1. SO YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE NASUVERSE.
  2.  
  3. Okay. Here are TYPE-MOON's works, sorted by franchise and recommended read/play/watch order. "(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.
  4. Made by an /a/non. This copypasta was last updated: [DD/MM/YYYY] 10.02.2012
  5.  
  6. TSUKIHIME
  7. >(VN/manga) Tsukihime [instead of the Arcueid true route, the (good!) manga can also be read]
  8. >(VN) Tsukihime +Plus disc
  9. >(VN) Kagetsu Tohya
  10. >(VN, Fighting Game) Melty Blood ReAct
  11. >(Fighting Game) Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code [no story]
  12. >(Info-Book) Plus Period [collection of artwork and supplementary information for the Tsukihime-franchise; interesting, but no required read]
  13. Melty Blood ReAct is the original game with the original story, but with an additional arcade mode and better gameplay. MBAACC is gameplay only. Both MBRA and MBAACC include net-play. Also, don't bother with the Tsukihime anime, which doesn't exist.
  14.  
  15. FATE
  16. >(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]
  17. >(LN/anime) Fate/Zero [prequel, read F/SN first]
  18. >(VN) Fate/Hollow Ataraxia [untranslated sequel, TL status is 72,1% as of 01.01.2012, but they've been fast recently]
  19. >(Fighting Game) Unlimited Codes [PS2, PSP; no story, can be skipped]
  20. >(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]
  21. >(Info-Book) Fate/complete material [collection of artwork and supplementary information for the Fate-franchise; interesting, but no required read]
  22. 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).
  23.  
  24. KARA NO KYOUKAI
  25. >(Anime) Movie 1
  26. >(Anime) Movie 2
  27. >(Anime) Movie 3
  28. >(Anime) Movie 4
  29. >(Anime) Movie 5
  30. >(Anime) Movie 6
  31. >(Anime) Gate of Seventh Heaven [remix of movies 1 to 6; can be skipped]
  32. >(Anime) Movie 7
  33. >(Anime) Epilogue
  34. >(LN) Gospel of the Future [aka "Mirai Fukuin"; can be skipped]
  35. 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).
  36. You might want to read Tsukihime before watching KnK, because it explains some of the franchise's concepts better, but it's not necessary.
  37.  
  38. ALL POPULAR FRANCHISES
  39. >(Manga) All Around TYPE-MOON - Ahnenerbe no Nichijou
  40. >(Anime) Carnival Phantasm [adaption of the manga Take-Moon]
  41. >(Tactics RPG) Battle Moon Wars
  42. 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.
  43.  
  44. OTHER TM FRANCHISES
  45. >(LN) DDD
  46. >(Anime) Canaan [not Nasuverse]
  47. >(Shortstory) Notes
  48. TM has many other, less-known works. Not all of them are by Nasu (main writer) or Takeuchi (main illustrator, but also influential in the writing).
  49.  
  50. COMING SOON
  51. >(VN) Mahoyo [April 2012]
  52. >(VN, Dungeon Crawler) Fate/Extra CCC [Spring 2012; sequel to Fate/Extra]
  53.

  55. --> Below: Instructions and download links <-----------------------------------------------------------------
  56.  
  57.  
  58. TSUKIHIME
  59. You can get a compilation of Tsukihime, Tsukihime +Plus disc and Kagetsu Tohya on BitGamer:
  60. http://www.bitgamer.su/details.php?id=43659
  61. You can get Tsukihime alone on megaupload, but make sure to get the +Plus disc and Kagetsu Tohya somewhere:
  62. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1ujzv7rl
  63. 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.
  64. http://erogedownload.com/downloads/tsukihime/
  65. http://erogedownload.com/downloads/tsukihime-plusdisc/
  66.  
  67. Tsukihime is very easy to complete, but here is a guide in case you need it. I recommend trying on your own, though.
  68. http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/917159-tsukihime/faqs/52673
  69. The officially and inofficially recommended route order is...
  70. ..............................BEWARE, POSSIBLE SPOILER.............. Arcueid-Ciel-Akiha-Hisui-Kohaku.
  71.  
  72. Kagetsu Tohya
  73. 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:
  74. http://kiserai.net/kt.html
  75.  
  76. Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code
  77. The following link has two copypastas with all the instructions necessary to set up MBAACC on your PC:
  78. http://pastebin.com/L7gJ7KBN
  79. /jp/ regularly has threads for net-play-sessions, /a/ sometimes, too.
  80.  
  81. FATE
  82. Fate/Stay Night
  83. You can get the game as a patched standalone directory on BitGamer:
  84. http://www.bitgamer.su/details.php?id=23475
  85. There's also one on Piratebay (checked for viruses):
  86. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4915049
  87. And some DDLs on Erogedownloads, but not for a standalone directory:
  88. http://erogedownload.com/downloads/fatestay-night/
  89.  
  90. Note: ALL THE ABOVE F/SN LINKS STLL NEED THE RÉALTA NUA PATCH. This is important.
  91. 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:
  92. http://rnpatch.blogspot.com/2009/12/realta-nua-patch-version-42.html
  93. 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.
  94. You can easily install by dragging the patch's files into F/SN's main directory, but read the readme for instructions.
  95. 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").
  96. To ensure the patch has installed successfully, go into gallery mode and click on "Another". There should be 8 pages (circles) instead of 7.
  97.  
  98. Fate/Zero
  99. You can get the DDL batch-release of Season 1 by UTW. Season 2 will air in April 2012.

  109. The following link has all the instructions necessary to emulate F/E on your PC:
  110. http://pastebin.com/UrKNfAvp
  111.  
  112. KARA NO KYOUKAI
  113. 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).
