Today marks the beginning of a new weekly series focused on making it easier for you to enjoy Visual Novels on your Android devices. I’ll be highlighting one game a week: offering tips on how to get it onto your device, and pointing out useful game resources.
This week’s game:
I’m having a TON of fun playing Fate/Stay night on my Nexus 7 tablet. Even though I’ve already played/completed the game on my PC, there’s a certain magic to having familiar characters and music at my fingertips, and I love it. One of the coolest features (which really changes the play experience) of playing the game on the VNDS app is the removal of Fate’s full-screen text experience. For the first time ever I’m reading Fate with a bottom-of-the-screen text bar, which allows me to clearly see and enjoy the game’s amazing art.
Requirements: You’ll need five things to get this game on your device:
- The VNDS Android App (Paid – recommended for saving!) (Free)
- A copy of the game (Fuwanovel has you covered — click here for game page)
- Weeaboo’s VNDS converter (Link – Scroll down until you see Fate/Stay Night VNDS converter. Download the latest version.) (1.2.3 at the time of this publication)
- A (USB?) cable to transfer the program data onto your Android device
- ~1.4 GB free space (or less) on Android memory or SD card (space depends on how high of quality you like your images)
Installation Steps
- Boot the Weeaboo Fate/Stay Night (FSN) converter. The converter has a nice, logical GUI: point the converter to the correct “Game Folder”, or the location of the FSN game you downloaded, and specify a folder where you want it to export the VNDS version
- For “Target Platform”, select the resolution of images you want for your device. The larger the resolution, the higher quality the images will be on your device
- Click “Start”. The converter will run and will alert you when it’s finished
- Connect your device to your PC. Open up the android device and navigate to your “sdcard” folder
- Either find or create the following file structure: [sdcard]/vnds/novels
- Copy the FSN game folder into the “novels” folder. The folder you should copy over should be the game directory (so, within that “fate” folder should be the “background” “foreground” “save” “script” “sound” folders, etc.)
- Boot up the VNDS app. “Fate Stay Night” should be immediately visible in your game library. Click it to begin playing!

Fate/stay night is an amazing work. I am a recent Type-Moon fan off the Fate/Zero anime and tried the Fate/stay night anime. Not bad, but not amazing. After hearing pretty much every Fate fan say how much better the original visual novel was, I finally got it.A heads up to all fellow fans who do not speak or read Japanese, Fate/stay night has not and likely will not ever be given an English release. What you buy is in pure Japanese. Translation is done by downloading the fan-made patch from Mirror Moon. This download does not take all that long and the Mirror Moon website provides answers to some questions. Another heads up is that there are two kinds of visual novel discs you might get. The original CD-ROM version comes in three discs, and the DVD-ROM comes in one disc. Both work with Mirror Moon fine but I have been told the CD version is relatively rare outside Japan and you run the risk of being given fakes. Not to alarm anyone, but just make sure the seller is clear. Also, Fate/stay night features several scenes of sexual activity that were removed from the later PS2 and Vita releases. I am unaware of patches to remove those scenes though I am sure they exist. I just rushed through them as they were boring. This is a visual novel for the story, and I bought it for such.
A short plot summary for anyone who might not know. Fuyuki City is the hosting grounds for the Fifth Holy Grail War. Seven (usually) mages are chosen as Masters and summon Servants, Heroic Spirits from different ages like King Arthur, Hercules, and Gilgamesh. Each Servant has Noble Phantasms, weapons or skills that made them famous like Excalibur or Gae Bolg. The teams fight and kill each other and the last remaining Master and Servant obtain a wish from the Fuyuki Holy Grail. Shirou Emiya, after being attacked by the Servant Lancer, accidently summons Saber and enters the War to stop anything like the fire ten years ago, revealed to have been caused by the Fourth Holy Grail War, that only he survived.
Fate/stay night is divided into three routes: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heavens Feel. You start with Fate and unlock the others by completing the route before. The routes are almost completely different from each other beyond characters and general setting and makes them more interesting to read. Following the trend for visual novels each route is devoted to each of the three love interests of Saber, Rin, and Sakura. You are given choices at times that either continue the story or lead you to a Bad End or Dead End. At each poor End you can view the Tiger Dojo to be given a funny lecture on which choice you should have made. I recommend you keep several saves from different points of the route since some Bad/Dead Ends do not comes right after your choices or actions. Some can take a day or two to set in.
Extras in the game include unlockable lists for weapons, graphics, full information on the Servants, and the soundtrack. Just a side note, the soundtrack can be amazing. Church on the Hill, Emiya, and All Evils of this World rank at the top of my list. There are also two opening movies. These are fairly animated thought not much to talk about beyond the fact they exist.
This visual novel is amazing. The anime failed at doing it justice. If you are a fan of the Fate franchise I recommend you get it. Mostly because this is the only version you CAN get. As noted before, it has never been localized and the PS2 and Vita versions are Japan only as well. If you only speak or understand English, the computer version and a Mirror Moon patch is what you have to work with.
The Holy Grail War.
A great ritual that materializes the greatest holy artifact, the Holy Grail.
There are two conditions to participate in this ritual.
To be a magus, and to be a “Master” chosen by the Holy Grail.
(The experience as a magus is not questioned if one has the aptitude)There are seven chosen Masters, and seven classes of Servants.There is only one Holy Grail.
If you wish for a miracle.
Prove that you are the strongest with your powers.

Starting out you create your own special agent by picking out his gender and name. Throughout the numerous conversations you'll have during this game, you'll also be providing a certain sense of identity to your hero thanks to the option to switch between different set dialogs. Of course, you can always opt out and skip a couple of these little chats, but this is certainly not a recommended tactic or in your best interest. The plot line in Fate/Grand Order is one of its real strengths and it's well worth it to spend some time reading through them.
Lengthy conversations are not the only feature in Fate/Grand Order. Throughout this adventure you must also beat all the enemies as you encounter them which mostly means you'll be involved in some extremely head on turn-based battles. With over a dozen different 'servants' at your disposition to send out into combat, you're in charge of using each of their special attributes and skills as well as balancing their strong points and debilities without leaving aside each individual personality involved. Many of whom are old-timers present from the beginning of this saga.
Fate/Grand Order is an epic JRPG with a dramatic storyline underlying well laid out (some would say genius) tactical combat. All things considered, this is an outstanding game that delivers the same quality level after level. Obviously this entails extraordinary graphics and a tip top soundtrack to par its excellent playability.
