Yes so fate stay night has H scenes in it in regards to mana replenishment.

I think it's because it's fans are horny lol. It started as an eroge after all.

So they have that to look forward to. Because I think that's the system combat wise they'll end up enjoying the most because it's imo objectively the best of the three of them. Even if it isn't my favorite.

I don't think they enjoy the combat of the first game though. Which is kinda fair imo. I personally love the second games combat system the most but I think they probably won't like that one either. I've been talking about the combat of the third game to them.

They're also continuing the bit I started when I was playing it and every time they mention chaos they say his name as a whisper.

Its on steam too! And looks really good on there.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN AFTER THAT ENDING IT STILL HAPPENS. THAT'S NOT FAIR OMG. I was like okay yes crisis averted. NOT QUITE THOUGH.

I have to say I'm really happy that I went into this completely blind. I'd seen some people say that Higurashi is something it absolutely isn't leading up to silent hill f coming out. And it really hasn't been that at all.

I do wonder if I'm anywhere close with any of these theories. Guess I'll find out later.

Like it never feels INTENTIONAL that he's causing them to go crazy. It feels like he wants to further his own plan to take down the Sonozaki family by any means necessary. So he uses people like tools to do that. But I don't think he means to cause those people harm. I think he just doesn't care.

It's just weird that she gave her scrapbooks to two different people and that's caused their descent. Ooishi has for sure done it more than twice but there's just something about him that makes me feel like maybe he's just not thinking things through all the way.

And it might be a red herring but I'm really thinking that maybe in each one she's not dead. Maybe in each iteration she's trying to further the descent into madness of the main characters. I just don't know WHY SHE WOULD. And what is she doing if she isn't dead.

I'm also going to go all in on either him being the main villain. Or somehow Miyo being the main villain. Like she's dead almost the whole time in each one. But it's really weird to me that they've referenced her body being dead for a whole 24 hours before the festival.

I have this other back and forth theory about Ooishi maybe also somehow retaining consciousness. But idk. I think it's more plausible that there's something about this iteration of the world that's different. And he doesn't actively know but maybe things just slip into this world easier.

But to get confirmation that Yes she is in fact experiencing all of these things again and again and keeping her consciousness between different cycles is very satisfying. Because I've had this theory in my mind since I think chapter 2?

Going into this completely blind I thought "Huh, she sure does seem to know a lot more than she should" and in the last chapter, the whole Sh/Mion her syringe moment was almost complete confirmation that yes, she knows more than the others.

MAJOR HIGURASHI SPOILERS BELOW. Idk if it matters but I wanted to at least try to give the heads up.

Listen this isn't the first instance of it I don't think. But I think this is the first time the story has been absolutely clear about what's going on.
