Well, it definitely happens. We'd end up laying side by side, making out and then literally just hug and sleep. She and I were Christians, so we both had the conviction to not have sex before marriage, so sex was out of the question. Whether you believe it is up to you.
>Christians
As a person who went to a christian school I can say without doubt that 1) Being christian doesn't stop it from happening and 2) Convictions fade.
I'm not saying I don't believe it because I have met people in the same area of conviction. All I'm saying is that if you take most people and put them in said situations they would get the banging on.
I especially find it unlikely in cases of these VN's where some characters won't see each other again or for a long while or they may even die and nothing happens.
For the above I merely need to point to WW2 and the baby boomers to prove my point that people just get that shit on especially in cases when they won't see each other again or two might die.
And like I said this isn't even taking what happens on average in high schools into account.

That's actually what I've been doing since I got Tamamo, so they're both at lvl 90 and have decent skill levels
and Vlad is going to become a lot stronger as soon as the London interludes are released so I'm looking forward to that. The reason I was asking was just because I also want to use a different kind of team sometimes, for example against riders which are the worst matchup for my main team or even just for fun 
.
Know exactly what you mean, I have every 4 star servant and almost every 5 star and I am having much fun delving into using 3stars like Hassan, Cu Chu (fate), Ushi, Medea, Medusa, Hans, and Leonidas. And that's just the people now, Caesar I have yet to use but apparently he is amazing, same with Lu Bu, Robin hood, and later on when they get their interlude ups, shakespear, mozart, etc.
The comp I recommended you is good for lancer/quick/crit team

Ok so I guess I have to level my lower star servants a bit more. I've kinda ignored them a bit since I had very nice luck gacha-wise so my 5-star ones are lvl 80-90 and my 3-stars at most at 50.
I would say it's more about compatibility.
Cu and Shishou are quick users and Atalanta (Hassan as well) are great for feeding them stars to pump out that damage. Caesar and Hans do similar in bumping crit, Ushi and other riders also benifit from crit stars. Cu in and of itself is great as a sort of unkillable dog who always comes back. He will be the one who is just doing damage and staying alive while Shishou does the majority. anyone else is there to just dump crit stars into the team OR pick Liz to farm with (liz has AOE lancer NP which is great for wiping out floors)

Can anyone help me with team composition? I got Shishou from my last summon but I can't really figure out with who and with which CE she goes best. My other gold servants are Tamamo, Vlad, Altera, EMIYA, Liz (NP2), Carmilla (NP2), Atalante (NP2) and Stheno.
You need some 3 stars. Got any Cu Chu? other than that Atalanta is great for giving crit stars and CuChu is good in the team. For CE, 2030 (new CE in this banner), but if you want her as an attacker, get either 80% NP starting CE, the +30[MAX] (or 25%? not max) to Quick Card CE, or even the hallowwen princess CE
If you want to use Shishou as support put her with Cu, Ushi or quick riders. For more attacking roles put her with Hans, Caesar along with Atalante.
Want to clear? Liz, Shishou, Cu (or switch Cu out with Atalante).

Oh boy a post I can actually do.
So here is the thing, I do a lot of dub watching but also sub watching. Some series such as Steins;Gate I can't touch with a ten foot pole in dub. Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Briggade?) on the other hand I watched in entirely dub (although I know what the sub sounds like).
I honestly dono how to feel, I understand they do try there best but I feel sometimes the characters are dub incorrectly. As in they either try too hard to copy the original VA which fucks the english up so badly (for example lolis or loli like voices end up getting so fucking annoying in english because it just sounds bad) or the character sounds very "out-of-Character." example being a calm stern voice in Japanese ending up not so much that in english.
Point is, it really isn't about how good the VA is, it's about how the english is trying to portray the character that, to me, is either a hit or miss. I can name numerous shows that I enjoyed in dub and still do but at the same time I can name quite a number that just hurt my ears or annoyed me.

Could someone help me on how to buy quartz outside US? The guaranteed 5star summon is coming up on NA so...
Depends where you are.
More info is needed. For example I'm in Canada. So why exactly are you unable to buy quarts and where are you country wise?

Which is why I'm an advocate of tell and not show in these cases. It's far easier to allude to the fact sex happened which actually feels more naturally than dictating the scene itself.
I am a person who hates almost every VN that doesn't have H-Scenes. But I never read them, why? Because yes they are bad but they, imho, serve a purpose of grounding a story in reality. There are few exceptions to these.
Steins;Gate being one of those times, but in most VN's where the MC's and MH's are in there teens, it is completely natural to fuck. In fact a scene where people don't has me questioning wtf is going on. Take Eien no Aselia for instance, All Ages version has multiple times where it builds up builds up and then "We hug and then sleep." This is not what happens to adults, this is not what happens to teenagers. They would fuck.
Does the scene itself turn out awful? Yes but because of this all you need to allude to as the writer is shit went down, not HOW it went down.
Sex is a building block of a relationship and also the transition of a person and in a story where leaving sex out feels unnatural kills it for me than a story with sex that feels terribly written.

Well I couldnt resist so I finished the story. Took me a lot of tries and a Waver support to defeat Medea Lily and the Jason thing though. Now comes the more boring part of grinding for exp and mats. I wish they would release London soon...
It isn't too bad honestly, you get like...how much stam? i'm at around 120 that's 3x40 AP quests about twice a day.
If you can't run AP 40, grind until you can as that's really the only thing you want to be running. (unless you are getting QP or ascension material.

So I've been reading about these people who levelled up their servants to 50+ before even doing septem.. And here I am almost done with okeanos with only a level 30+ team.. With only Cu lancer and Medea on 2nd ascension.. Am I doing it wrong? Should I focus more on exp than clearing the story?
Do whats more fun, if you are REALLY into the story then do it. If you are getting bored or wana experiment with characters/ascend them, take a break and get materials and exp to do so.

I dedicate this to all those who pulled Okita on Yolo or few summons.
I took all your bad luck, 650 quartz 0 okitas, 0 5*s, and in my 23 rolls in a row, I got the BARE min. Best roll was my last.
-
300 quarts in, 2 emiya and 1 anne. Got a random Marie on a ticket though.
Gonna try another 150 later and stop, I don't need Okita, would be nice though.

But language doesn't matter. If you want to download, you will download any version regardless of language.
Theres is no point to buy japanese version if don't understand that language. English fan TL brings only new potential customers that may(or not) buy this game. Also if we assume the English community as a bunch of filthy pirates, then prepackaged edition is even better, because it is useless for those, who want to play in original, and people who download it - will never buy original version. Then what the point?
You should be proud if someone want to translate your work for free(bad TL is another story...) and share it with more people. I just can't see how this can bring any harm for sales...
Pretty much this. I will never buy anything I can't enjoy and honestly I can't enjoy something I don't understand.
The only JP thing I bought that wasn't in english was Fate/Unlimited Codes and that was because I wanted to play the fighting game before the english came out and couldn't wait.
It's sad but this is the case for me. I have cash to spare and want to give them money, but I ain't giving money for a game I can't play and this really goes for anything. I'm not going to spent money on a AAA game that was gutted nor a game that is not in the language I prefer to play it in. I've bought tons of VN's back in the day (still currently) for the pure reason that they had fan TLs and I could play them eventually.
I should also state that his decision to not go along with sakuragames is, in fact, a good one. Putting out the above it at least seemed like he was all for an english version coming out and that's something I can get behind but SakuraGames and the way they do business is extremely unprofessional. He should absolutely be protecting his property and take it seriously. Good for him on this matter.

I'm lovin the sprites, I'll keep an eye on this.

Oh, I assumed you were playing JP, whoops
Yeah, she's a limited 4 star only available during the first summer event and its rerun(s?). So you'll have to wait until early August, most likely.
Unless Kiyohime is in the other halloween events then yeah they were talking about the NA first halloween event.
I fairly enjoyed this event as well, especially Elisa. Almost every scene with her makes me enjoy her more and more and she has quickly become one of my favourites (sadly her interlude sucked compared to almost every scene she is outside of it).
I saw the current JP Halloween event and I must say I'm very excited for that to come to NA and for myself to get a Mecha Elisa.
I did get Tamamo after a lot of whaling but currently I'm only missing Jeanne D'ark and Sakata from my 4/5 star roster. Got everyone else.

Yes. I guess its not a true fan tl.
However it added a significant amount of content
-Includes all exclusive PS3 and PSVita content (characters, events, CGs, voices).
-Inserts subtitles for battle/map voices.
-Translates all configuration menus
-Adds a difficulty selector: Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Nightmare
-Includes 2 translated Gawain H-scenes from Eiyuu*Senki GOLD
-Expands Galleries to accommodate the newly added contentIn other words, they even added more h-content from eiyuu senki gold. Most of the people with errors, have one of the older patches. The latest patch (1.7) works well on my/all my friends computers.
My main thought was that, normally when a patch exists (fan-made or otherwise), people may still opt to buy the licensed version (to support the writers, get a better translation).
However, when the content of the licensed version is less than that of the previously released patch, wont a lot more people have motivation to use the old fan-made patch rather than buy the licensed version? Even more than a normal localisation after a fan patch?
Again, main issue here is Licensing. Sometimes it's just impossible to get all the rights necessary to have this accomplished. And if you can't get the rights you are liable to be sued. Do remember that these official companies are profiting of these releases and as such the original companies that put in work are able to sue if proper steps are not taken.
Fans on the other hand don't have this handicap and can literally, LITERALLY, do whatever the fuck they want. I could, theoretically, add in Linkin Park music as the OST or add in functionality to the game that wasn't there before. And not only do I need not get the rights to either the company who made the game, I don't even need to bother with music licensing.
And in regards to ALL of this, if you are going to sit there and go "well I'm not going to spend money because there is a free, better, version out there" then do just that. I personally have bought many visual novels and never opened them purely because I played the fan translated releases when they came out but I do in fact want to support the developers. Just like games I used to pirate long ago I all have in either a digital or physical paid copy. If content is so important to you, get the fan translated edition, play the fan translated edition. But if you want to support the sales of a game you enjoy, go purchase it, regardless of which version you play.
Add to this is a person didn't even know of everything you are talking about they would still purchase the game, play it, and that's that. It's not like the company is going "Hey everyone buying this product, look there is a fan version out there that has a shitload more content then the one we put out...just saying."
If the customer doesn't know, the customer won't care. So you might give a crap because you know, but many others who actually buy the game might not know this and therefore don't care.

So I did a reset (just because) and got Emiya as my staring 4-star. He seemed underwhelming at the moment, though he can spam his UBW NP quite a lot.
Doing my second quartz summon pulled me FSN Cu (my Cu the first time was Cu Prototype), Medusa... And Elizabeth Bathory (I guess she really likes me).
So I read that FSN Cu survivability is insane so I was thinking of using him as my lancer instead of Elizabeth. Is this a good idea?
Also seems like not having one leveled up servant from each class is very tough, as I experienced with those Berserk servants in Orleans. Carmilla gave me a very hard time.
So I was thinking of Sasaki Kojiro for my Assassin, Gilles de Rais for Saber (My only saber) and Caster Cu for Caster. Cant decide between Ushiwakamaru, Medusa and Alexander for Rider, and Lubu and Asterios for Berserker....
From my experiences fucking around in NA. I believe Ushi is good stuff along with Medusa. Lubu is also great.
Cu Chu is good as well and so is Sasaki. I would recommend for Saber, Caesar instead of Gilles. Just wait until you roll him, you probably will eventually and from what I hear he is by far the better saber.
Funny enough in terms of NP I actually hear people like Lu Bu and Caesar even give 5 stars a run for their money so I would recommend them highy for damage dealers (Lubu can't survive shit though so he would be the person you put last in the team).
However in this stage in the game focusing on 1 person isn't going to do you much, I would instead focus on 2+support. that means people like LuBu + anyone + support. Support being Hans if you manage to roll him, he is by far one of the best casters at this moment. He will increase serviceability by a lot.
The problem at this moment is really that you are starting so Eliz would be capped at 40 and Cu at 30, despite Cu's survivability the damage puts Eliz ahead so I would work on both of them if you get a chance as this would make your archer-counter team great.
My teams mainly consist of Counter-Berserker-Support though. Support being anyone needed to support the Counter (In cu's case this is hans, in cases like Caesar this is Shakespear/Mozart (i think) or even people like Hassan for crit stars (for caesar). And Counter being of course whatever you need to REALLY kill.
Although my experiences at this moment are only limited to saber/archer/lancer i have yet to really delve into my rider/assassin servants. For caster though Medusa is great for damage dealing and NP spamming, Hans is great for support. but i would highly suggest playing the halloween even right now as I hear Caster Eliz (who is free if you play event and you can even, for free, NP5 her) is a GREAT caster for farming.

Well after a...lot of whaling, I got a Tamamo...probably good for a long while.

I guess you haven't met my boy Cu
Dat man is my Hero.
But give Bathory love.
As for tips, you can beat the game with any servant so don't get hung up on stars and who is "Best" just get the ones you want and have fun.

I'll wait until the weekend to try again.
-
Spent probably much more than I should have, no Tamamo no Mae, and instead I got like...6 Tamamo Cats (I already had NP3), 2 Camillas, and a god damn Waver (Already have a NP2 Waver).such a waste.

One more day until Tamamo Whale.

My account wants a word with you.
And I would only say 3 5 stars I have whaled extreme for, Waver which after spending quite a lot of money, he has spooped me 2 additional times on random banners giving me a NP3. Okita which I got only because my luck was SOOO bad during that banner (1000sq down without a single 5 star servant or 4 star servant). Then in 300 after I got Drake NP3 and Okita Finally back to back in the same pack. And Tamamo which took me a bit.
Altera was my starting servant and also one I got in the guaranteed gacha, Drake NP1/ Orion, and many 4 stars i got in tickets. Shishou and Kintoki in the same pack, Gil first 30 roll on his banner, and many others in at least 1 or two packs.
One or two packs seems like a lot but considering the rate is pretty good.
