Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Review - The Sequel that Surpassed a Masterpiece!

Welcome to my review of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia! Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is a visual novel that was originally developed and published by Type-Moon in 2005. In 2014, it received an enhanced port on the PlayStation Vita, which added voice acting and is essentially the basis for what the 2025 remastered version would become. Like I said at the beginning of this video, it is amazing to me that despite how popular the Fate franchise is, it took until 2024 and 2025 to properly release Fate/Stay Night and Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia with official English translations, coincidentally, celebrating both of their 20th anniversaries. Regardless, they are both here now and as someone who got into the Fate series a little backwards by watching every single anime adaption before going back to the original visual novels, after reading both Fate/ Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, I can safely say that they are without a doubt the best stories in the Fate series and now two of my favorite games of all time. Naturally, the original visual novel is going to inspire many of the spin-off series, but I was shocked by how many characters, references, and bits of lore were first established in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia before making their way over to Prisma Illya, Fate/Grand Order, and even Carnival Phantasm. While the original Fate/Stay Night had a very satisfying ending, their were many unanswered questions, which Fate/Hollow Ataraxia was able to answer, delivering one of the most satisfying conclusions to a story I have ever read. I can't recommend Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but more importantly the entire Fate series enough and hope that this video inspired you to get into the series as well. My next review will be on Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Pseudo-Singularity III: Shimousa.
