What is the word count in FSN?

[Flicker]

First post here, nice to meet all of you.

Anyway, I was wondering, since FSN isn't in book form, I was always curious about how big it would be.

I'm sure that Tsukihime was around 600,000 + words, does anyone know how many words FSN is?

Or at least, a comparison to Tsukihime.

Thank you.

[Catastrophe]

over 9000 words

[solopy567]

Damn it got beaten to it!

Its less than Tsukihime is all I know.

[Mazyrian]

LESS than Tsukihime? It took me over 50% more time to finish FSN than Tsukihime; I remember reading about triple word count? And Tsukihime was about 2000 pages.

[Flicker]

Yeah, I always got the feeling that Fate stay night probably around double the length of tsukihime. However, that might just be because of the flashy effects and cgs so everything felt longer.

[Catastrophe]

in all seriousness now, you might have a better chance of actually discovering something by asking takajun, he lurks mostly in the irc channel

[Bejarid]

I'll try to make a soft to word count FSN, I'll tell you the result when it's done )

Fate/Stay Night feels longer.However, my estimate is that the F/SN to Tsukihime word ratio
is 2:3. If you say Tsukihime is 600k +, then F/SN would be 400k +.

EDIT:Okay, F/SN is longer.

My soft have found that:

In this directory, 721 files have been count successfully.
They have 26633 pages, 90031 lines and 20595 words.

I have count pages without text (like transistion pages), and lines without word (like line with "..."). But all word have at less one letter or number (so it doesn't count "...?" for example).

However, maybe my soft have wrong, if anyone want see the code, I will post it (C#). But I have verified that with Word in some file, and that seems good.

Per arc:

► Show Spoiler

Prologue: 676 pages, 2313 lines and 26246 words.
Fate: 9530 pages, 28056 lines and 299080 words.
UBW: 7221 pages, 22154 lines and 219495 words.
HF: 9206 pages, 37508 lines and 275774 words.

Strangely, I believed that HF is longer than Fate...

Woah, my estimate was half-off![unless yours is incorrect]
Well you did say that unnecessary pages were counted so it would round up to
550-650k, I think.

Me too........

[Bejarid]

No unnecessary words have been counted (only some pages that dont have any line, and some lines that don't have any word), and even, 20k are under the reality, because I don't count the choices.

[Dark_Habit]

Ahh, you didn't take the choices into account.
Then there's no point in me estimating, the possible range if difficult to predict.

[Flicker]

alright, thanks for answering guys.

This was really just to satisfy my curiosity on the length of the game, but thanks anyway p.

Fate is the longest?

After finishing HF today I thought HF had to be the longest.

Turns out (if you're right) I'm wrong.

Oh well, UBW will always be my favorite even though its considerably shorter (

I also had this impression, but I think it's because HF deal with a more difficult subject, and is more dense.

Well if you're not including the many Bad Ends you can get in any of the routes it seems rather beliveable, but you got to add into the fact that HF has a Simple End, and Good End (expands on the Simple End somewhat), and the True End.I kind of wonder what the word cout is when you include the Bad Ends and the Tiger Dojos in those respective storylines as well.

No more than 7 figures.

[Bejarid]

My soft have count all end (bad, true, good) and tiger dojo in their relative route, and even the last tiger dojo (the one you unlock with all tiger stamps) is in HF count. But not the large number of animations of course...

For the minitheater, I don't know where they are stored, so I can't be sur they are count.
