When you finally reach the ending—when the loop breaks and the truth of Bazett and Avenger is revealed—you will likely feel a profound sadness. Not because the story is tragic (though parts are), but because the peace was always borrowed. You will have spent dozens of hours watching these characters laugh, cook, and fight over nothing, only to realize that you were saying goodbye the entire time.
Play it slowly. Play it completely. And when the final credits roll and the title screen changes, do what the game intends: take a breath, remember the loops, and be grateful for a peace that, however hollow, was precious. fate hollow ataraxia play
