In a 2006 interview with Dengeki Online, lead writer Kinoko Nasu and character designer Takashi Takeuchi noted that they were never fully satisfied with the original PC release of Fate Stay/Night, considering it only 95% complete. However, rather than their beliefs stemming from the inability to add content, the pair stated that their main issue was that they didn't remove enough, with Takauchi calling the PC version cluttered and overlong. Consequently, a major challenge during the development of the PlayStation 2 port, Fate/Stay Night: Réalta Nua, was striking an ideal balance between streamlining the game and adding in additional material to incentivize purchasing it over the PC version.
