Since we already have a thread for CCC, might as well make one for vanilla EXTRA, since people who might want to discuss the original and the CCC thread will contain spoilers for vanilla EXTRA no matter what we do.
I'm currently on my first playthrough with Saber and male protagonist (yay for emulation! The fact that it plays at a perfectly normal speed at my crappy PC is also a bonus) and I'm loving the game, though I'd wish that leveling-up would be easier (the amount of EXP needed is way too high). I'm also not a big fan of the rock-paper-scissors RPG but I can handle this.
So far I'm about to face Julius and his Servant (took Rin route), and out of all Masters, I loved Alice the most. Lil' Ronnie was just plain weird (then again, bulimic cannibal...). And despite getting the weekly healing item, I still visit Sakura in the infirmary every day ^_^
