The sole relevance of Fate beyond Stay/Night and Zero comes from people trying to understand the correct watch order.

There is none. Its just Nasu trying to stay relevant by confusing fans.

I honestly don't get the point of all the spin-offs and side stories within the Fate universe. Most of them are barely watchable and don't offer anything new or unique that the main storyline doesn't already involve. Watch the main series and you've practically seen all of Fate.

No,no,no you got it all wrong, you see, Studio Deen Fate is bad so you gotta skip that

But starting with Fate/Zero is bad cuz Zero spoils Heaven's Feel

You also can't start with Unlimited Blade Works cuz that spoils Zero

Heaven's Feel is also a bad start cuz it spoils Unlimited Blade Works

Grand Order and Apocrypha already expect you to know some stuff about Fate, so it's a terrible starting point

So, what you gotta do is start with Fate/Kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA and actually just watch prisma Illya, most Fate fans agree that Illya is the best of what Fate has to offer, so you don't even have to bother with the rest of mediocre shows.

Anyone who has watched the Grand Order anime adaptations, would you say they're worth watching for someone who has never played the game? I'm really only familiar with the Fate/stay night & Fate/Zero stuff.

If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Because it's a multimedia franchise, the anime release order alone doesn't perfectly reflect the order things came out. 

Fate/Stay Night is the core entry and everything else is a spin off that doesn't have much of a proper order chronologically aside from Zero. F/SN has three routes: Fate (2006), UBW, and Heaven's Feel, and are presented in this order in the original visual novel. The 2006 anime is generally considered optional, but I recommend starting with these before branching out.

Edit: I should clarify that release order based on the original format is a better guide than from anime alone. I only point out chronology to explain that most spin offs are self-contained, making the "proper" order largely inconsequential.

I can't talk for others, but for me, ESPECIALLY WHEN we are talking about multimedia franchises, I choose to follow the in order of release, even if their stories aren't chronologically ordered - for instance, I would never watch Fate/Zero before Fate adaptations that came before it, even if it is a prequel.

I don't know, release order, IMO, is just the most direct, and simple way to follow it all, as well as the very evolution of it, if that makes any sense.

Once I catch up with the latest entries be they anime, or games, then I can go back, and watch them in any (other) order I want.

I've never played the game but I really enjoyed them. I didn't watch all of it (still missing Camelot 2 and the final movie) but what I saw was really good

Read the original Fate/stay night VN, then watch Fate/Zero. Maybe try out Carnival Phantasm. Ignore everything else. :p

This is how I got into it.  I personally think its the best way for newcomers:
1.Fate/Zero (2011)
2.Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014)
3.Fate/Stay Night – Heaven’s Feel (All 3 movies)
Something to note Heaven's Feel is another telling of Unlimited Blade Works (2014) but instead it focuses on another characters perspective which leads to different outcome and ending.

And there you now know 90% of the main timeline.  Everything you watch from here can only enhance your experience or ruin it lol. If you are not satisfied and want more from Fate, try watching Grand Order (chronologically in release order).  The series is about time travel and stopping bad things from happening with hero's of myths.  Apocrypha and PRISMA☆ILLYA can also be watched, again they're spinoffs. Just remember to watch Zero, UBW, and Heavens Feel first.

There are literally a million guides on the internet on how to watch this and people still make new threads instead of just using a fucking search engine once.
