Some parts of how the story is told kinda bothers me in fsr.

The lack of screen time some characters get and how the routes dont mention some servants really bothers me.

What I hated the most was the transition between chapters, lots of things happen then suddenly it is cut to another scene. The endings also needed an epilogue or something.

FGO JP is letting players pick any 4* servant regardless whether they're in pool or limited

No Summer 8 servants though..
 
I just want to be fucking done with this game but there is no escape
Fuck you Elizabeth and fuck your gay ass attention whoring events. I've been playing since JP launch and the game just isn't fun anymore. And they're artificially extending the story in JP now with that Ordeal Call gayness... Jesus just finish the plot, close the game, and make an FGO2 that has a system that isn't actively painful to play.

I feel like they’re between a rock and a hard place on that - yes, FGO is hilarious outdated as far as mobile gacha games, and an FGO2 would probably be a breath of fresh air. But at the same time, FGO still prints money on new characters, and I legitimately wouldn’t be surprised if some people dipped, if not got proper angry, if they couldn’t bring all the characters they’ve whaled for into FGO2.

This game is kept running by inertia and weebs sunk cost, and EoS is going to be a bitch to both weeb and company.

This Halloween event was my least favorite in terms of new servants, Zenobia is personality wise is cool and her being the straight man of the whole group, just kind of having to accept schizo shenanigans Chaldea goes through is fun, but sadly that's very limited because the other 99% of her personality is her talking how degraded and disgraced she is because she's chained and has her tits out.

I already expressed my opinion about Molay a while ago, but to summarize it, her whole personality is just
making Horny French anime girl noises because someone in Lasengle wanted that so badly to goon off.

It doesn't help she has an annoying fanbase of troons due to her being a genderbend of an existing male character that's in Arcade, with it being explicitly stated she was that guy but because of Shub Niggurath, he got turned into a woman and being voiced by a Japanese pooner.

As for Ordeal Call, I wouldn't have a problem with it if it had a consistent chapter releases like EoR had, but since this is now Lasengle, the company that has been inconsistent with release dates and re-runs, I can understand why people are dipping out.

This could be just me but I genuinely feel like since 8th Anniversary and its whole ordeal made people sour and people being more critical about FGO, can't blame them because previous anniversaries featured game very good improvements and servants relevant to the Lostbelt arc (except for 7th anniversary but i'll talk about that in my point below) that shook up the "meta" of the game, meanwhile 8th anniversary didn't have any game improvements and its anniversary servant was basically a summer/event servant packed as an anniversary one with only interesting gimmick going on with them being "The lower your health is the more damage you get" and her S3 start being on cooldown when she enters the battle.

That feeling of sourness was doubled down, especially seeing how many people unironically defended it
with excuses (which can dismantled very easily) such as:

>"Well you set yourself up for disappointment by expecting something big"
How do you not expect people to feel disappointed when 7th anniversary
we got Arcueid and Xu Fu? Arcueid despite being clearly a fanservice character,
had a unique gimmick with her NP that let her change the whatever field she
was on to Millennium Castle. Xu Fu is basically considered 3* Castoria

for those that don't have the regular one.

>"Are you really forgetting how lackluster the 1st anniversary was?"
It was literally the 1st anniversary of course it wasn't gonna be something grandiose, especially when
the game team and executives were unsure if this game was going to be successful.


>"Did you really think they wouldn't try milking Aesc/Tonelico?"
Everybody knew we're gonna get Summer Morgan one way or another, given
she hit the 2 years quota that female servants eligible for a swimsuit variation have
to meet

>"Muh ""smol indie"" company" excuse
Lasengle literally makes fuckton of shekels every time there's a Castoria or Koyanskaya banner re-run, to expect the company that has now incredibly big budget to do better is not going to kill anybody. Sure there could executive meddling from time to time, but given how big the game is now, how much risque servants it pops out and money it reels in, I don't think that should be that of an issue. People have the right to be critical of Lasengle, given the fact that compared to the Delightswork days, they are incredibly lackluster with regular things such as animation updates basically they killed off re-runs of events which results in content drought/dead weeks.

Apologies for my autistic sperging I just had to get that out.
 
The game is basically in a sore spot of not knowing where to go at this point. Part 1 and part 2 were the whole plan from the start and now that the world has been saved twice, theres really nowhere else to go. The story itself is more or less admitting its over when you look at the craft essences and interludes coming out and its just getting tiring for the most part. I really think theyre planning to wrap up soon but how theyll do it is up in the air since type moon is really bad at managing a lot of its projects in any kind of a timely manner (tsukihime 2 got namedropped with an unofficial trailer text in like 2001 and its nowhere to be seen to this day) so im expecting it to be a fucking mess.

Not when part 2 never finished, we never got into the confrontation with CHALDEAS. The whole idea of cleaning themselves of using too much extra classes servants before being able to enter our earth again is pretty cool since it is an interlude to the consequences of part 2 and the final confrontation (marisbilly, fuyuki, alien god and so on).

Tsukihime 2 is never intended to happen the way it was after the remake was announced. If we get tsukihime 2 it is going to be a sequel to the remake (and that is after the second half gets released).

FGO being this massive and long doesnt help, other smaller projects too.

Type-moon is a really small studio, they even had to branch out to a smaller one to develop EXTRA Record to not get things mixed up (and they still did it, the design of Cernunnos was done by a Type moon studio bb employer).

Tried to get Theseus with 11 tickets and failed, then gave 30 quartz and got Taigong Wang and no theseus, dropped another 30 and finally got him at np 1 and my fourth copy of nezha.

I really liked this grail front, the battles were fun and lost sometimes due to those unpredicted moves when nezha suddenly appear near the master and killed me because I went full agro. The servants being used to also block the fountains was a cool idea too. My best servants in this grail front were King Hassan, Cu alter, Enkidu, Anastasia Summer and Medusa Saber, the npc characters were also of great help
 
>Wake up (on NA)
>Half the Nobu raids are completed already
Pretty cool
At least I got myself a Saito and Himiko off the gacha

Yeah, I know we don't have the CHALDEAS fight yet, but everything else is basically wrapped up by now. Its annoying that we're going to wait so long for ordeal call to wrap it up, especially when it oddly feels like they're stalling but I can get behind it somewhat.

Tsukihine 2 is just an example with how long it takes these people to get things on the run. We've also got DDD, Mahou Tsukai 2, prisma illyas finale, the fate/extra remake and Tsuki remakes second half. It's honestly a miracle that Samurai/remnant came out as fast as it did after being announced and Type/redline is actually fairly consistent in its updates so they're improving but there's a whole ass purgatory their properties live in.

Also, since you gave an update on JP, I guessing give an update on NA. So far, the yamataikoku rerun is pretty good. The storm nobu got farmed out in 2 hours when it came out in midnight and everything has been cleared. I was low on apples getting in here so the raids didn't do much for me but I got some neat goodies anyway. It wasn't that important since we've been eating good since Nerofest and especially Halloween.

FSR only came as fast because they announced as it was basically finished already, it took 9 months from announcement to publication but in the developer interviews, most of the real work came from koei techmo, since it is a game by them with type-moon as supervision (and they had to bring in people to help it). They started the talks around the end of part 1.5. The game wasnt developed by type-moon itself but other company.

What type-moon does is that they all got to make lots of different stuff at the same time, so there are projects that may be done later. You said something about prisma illya, it always was a monthly manga that had a lots of hiatus. When I started reading they barely finished zwei and it was 2012. The manga started at 2006 and had 7 volumes in 2012. So almost 1 to 2 volumes per year at max. Then Prisma illya happened and FGO, so lots of Additional work to do like supervision, illustration and so on.

Takeuchi for example doesnt color his illustrations for years already, he leaves others in type moon to do it like koyama and shimokoshi, since the amount is incredibly heavy and he is still the ceo and art director of type moon overall. (And he still designs servants and other characters for other stuff like the saber in fate samurai remnant and do the character design for an anime outside type-moon)


They even said that they had trouble getting new writers because the amount of knowledge about the mechanics to work there is so much that they doesn't found lots of people to work on it that already has. (This last event in jp is written by Makoto Sanda who already has lots of experience in type moon by writing the el melloi novels and some fgo events.

Most of the stories/servants are written by 3 people: nasu, sakurai and higashide.
 
Holy shit 2023 is my second luckiest year yet. 11 ssr, got arjuna alter and he is so much better than morgan
 
I caved in and started grand order today, its ok, I dont know why but the presentation makes it feel very 3ds-ish
 
Overall after the stream of the FSR collab:

Raikou Lily: Boring animations, and the 1st/2nd animation are probably the most interesting one, especially with the original Raikou’s NP as her Extra Attack. Third Asc screams Raita tuned to 10; best ascensions to use are the first and second in my opinion. Third ascension is your favorite if you really love the same oni-theme as Ibuki. I would go with using Ushi’s 1st ascension because I am a retard.
And should you use her with BG, double SSkadi + Skadi (+SKuro) + Oberon? The answer is negative. Just use Dantes for an AOE Quick Avenger (despite having no crit buffs) instead lol; her skillset and toolkit was meant for crits and Anti-Earth, yet falls down so badly due to some that serves the same purpose as her do a better job than her.

tl;dr: use dantes lol, roll for mama if you love her

Yui: Nice animation; but supposedly have a good in paper toolkit; but very impractical skillset and NP for a collab Serv. Best way to sync with her is with either GARcher or Shirou; or other servants that has AQB up and an Arts NP. Otherwise, she is janky in my opinion. Probably works best with Shirou or Yamato; but I had not get her yet, but there are better supports than her anyway. But, I have questions for Lazysengle for why they gave a survival skill to a widerange supporter? This is Miyu 2: Electric Boogaloo again.

Iori: The flashiest and KOOLest of them all. He is currently an NPC and has his S2 sealed for now, so we have yet to expect his NP damage, now that it confirms he has an ST Buster NP and potency as a Solo Saber, from his 2 skills as an NPC. Maybe someday testing him fully maxed; 6/6/6 all skills and NP5 to see how much is his potential as a welfare Servant.

Let me know if my analysis is wrong. Aria for P2 when Lazysengle

My hot take about Raikou Lily is that, I wish they let the Samurai/Remnant artist do the art for her. I think his iteration of her empathizes her way better as the angsty mentally unstable teenage girl that she's supposed to be in this version than Raita. Kind of a shame, we didn't get her fully armored form (coping for the costume).

Meanwhile the moment Raita has his hands on her, he gives the most weirdest exaggerated hips, which is weird because even in her concept art done by him for Samurai/Remnant she doesn't have big ass hips as she does in the FGO's version of her NP.

But one neat detail I do like is how her FA mirrors her Berserker's FA.

Aria for P2 when Lazysengle
I am pretty sure were not getting Tamamo Aria because Nasu said something about
how implementing them would be impossible for FGO. But given how he also said Beast servants are impossible to be in Chaldea, only for FGO to give us Tiamat and Nero Draco, I want to believe Nasu is lying so badly.

It's kind of a shame we just got 3 servants out of the collab, because
I really wanted to see Samson and Koga Saburo.

Maybe someday testing him fully maxed; 6/6/6 all skills and NP5 to see how much is his potential as a welfare Servant.
I've been thinking about Iori's kit for a while now, and I'm wondering how he'll weigh up compared to other Sabers. His kit feels very standard - he can generate stars with his skills to compensate for being a QAABB unit; he's got a crit buff and a rainbow buff; 30% self-charge to help with his NP. But as is with most welfares, it feels like he doesn't have the numbers to make him worth using for anyone who's gunning for casual use, especially with how selfish his buffs are.

That said, I'm still debating logging into my JP account and playing an event for the first time in a year so I can grab him, even if I'm still mad about not rolling Takeru with my New Year's pulls.

Take any remarks I make about Saber performance with a grain of salt, my level 100 Okita comes out of the woodwork any time I have to fight a Lancer in the first place so I'm biased.
 
I actually saw some people bitching about the FSN 20th anniversary because a) there remastering Réalta Nua so no sex scenes and b) there where honestly expecting a fate route adaptation by ufotable.
