Rolled for Quetzalcoatl, I got Enkidu instead... Dam I just learned the hard way not to role when the character I want in rate up is sharing with another one.
Enkidu is good, but I didn't need another lancer.
It feels really bad. I wish I had summoned for First Hassan. I just need an SSR assassin given all my other asssasins are pretty bad.

god the dragon is such a bitch to kill, especially if you only have a mash and mecha eli is the only viable servants for that specific node
edit:
God the end of the year is fucking brutal, with the Thanksgiving banner consisting of Gil, Amakusa, Okita, Da Vinci, MHX, Iskandar, Hijikata, LArtoria; it's also followed by the Ereshkigal banner, and then Salem. Fucking hell, and here I thought the knockout trio of last year comprising Merlin, Musashi, and Gramps was insane.

I am playing through the Agartha singularity now and dear god it’s the most trite and cringeworthy bullshit that I’ve ever read so far, possibly in any video game.

Agartha is the worst FGO ever gets as far as writing goes and not even the climax redeems it.

It seems that way from what I heard about it in JP and also Fergus Lily is probably the single worst Fate character ever because all he does is remind how "I don't wanna hurt women guiz" despite women hurting and killing people right in front of him

I got real bored of argathas story and just skipped through it just so I can get it over with because nothing felt right about it as far as I was reading into it.

Worse than Septem and it's nero shillings? That must be low.
I've yet to start Agartha as I've been busy farming materials.

Funny you mention that, my original post was gonna use Septem as a comparison point to go on a rant but yes, it absolutely is. In hindsight everyone should've seen it coming considering it's written by the Prillya degenerate.

I had finished it and the Prillya degenerates fingerprints were all over it that NA had to tone it down to an extreme degree. As for how it's bad well I will spoiler it for review:
Agartha was both better and worse than I expected so I'll just some of the good things about it first though it will still get negative:
- The Trap Duo (Astolfo and D'Eon) were really fun companions to have as they had some good chemistry together along with the Master, and were probably one of the few reasons to not skip it. Though I can say this is due to the localization team's efforts as I heard in the original that they were used to just tell multiple trap jokes.
- Wu and Penthwere probably the only new characters introduced in Agartha that I liked. Wu was a cunning character who was entertaining and was an interesting character though her design past her first ascension was disgusting. But she seemed to be very accurate to how the Chinese run their government (especially with how Winnie the Pooh runs China today). Penth was actually well written and probably the only character whose male enslavement gimmick makes sense given Penth hates males and she felt the most consistent of the three rulers.
- Columbus was a great companions and was actually a really nice guy who was a very good leader, however his only issue was the "foreshadowing" of how evil he was (AKA Mash/Da Vinci reminding you all the time about how uncomfortable they are around him), and I felt it would've been more of a twist for him to actually be a good person. Regardless, he was a fun character and when he became evil he was ironically entertaining as he was so over the top in how much the Prillya degenerate wanted you to hate him that it became humorous especially with the goofy faces he made. His characterization as a villain felt like the writer just based Columbus off of what hipsters who bitch about Columbus day say about him, though really he wouldn't have been a problem if it was Hernan Cortes instead of Christopher Columbus cause while Columbus is not a saint, he was the most tame of the conquistadors. Cortes on the other hand is known through history to go plunder through another country and they could've taken advantage of the El Dorado setting to have it so that's how he regains his memories given Columbus had regained his memories there in the singularity.
- The last good thing I'll say is that they were some interesting ideas such as a servant not adapting to modern values, Shez's motives about wanting to not die and how being a servant sucks are interesting on paper but were executed properly, and a war between three differing ideologies would've been great if it didn't have the male slavery subplot that was just there for the author to show off his masochism fetish.

- The sexual stuff in this singularity felt tacky and was there to show off the writer's fetishes. The constant sex jokes about Fergus' adult self and all the femdom stuff felt in really poor taste and were really unnecessary. Also, outside of the Amazons, the male enslavement stuff didn't make sense for the other two rulers and it had no connection to the main villain's motivation except some vague allusion to her fearing men which even then makes no sense given she could just have a society without males.
- Mash and Da Vinci were honestly at their worst here. While I enjoy them both as characters, they felt really annoying in Agartha from the fact they literally sent you to a singularity without servants and got mad at the guy who smuggled in Astolfo and D'eon, the million times they had to remind you that Columbus is not good as a way to force foreshadowing that Columbus is bad, and all the comparisons they kept telling Young Fergus that his older self is a pervert despite the fact they have dealt with alternate forms of servants before and they never reminded them of what their other selves are like. Speaking of which, them yelling at Columbus for being evil for slavery is really stupid given they have teamed up with various heroic spirits who owned slaves (i.e. Gilgamesh, Ozymadias, Francis Drakewho Mash admires funny enough, and many more who actually did worse than Columbus) felt very hamfisted.
- Fergus Lily is literally the worst fate character in the series as all of his dialogue consisted of how he doesn't want to hurt women, loves to train, hates his older self, and has very pretentious monologues about how each of the rulers have ruled as though the game wants to make them look sophisticated despite openly torturing men for fun and pleasure. He also does nothing and comes across as really annoying especially given they try to make him look cool but comes across as annoying. It doesn't help his character comes at the cost of bastardizing the original Fergus who I'm not a big fan of, but they treat him like he was only a guy who loved muscles and women even though he had more class than that. His speech at the end of the singularity was really cringey and if it wasn't for the characters I liked, I would've skipped the story.
- The Chaldea servants being corrupted really did nothing for the plot except shock value and were excuses to bring things in. Helena's only purpose in Agartha is to drive home how evil Columbus is and provide a deus ex machina, Drake being in Agartha was because the developer got lazy to design Dahut and used Drake for shock value because Dahut was too generic to do anything on her own, Heracles was there to provide a boss for the sake of a boss and because the Prillya writer only views Heracles as a brute despite having gentle giant qualities, and Fergus Lily was to have some arc about kingship that was executed really poorly.
- The villain reveals were really lazy and had no foreshadowing. The closest Columbus had to being evil was Mash and Da Vinci constantly reminding you how evil he is because of similarities to Moriarty that had to be told to you. This makes his betrayal less shocking and he was evil because a villain was needed to pad out the game as he was only a villain for like one and a half chapters. Scheherazade had no foreshadowing whatsoever except from a process of elimination which felt really cheap and there was literally a chapter of exposition just to explain everything as it made no fucking sense on it's own.
- Speaking of which, Scheherazade's plan is fucking stupid because she wants to create a faction war in an underground city which somehow needs males to be enslaved, and summoning servants for a "Story" just so she could enact her complex plan which is to lift the entirety of Agartha to destroy a city so magic could be destroyed which will destroy the servant summoning system. This is stupid because the summoning system would still be intact even if it is removed in one timeline and her plan isn't even threatening humanity either. It doesn't help that it's been established in the series that the Throne of Heroes exists in other dimensions/timelines so it wouldn't stop Scheherazade from being summoned by some schmuck in an alternate dimension. It's also inconsistent from how worried she was about dying to then basically committing a large scale suicide attack so she wouldn't be summoned again which would backfire.
- There were other minor things as outside of the very grating idiocy that plagues most of Agartha, Agartha is largely boring itself as it feels repetitive and the characters repeat the same phrases that it gets old. The missions themselves are just filler or you just fight the same enemies you had already fought with no real variation for the most part.

tl;dr While Agartha has good ideas with having only five good characters, it's easily the worst singularity for overly sexual tones that are the writer's fetishes, a poorly written story that is boring at best to aggravating at worst, nonsensical villain motivations, stuff being done for the sake of cheap emotional reactions/shock value, Mash and Da Vinci were at their worst, and Fergus Lily.

jesus christ. should've saved up my quarts for hokusai, as her ascension mats don't require stakes.
