Games Fate/Grand Order

This event is so weird...

I'm certainly not opposed to them trying new things with their events but this is a weird one.

Dind´t really liked it. The plot is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too heavy with exposition, and not even sherlock´s presence was able to save it for me. Skip and give me 10 saint quartz thank you

 

[Jammin]

I don't dislike it really but at the level of degeneracy I'm at now as I'm reading the story part of my brain is just trying to figure out how to farm this. It just can't understand that is not possible.

I've been devoting this lull in the FGO events to completing Lostbelt 1. Just finished and I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum from you on this one @SirSamuel016. I really didn't like it.

Spoiler

Musashi saved it at least a little since her part was so great. But that was such a small part of it. And the rest was so slow and exposition heavy. I may have even liked Agartha better honestly.

Musashi was terrific though.

 

[Rikudou King]

Did one last (10) roll for Okita, got double! Pretty sure that's all my luck for June... Hopefully I still got a little left of Okita Alter...

That's a surprise Jammin, I would've thought might've liked it haha. I appreciate it for the tone shift away from us being easily in the moral right to a far more questionable position but I can see why people mightn't be keen on Lostbelt 1. Here's to Skadibelt 2 being better for you!

Yeah, hopefully. I feel like my issues weren't the broader story direction but with where this particular story focused and how long it took to do it.

Spoiler

The ending was solid enough, with the Saliari parts. But it was such a long way to get there and the sort of blank winter setting wasn't really to my taste I guess. I'm not sure why Goredorf is even in the story either. He's a comic relief character that isn't funny at all. And that Paxci character arc was a little iffy too, I think, even if the resolution was good.

What I would have liked much more is 500% more Musashi. That was the highlight for me and it only lasted like 3 out of 22 chapters.

I get that 100% and agree with you in some areas. Here's my take on it those things:
- Goredolf can seem like a loose end but he was very much a pawn in the game of chess that set up the Lostbelts in him purchasing Chaldea. He's important in that sense because he's the owner and like him or hate him you don't want to have another commander kick the bucket after Olga Maria and then O.G Da Vinci if you get my drift. You're the moral good of humanity and represent that good, and while Goredolf is a shitstain he adds contrast to your shining light, adding definition to why your fight is correct, just as these failed existences you go up against in that sense.
- Patxi is certainly something, was iffy in places but I feel like the resolution worked especially given how he was shaped by the world. He had reason to hate us, multiple really, but in the end he still spurred us on to fight and we need to see it through to the end.
- You can't have too much Musashi or you'll become dull to her. As the big Musashi boi here of course I want more, but I like to look at her like an incredibly fine whisky, you want to savour it in smaller amounts or it will dull your pallete if you rely on it too much for your kick. Musashi played her part effectively in saving the Master and then splitting Ivan's mammoth trunk etc. up, giving us the chance we needed. Absence makes the heart grow fonder so be patient my friend

I figured Jammin wouldn't like it tbh Personally I thought Anastasia was a good story, but I agree with him that it took way too long to get there. The sorta problem a lot of these stories have. Like, we don't need 10 scenes to show that yes, the Yaga think differently, and that yes, that their way of life is WRONG but THEY JUST WANT TO LIVE and that's INHERENTLY BEAUTIFUL AND TRAGIC and JESUS IS IT OKAY TO DENY THEIR WORLD? On the other hand they had good pieces with Salieri, and Kadoc + Anastasia, Ivan and Kirei, and even Avicebron was actually a pretty nice char.

Atalanta Alter got mostly ignored and reduced to her kid issues again (unlike Avicebron, who had actual character development), and can't say I quite care or cared about Beowulf and Billy...

But besides those few it did a lot of things right. It just took waaaaay too long to get there bc it kept hammering home the same stuff. And then, after what feels like forever, the showdown is over in a flash. I know they had a lot of exposition and explanations to do too, but reduce the amount of story by 2 or 3 hours and it would've worked a lot better.
Overall 7.5 from my side I'd say, was hoping for a bit more but not that strongly disappointed either.

 

[Jammin]

Yeah, at 12 chapters I probably would rate it a lot higher. And I forgot Avicebron who had some nice Apcrypha payoff.

As it stands though, I'm afraid it's like a 5 for me.

 

[SirSamuel016]

Looks like my luck has returned for now, Summer Tamamo from 4 tickets but no Summer Mordred from the 5 tickets I rolled

 

[Rikudou King]

Manage to get both Kiyohime and Mordred... Unfortunately will have to wait to level them up, since currently in the middle of leveling Nezha and Achilles up.

 

[Nii]

One 10 summon gave me Circe and another Summer Kyohime. 3 more tickets gave me Tama Lancer, the last Summer Servant I was missing. All's good with the world

And Guda Guda 3 is almost upon us, Okita Alter's near :3 better prepare for the worst, just in case

 

[Kato756]

Still better than the camelot filler of HEY LET US PROVE OURSELFES TO THE ASSASSINS FOR THE 100TH TIME

Also FINAAAAAAAAAAALLY

I'm officially announcing the Summer 1 banner as my absolute and true nemesis.

2018 Summer 1 banner be like:

Summer 1 still gives me nightmares up to this day. There is not much which can top getting spooked by Orion while rolling for Artoria Archer.

2019 Summer 1 banner was successfully skipped by me.

2020 Summer 1 banner be like: Rate Up for Tamamo, Anne Bonney & Mary Read, Mordred, Kiyohime
syx: please give me anyone of those rate ups except for Anne Bonney & Mary Read
2020 Summer 1 banner after 10 tickets: here have a silver Rider card
syx: but... I want a golden Rider card...
2020 Summer 1 banner: okay, I'll make it gold for you =)
syx:

Spoiler

syx: but... I want a golden card of the rate up servants... =(
2020 Summer 1 banner: ups... my fault... I will make up for it, please enter some tickets.
syx: Arigatou gozaimasu! *uses another 10 tickets*
2020 Summer 1 banner: here, have a golden card of the rate up servants!

Spoiler

2020 Summer 1 banner: trollololololo



I will never pull on this banner ever again.

 

[SirSamuel016]

FGO and saving SQ, two things that just can't go together for me

Rolled a pack on stream and got some good stuff in the first two multis. I won't spoil it if you want to watch it here, but all I can say is spooks or not I'm happy with how it went

 

[Kato756]

Yo @Jammin look at this new alter servant

Spoiler: New JP Alter Servant

Wassup homies its "I will decapitate you" Marie! Tho I guess it´d be more acurate to call this her real form and her other form her "alter" by our world history

 

[Jammin]

Looks like a Liz/Carmilla situation. I'm a fan. Though I'll be curious to see what they do with her personality-wise that's what really makes or breaks an alter.

From a few translations that I´ve read (but they are very early so they could be wrong) she wants vengeance on the world because of what was done to her and her son (no mention to her husband, and FINALLY ONE OF THOSE DW, LOOKING AT YOU BOUDICA), and according to the translator is a "Your Son Calls me Mommy too" type of character. Whatever the fuck that means

 

[Asako]

Sooo I replayed fgo, and it seems the game calling me to join you guys considering it gave me an SSR with those 30 gems, it was arjuna btw (there also caster gil and tamamo cat in the account)
The fact that an SSR came so fast made me consider rerolling as it's rather easy right now (30 gems) but I'm also super lazy so I avoid that

I guess I'm starting my account with swag
Welp time to go for summer BB I hope I have enough time to save for her
Btw how do we get mana prism fast, I need to get 20 before the ticket in the shop expires


I blame @SnuggleCupcake for making me talk about FGO and reminding me of my interest in it
I guess I'm entering hell
(The good thing for my sanity or bad thing for playing I don't have space for an other gacha on my phone other than magireco, so that means I'm emulating FGO right now on my pc )

You can play with me! We can slog through all the early game together~
