That's exactly my point. Just because a given property is doing extremely well for a developer doesn't mean that will lead to them investing the new revenue streams back into other works, even if those other works are what made them popular originally. Why make the next episode of Mahoyo or finish remaking Tsukihime when the resources you'd have to commit to do so could instead be used to make the equivalent of hats for F/GO.

Every single Servant should have a street clothes version.

In fact, in general every character in everything should have a street clothes version and do at least one fight in street clothes because street clothes fights own.

I mean, it depends on how TM is structured right? On how corporate it is? If the decision making ultimately still comes down to Nasu and Takeuchi I think its more reasonable to infer that they might go "Yay, we now have the money to work on completing these stories and give them their due." If it's very auteur driven.

If there's like a company board and stockholders who see their investment making returns primarily from FGO then yeah.

Considering how long it takes for Nasu and/or Takeuchi to do stuff, I'd still say that's way too optimistic.

Okay, to whoever at DW decided that it's okay to make a 900k HP Assassin boss with a three-turn NP counter in an almost entirely Saber-based event: gently caress you with the broad end of something very, very broad.

Yea, the overriding thing with new Type Moon VNs is more a matter of time than anything else. Let's not forget that Mahoyo was in active development for 6-8 years.

That just about sums up this whole event. This whole event is just giant health sponges and/or something that sabers can't deal with before they get killed by NP spam.

But hey at least we got more saberfaces!

What is even the point of making the CEs rewards for points or making the reward ceiling so insanely high? I've maxed out the Saber Lily CE mostly through drops in grinding for tubes and lenses and am one drop away from maxing the MHX one. These dailies are getting more and more annoying to even try to do for what are 10Ap dailies and are nothing like the Honnoji ones which were just free points.

Like, even making JtR the third wave instead of the second would make it somewhat more managable, because you'd at least have time to charge up your NPs for an alpha strike.

That's why you have CEs giving massive buffs tho.

gently caress you I haven't gotten a single drop.

Also point rewards increase a lot as they approach the end. Plus, free materials. They aren't even hard, assuming you had a well-leveled team and kept up with the buff CEs.

I have to have about one of the best damage modifiers you can get in this event with a team that is fully built to handle a ton of enemies and they cannot bring down a 900k JtR in a reasonable time because no one in this event has enough power or a weakness multiplier to actually get more damage on her. The most I can get without critical a is about 40k off an Okita Buster powered up by all busters and the fact that she has three round NP makes that moot as hell because she will kill one of my heavy hitters and then pick off my team from there as the shittier sabers pile in to get cut down.

Literally all I am missing from the higher end damage buffs is MHX

Jack whittled down my team and support and it was down to Lvl 50 Lily and Gilles. I had the London Mystic Code on, so I was able to defeat her by filling Lily's NP gauge two times to get that HP down.

Still, pretty BS though, I agree.

MORT cancels dance: interrupted by MORT
I managed today's assassin boss with a friend Tamamo. Built up Arturia's NP on the flesh golem things, popped it first turn on the boss to clear the Chimeras, kept building NP while using skills to delay the enemy NP. On the turn Jack's NP was going to go off, I used the servant switch master skill to keep Arturia safe. Meanwhile Tamamo got some hits in. The NP hit one of my fodder servants instead, switching Arturia back in right away. From there it was easy to blow away the last 200k HP that was left.

I can switch my main for Jeanne in a moment if you need it, maybe you'll get her. You'd prefer a Star of Artoria or Kaleidoscope?

Also, I've finally managed to savescum my way to beating today's 10 AP. I'm really not looking forward to Monday's...

There's no point now and I'm half-joking. I'm mostly just bored with this event and have tired of it faster than every other event. It doesn't help that it just emphasizes some of the game's worst aspects to me more than others.

I'm hoping the leak will be true and it will be a Madoka collab, but then again the leak was wrong about Galacticalily so it'll probably be something lovely like some other loving gacha game that isn't even based on a popular franchise.

Maybe I lucked out? Had Attila (max bloom and lv 89), lily (lv 70, kaleido), two arturia's star and friend okita with max bloom. Didn't get Photon Ray charged on time so I used her buff, switched her out for Caesar, used all the other buffs (plugsuit buff included) and went Caliburn -> Sandanzuki -> some Buster I forgot, which killed the chimeras and did a nice chunk of damage on Jack. Also used Gandr so she was stunned, then it was just lots of hitting. I think I managed to pull off Sandanzuki a 2nd time. (Ah no Jack killed her at 97%. I managed to use Photon Ray on a Attila brave chain tho) She pulled her NP off twice, once on Lily and then on Attila chained into Okita but at that point she had 11k HP left so Gilles, Fergus and Caesar cleaned up. Not very hard, overall.

Honestly, would have been easy if the RNG hadn't tried its very hardest to gently caress me over. Still managed to get it done without a continue. And by very hardest, I mean poo poo like Jack exclusively targeting the Okita that had just filled her NP bar and every single one of her attacks in that round being a crit, killing said Okita from like 7k health, and later on proceeding to give me 5 cards for my Caster over the course of ~30 cards(5 rounds+a card change).

That card change might've screwed you over because we've tested on BL before and it turns out it will always deal the 15 possible cards in a 3-turn period.
