I can't decide if i want Rider or Berserker gacha

IT'S SHOWTIME!

I'm going for the Rider gacha for sure, it's the only class I don't have a 5 star of and plus I wouldn't mind any of them. Medb might not be good but I love her art, and the other three are really powerful.

Vlad+Tamamo+Waver is great and a lot of fun. It's also quite easy to drop his NP 2 turns in a row under Fox Wedding and Waver buffs, which hits pretty hard (and generates a ton of stars).
If you prefer offense over defense, swapping Waver out for another Arts attacker (Nero Bride is probably the best choice, but Surfer Mordred is my personal go-to since I haven't got the former) to kill stuff a lot quicker, and you'll have someone that's not a caster to be using those stars that Vlad generates with his NP.

You either get a choice of three stupidly powerful Riders or one that is at least a fun character who you can use in certain team builds to make male servants impossibly powerful which works in my favor since most of my higher end servants are dudes or a Clay person that I think counts as male.

I just need someone who is overall useful in an arts team and can deal well with lancers, since Arturia Archer is and forever will be my main damage dealer. Saber Lancelot somewhat works, but I'd rather have Vlad or Nightingale, who would get to do more than just be a random plugsuit target

I mean, Nightingale obviously needs someone Buster heavy to be really good, but I also have Ruler Martha and she's my favourite servant so far (also Shiki, but good luck getting her again), so that kinda works in my favour

There's some beauty in shooting people in the face with water-gun excalibur every loving turn. Her NP gain is so loving broken, its amazing. And it does great damage too

My only issue with Emiya Alter is that personality wise isn't that basically indistinguishable from UBW Emiya? Based on Saber Alter's cynicism.

Alter is not necessarily just a more cynical version of that character/an evil version. It is an alteration of said characters ideals and personality towards negative aspects.

Saber becomes a cold warrior with no real respect for others and is a tyrant as Lancer, but she still remains herself to some extent hence her basically becoming the Black Knight and her lingering affection for Shiro.

Cu who is normally a respectful knight that fights with insane finesse and is very jovial turns into a cold-blooded murderer who never smiles and fights like bulldozer with a million spikes jutting out of it however even he is able to respect Medb to some extent as cruel as his comment on her sacrifice is.

Jeanne Alter is probably the starkest contrast and maintains no facets of the original because she is wholecloth a creation of Gilles image of what he feels Jeanne should be. So she is a hateful holy woman who kills people in the very same way she was as her revenge on those who burned her. This is also why she is Avenger unlike the other Alters.

Heracles Alter is literally just evil Heracles because he stayed Berserker class and Berserker Heracles is back when the class had like just him and it took multiple medias before a Berserker that actually talked showed up. It's also worth noting that every Alter was created by someone else. Artoria and Herc by Sakura, Cu by Mebd, and Jeanne by Gilles. So Emiya Alter can literally be anything, I doubt he's just gonna be another cynical Shiro.

Man the OVA's got a pace like lightning. They might actually hit Orleans by the second hour at this rate.



Also we now have confirmation that the white haired dude in the back of Tristan's final ascension is Galahad.

EDIT: Ooooor they could just fill up everything past the OVA with ads, okay.

The OVA was alright. As exposition heavy as expected, but Cu was cool. Also adult Medusa Lancer and Rider Darius out of nowhere.

Also some Gudaguda.
If you're curious, Gudako cameoed as one of the other Masters who gets killed early on.

EDIT 2: Heyoooo, the Fate Extra anime trailer pretty clearly showed female Hakuno.

EDIT 3: The nonpaid New Years gacha will feature a genderbent Musashi.



If I'm reading this right, after 1/2 they'll be rotating out (?) gachas with limited Servants. We'll be rolling for Gilgamesh, Void Shiki, Iskander, Ilya, Kintoki, and Scathach.

EDIT 4:



They've started writing Part 2 now, and until it comes out we'll be getting four episodes of Part 1.5, "Epic of Remnant".

EDIT 5: Apocrypha is also getting an anime, holy poo poo.

I'm glad they managed to squish Riyo's Gudako in there, if only just for a bit.

This is the trailer for Epic of Remnant.

The four episodes are called (roughly)

1: Shinjuku Ghost Incident (keywords from /fgog/: Criminal gentleman, Ghost, Majin Alliance, The lazy man who can change into anything, demonic bullet, human female emperor, seigi no mikata)
2: Lady of Agartha (female warriors roar, smell of sakura, golden rainforest, imaginary city, the hero gone berserk, the sky without space, huge hole under the ground)
3: Showdown of Seven Master Swordsmen Heroic Spirits (duel of seven swords man heroic spirit, 5 falling stars, Swordsman with the heaven's eye, the ability to kill all, something about unlimited)
4: Heretical Salem (1692, witch hunt, judgement of witches, something about 7 people being hanged)
