also the game gives you a free auto 4 star at the start and the pool available there is - actually ill do a quick post about it

https://lpix.org/sslptest/index.php?id=147842

Here's a list of all the servants you can get from the free 4 star pool at the start and which ones are worth rerolling for. I say this in the guide itself but keep in mind you don't have to do this and that if you like one of the less good starter 4*s more than herc or whoever, just keep the one you like more. This game won't be hard for eight months.

Fuggo really likes having as steady a data connection as possible, though it may be better with NA servers.

everyone up to 59 on this list. (though gilgamesh and kintoki are only available during specific events)

Also note that uh, there are some fairly heavy spoilers toward the top of this list. I wish it was arranged the other way around. I guess it's not too bad without context but it does spoil some stuff.

Anyway goddamn, two weeks. I'm actually hype. I almost certainly won't quit JP just yet but bring it on. I just hope the translation is serviceable.

Is anyone else already committed to making a Games thread, because Fuggo is a big enough deal to probably warrant it.

I think I'm gonna re-roll, not for power (you can pass the entire game with bronze after all), but because I'm a completionist and I want to see as many interludes and stuff as possible. I'll get all the 3-stars and under eventually, but 4 and 5 star servants are a lot rarer, so I'm gonna re-roll until I get at least a second 4-star with my two starting 10-rolls.

I'll reroll until I at least have a 4* from the free quarts. This time I'll also actually LEVEL them during Fuyuki instead of only figuring that out afterwards.

I think Martha did Ok for me, but from the 4* list I hope to get either Emiya or Elizabeth followed by Tamacat. Some people have sworn by FTP teams of Berserkers to get past most of the content until Camelot.

Archer enemies are I think, the most annoying, so a 4* Lancer would help. Assassin enemies are close in annoyance but they tend to be ST and thus can be taunted by Mashu.

If you need a Lancer good ol' 3 star Cu will do for 90% of situations.

I'd probably just roll for Herc or Martha myself. Getting those two at bond 10 is top priority for me.

Tammy Cat, Hercules, EMIYA, and maaaaaaaaybe D'eon are the big hits for the 4*s of note, I think. Martha is great late game thanks to her debuff/buff clears, but she makes wet noodles look like they hit like trucks. Sumanai is Sumanai, and Stheno is Stheno.

people sleep on carmilla but she's legit probably the second best of the starter 4*s. shame about her boring animations.
'liz is kinda eh but 40% attack for all female allies for 3 turns every 5 turns is legit.

I like how there's all this justification in F/SN for why king arthur was a girl and it actually makes sense even if it's kinda dumb but then at some point (Extra? earlier than that?) they just decided genderswapped servants was a thing that happens and stopped caring about why

To a degree it's just to get enough female servants in because of how our mythologies tend to be dominated by male characters. Everything after F/SN has relaxed the requirements to be a servant a lot, including loopholes for gods but there's still some things even FGO avoids even though it'd be easier to get non-genderswapped female servants, like dumping an entire pantheon in.

to be fair i do think the genderswapping leads to some actually female historical/mythological figures getting ignored. like Mulan. Put Mulan in, Nasu.

Yeah, though it's hard to tell sometimes because servants from one mythology, or even the same myth, usually don't get put in the same time. It's not like they put in a cluster of Chinese servants and then left out Mulan. But definitely do need less genderswapped female servants.

I'd honestly be fine with anyone but Sumanai, because I got Sumanai back in those dark days when I first started playing Grand Order.

And, by law, I cannot hate Sumanai. 1) because I think he's underrated, and 2) he finished the Grand Order for me.

You get a starting 10 roll for your free 4* then another one after the prologue is over and it's a regular rear end 10 roll that will set the stage for your many bad rolls to come or godlike luck

The tutorial gacha roll is rigged so you get one of a few specific 4*s. Herc, Emiya, Camilla, Tamamo Cat to name a few. They want you to have a smooth start when you're new to the game. The NA release will also being giving out free 30 quartz for the start so you'll be rolling for a 5* immediately after the tutorial.

As far as anyone knows, the dumb facebook thing has no direct connection to anything in-game; it was just to drum up publicity before release. You just have to sign up within the first few days after the game comes out.
