The only servants from Apocrypha that aren't in game are Chiron, Achilles, and Semiramis so it will probably be them. Solomon isn't either but I don't see him coming in for the event.

Do you get a noticeable leg up if you reroll for a second 4* in the tutorial roll?

the biggest leg up is getting waver/herc in the first rolls and picking deon with your first roll. You will crush the first year of playing and all events, hell it can even clear most current content.

The absolute best Craft essence to get is kalidiscope it adds 80% to your starting np gauge and is critcal for speed farming exp.

Seriously considering rerolling for Zhuge Liang/Waver. Between him and Heracles I'd easily be able to run roughshod over the game up to Camelot.

Fairly accessible. Most of the characters the other parts of the franchise don't get much focus in the story because they've already had stories told about them, but since the game's based on historical/mythological figures you don't need to know the broad details of Kojirou's role in Fate/Stay Night to get that he was the guy that got owned by Miyamoto Musashi with a boat oar. And the story isn't really connected to the other Fate stuff. If you can remember the basic premise of Fate/Extra (wizards summon historical/mythological figures to fight over the holy grail) and take out all the computer stuff, you've got it. The characters who are wholly original to the Fate series won't make much sense (The Emiyas, Illyasviel, The cast of the CCC event) but there's like 10 of those total and half of them won't get added for two years, and characters like that only ever get focus in events, not in the main story.

I only know of Fate through the couple of anime that are on Netflix but I like those okay enough to check this out. Can I easily play the same account across multiple devices or should I plan to commit to one?

The JPN version generates one-time use bind codes for account transferral across devices, so playing across multiple on a regular basis would be a hassle. Dunno about the US version but I don't think it'll be that different.

It is actually interesting to note how almost all of the best support servants in the game are guys. Hans, Zhuge, Merlin...

It's kinda reflective of the VNs in a way, too; Nasu mentioned in an interview once that he often ends up writing relationship dynamics involving a more physically powerful female character being supported by a more emotionally resilient male character, although it's something he's tried to vary a bit.

Skimming through the thread, I assume we get

1) 1 ten roll with a guarantee *4 star selected from 10 characters
2) another 4* star from the same 10 characters
3) free waifu
4) gacha currency and other bonus stuff?

And if you get a roll that you don't want, you can give a code that allows someone else to play with it? Interesting.

It's spawned a bunch of inferior copycats but it's a dynamic that feels uniquely Nasu's style and I like it a lot. :)

Related, one thing I also felt was very "Type-Moon" in terms of art style is "Casually conservatively dressed heroines": Shiki, Saber, Arcuid, kinda sooorta Tohsoka, her red shirt covers a decent amount compared to a lot of anime today. It's something I *like* and find refreshing from TM and why some of the FGO Servant designs are just blergh and are disappointing, they abandon what I considered to be TM's signature 'style'.

e: One thing I look forward to with NA FGO is that because I can finally fully read and understand the game, plus my existing experiences, I should be able to be waaaay more effective even with 3*'s+Welfare 4*'s then I ever could with JP FGO.

e2: Do we have a steamgroup? Do we want one? Would we just join whichever one Reddit comes up with or are they sufficiently cancer that we don't want to do that?

Yeah as Takeuchi's style evolved and improved, the female characters looked very appealing without having to cater to anyone's preferences and they dressed and are drawn with consideration to how clothes work most of the time. Shiki has my favorite design because it's so striking without having to resort to fanservice which is a problem in FGO and in other anime related media.

Shiki also apparently wears a really expensive tailored kimono for her to be able to fight the way she does in it, which is a nice detail.

I went ahead and made a Discord for people to use. Reddit is a handy source for info, but it's also full of cancerous MRAs and people who like girls that are more than just a little too young. I figure a goonchat will be much better at providing relevant information without needing to sort through the junk.

There might be a Saber Astolfo eventually. He is one of Charlemagne's Knights after all.

Roll Waver and the rest of your team literally doesn't matter. Waver-Mashu results at level 10 being able to almost always having their defence buffs up; so you can slot in almost anyone else to get through content.
