People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

That was in the thread on release of the character, a year later he has an assload of fanart, people who spent a ton of money on him in his rerun and featured prominently in Shinjuku.

Also, Komatsuzaki's art style is pretty beloved even if it's obvious he has no idea how to design characters.

Where am I supposed to get the items to Ascend Jeanne? She needs so much.. :( I'm assuming these come from the Event quests? Is there a good way to know what drops when?


Totally unrelated question, once I've hit the button to pick my cards and attack, is there any way to back out so I can choose abilities or Master skills or something?

I'm pretty sure being an edgelord is a positive for the Avenger class, not a detriment.

And JAlter tries to be one. She tries so hard.

Yeah, Avenger class can just be called Edgelord and it would still fit every servant in there, it's not an insult, it's an accurate assessment of what that class holds.

Resetting the app will reset you to before clicking the attack option, yes. Any skills you applied though will have stuck.

Dantes is very cool and I love his weird Lovecraftian art because I'm also likely an edgelord :unsmith:

I think she's likely the easiest one to push at the moment. I already see a few /90 on my friend list. As of next Friday a few Vlads might pop up if people (myself included) are lucky with dragon wing drops.

She just needs pieces and later monuments, right? They'll all drop from the daily quests with "Duel" in their names. Tuesdays and Saturdays for the three "Knight" classes, Wednesdays and Sundays for the other four classes.

I think the 30AP version still works out better even for the silver ones because that version has a guaranteed drop at the end? I haven't seen anyone confirm the maths on that one, though.

Of course pretty soon you'll definitely be glad you have the gold ones.

You just have to pray to the RNG gods. Eventually you'll need the gold ones later for her and others, anyway.

Story Servant battles seem to always drop silver pieces too, though not as much (i.e. at all) in the Free Mission versions.

NRVNQSR

Yeah, almost every main quest servant fight up to the end of Septem is guaranteed to drop the silver piece in their class. Drop rates on the free quest fights are much worse, but if you just want one specific class and the other drops from that level are usful to you they might be worth farming? I got acceptable results farming Thiers for Dragon Fangs and Berserker pieces.

If in theory one was to reroll for Gilgamesh chances, will you still get the ridiculous amount of free quartz for a 30 roll at the beginning or was that a launch only opportunity?

I think that continues through the rest of the month, the additional 20 from anime expo ends tomorrow or something.

At first I was turned off by Dantes' art, but then I saw his animations and heard his laughter and started to like him. After realizing he was the dorky kind of edgy and reading some of his story/dialogue, he became one of my favorite husbands to come out of Grand Order.

From what I heard, they're going to expand the localization team for GO. Are they going to address the existing gently caress-ups like Altria and Hapusburg or just roll with it?

Altria is not a fuckup as far as TM and Aniplex is concerned.

As for the rest, probably. I really wish they'd find some way to include the ruby text.

Note that Gilgamesh is one of the most common Limited Rate-Ups so if you think you haven't stockpiled enough you can wait until the next time his gacha rolls around for you to start trying to get him in earnest.

It is the poor romanization from japanese. Since the dev already put out merchandise with that name, they want to perseve it.

So I've got the bond level of my Herc to level 5, and on the Profile page it says things like, "Bond Level 3 - God Hand Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel, etc". Are these new skills/abilities that are available somewhere or just some sort of background story?

Stuff in the profile is just lore/fluff so you know more about the Servant.

The God Hand thing in particular is because that was actually Heracles' active Noble Phantasm back in the original F/SN. He's supposed to be too insane as a Berserker to use a technique like Nine Lives in the first place, so his power was an inability to be hurt by any attack lower than A-rank, and 12 lives with adaptive protection so everytime he revives you can't kill him with the same weapon as a previous death.

Welcome to most mecha anime romanizations. It's how you get verniers suddenly becoming burnern or something pronounced Gallia in the show becoming Gallier.

Japanese clowns with poor romanization skills are clowns nonetheless. I've yet to see Liz's name spelled with an "s" anywhere else, but whatever. I already got the answer I needed, but thanks for your input.

On the marketing point of view, people would rather get the newer, proper name version of the merchandise and let the wrong product rots.

I agree, but what is the proper name now? Everything I've ever seen in released English Fate poo poo, including the recently released Fate/Extella PS4 game, has it as Artoria. It wasn't until Grand Order did Altria become a thing. Why not just look at it like "Sorry. Our Engrish bad. It can now fix," and actually have it work in harmony with everything else? I know this seems like I'm stomping around a molehill like it's a mountain, but it just bugs me.
