I felt that Orleans was the much better story; it retread Shirou vs. Archer but I feel like that helps ground it and makes it familiar.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
Orleans was better because a.) Jeanne is cool, actually and it also has such good characters as everyone you get except Sieg maybe and also all the baddies are cool. smh if you didn't think d'Eon and Martha getting feisty and rebellious was more interesting then the chronicles of umu; nero is the emperor, run around with her to discover the plot 200 ap later

If you must blink, do it now.
The tickets have been unkind to me and I probably won't be able to hit 30 quartz before the event ends, so there go my chances I guess.

I've probably been too loose with tickets, but they got me another 4* and my only 5* while keeping ahold of my quartz stock so that's something.

hello
This level 90 Gawain fight is annoying. I only have Euryale at level 40 because that was enough to get me through Camelot and I was saving my Archer pieces and monuments for the Ishtar I never got. I have a very low opinion on Atalante even if I have her at level 80. My Berserkers are Tamamo Cat and Ibaraki, but they are only ascended to level 3. I can't kill his NP spamming rear end fast enough.

Had to take it back to Jeanne + Support Jeanne with new and improved non-stunning, debuff clearing NP. I'm glad I don't have Jeanne on my NA account so I can play through the game with different strategies, but it's nice that she's still around to save me in JP.

I'm okay with spending for quartz because I realized the other day I've been a TM fan for over ten years without ever giving them a dime. I owe them for Tsukihime, F/SN, F/Z, Extra, Kara no Kyoukai and the UBW anime.

Doesn't make getting spooked any less painful though.

I spent 35$ so far and have nothing to show for it (well ok.... 4 maxed out 5* CEs....) but JAlter will not get that high of an investment out of me :D

I appreciate you helping the game do well in the west, however! Good luck for JA

Accounts with a paper-trail are easier to restore/prove ownership of than generic accounts with a code and no passkey.

Avoids losing everything.

Just as planned!
I just got my hands on a new iPad pro. Are there any major problems if I generate a code for my account every now and then (to use on the go on my phone and then to play on the pad at home/free time), or is that one of the no-no's for this company?

Try restarting the device you are playing it on. If you were in the middle of a battle, you will continue from where you left off.

It should be fine. It's not against the rules to use transfer codes a lot, just a bit inconvenient.

Grimey Drawer
Speaking of Riyo comic, the book version (I think) while not explicitly saying their names, has descriptions on the 3 Riyo-original servants that completely gives it away.




(rough translation, spoilers I guess?)

Rider
His/her true name's a secret, but is a movie director from the dawn of film history. An all-rounder who did everything from cinematography to VFX by themselves. It's thought that all films that came after were influenced by them.

Assassin
Her true name's a secret, but was the first director of the FBI. Grasped the weaknesses of others for self-protection and casually threatened them. Is summoned as a woman here, but enjoys crossdressing.

Berserker
His/her true name's a secret, but is a giant American lumberjack. Because the fuel efficiency of his/her large body is poor, is a little bit of a glutton.

So in other words

Rider is George Melies.
Assassin is J Edgar Hoover.
Berserker is Paul Bunyan.


I wonder what the chances are that they're ever added to the game proper?

So either they simply forgot to put it up on day 1, it was always meant to go up on day 2, or somehow today is the final day of Nerofest?? I almost hosed it up by picking a Lancelot/Kaleidoscope who wasn't actually on my friends list and thus I couldn't use his NP, but I managed to pull through with probably one turn to spare as I had no more backups and Nero's AOE NP would've probably smoked everyone but Cu.

It might not be too bad to grind on it if you get two AOE NPs, though I might save say Lancelot's NP for the second wave because of Gilgamesh.
