Man that episode was top hosed up.
Though Sola-Ul got hosed considering she didn't really do anything and got her arm chopped off before dying. Kiritsugu is loving devious.

But yeah boudica is annoying though she's at least got a cute voice. I hate her basic form though, why the gently caress is it just underwear who does that poo poo seriously.

Considering even after getting his magic circuits fried up, Kayneth got a puppet body, went out of his way to renter the HGW and killed a priest to try to prevent any more command seal transfer, he definitely fits the example of how a mage can still be threat even after losing a servant. Masters are in general often killed despite already losing their servants because they can easily reestablish contract with a different servant

Plus Sola also did some hosed up things because she willingly fell in love with Diarmuid. If I remember correctly, she broke Kayneth's legs and forced him to hand his Command Seals over to her and she was seriously debating using all of them to make Diarmuid love her?

EDIT: It has admittedly been years since I watched Fate/Zero so I could be wrong.

I don't think it was ever really explicit (at least within the show itself, maybe there's some official statement somewhere) whether she fell for Diarmuid or his enchantment made her fall for him, but Kayneth's saga more or less highlights that the HGW isn't some kind of honorable duel between masters, no matter how much some masters like to wield the rules against one another.

As a magus, she should've been able to resist the love spot's effects, but she just... didn't try? I'm not sure.

she hated kayneth enough that she wanted any excuse to get out of that relationship, and also fate/zero is bad

I don't know, with how she reacted to losing her hand with the command spells it felt like it was pretty explicit that she was under the enchantment. Unless it was different in the Light Novels.

She willingly let herself to be affected. Though her whole plan was to have enough command seals to force Lancer to love her.

That's pretty good, if you consider that pretty much everyone agrees that the current NA content is F/GO at its worst. The potential for massive growth is definitely there.

I hope that's a good number for now at least, and one likely to grow as more/better story content and more interesting banners like Scathach come out.

aniplex has basically said that they don't expect na fgo to make anywhere near as much money as jp fgo and they're just doing it to make inroads to release other fate stuff officially in the US.

Cool, maybe they'll get the niche market so blown open we can have legit VN translations for the vita games or on steam. Or maybe Extra CCC, since PSP/Vita games seem to port well to PC.

Of course this is all pie in the sky stuff, but it'd be loving nice to see that content officially in the US.

Carnival Phantasm is kind of a lost cause isnt it? Since Tsukihime is even less relevant.

At this point translation of the iOS/Android version seems a lot more likely than Vita, especially since they know that anyone playing FGO must have a smartphone/tablet and play games on it.

I'm just using it as a reference. Considering the news specifically tell you to not miss the chance to "complete these free quests"

http://fate-go.us/news/?category=NEWS&article=%2Fiframe%2F2017%2F0914_freequesap_campaign%2F

It's possible, but as I understand it that JP event was unusual; most half AP free quest events halved it both before and after completion. While they might restrict the NA event to incomplete free quests there'd likely be some backlash since the announcement was unclear, potentially resulting in the best outcome of all: apologems.

I'm more and more convinced that the Duel dailies either have very streaky seed generation when picking the third round servant, or the percentages aren't split evenly, and you get one seed during the whole day, with one class out of them having a higher occurrence bonus. My sample size is obviously not large enough, as it only accounts for my own experience since the game came out, but every single time I've grinded the Duel dailies, one servant will show up vastly more often than the others.

Way back during the first half AP and Gil banner, I was keeping track of how many times Gil was showing up for me one day, and it was a massive 80%+ over several AP bars worth of runs. (When I was low enough Master level to chain them.)

A short while later, near the tail end of the first half AP event I was looking for Saber monuments, and Elisabeth routinely had half a dozen consecutive spawns broken by an occasional single Gilgamesh or single Altria.

Last weekend I got 5 Caster monuments easily because Waver was showing up noticeably more often than the other three.

And over the last day, I've had Marie show up once, Waver show up twice, Kintoki show up once, and every other run has been Carmilla. We're talking over 20 runs accounting for the full AP bar I had saved up for when the daily switched.

I know it's counterintuitive, but this is just how randomness works. On any given day the odds of getting a balanced distribution of results are actually much lower than the odds of getting a distribution that appears biased.

I don't think this is by design. Just potentially a weak seed gen system.

It can just be confirmation bias, but there's definitely been games with streaky seeds in the past. Warframe suffered from this - https://forums.warframe.com/topic/128402-rng-algorithm-bugschanges/ - and the developers eventually spotted the issue and revamped the seed system. Different games of course, so it doesn't necessarily apply.

I'm so knee deep in RIder pieces at the moment I honestly think I could ascend all of the Riders I currently have (Martha, George, Ushi, Medusa, Alexander) if I wanted to. Meanwhile, I was on a roll with the Berserker monuments ( got 5 of them back to back to back) and then when I left the game to let my AP recharge that streak promptly went away next login. Let this be a lesson kids, if you're on a roll never willingly get off the roll.
