I did the paid gacha roll on my main and got Karna, I wanted Arturia Lancer but oh well I needed a Lancer. Then I roll it on my alt and get Arjuna, I feel the game did that on purpose.

Did the gauranteed 5* Gacha and got Medb, which is nice as she's now my strongest Single Target NP Rider and she's well, Medb even if her combat capability is kinda meh.

Unless St. Martha, Astolfo, and Mary & Bonne are better in other circumstances?

I'll also wait for the swimsuit event before spending my sudden windfall of quartz. Or Day 9 and try again for Helena.

I know others will say differently but St. Martha has been a huge help to me, her mass attack NP debuffs and her having 3 arts cards means she can recharge it really easily. She's had 2 buffs though and she's definitely a support card, her skill that removes debuffs was really helpful in the last Oni event as well.

Yessss I've been saving for months for swimsuit season! I'm not surprised we're getting Scathach for free, she's the most popular servant. The pirates look a lot less weird now so I think I'll try and roll for them.

Huh I didn't see that the Saint Graph exchange was open, I went in to take a look and you can actually buy Bride Nero there until the event ends! So if you somehow have 10 Saint Graphs you can just buy any limited servants during their event, how neat.

Medea Lily from what I remember is one if not the best healer in the game, she's just great all around.

For Riders Santa Alter is very solid, she has good support skills and her NP is pretty good. Martha is useful for her skills that can heal any debuffs on your party as well as removing any buffs that the enemy casts on themselves, she was my first 4 star so I'm a bit biased there. Both Marie and Astolfo I don't have but Marie has pretty good skills that helps her tank hits, Astolfo would be good but his NP gain is the worst of any rider in the game.

As for Assassins Camilla for sure, Stheno's NP is basically worthless since it can only instant kill male servants, otherwise it's just a debuff.

Bedivere's actually pretty good, but he's crippled by being a Story Gacha only servant so it's really hard to get him to NP5.


Weclome to my life. 12 strengthening quests to go, and about half of them are gated by loving dust or gears. :suicide:

Also the Paid Gacha will be split like so:



No limited servants huh? :sigh: Well I'll pick the second one then, I'm only missing a 5 star Rider.

I'm going for the Rider gacha for sure, it's the only class I don't have a 5 star of and plus I wouldn't mind any of them. Medb might not be good but I love her art, and the other three are really powerful.

Do we know what cards Hassan uses (in terms of Buster/Arts/Quick)? I didn't see it on the page. Since I already have Jack I don't really have any need for another quick Assassin (since I seriously doubt anything is going to be significantly better than her).

From what I remember his cards are AQBBB and his noble phantasm is another Buster.

Agreed. The dialogue with Nero is spot-on and her VA really delivers. Liz doing her idol song as you get closer to her on the battlefield was a cool touch as well.

Extella has been fun so far yeah, and Nero is the best. I noticed that Liz's singing isn't bad at all like Fate GO claims either.

So remember when we all laughed at that ANN review that gave this thread it's title? Its author interviewed the President of Aniplex, the Creative Director of Delightworks, and Kawasumi regarding F/GO at AX and tries to low key play down the stuff she said about UBW and Fate in general when asked if she's a Fate fan. People in the comments aren't letting it go though.

The entire premise of f/z is that gen didn’t have to worry about a happy ending because Nasu already wrote it for him in f/sn! Nasu and Gen are close buds and love each other’s work! This really is a poo poo post!!

The post was talking about the Fate Zero event in Grand Order, Nasu mentioned that Gen wanted to write an even darker story. And Nasu went “What kind of event do you think this is? You should believe in people more, write a happy ending.”

Nasu and Takeuchi's success always makes me feel happy, from going to making niche porn visual novels with good writing to hitting the big time and becoming filthy rich 10 years or so later. It was also really cool to see how much Takeuchi has improved since Tsukihime too.

Plus one of the Tsukihime characters did show up in Fate completely different because of the whole "Dead apostles aren't a thing here" difference.

That character was completely different compared to their Tsukihime counterpart so it probably is just two different universes.

Which are you talking about then? IIRC the only characters from earlier works explicitly namedropped in pre-extra Fate were Zelretch and Touko, both of whom are quite consistent in their portayals across every single Type Moon work, outside of the change in Touko's visual design.

Also Dead Apostles are absolutely a thing in the Fate timeline. All we know is that for *Unexplained Reasons* they're weaker somehow, and that the Dead Apostle Ancestors don't exist. The individuals who made it up do, but some of them aren't as active, and the "organization" itself doesn't exist. They explicitly show up in FGO, El-Melloi case files, and Zero, and I think I remember there being mentions of them in S/N and HA.

I screwed up on the Dead Apostle thing so that's my mistake, I had meant the dead apostle ancestors. I was referring to another Tsukihime character that showed up recently in FGO which turned out to be Sion who's not a vampire in this universe and Zepia was just a normal vampire and not a dead apostle

The worst part of Tsukihime for me is that Akiha and Hisui got hosed when it came to endings, both of them were horribly depressing. So if the remake ever comes out them getting happy endings is all I care about.

Uh HF would be a horrible anime series, it would be like 22 episodes of nothing and then have an explosive finish. Plus you realllly can't show most of Sakura's situation like you can in a movie.

UBW anime was fine imo, the two final fight scenes were a bit weak but still hype to see when it aired. Still my favorite route of the 3 too.
