I'm not a fan of Aerith, but it's definitely a lot better than Altria.

This. That said, I don't mind "Artoria Caster" because story stuff "Caster" is effectively her surname.

jk the videos I've watched have me wanting to play it. The gameplay looks fun.

Also apparently now you can "plan ahead" and get your meta servants with very minimal investment?
I love the game, but it's also the only gacha game I've played. If you have ANY inkling of a gambling issue, be smart and don't start. I put $15 into the game twice a year and have a really good account, but it's taken a fuckton of discipline not to throw currency at every banner featuring someone I like.

Honestly, the rates on the gacha are so bad, and buying roll currency is so expensive, that it's never been tempting for me to buy. The silver lining is that a lot of the f2p units are still REALLY good, and I regularly use them even though I have a ton of the limited meta units.

Like I said before, though: The early game is largely middling to bad. The tutorial level is strong, the first chapter is imo pretty decent in story (especially with you being a Fate/Zero fan) but a slog in gameplay, and then it takes until chapter 5 to be decent again. It doesn't truly shine until chapter 6.

We generally know what's coming in terms of upcoming events/units because we're 2 years behind JP and seemingly always will be, but they'll also throw curveballs with NA-only campaigns too. However, we never miss anything JP got, we just occasionally get additional things.

I love FGO and the Babylonia anime, but I agree that the anime isn't going to hit the same unless you're rooted in the source game, plus a lot of the animation is jank as fuck lol.

That said, even beyond the horrible gacha, FGO has the FF14 problem of the Good Shit (TM) being buried under an underwhelming - and sometimes outright terrible - early game. They seriously need to remake the first chapters with their current level of polish.

There's fundamentally no way in a just society to execute someone without using way more resources than alternatives. It's always the worse option.

Your poll also needs to stipulate 0% doubt AND 0% chance of rehabilitation to make your argument complete.
Exactly this. I'm actually a supporter of the death penalty in concept, but there's no way to justly implement it.

Damn. I was deliberately saving my 5-star ticket until after my Oberon rolls in case I got spooked, but I never would have done so if someone hadn't alerted me to the idea beforehand.

As an upside, A) Altera gets good next year and B) NP2 on an AoE DPS is often necessary for them to excel. I know it was just for collection, but now you have a good alternative Seiba farmer!

And you also have Oberon, which, pretty big get for gameplay.

Mike was a damn good dude.

God. Poor Castoria. When she had no "spring memories" I felt physically nauseous.

I came to love all of the Tam Lin, though as you said, Baobhan was weaker than the rest. We needed to see the kindness underneath the wickedness Morgan (and later, Beryl) taught her. Barghest deserved so much better - she was the only true knight in that entire cursed land.

I feel like it's 99% confirmed that MC is Oberon's Titania. I'm so glad I saved for that cheeky fucker. He's going to be pissed I grab him, and I don't care.

It's fitting. Dude was all about having a glorious finale on the final stage.

This is one of the best chapters of any game I've played, and it rivals some of the best stuff I've read. It's not up there with classic literature or anything, but god damn, I could not put it down until the very end.

Finally got my target on a GSSR with the Queen herself (though I wouldn't have minded Crane or Kagekiyo either). Would've loved to snag Barghest as my 4-star since Summer Illya is very "meh," but I'll take it.

I didn't pay attention to how many rolls it took for me to get fakefox since I used a bunch of tickets, I want to say I got her in 8 multis between the tix and SQ? I've got enough for Oberon pity too, should it come to it.

Only early-2024 Servant I really want is Bazett, so I have a bit more leeway to spend on people I like throughout the rest of the year. Now I just need to figure out who to use my 5-star ticket on.

Fakefox TONIGHT. Well tomorrow, really.

No mighty chains or blue apples yet, unfortunately. I didn't expect the latter, but I hoped we'd get the former as well as the Quick update so pressing green cards doesn't feel as bad.

We're getting 66 more SQ than JP got for their social media campaign (126 total).

Other than that, nothing of note besides what JP got. Still, pretty hype! Which GSSR are you guys rolling?

Eh, I'm not sure. She needed to go, but the awful regime she instituted was, demonstrably, the only reason the faeries survived for that long. Faeries never learn. Look at how the Fangs acted the moment Woodwose wasn't there to hold them back from their savagery - that was always going to happen.

She made a lot of errors, was a ruthless tyrant, and was an unabashed enemy. She had completely lost herself to cynicism and disgust after being betrayed, hated, and despised for millennia. She wasn't wrong.

I haven't bought it yet, but I've heard there's sexual violence that happens to your female party members? I can't find a source for it aside from some people I know (it's hearsay for them) so I'm hoping if someone can confirm - for various reasons that stuff makes me queasy nowadays.

Not sure if I'll get the game if it's true so I'd appreciate the heads-up.
