I got Hokusai. But goddamn did that hurt in the process.
Tamamo NP2, Waver NP5, Waver USO, Drake NP4. 25+ copies of the 5* CE. Should have stopped, did not stop, budget is gone for everything I play until Skadi at the earliest.
At least I also picked up Tomoe Gouzen and Nezha in the process. But ow.
Wound up with Nero Bride from the GSSR. I was gunning for a single-target lancer or archer since those remain pretty big holes in my lineup, but you definitely won't hear me complaining. Took a whack at the new girl as well but came up mostly empty-handed; saving the tickets for one of the later banners. Not feeling that lucky, but after Okita, you never know.
Anyway, c'mon Nero, I'll show you to your quarte-
Oh. Oooh. Uh, yeah, about that. Look, it's gonna be a bit cramped going forward, I'm gonna need you to be a champ about this.
Lostbelt opener was a wild ride, literally. I kept myself free of spoilers, but man was I ready to punch the screen at the end of it.
We could've avoided so much trouble if the army of MGS-looking goons had been just a little quicker at their jobs.
Rolled for Oei and MLB New Beginnings (5* CE). 270 Quarts.
Got MLB (5) New Beginnings.
Got 15 Avalon Celebrats (4* CE)
Got 6 Happiness Is Like A Warm Puppy (3*) CE Got my Second Copy of Saberlot.
Got two copies of Oei!
My rolls for Hokusai went extremely poorly, as is a trend on my NA account lately, but at least the Bad Civilization roll went pretty well. Got Lancer Artoria, and "AOE Lancer" is definitely something I needed. Would have preferred Karna or Ereshkigal, but I'm still totally happy with that result.
Now, even though Im tempted to roll for Hokusai, am waiting for a Da Vinci event rerun to roll for Jalter with 950 SQ and 56 tickets. If it will go well, then I will continue to roll for Moriarty or Gilgamesh, and in the case it will go unrealistically well and I will still have a lot of SQ, I will roll for Hokusai during her last rate-up day.
I got Helena. Because the game is continuing to punish me for complaining about having no Casters. Also my phone autocompleted everything after complaining there, which tells me something.
GSSR Okita + random Vlad III Lancer. Can't complain about that.
Hokusai pulls - 80, I think, total:
NP2 Herc
Fragment of 2030 (first copy)
Kaleidoscope (first copy, after getting 4 of that damn Bodhisattva one)
Prisma Cosmos
New Beginnings
Anne & Mary
A truly atrocious run of 30 pulls which produced 3 copies of Avalon Celebrates and nothing else
Hokusai!
Overall, not much to complain about. Still have 90 pulls left.
Kinda sad it takes so long for the Lostbelts to come out. They dropped this huge Prologue on us, but we're not gonna get Lostbelt 1 till like... March.
At least we're getting more new events compared to the re-runs of last year.
FGO is great, but their timing of story chapters tends to be awful.
I have no clue what goes on behind the scenes, and I assume preparing new chapters and scheduling is complicated.
But it’s a real buzzkill to have a dramatic prologue, get an exciting animated intro to part 2 ... and then find out it’s going to be four months before you can play it.

It could be worse. Magia Record is rushing everything (no breaks, shorter events, and the holiday ones are now doubling up) except the main story. Chapter 7's first quest came out in October and we're still only 2/3 through it.

More games should do this, honestly
Just get caught up to the main server, future sight is a curse

You can speed up without going Korea Mode though

Could be a lot worse.
You could start your game badly offcycle from the JP start with a very harsh powercreep curve, but still pull up future events from JP so that they are correctly seasonal except the banners for those events contained units who are FAR more busted compared to the other units who should be releasing at that point in the game.

In lighter news, I complained so hard about my luck on NA that Hokusai showed up to make it all better. Thanks, handful of quartz from the prologue.
As much as I had been aiming to avoid duplicate 5*s from my JP account, this is one I'm very okay with.

Just hyperspeed until you catch up, and then keep pace with the main server

Type-Moon has said in the past that they wanted to limit NA player's knowledge of future banners, but haven't done much outside of thanksgiving stuff. Getting the lostbelts on a quicker pace could help with that. But dosn't seem to be the plan.
I'm actually totally happy with how the NA server has been going about things. I don't want a quicker pace. That said, I have the two accounts, and I avoid playing more than I need to as it is. A quicker pace on NA would force me to put more time into it, and I really don't want that. I'm also not sure what I'd do if it ever caught up... but I suppose I there's no reason for me to even think about that.

Meanwhile, I legitimately do not want them to speed up at all. Some of us have jobs and things that prevent us from hypergrinding outside of a bit on the weekend and this isn't the only thing we play.
That stretch of back to back content around Rashomon was awful.
More apples don't mean shit when there aren't enough real life hours in the day.

Stamina is no longer a meaningful constraint on me when I have 400+ gold apples.
Avenger Nobu produces so much Otome Hotness that she crossed gender barriers and featured #42 on top hottest characters for the year via female otaku. Of all Fate characters, only Emya and Caster Gilgamesh ranked higher. She beat all the other placing Fate characters. She's, as far as I can tell, the only female character on the list.
Other amusing things:
Yamper at #15. Everyone loves Corgis.
Joker and Snape somehow being on the list, pointing out there's still crazies out there.
Kylo Ren not making the list.

In fairness, the second form of Avenger Nobu is male. That's probably only a small factor as to why they're on there, though.

Avenger Nobu is on my long term radar. On my shorter term radar is Scáthach-Skaði. I'm going to start building up mats and QP for her, it worked for pulling Jalter last time.
(175,057,250 QP needed to get a 5* to 90 and 10/10/10)
With Great/Super chances on boost I decided to make some CE bombs when I found out where my Hokusai luck wandered off to as three of this guy showed up in rapid succession.

Acceptable.
Waiting for the Melt rate-up to take another shot.
Well
It's not awful, but pretty much the second-worse possibility outside of getting a dupe
