    Pffft, who cares about Herc?

    Drake is cool though.

    Drake animation update sounds cool, though I already liked her original ones so I don't mind them improving. Heracles comes out once in a blue moon for challenges but he's long overdue for one considering how clunky he moves.

    This has one of the few new 3 star Servants I'm actually interested in. Even if he's just a worse version of Drake. So, will he be on included in the event banner, or just shows up in the regular Story banner after you finish the Singularlity, or what?

    And the Rare Prism to Fou exchange rate seems horrible, right? Guessing you just ignore that unless you're a whale.

    He won't be featured on either of the Agartha banners, but he'll be featured on the Anniversary banner's Agartha day. And on the story banner, but obviously that's not worth rolling.

    Yes, it's incredibly stupid.

    Fuck that Servant, he's worse than Blackbeard and that's saying something

    Other than Agartha's awful story, the SSR is widely considered one of the worst period in the game for a very long time.

    The SR is pretty okay though. She's an assassin damage/quick support hybrid (meaning safe to use vs Riders unlike casters) that, much later, gets a huge damage boost and the rare and great buff removal on her NP. The bad news is that interlude that gives her buff removal literally just happened in JP, so it's a long way off for us.

    She's also permanent and will be on other banners.

    So yeah, none of the new servants are exciting. The SSR is bad (for ages). And the 3 Star makes lots of people angry with his existence.

    You know how Fionn became a bit of an infamous spook during the Scathach gacha (or was it Brynhildr?), and Stheno in every single Assassin gacha?

    Yeah, the next Merlin Pickup Gacha after Agartha was rough.


    At least she eventually gets buffed to the point where from what I understand she's actually good now in JP, but it was a long time coming.

    I still would not really call her great in her current state

    She just has niche use now instead of no use

    At least Fionn's Strengthenings make him great when skilled. But man was he not good for a while.

    Stheno on the other hand, yeah, really only on Divine teams where her 40% Charisma can shine.

    800M damage and gave up on clearing the shop. I'm not going to miss this one. Also, I'm determined not to let the anti-hype for Agartha get to me.

    Did you get all of the Rider Kintoki copies/ascension items? This is the last opportunity to get them, as far as we know.

    Yep.

    Missed out on a pile of currency because I didn't realize there was only one go at the good raid. Don't think that would closed the gap that much, but would have helped a bit. The three-currency model was pretty brutal for the bonus CEs since they're harder to stack than the last couple events.

    Oh well. Still have plenty of stuff that'll help when I find a servant who needs it.

    Red Oni's down, now, so grab your summon ticket while you still can. The event ends in threeish hours, which is also when Agartha maintenance begins.

    ...I think that's right, anyway? The event is definitely ending real soon, but I might have gotten mixed up on the singularity start. Looks like that's midnight PDT, so a while yet. (Is that assuming that maintenance is over by then? I dunno.)

  • Options

    Yeah. Event ends in slightly less than 2 hours now.

    Maintenance starts at 9 PDT, should be over by midnight.

    Then comes the battle of will; to see if I can resist rolling for Berserker of El Dorado

    Well, infamous Agartha is here.

    Also, we will get 30 SQ June 25th because of second anniversary. There is no info so far when will the full Anniversary Campaign begin.

  • Options

    The full Anniversary will almost certainly begin after the Anime Expo panel, as it did last year

    AX is from July 4-7, but I don't know what day the FGO panel is

    Apparently we do not have to wait for a patch like JP did in order for Drake to retain her marvelous skill line.
    I continue to be sad that I don't have her.

    What's this great skill line? And why is Agartha infamous?

    What's this great skill line? And why is Agartha infamous?

    It's just the way she yells "HOUGEKI YOI", which she also did in Extra. They initially removed that line during this animation update in JP, but then added it back later because people wanted it.

    Agartha's got a bunch of problems, but the biggest one is probably the gender-related issues in it. I'm a little worried about how they'll handle some stuff in the english version, but I haven't gotten very far through it yet. It's also got a handful of especially annoying battles, and the servants themselves just aren't very well-liked outside of Berserker.

    Together with Septem it is considered the absolutely worst chapters of FGO, with London being a distant third choice.

    Decided to do some pulls just because. One 10 and five tickets. Got more Kaleidoscope and Limited/Zero out of it so that's nice

    Up to I think Chapter 4 in Agartha and it seems fine so far. The Worst Servant has shown up though and he's drawn hilariously ugly

    To the point that IIRC they still haven't revealed the authors for the Epic of Remnant chapters, although I think people figured out from the F/GO Materials that it's probably Hazuki Minase? According to the Mats he's responsible for the "setting creation" of all the Agartha Servants, while Higashide's got all the Shinjuku characters. So it's probably him, yeah.

    Dude's probably most famous for his work in scriptwriting for the extremely skeevy Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya anime, so it doesn't come as a big surprise that the skeevy fetish-heavy Agartha came from him. His previous work for F/GO was the Prisma Illya event, and if you remember that you'll remember that it was also pretty skeevy!

    Decided to do a ten roll because I had a stressful day

    Jinako's smug NEET face showed up to taunt me

    Twice

    But then Wu showed up, so it's cool

    Really would have preferred Berserker but hey, that's what the four star ticket is for

    We should get it presumably in September, during our next Downloads Campaign.

    If I will manage to get at leat one copy of Saber Alter during next Merlin banner, I will propably use this ticket for another copy of her, considering that she is limited and difficult to obtain otherwise.

    This is an unedited screenshot from the actual game

    wtf

    I know some of the art was a bit different but it was kind of ok until this

    (also noooooo drake :( )

    With notably rare exceptions I don't think it's as bad as it was made out to be... so far, anyways. There's no RGB ending choice, right?

    Agartha is bad because it's fetishistic and horny to an uncomfortable degree
