    Speaking of rare rate ups.... This is Merlin's only rate up until Summer 2021.

    His third and last rate-up so far isn't for two more years. So if you really want him and don't have him...

    NO PRESSURE!

    I forgot to post this one because I was so salty.

    Waited for Bride rate-up

    Figured it was the best chance to break the Nero curse

    Rolled once

    Three lines...Servant...

    Saber...

    ...Gold...!

    ...*headdesk*

    1293 SQ vs Nero rate-ups no Umu

    Welp, a budget try for Merlin. 150SQ only here

    Roll 1: Salter, 4* CE, Lalter, 4* CE
    Roll 2: 4* CE, 4* CE
    Roll 3: 4* CE, 4* CE, Limited/Zero Over, 4* CE
    Roll 4: 4* CE, 4* CE
    Roll 5: 4* CE, 4* CE, 4* CE

    ...well. Could be worse...I guess...

    According to my calculations, I should have something like 540 SQ and 10-15 tickets ready for Shimosa, so I will be able to try to get Musashi and Archer Inferno. I think I will ignore banner for a few days and wait for Inferno solo banner, as an assassin girl that will also be released by then does not really interest me.

    Considering that I've got Salter NP2 without much hassle, now I wonder on whom should I use my 4* Servant ticket. I don't think it's really that useful to use it to get her to NP3, right?

    I also don't think I need any other Servants gameplay-wise, so I guess I will just summon someone I would just like to have in my Chaldea. Maybe Rama, because he was a bro during America singularity, or Carmilla, because she is supposed to get her animation update soon.

    What's the ETA for Shimosa, anyway? Next month?

    If nothing changes in comparison to how it went down in JP, on September 19th Halloween rerun should begin, it will run for 2 weeks, and Shimosa should start 3-4 days after it ends, so I guess we will get Shimosa in a first days of October.

    Shimosa, as well as the Parvati banner, should both be in about two to three weeks depending on how they space it, yeah.

    I really hope we get the 'FGO The Stage' banner with the Halloween Rerun like JP got. I really want another shot to roll for Saberlot & Tristan.

    When did JP implement the "you can burn rerun welfares for gold prisms" thing? Was that next year?

    That started for the Christmas rerun last year, so for us that would be Christmas next year. And they quickly started adding more uses for rare prisms after that.

    Note that you just get the prisms when you get the extra copies of the servants. You can't hold on to previous duplicate welfares to burn them for prisms.

    I think I might run out of materials before I do embers. I've had to delay a couple Ascensions because they wanted dragon fangs or bones.

    Got BB up to 90 now as my premiere Avenger boss killer. Also leveled and Ascended everyone with an Interlude to the needed level, though some still need Bond to unlock. Now I guess I'll see how many Rank-Up quests I can unlock.

    I desperately want them to do a cool montage when Mash and Fujimura are telling Gilgamesh about all the jobs they did and he's getting increasingly frustrated. I wouldn't complain if we got a filler episode about that subterranean city or whatever it was.

    It's also going to be pretty interesting to see the reactions of the anime-onlys when the series takes its big turn into Tiamat town. That's probably going to be the last couple episodes, right? There's a fair bit of Lahmu stuff going on in the jungle before the final battle, and you've also gotta fit in Ushiwakamaru in there.

    The series is going to be 24-26 episodes (2cour).

    What if... what if they're cheeky and throw in Solomon?

    I can imagine that as the ending, or an end of credits stinger. It would be amazing.

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    You'd be unable to really do anything for the raid fights I feel (beyond maybe a quick sequence of the reinforcements bit - and giving animation time to the numerous fan favorites in that would be great), but a couple episodes for the main thrust of it would be good (I mean, literally two episodes. There's a perfect cliffhanger point in there)

    They'd just skip the raid fights and go straight into the army of Servants showing up as Gudako and Mash are jumping and running towards the throne

  • SkeithSkeith Registered User regular
    They could probably get away with a few different montages of Servants wrecking demon gods if they got stuck for time (excaliblasts, tear drop photon ray, that kind of thing).

    For whatever reason*, they've decided to go with the male MC for the various anime adaptations. The name they chose for the anime is Fujimaru Ritsuka, which roughly translates to "FGO Summer".

    Other adaptations vary in gender choice.

    The comedy manga Learning with Manga has a female Gudako.
    The more educational manga Teach Us FGO! has a male Gudao.
    The two somewhat-overlapping adaptations starting from Fuyuki, turas réalta and mortalis:stella both have male MCs.
    The manga for Shinjuku and Agartha have a male MC.
    The manga for Shimousa and Salem have a female MC.
    The manga for SE.RA.PH has a male MC.

    The default sadly seems to be the male main character, with the female one only showing up when it's either obviously the creator's preference (Riyo) or part of a "half-and-half for EoR" thing. Fate/Extra suffers from a similar issue, where the anime and console sequels all use the male MC.


    *(the reason is probably that the main whale audience is male otaku, cf. Valentines and swimsuit servants)

    Yeah, I'm imagining something showing the ridiculous scale of the problem, and the regeneration, pause a beat, Servants start popping up in order of singularity. First set (so, Jeanne probably?) with a quick line, montage of the beatdown. Optionally include the 8th set and event servants showing up as an extra beat, and then proceed to the meat of the story in the center.

    End credits on shield scene for first episode. Second episode resumes from there, cuts to Fou scene after a couple beats? Proceed through remainder of the showdown/escape.

    Does she ever throw it out? Because otherwise that's just two flails.

    To be honest though I'm not sure there are that many crazier weapons in the game.

    Manga (CCC Colab) Emiya Alter looking SWOLE AS F'. (And also closer to normal Emiya/NA Version skin tone.)
    TqN4wCC_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

    Also wow can you see the scars and the damage to his body from his constant over-mana-use and pushing himself too hard for too long.

    Also, more characters need to use knife pistols or whatever you call them. So far it's him and Fie from Trails of Cold Steel.

    Ergh, Im still not sure what 4* to pick.

    Rama:
    + he will be only my second gold Saber
    + he is cool
    + he is single target, while my Salter is AoE
    + he was a bro in America
    - I hope to get Musashi soon

    Carmilla:
    + she is cool
    + she is single target, and better at it than papa Emiya
    + she gets animation update soon
    - eventually she will be replaced by Shiki when rerun hits NA

    I was gonna pick Nitocris because she's the best, but I checked at the last second and huh I already have her? I don't remember pulling her at all, buti guess I haven't really been paying attention to this game lately.

    Picked JK Fox Saber instead, because why not
