I'm afraid its because of Super-Science.

Regular-Ass Science is innocent.
While I appreciate the guide, I admit I'm just not all that pushed about the new crowd. Most seem pretty boring. If I didn't see Hectors spear I'd probably just assume Arash had taken up smoking. Bonny and Read are apparently aces but their designs are too off-putting. Medea Lily isn't very interesting when I'm already invested in her older version, whose gimmick is actually useful.

The only one I'm sorta interested in is Drake, and given I have to save for Gudaguda and Scathach down the line, I'm not sure the Okeanos Rate-up is worth spending quartz on just to chase one 4*.

I got my weekly login ticket today, was just gonna sit on it and save it until a rate up for someone I really liked came up. But then I had a good chain of drops in a row, between getting some zerker monuments and chaos claws, so hey, why not burn the ticket while I'm on a hot luck streak. Surely this can't fail me like it has every other time I fell into this trap.



oh poo poo wait what



I think I've got a gold archer problem. Even moreso since the only reason I'm excited to get her is because her interlude has a guaranteed seven serpent jewels and I need them for Atalante. And maybe Gil idk.

I don't see why creating a Fate primer of sorts and posting it on their website would be too hard to make/link to if 'not getting the references' is an issue. They've set the bar of expectations for a bunch of anime nerds very low

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Grinding for statues is painful. I need 2 to 12 silver Berserkers, and 2 to 7 gold Berserkers.. The mix is based on who I decide to Ascend. I'm 2 gold statues from getting Jeanne all the way, but maybe I should spend them on Lancelot or Heracles instead..? Too many choices. :(

I have to wonder just how many of the Japanese players had actually played CCC.

Is there any kind of source on that account, by the way? While it's not implausible, I'm wary of putting too much confidence in an random inflammatory jpeg.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

due to a lack of familiarity with the source material the following events have been cancelled

Halloween 2015, because Elizabeth is from CCC
GudaGuda, because GudaGuda
Christmas 2015, because Saber Alter is from Heaven's Feel
Saber Wars, because the april fool's joke Mysterious Heroine X is from was not posted in English
Kara no Kyoukai, because no american in the history of the world has paid the 800 dollars for the boxset
Da Vinci-chan and the Seven Counterfeit Spirits, because Americans don't know what an Otome Game is
Rashoumon, because Americans don't know what Onis are
Sanzou, because Americans don't know what India is
Onigashima, because Americans don't know what Kamen Rider is
FGO Summer Festival, because Americans don't know what a Summer Festival is
Summer 2016, because the the event is filled with references to old Japanese action movies
Halloween 2016, because Elizabeth is from CCC
GudaGuda 2, because GudaGuda
Fate/Extra CCC, because yeah
All the Statesmen, because the Riyo comics aren't being officially translated
Summer 2017, because it's a reference to an episode of Carnival Phantasm, and Carnival Phantasm never got a US release

please look forward to your new event schedule, which is just the fate/zero event on loop, forever

it sold about 120k in Japan, which is pretty decent sales for what it was but with a playerbase of like 6-7 million it's pretty clearly not exactly a mainstay of the franchise. CCC is just Nasu's personal favorite work he's done in the series so it gets referenced a lot, it's not some core tenet of the lore.

It's an idiotic policy for a series that has had as many scattershot releases as Fate has had in the west and especially considering we've never gotten an official release of the visual novel which the entire series originated from.

Like if people have gotten this far without the original source material readily accessible to them, why all of a sudden are Koha-Ace and CCC determining the servant releases?

Honestly, this all just makes me more and more worried for the future of the game. If all I wanted was to mash through battles and accumulate servants, I'd just play the JP game.

If they're just flat out not interested in doing the fun events and side content, they should just come out and say it instead of wasting all our time with a game that'll never have the interesting stuff I'm actually looking forward to.

He means Koha Ace not FGO Learning with Manga. Koha Ace is the gag manga that both Nobunaga and Okita originate from in Fate lore where they both riff on stuff in the Fate franchise while being incredibly lazy shitlords.

Here's one of the Drama CDs that was translated featuring both Okita and Nobunaga where they both talk about FGO and by talk I mean talk about nothing and occasionally mention FGO in annoyed tones.
