Yikes, so is Caesar fat or is it some bulky rear end muscle?

Also while i'm super excited for actual good welfare servants I'm not looking forward to half of them being lame swimsuit versions. Guess if I want the actual ones I'll just have to invest in their plastic duplicates, especially for ones like Scathach.

Three; Saber Liz definitely counts as a lame swimsuit version too.

I guess it is dumb to complain about something being too goofy in a game that features several identical copies of female King Arthur but still, I dislike the swimsuit version of Servants and think they are too silly for the game.

The fact that the best Archer in the game is Altria clad in one-piece swimsuit and shooting things with water gun is insult to my sensibilities. :colbert:

80% of this game is goofy gags about tits and asses and also references to 70s action movies. this game has taken it self-seriously for, at most, a consecutive 5 hours in camelot. coincidentally it was immediately followed up by the goofiest chapter in the game where gilgamesh talks about how much he wants to gently caress japanese girls and gives you 100 exp cards and ishtar and ereshkigal keep proposing threesomes.

I'd like to think that in future they'll move to using more costumes for swimsuits and spend their game design time on more new servants.

But in practice I'm sure swimsuit servants are a huge driver of quartz sales so that won't happen.

Her coat and the ponytail are the ideal sprite imo

Also this year's swimsuit servants were more silly and weirdly designed and then you got cool poo poo like Rin in her poofy coat with babby Bull of heaven

A lot of swimsuit alts in games are pretty boring, but FGO does pretty well in terms of design and gameplay variation, so you're not rolling just for "char in a swimsuit", but also "char with a cool/funny spin on their design and personality".

there are literally no bad servants in fate/grand order

okay kuro kinda sucks but she's a welfare that hits like a truck and as 'goofy girl who just wants a happy ending even though she shouldn't be allowed one' she's fine. shame about her being from prism ilya, though.
and jack's design is pretty bad but she's a cute character and you can use her first sprite.

everyone is good.

Also Swimsuit Hans would be interesting, if only because you'd actually be able to see the effect Innocent Monster has on his body (normally hidden under his clothes). The burns, the fish scales, etc.

Wait which welfare other than Scathach is in swimsuit mode?

Also i'm just not a fan of swimwear. Not like it matters since the servants i'd want to get anyway are all 5* in either Swimsuit or Regular attire. :negative:

And Saber Liz is uncomfortable to look at.

Yeah they're ok. Astolfo is cute but shame he's such a poo poo character in game. Personality is excellent though.

Well that makes sense. Wearing a jacket in the summer protects you from bugs and burning.

honestly astolfo's decent after their buffs. they're not great but like, they're probably better than the other 4* aoe riders (Martha, Marie, Summer Mordred). Summer Ishtar's way better than them though and she does the damage thing Astolfo wants to do and is a welfare, but still.

Endorph

siegfried and astolfo are the two memes but there's way worse 4*s than them. they were so meme that they've gotten like 3 buffs each when they really only needed one to be usable.
