The Caster of Okeanos is definitely Circe, which makes me even more salty that we STILL don't have Odysseus as a Servant.

Also, I'm liking Caster of Okeanos' design. Really curious on who Salem girl will end up being with how much they're hiding details.

it seems like a very good chance of being abigail from the theme of the cm and abigail's historic importance to salem? which would mean that her piercing purple eyes at the end there are because she's being possessed, which then leads to the question of who is possessing her.

since the salem banner has the house of seven gables in it, and because it sounds cute and cool, i'm putting my money on lovecraft possessing abigail

Yeah, I assumed it was Abigail, but I couldn't see her being 5-stars even with how infamous the Salem witch trials are. I can dig Lovecraft-Abigail though, so this will also be what I'm hoping for.

Her flavor text in the announcement definitely points to her being Abigail Williams as well, though I'm mainly curious what her class is going to be since they've been hiding that too. Seems possible she'll be one of the extra classes.

Is it not possible to get a ticket to get your Santa Alter in the raffle prior to day 7?

I'm assuming this is some variant of the expected strategy either way:
-Spend the first 6 days grinding mats to get the Holy Night Sign CEs and KFC buckets. Maybe if time allows, go after some other things in the shop that you need.
-On day 7 when Santa Alter unlocks for sure (you get a ticket as a quest reward for that day), switch to raffle clearing time for the rest of the event
-Assuming you've gotten the winning items, reset the raffle every time you get the golden apple AND run out of AP?

Various sources say that the ticket exchange in the shop doesn't become available until day 7, nor does the 50AP free quest.

It seems bad to reset the raffle without at least getting the gold and silver apples; personally I'd get the bronze apples and the secret gems too, and at that point you've basically cleared it out anyway.


Agreed, but which one?

Why the hell they didn't include the alternate meaning text/ruby text in stuff like the Noble Phantasm Names? They were obviously meant to be seen to together and typically give a different impression.

For example Nobunaga's NP 'Three Line Formation' also have the name of "Three Thousand Worlds'
Zhuge Liang's NP 'Unreturning Formation' also have the title of 'Stone Sentinel Maze'
And of course, Artoria's NP 'Excalibur' also have the title of 'Sword of Promised Victory'

I think based on cirnopedia at least, the 50AP is available out of the gate: "12/16/2015 2:00 Stocking Gathering Eve: Adult Christmas" (The original event started on 12/16)

Since this event is so last minute I'm going to give one of those reddit google docs a whirl: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AdbV-nBUOjyd4o3hjtP1to1wSwfh3Sllc5XlMNirDNs/edit?usp=sharing

Copy it to your own drive to edit and just update as you go. At the very least I appreciate it cataloging the expected days it will take to get the KFC buckets and Sock CEs.

The worst part is, this is going to be a real problem later on when folks like Enkidu and Passionlip come out, because they deliberately have the same NP name as other Servants but the ruby text is different, and that difference is actually important to how one sees the character.

Also: WHAT IS GOING ON. Salem looks completely bonkers.

Also I'm good on casters and I want to save for Christmas 2017/New Year's, but man, Circe looks like a ton of fun and Hidari's art is great as always...

IIRC they said they couldn't typeset the command cards to look decent. (They're already pretty cramped)

I still feel they should've kept it for stuff like the status screen and the NP subtitle.

Uh, let's see.

I've managed to use an US GPlay account with US GPlay money in the Japanese version, so the game itself doesn't lock you out based on account.
You might need to make an EU GPlay account to load EU GPlay money.

Credit card should work too, at least it works for me.

Even with a Kaleidoscope, it's hilarious how it's still incredibly hard it is to get him up to 100%. The absolute best NP gain he can manage on a single turn is ABQ to a whopping 10.5% added.

It's funny, I always planned on eventually raising David to max level because I liked his character and I needed a third Archer besides Emiya and Gilgamesh that was single target, but raising up Robin Hood in preparation for the event made me realize that Robin Hood is probably a better Servant gameplay wise than David, even though David was released after him.

Also Caesar will be stuck at level 50 for a while, because I don't plan on losing my few Eternal Gears to him yet until London comes out. Hope that's good enough for Christmas! Thankfully as long as I spend next week's Archer day on grinding the 30AP for pieces, both Robin Hood and David will be fine for levels. Martha is level 60 already, that's probably fine. Just need a support Santa Alter/Jack and my own Santa Alter (eventually) and I'll be down for some lottery.
