I mean, Angra is a ridiculously weak Servant whose sole niche is being the absolute best among Servants at...killing ordinary people that Servants don't have a problem doing anyway.

I don't know if it's a low key joke but Irisviel popping out of the chest animation normally reserved for grails while the actual grail is unceremoniously dumped on you via mission rewards had me laughing.

Ilya will never ever grow up and be a bride. She's destined to die in a grail war. That's why she and Iris were created. That's why Kiritsugu is sad there. The real hosed up thing is that Kiritsugu and Irisviel banged and made her, instead of her being a doll grown in a vat. Why did the Einzberns have to do things like that? Why would they make a thing that could feel suffering?

They gave the Grail a personality so it could help preserve itself, the Lesser Grail got stolen (by the Nazis!) and eventually destroyed in the Third War because of this.

As for why Acht von Einzbern helped Kiritsugu and Iri produce a homuncu-baby: it gave him theoretical leverage over Kerry (hostage!) and was also a massive accomplishment for his magecraft. Acht is the kind of supervillain who responds to every problem the same, with his schtick being “MY DOLLS!” So the chance to do something previously thought impossible was too good to pass up. This is why Sella and Leysritt worship her in Fate iirc, she’s the closest a Homunculi can get to being “human”.

Anyone else having huge performance issues after the patch on JP? I've been trying to download the in-game patch and its been frozen for like 20 minutes. And the music finally kicked in and when I tried to lower my volume even my phone's volume bar was laggy as hell.

Other stuff runs fine, including NA FGO, so I don't think it's an issue with my phone. And I played all of 1.5 part 1 just fine.

Yeah, the jp version seems to be having quite a few problems atm, I saw a lot of complaints about it yesterday. There was a twitter post from DW saying they were looking into it:

The update yesterday was really slow on my end as well, for some reason it only progressed when I reset the Wifi connection on my tablet and then it jumped from 0% to 30%. Had to reset the connection a couple more times until it finished.

for anyone else having trouble: start the game, give it like ten minutes even after it's 'frozen,' disconnect your phone from all internet, tab back into the game and you should see the progress bar in the background. reconnect your phone to the internet, hit the reconnect button, let it sit for a while, repeat this process. eventually it should patch itself fully, though you might have to do some reconnect/disconnect shenanigans to get it over that final hump

Yeah the update did some fuckery to the files so the first time they are loaded they hitch crazy hard. Just let it happen, it clears up as it goes on. (Assuming you already got through the initial load) My guess is they added some new form of asset encryption and since decrypting is the kind of thing that pegs the CPU completely everything else freezes until it's done.

I choose to read that as intentional teasing, there's no way the protagonist could resist snarking about how silly the Dress of Heaven looks on Iri

I didn't roll Angra (somehow!) and I've only got the Octuplet Crystals to go.

Meanwhile I've barely done any progress on the Journey to the West event, not getting any mats or Lore. Meh, there'll be better events eventually.
