Are we thinking Salem is going to drop after the Thanksgiving campaign?

one of the campaigns has a gap of time on Dec 2 so the theory is that's when Salem drops

looks like that puts us 4 days behind where japan was 2 years ago (their's was november 29th for the start of the salem banner).

Poor Caster of Okeanos and Nezha though. One of the only banners where there's no SSR rateup at all, and even if there were, given what we know about the next banner no one would be rolling on it anyway.

it's def a weird choice to slap two general pool SRs on a banner alone lol. okeanos is good though so even a split rateup is alright for people who want her. i guess shinjuku did the same (but with storylocks) and the other EoRs just had relevant SSRs to recycle

I guess that's the hidden cost of having half the story cast be FP servants.

So it turns out that the version of Unity the NA client is built on is old and doesn't jive well with the GPUs in the newer iPhones so until they give us the newer unity update we're gonna have to deal with it - it sucks so bad

It's not a huge deal since I've just finished Camelot but I did not know the upcoming Christmas event required Babylonia cleared to do it

It's just a bit farther of a gate than I expected for a holiday event but hey I am relatively new here :shrug:

There should be some time for Salem in between now and the start of Christmas. Babylonia's longer than Salem, but theoretically you should have time to get through it. Worst case scenario they'll rerun this Christmas next year and you can get Santilla then.

Ideally I'd recommend trying to get through Solomon as well if you can, the Part 2 prologue at the end of the year will require it. That one isn't limited time only like Christmas, but it's a big enough story event it's nice to play it along with everyone else.

Also, try to keep on pace with the story in the future, as part 2 has some events with fairly strict story gating. In particular, the Benienma new years event next year will require the 3rd part 2 story chapter despite it only having come out a month or so previous.

If you cleared Camelot, then you should have the chops to clear Babylonia. It's not easy mind you, but after dealing with the Raw Spite of Nightless Gawain, everything else by comparison is simple.

That being said, try not to hurry through Babylonia too quickly. It's generally considered to be the best chapter, so I'd hate to see someone power through it just for a repeatable Christmas event.

Enjoy it. Fate Grand/Order will seldom be as good.

tbf there are part 2 time gates as early as next year (and Sparrow's Inn is in 2021), Halloween will require LB2 completion and Samba Christmas requires LB1. so in general yeah, once you catch up to the story you want to stay on top if you can.

I mean it's not like once you catch up to the story there will be any events going on when new story chapters are released.

quote:

Takeuchi: In old "Fate", it was the Kojiro Sasaki from the Musashi Miyamoto legend who was summoned, right?
Nasu: In old "Fate", yes. Though both were summoned by Caster, the Kojiro Sasaki in old "Fate" was the real deal. But during my 15 years since I wrote old "Fate", I've been able to read up some more on Kojiro's legends, and it turns out there's a theory that the legends are compiled from the feats performed by three different individuals. Based on this, I thought it would be interesting if this Assassin was a "Fake" Kojiro. If a Master were to try and intentionally summon Kojiro Sasaki, they wouldn't be able to because he didn't actually exist. As was suggested in the storyline, if there existed a giant database of humans, this swordsman would be the one whose data most closely resembled the profile of "Kojiro Sasaki". Through this process, this man's persona became that of Assassin's (Kojiro Sasaki's), and any accomplishment he achieved would therefore be attributed to Kojiro Sasaki rather than this random "nameless samurai". This "reality shift" of sorts is also why a mere human being was able to master a move like the "Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon (Tsubame Gaeshi)".

There is no "real" Kojiro in Fate. Which seems a bit silly when you have completely legendary figures being treated as having been real, but Nasu gets to decide who existed and who didn't in his setting. And the Kojiro in FGO was the same person as the one in FSN.

Kojiro is low key one of my favourite bits of Fate insanity. Yeah, this random nameless farmer learned how to sword so well, he broke reality and achieved True Magic (or at least a limited facet of it but still).

I guess that gets down to what Yagyu was saying--about how Musashi would never be able to face her rival, because no human could master an "infinite" sword.

It would take some kinda bizarro sword ghost to help her achieve the Void.

I juuuust realized that Shimosa was old man Musashi's dream all along :aaa:

Define maxed. Level 100? 2000/2000 Fous? Both?

NP2 Gil just reduces the RNG/facecards needed on a lot of setups even before the saber node
