How many westerners do you think have heard of the Shimabara rebellion? I'm a history buff and had read about it, but I'll wager that less than one in a thousand westerners are aware of it. I bet most people aren't even aware that there were any Christians in 17th century Japan.

Though to be fair Amakusa does rant about the shogunate mass-murdering Christians near the end of Shimousa, so his motives do get explained within the story even to someone who doesn't know anything about him.

I didn't know about Shimabara, I was just vaguely aware that there was anti-Christian prejudice and made the connection. :shrug:

I did like the Big Reveal that Caster of Limbo was only pretending to be Abe no Seimei and was actually ASHIYA DOUMAN!!! when the vast majority of the english-speaking audience's response will be 'who?'

Yeah, count me among that crowd. I mean, it was kind of neat to learn about them after the fact, but it doesn't have quite the same impact. Oh well.

I was aware about how Japan pretty much banned Christianity way back when, so I could at least dig that villain's motives even if I wasn't entirely up on the Shimabara Rebellion.

How many more singularities do I need to finish after Camelot? Cause as much as I enjoy the story of this one every fight having 1-2 waves of 90k hp trash mobs is dragging it out to insufferable lengths and Im not sure I can do it before the next event.

Babylonia and then Solomon, though Solomon is very short, basically just boss fights.

Babylonia is a much more fun singularity to actually play, at least.

I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.
I finally finished Shinjuku, and I just didn't care for it. It doesn't help that I have no emotional investment in the Alters, and Crime Grandpa does nothing for me; it feels like a filter arc rather than an extension of the original story.

Onto Agartha, maybe it'll turn it around.

Sorry, what's an SR ticket supposed to be? It's the one where you choose a 4*?


Anyways I think the first Advent gift is going to be one of the better ones, to get players excited and stoke FOMO. I speculate that we're going to get things on par with the summon ticket (or better) only the last few days, like from the 21st or so. Still, I won't complain about whatever free poo poo they throw at us.

Comedy option, we get 500 evil bones the 24th and something really good the 25th, and the player base complains that they messed up the order.

Yeah, apparently Hijikata loves those things ‘cause he needs a ton of them. And that’s after he already ate through most of the chain stock I’d built up during Nerofest.

EN/Global did get a Pick Ticket last year (for thanksgiving I think?) that JP never got though, so its there is a slim possibility we'll get one...


I wouldn't get your hopes up, however.

wasn't that the tutorial-only ticket?

JP also had this year's ticket tied to the Babylon anime campaign so it'll likely look very different when we reach that point in two years.
