So I've read that the next event really sucks grind-wise. I've also read that the grind was nerfed in the rerun. I think we've been getting the benefit of re-run QoL changes so are we getting the nerfed grind version of this event?

the main point in favor of getting the nerfed version would be that no other lotto event before or since has had hp totals that bad. so it definitely seems like an outlier they didn't get around to correcting until the rerun...but all bets are off until the event actually drops, unless they give us details during the thursday stream.

because even ignoring the 410k hp saber node, 3/4 of the nodes in the event have bosses with 300k+ hp, more than double your average lotto.

I'm going to be grinding it hard either way now that I've realized that despite finally acquiring Tamamo I am like 100 bones short of what she needs. Dear MHXA, please obliterate that 410k saber for me... :negative:

it's a homunculus/lantern/seed/fluid lotto, bones aren't even in the shop

davinci lotto has you covered with 4 bones per box in january though, and it's considerably nicer when it comes to hp totals.

Yeah, those segments felt like a sequel to the Go West event. I found them entertaining, though I have to say that staging plays that treat the gods of another religion as real to a fanatical Christian community seems like a poor way of earning their trust.

Feels less like something they wrote as a free quest thing to begin with and more like something they wrote and implemented into the game then cut, for probably these reasons. It'd have slowed down the pacing of the story and also been a weird fit. But since it was already implemented it wasn't too hard to put into free quests.They sell the play thing a lot in the PV and in the initial parts of the story but then wind up only having two, plus Salem feels a fair bit shorter than a lot of other chapters, and no other story chapter has a free quest story like that, so put that all together and that feels like what happened.

There are three plays in the main storyline: the Queen of Sheba one, the there Little Jeannes one, and the Circe one.

They probably wanted a play for each of the new non-Abigail Servants.

Maaya Sakamota gave a message on chaldea radio about playing as Da Vinci

quote:

Right, babylona! I wonder if you guys are watching it? Every time I see it on-air I think that the visuals are so amazing.

Well, during the recording you know the video is still unfinished and they haven't added music yet. So it's great that I can look at the finished product with everyone on-air, at the same time.

The quality is really amazing, and while always being surprised and being touched, I'm having fun watching it as an audience like everyone else.

Well, if you talk about Da Vinci-chan i was able to voice her in the game but... For me the first time I was able to translate or something, or well voice a main character was jeanne D'arc. So if I had to say then Da vinci-chan was, without any misunderstanding, someone I did while i was at it?

"While i was at it" is kind of wrong but she was like a side character. She really didn't talk that much was the kind of setting I was told. However her roles were continuously increasing and increasing and I'm really happy about that.

But I never thought that I would be able to see her many expressions and movement in an anime that i can't help but think that "Ah, thanks to everyone and their love that Da vinci was able to grow into such a lively character"

Well I do voice Alexander and Jeanne, but for me Da vinci is the easiest to voice. Well, I perceive Da vinci's character with the image of an old man inside so, how do i say this, there's the feeling that i can closely capture Da vinci's character. And well, Da vinci's a character that has a playful heart, physically weak feeling, Old man feeling, abit of Old lady feeling, and lastly sexiness. I act Da vinci with many perspectives in mind.

i look forward to more of her roles. So! About the recordings, the workplace feels really good! The age range is a bit on the high side? And I'm sure that Rieri and Nobunaga-kun know that the workplace mostly has Senpai's like me and the rest of the others. It's a workplace where the senpai's are constantly chatting and stuff. I really wonder how the kouhai's see us senpai's as they see us communicate. I think about that while being a bit anxious, but while still having fun and being friendly.

So Rieri is the voice of mash and i think every time that wow she's really the perfect fit for Mash. The reason mash is cute is probably because of Rie's voice isn't it? That mash is this honest, brave, and strong. Ah, she really is wonderful, I think as i watch her back. I hope that from here on we'll keep on working hard to make a good story.

Well then, everyone please watch the growth and enjoy the character I voice. And don't forget to watch the Babylonia anime! That's all from me, Sakamota Maaya.

the early chapters are pretty rough going but around chapter 4 it picks up, and the end chapters of part 1 are great. the event writing by this point is pretty consistently good too. epic of remnant, the current story arc, is kinda hit-or-miss but the most recent chapter is really good.

For a mobile game, yes. For anime in general its definitely above average. However it will probably never be remembered as one of the great literary works of our age. The writing also starts out kinda crap (cause they originally weren't putting tons of effort into a spin-off mobile game until they suddenly realized it was getting super popular) but improves steadily and only rarely dips.

Its also extremely anime, if that bugs you, stay away. Also its Gacha, and a somewhat harsh one as far as rate go (balanced by low rarity characters actually being useful) so just know thats hell you're walking into.

All IMO, ofc.

The story is terrible up to London, and even then it's a bit shaky, but when it gets to Camelot, they clearly started giving a poo poo and made it good. It's still Fate and there's still more uncool stuff than I'd like, but hey that's what you do to make the big gacha bux.

New banner is up. Abby and Sheba both are cute, but I really need to save for Hokusai, so was planning to only toss 10 tickets at the banner, stopping if/when I got either one.

2 tickets later, I now have a pancake-obsessed eldritch being. Awesome.

Parvarti NP 2
Fran NP 4
Ozymandias NP 4 (Now it's a competition between him and Vlad to see who hits NP 5 first)

But did I pull Abby?










Yep.

That's the first time I have ever gotten two 5 stars on a ten roll

While I would like Abby, I'm saving for Eresh, so I'm limiting myself to 5 tickets and 30 quartz for this banner.

I got Casgil. This is acceptable.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but between him, Waver, Merlin and Sanzang (to name a few) I am just swamped with gold Casters. Hope there's an Assassin-heavy chapter in the future.

If you're shooting for Eresh you'll probably end up getting more copies of Caster Gil, since he is on the same banner as her (as is Ana).

Damnit. Used half my quartz stock chasing Sheba and only got Lobo, and I can't even do a 10 pull for christmas CE's now because it'll put me at less than 30 paid quartz for the guaranteed 5*.
