Oh hi. Does this game have a decent story?
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.

Shocking that the community that drove off the Parvati artist would do this.
The parvati artist got an insane amount of poo poo but he's doing fine and still works on the game.

Also, https://twitter.com/u_kodachi/status/1205928315950788608 the post mentions that it's his last episode, but not that it's the last episode because of any sort of backlash. There's a lot of lovely comments in response but there's no indication he's leaving the project because of backlash, especially since the big backlash seems to have been after an episode that aired two days ago, while anime episodes need to be written weeks or even months in advance. And he's still writing the Camelot movie, he even mentions it in the post. If he was quitting because of backlash you think he'd quit the movies too.

He also wrote a fair amount of apocrypha. It's clear Nasu or at least someone at TM likes him since he's been tapped to write fate anime across studios, so he'll probably be fine. And theres comments thanking him, too, and babylonia seems to be doing pretty well.

Not that the people.in those replies who are being dicks arent awful, but its not worth giving them more power than they actually have.

Oh yeah for the record the quetz scene was executed very poorly but that could be for a number of reasons besides the writer. Director or storyboarder, or maybe cuts weren't done in time to do it properly.

What's a servant with good Def down/quick damage up capabilities I'm likely to see on a friend's list? My Jack isn't fully skilled up yet so she's having trouble one-turn nuking Medusa on the current farm node, and I'm hoping I can get it done with a couple debuffs.
try the suit mystic code (royal brand) if you have it and don't need other mystic code skills, the first skill on it is 30% quick up at level 1

It probably bodes poorly for the smug looking Crypter bro that Charlotte is going to be a featured story Servant in this, right? Or is that wishful thinking on my part?
His lostbelt's apparently gone to such poo poo that he just peaced out. He specifically mentions a 'naive princess' that wanted to go to hell together with him.

More specifically, it's because we got Enkidu early that we won't get any of the SF Servants before it ends. From what I heard, the author got really upset (purposely avoiding saying 'threw a fit' here) about Enkidu's addition, and asked that they not include anyone else any more.
I don't think he really got upset about Enkidu's addition exactly, more the ways FGO was constraining him. He wanted to use Dantes and Edison and FGO undercut him twice, and he asked for information on who might be added in the future and was denied. Going 'well, at least don't use any of my Servants until I'm done for spoilers' sake' is understandable. And even then, I think 'upset' isn't the right word, it's a reasonable request that they've honored.

An example of an anime that did an awful job handling action scenes was the Tsukihime series; all the action scenes felt really underwhelming since they were a lot blander and simpler than what was described in the VN. I guess they didn't have the budget for decent actions scenes.
I forget how many fights the Tsuki anime had but Tsukihime the VN only has like 5 action scenes across all five routes, iirc?. Shiki vs Nrvnqsr, Shiki vs Roa, Shiki vs SHIKI, Akiha vs SHIKI, and Shiki vs Akiha. I guess there's two separate instances of Shiki fighting Nrvnqsr but the first one isn't so much a fight as 'trying not to get eaten by a crocodile.'

Level 80 Herc plus a bunch of random bronze/silver supports like Leonidas, Hans, Mozart, can absolutely pull you through every boss in part 1, except maybe Gawain.

Plus as Berserkers, herc and lancelot are the best starter pulls by default IMO. The only great Berserkers in the FP pool are Asterios, Spartacus, and Lu Bu, and Spartacus's damage is too low to do anythign against bosses, and Asterios needs really specific support. And Lu Bu is good and probably does more damage than Herc but he doesn't have his survivability skills.
