I think it was implied in FSN that summoning Servants without a Grail providing mana is just really hard but doable.

But I think it makes sense that maybe there were hundreds of wars for Lesser Grails not just Fuyuki. It's said in the original VN that the Fuyuki grail is something like the 989's grail candidate.

Paid Gacha on JP is almost the worst money I've ever spent on this game as it got me Tesla; but then I also got another copy of Frankenstein, and it was saved.

I don't know if Tesla is good or not but even if he is I doubt he's better than Rin or Kuro.

Nero I take it is somewhat of a shut in and thus finds everything we consider to be mundane to be incredibly fascinating and awe inspiring and quaint.

I felt that Orleans was the much better story; it retread Shirou vs. Archer but I feel like that helps ground it and makes it familiar.

I grailed Jeanne on NA because she's my friend.

On JP I've gotten around to grailing some Servants (80-90) to give them a little boost. Ibaraki, Kuro, Shiki, and then probs Mary/Bonne or Gorgon, Ruler Martha next.

Granted, those were somewhat unusual circumstances and even Nasu noted it on his blog. They wanted to get the end of the first arc out before the new year and to not overburden people with the massive Babylon chapter and the JDASL event at the same time, so JDASL got bumped forward. And then they wanted Salomon Temple to land on the last week of the year, and got even better than bargained for with the world getting saved literally on Christmas Day.

Unless there are story shenanigans this year, I would expect Christmas 2017 to land much closer to the actual date.

Literally a Doctor Who episode.

I'm lucky that for the most part most of the mats are meh, having 90+ atm means that I likely don't need them for anything soon, though I should investigate what Rider Rin needs.

Is it kidnapping if you spend so much Quartz that you basically *force* a Servant to come to your call or is it that Servant being a tsundere?

My choices:

-Penthesilea because she's awesome.
-Medusa Lily because I like her animations.
-Suzuka Gozen because she looks rad.

I'm thinking Penthesilea.

September 19 is also the International Talk Like a Pirate Day, would we have been better off with lame pirate jokes and lingo?

Type-Moon's ability to land their stuff on the appropriate date strikes again. Like the Mother's Day thing with FZ.

I'm annoyed with old Drake animations though.

A big concern is, does their NP deal damage? If so is it AoE, or is it ST?

A Gold Unit of each class with a ST NP is useful for many challenge quests and for bosses in general; AoE NP's a less useful but can still work. I've gotten good results with Rinshtar and Mordred for example partly because their Buster cards can crit for ungodly amounts of damage.

Luckily we get good welfares, like Shiki, who is still my main ST Assassin.

Honestly trying to reconcile all of Archer!Gilgamesh's personality as a same dude across his multiple appearances is a bit of a lost cause at this point.

Nah.

When Gilgamesh died he had a huge amount of hope and optimism for humanity, they were going to accomplish amazing things with all the stuff he left for them but fast forward 5000 years and they've decayed and become stagnant and this angers him. The worth of any individual human is only a tiny invisible sliver of what it once was.

Extra is a world of chaos and desperation, a struggle where the best shine against the darkness, so he's happy.

FGO is similar; there's a desperate struggle and tonnes of worthy people surrounding him and he likes the protagonist, so he's happy.

Fate route and to an extent Heaven's Feel Gilgamesh foreshadow this.

This kind of stuff bums me out and I wish those people didn't do that (Unless they're reasonably wealthy professionals); and makes me nervous whenever I throw 100$ or so at it (not for a long time thankfully, last time I spent was on the paid summon gacha).

I mean, I'll probably throw 100$ at NA soon whenever one of the SSRs I'm waiting for happen, but not until then, and I'm making more money now than then.

I got 10 golden apples stocked up for whenever the more economical dailies appear.

I am *so* getting Caster Liz, I badly need an SR Caster.

It's really hard avoiding rolling for Tamamo since she + friend's Waver and Mashu makes stall a viable early game strategy and it's doubly difficult when I have been withholding rolling on my JP account for the past however many months I have been, almost at 900 free quartz.

I get paid this week, so I might just spend some money and roll with that, because aaargh.

They are required to get a skill to level 10, and they are only ever available in events and I think the rare prism shop. In other words it's like the grails; a mat that you can not grind for.

E: Obviously not useful right now, but there ostensibly will come a time when your starting servants finally start to get their skills near the top and you'll find yourself short on lores.

To be fair on JP the QP+Mat bottleneck is such that I have over 20 of the things that I've gotten compulsively from every event and challenge quest left over.

101 tickets and slightly over 900 quartz.

Sadly I now have 0 tickets and only 600ish quartz.

Something like the 5th Yagyu which showed up with the "3* to 4*" animation made me felt like FGO was taunting me and I kept at it.

Finally got Tamamonomae to level 90!!

Now onto Kiyohime so she is less paper than the fan she is holding.

I think Mornings -> XP Card farming, Afternoons -> Event farming on either account.

Once I get to predictable 40 AP quests on JP this changes but for now this is time efficient while letting my advance some Servants; I have Penthelisa to 72 and she'd be nice at 80 for the event; fem!Kratos is rad.
