i mean i think when something is so widely praised within the industry that birthed it, there's probably more to it than "smears and lines" and instead of being a dismissive and superior rear end in a top hat you could take a moment to consider what merit it might have

So is there a simple guide so I know where to farm event currency most efficiently? I can pretty easily do mama 6m with Nobu/Waver/Shiki so it's mostly just farming to buy out the shop.

there's an event guide here that lists drops and whatnot

hot springs and tower are good enough nodes for coral and baskets respectively, at least if you've got access to multiple event CEs. brocade farming will suck until the last nodes unlock.

i dunno, i get that the grind to clear out the shop is awful but the event overall was actually really fun for me since i pretty much dropped the grind after clearing the ladder and getting np5 toki. contrasting with go west where the rewards were less exciting and the grind was much worse, i didn't even bother completing it because i was having such a bad time.

If you're patient enough, the next paid banner is class based, with the exception of Jeanne being slotted into Assassin....which at that point is only Jack. So 50/50 shot on Jack or Jeanne.

I mean, when people are posting multiple 5* Servants on their paid rolls, getting two 5* CEs, ones it's debatable I'll ever use at that (can't think of any reason to start MLBing a second Heaven's Feel, and Ideal Holy King is really niche), isn't really what I want to get lucky on.

This reasonable looking (to me at least) chart someone made on Reddit figured the worst case would be starting when JP got it.

Which wouldn't be terrible, but it'd be nice if it was earlier.

i feel like this chart should just compare anniversary and later, but i guess people really aren't over the AX delay and rearrangement of other stuff. but yeah i didn't expect delays past 8/1 which would put us ahead of JP in terms of dates.

waiting to 8/11 probably would be a bit much even as someone who appreciates this downtime

some of the summer characters are more gimmicky than others since they have skills that rely on specific locations or team compositions but it's not like that is unique to summer servants.

I'll take Ufotable's consistency over Apocrypha's two gorgeously animated fights shining in a pile of forgettable and off-model generic anime battles. And no, I'm not talking about in-between frames.

all of ufo's shows have several fight scenes each with extended choreography and all of apocrypha had booming, theatrical sound effects that dominated a ton of fights, not to mention the several times where the screen was just ~beamspam~
imo the two studios both excel at what they do in their fate shows, they just have different priorities in how they allocate skilled artists. Ufotable prides itself on amazing post-production work and A-1 brings on a ton of talented animators and both of them are super prideful of it and turn everyone's heads with their "hey check this out" moves.

and i think all the bright and crazy effects own especially because they're fulfilling the dreams of a visual novel with a billion CGs for colorful weapon swings and bright lines and clashing steel

it's weird but i think watching their Touken Ranbu did a lot to retroactively sour me on the style the used for it + Fate, because at that point it feels less like their version of Fate and just their version of action shows period. i get that studio specialization and identity is a thing, but personally i prefer a studio that is less stylistically monolithic. and as much as the post-prod process is it's own form of art, i feel like it does as much to enhance some scenes as it does to partially/wholly obscure others.

tho as a sidebar i'm not sure why the earlier discussion of FApo had to be made into this weirdly combative comparison at all
