Oh hey, Scathach got an Interlude! Let's check it out.And yeah, you have to spend real money for an X% chance to get the SSR Servant you want. Not recommended, stick to F2P.Edit: Oh hey, I just got Saber Lancelot with my rolls! Not bad, I really wanted to have him.Edit2: I just watched the OVA. It's okay, nothing spectacular honestly. Has a really slow start though due to the fact we have to see the events before the MC is sent to Fuyuki.Edit3: Oh yeah, FGO 1.5 announced already, we will have 4 chapters to deal before we go to 2.0.https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/5l9ygo/next_order_epic_of_remnant/Also, that male Servant with twin guns? It's Emiya Alter. The design of the guns (the blade part) is the same as his twin swords, and there's one chapter mentioning about a hero of justice. That's... some weird design seriously.
So generic kunoichi's reason for being a woman is that she's from a different dimension. They are literally not even trying to come up with remotely viable reasons anymore. The gimmick about her hating the fact that the gender-flipped servants were gender-flipped just pisses me off. That's hypocritical humor that doesn't work.Also DW has yet to acknowledge that there was a quartz shop bug where whales didn't get the quartz they bought. The worse thing is that they will completely get away with ignoring it.
The loli who's the focus of the Salem Witch trials has to be Abigail Williams, which is the increasingly rare case of the servant being the correct gender AND age!
More FGO Mats 3 StuffQuoteMedb's wish for the grail is to make all good men in the past, present and future her lovers. She doesn't like men who get jealous so Finn doesn't count. Also she doesn't like him to begin with.Poor Finn, not even the town's bike wants him.

Gender though is a problem that it's becoming a bit too often. Enough pandering those that want women just to have a boner ffs. I'm more lucky than Byakko because in my case I wanted Fuuma Kotarou to be male, and I got him male. I would have been really pissed if they had made him female just 'cause. I'm still a bit pissed that Nobunaga is female, but I use the "It comes from a joke scenario that I laughed quite a few times reading it" to accept its existance. And let's not talk about Yorimitsu, which at least we know that the Saber version is male so there's still that (though the canon with Kintoki is that she's female in his universe which fuck it).Yeah, I am pissed like Byakko. I went to Vagabond just to watch how Musashi should have been done. They had such an easy reference there, yet for some reason they had to make him female. I wonder if it was Higashide, Sakurai or Nasu who designed her. I don't even understand why use genderbend when there's plenty of female material to make Servants.
I'd even be okay with gender bent if they had made her better, at least something like extra rider/that pirate chick, but instead we got a generic kunoichi.
Oh, Sir Francis Drake? That's one with some actual thought in it, because she's really supposed to be Queen Elizabeth under a pseudonym as I understand. Most of these are just "I dunno, tits"
https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/5lujja/datamined_voice_lines_about_new_servants/So the new update has brought us new voices, and the community instantly datamined them. Just to warn you, it has spoilers about what Servants will appear in the FGO 1.5 release. Putting it here too in spoilers, so you don't have to go through the comments (plus my thoughts about all of it)Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty- Perseus (both Medusa and Gorgon comment about him)- King Hassan (Hassan of the Cursed Arm comments about him)- Inshun Hozoin (Amakusa comments about him/her)- Holmes (Helena comments about him)- Sita (Rama comments about her)- Achilles (Iskandar comments about him. He's a total fanboy towards him LOL)- Avicebron (Void Shiki comments about him. Confused people in the thread since she compares him to Solomon, and the only thing they recognized was Solomon so yeah...)- Sieg (Amakusa comments about him. Yep, the Homunculus from Apocrypha)- Sigurd (Brynhild goes full yandere on him)- That terrible Calamity Jane (Liz, Billy and Geronimo comment about her)- Assassin Li, the old version (Okita comments about him being stronger than the Lancer, and we know his older version was stronger so...)- Chiron (Scathach comments about him)- Saber Astolfo (Jeanne comments about a Servant with pink hair, and we knew that Astolfo has a Saber and Rider version from previous datamines so high chance it's him)- Semiramis (yet again Amakusa reveals another Servant)Judging by the insane amount of Apocrypha Servants that have gotten a mention, we should probably expect an Apocrypha event in the near future (which isn't really surprising since the anime was announced). There's some people waiting since day 1 for Semiramis, hell will break loose once she becomes available.Yeah, I put Inshun Hozoin as unknown sex because who knows what TM can do. They already genderbended a buddhist monk, wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.

And got him in just 2 10-rolls too. Cleo, Merlin and now based bro. This game's RNG has been loving me for the past few weeks.Also apparently the Japanese players are so pissed off that DW is still ignoring the quartz bug and not giving them refunds that they've been complaining to consumer affairs since yesterday. It'll only be a short while before the government is involved unless they act fast.https://fate-go.gamerch.com/%E3%83%90%E3%82%B0%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A8%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E5%A0%B1%E5%91%8A
Well, FGO Mats 3 says Iskandar deeply admires Achilles, so it's not really a surprise here.Edit:Quote一切をゼロにして死を癒すってアプローチ？ 残念だけど、それ、とっくに試されてるから。The approach of overcoming death by reducing all things to zero? Sorry to say, but that's been tried before.冥界の鳥。たおやかなオシリスよ。そなたの理念は千年遅い。その妄念じゃ、古い“一”の考えだ。O bird of the Underworld, graceful Osiris -- your thinking is a thousand years out-dated. Yours was also the delusion of the Ancient 'I'Woooooooow, Melty Blood actually hinted the plot of FGO. WTF.Edit2: And FGO Mats 3 is here.http://imgur.com/a/0Vmur
So I'm still out of TM and all (I empty my AP bar for FGO once a day but no more effort and no more money, ditched half my friend list), but I wanted to say, I'm reading the Táin Bó Cúailnge and Jesus Christ I want a Rider Cú Chulainn.So he goes into his Riastrad, you know, legs twisting backward (like a wolf), cheeks peeling back (like a wolf), lion-killing jaw snap, poisonous black blood spouting out like a mist, Super Saiyan hair spiking up, etc., then he gets in his war-chariot (after using a spell to make Láeg, his charioteer, invisible) : "bristling with points of iron and narrow blades, with hooks and hard prongs and heroic frontal spikes, with ripping instruments and tearing nails on its shafts and straps and loops and cords [...] speedy as the wind or as a sallow or a deer darting over the level plain", rushing at the enemy army, tearing up boulders off the ground, circling around them, forming a dike like a fortress wall, and plowing through them, killing an uncountable amount - they only bothered counting the kings and it was 150. It's even given a name, Seisrech Bresligi (Sixfold Slaughter). Basic equipment is his sword and shield (with the brim sharfp enough to decapitate people).And there's even enough material to make a Caster Cú more relevant than just "oh he picked up the Norse runes from Scáthach", when he uses Ogham runes on an oak branch that he tosses with one hand across the path (the Ath nGabla four forked branch), which even Fergus mac Roích wrecks 14 chariots trying to smash it before using his own chariot to pull it away, and a couple more similar barriers. Hell, he could even work as an Archer, shooting off stones from a hill blowing the brains off 300 soldiers in 3 nights to harass Medb's army while they're trying to circle around the country to find the bull, not counting how he shot a leather ball through the mouth of Culann's demonic dog and destroyed its insides.Holy fuck, Ireland. (And eat shit, India's Mahabharata)
Yeah, Cú's pretty overpowered in his legend, it's a pity that FGO sometimes gives him the image of being weak or not really worth commenting. And glad to see you back, even if for a moment (and those Lancer just died! jokes in Carnival Phantasm also didn't help). I hope you still consider doing story summaries, we really appreciate them. Wasting no money in this game is something good too, a mobage game is not a game you should invest money unless you have a 100% guarantee you'll get what you want, else it's gambling. And even them all the money you adquired will be lost when the service disappears, and I would rather have something that I will always have available.Btw, I use this chance to promote that King Hassan's gatcha is now out, and I would like to recommend NOT to roll it. It's obviously a bait gatcha, specially taking into account the Valentine event is coming in a month. He's not a bad Servant, but if you have another 5* Assassin or even Carmilla you can skip him. His lore is quite interesting though.
Nanashi_1337 said, January 12, 2017, 07:41:53 pmI hope you still consider doing story summaries, we really appreciate them.Thanks for the sentiment, but I honestly don't feel like making any effort for anything Type-Moon, that includes probably not caring about the story in the first place - especially seeing the stupid stuff that's cropping up for the 1.5 transition chapters (EMIYA somehow switching to a straight up Black guy with guns, how do you even make up ridiculous shit like that). I just don't see the difference anymore with the ocean of retarded fanfictions on random Internet pages, and I certainly don't want to read that. Unless something really good catches me by surprise, but I probably won't be paying attention and just finish the quests as part of my daily mobage routine (which I share with another game I'll put my effort in).Hell, I don't even know if I'll roll anything anymore.
Well, I can't blame you for stopping, I would have probably done the same had Kotarou or Holmes been a woman too. What they did with Musashi is pandering to the fans, and I deeply hate that concept because it usually shits on any setting or design the creator has done until now because it just sells much more, which is a good reason to do, but don't expect people who seriously liked your series for what it was to be happy about your choice.
I had a bad spending adventure with this game this week because of all-chance pressure. $100 and got (relatively) shit rolls. Like, dupe Kerry and my first Sumanai. lolThen today I rolled Gil with free quartz.I should thank this game for making me aware of my recent spending issues and getting me Gil as the ultimate compensation as I realized my mistake, but seriously...I'm still gonna play the game but I'll be ultra careful. I haven't even made much of a dent in Camelot, and considering I zerk-rushed most of the game, I'm in for a wild ride. Like the reality sunk in this very week.
So, dango rerun.https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/5npg0l/dango_rerun/If you were lacking hearts, that's your chance. Guess that's the only thing they could do for the long wait that there is until we reach the Valentine event.And obviously Orion & Artemis get a rate up. Also they get an animation upgrade which is something they needed, though they also need some help so they're not only useful to deal with males.
Spent my remaining 30 quartz to go for the bait and lo and behold.Why do I keep getting all these 5-stars in a short amount of time? Am I being pranked?
Did you want a Dantes event rerun to continue this obvious string of filler before FGO 1.5? No? Well, that's too bad.Since this is a high difficulty event, I guess an Ibaraki rerun (that doesn't suck) is possible.
