>>4309986No noteworthy news.I untimately decided for that image for the OP, I'm sorry for those who may not like it.
Pancake. Also, I have the silliest fun with assigning the various stars of destiny to the servants. Just caters to the Suikoden fan in me.
>>4309986This is so cute https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/123361075
One more to go
>>4311330Morgan?
>>4311469> Eats her siblings on NPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOLBMwXcDzgWhat an adorable manifestation of pure evil. On the other hand, this is the first confirmed appearance of Violet in FGO.
>>4311469Why did we get a 2nd summer BB if we were just gonna get Kazuradrop right afterwards anyway? Not to sound disappointed, but I don't like how much screentime the Sakura 5 and the Extraverse take up in FGO. Popping up for a story every now and then is cool, but at this point it feels like FGO is being used to get people hyped for the Extra remake that's taken forever to come out.
>>4311564The only reason I can think of that she can also be her LB6 version. The costume she gets makes her her fairy variant and all.
>>4311564I think they just like them. Doesn't make sense to use the Sakura 5 to promote a game in which they don't appear (regular Extra).
>>4311578But they're connected to said game and it's characters, hence why we saw the Hakunos in the last story. As stated in the past you can't think of BB without thinking of Hakuno as well. So I disagree with you on that
>>4311592You can think about Hakuno without thinking BB, though. Which is good, because BB is a terrible character.
>>4311603Terrible gameplay wise? I think she's pretty decent to use.
>>4311608No. Terrible CHARACTER. I already disliked her in CCC.
>>4311564I mean, to be fair, there's a decent argument that F/GO only exists because of Extra, so this can in some sense be seen as repaying a debt. It was TM's first try at doing (non-fighting game) gameplay, and on a mechanical and story level a lot of parts of F/GO were clearly modeled on Extra, sometimes with a few tweaks (basic combat is turn based, attacks are with three types of cards, getting three in a row grants an Extra attack, a limited list of servant skills that can be used every now and then, and some less powerful utility options the master has access to, NPs as cinematic super moves, QP as currency, a personal room to talk to your servants with, and so on.) And that's without even getting into individual characters.
>>4311612I highly doubt this is the case. FGO exists because of one reason and one reason only, money. I don't think it has anything to do with Extra. I think FGO has outlived it's storytelling capabilites and is now used to tell stories with other characters from other games to pretty much be not only promotional material but also allow writers to tell whatever type of story they want with them now. Almost 10 years of a game that has been directionless since Solomon would do that to a game.
>>4311612A lot of the lingo is also directly lifted from Extra. Like code cast, command codes and spiritrons.
>>4311618I think you're looking too deep into it
>>4311619They certainly didn’t use those terms in Fate/Stay Night where there wasn't even a lick of technology and magic mix like it was later introduced with Extra.
>>4311620But you're implying that because of those terms FGO is heavily marketing Extra characters. That the game is doing it because of some sort of debt. That's like saying Artoria was in later Extra games because Extra used the holy grail war idea from the original games and is now indebted to them. In reality it's money and the devs using previous game concepts in newer ones. I doubt when people heard command codes they all immediately thought of Extra.
>>4311330Naisu!>>4311472Yes. . .>>4311469Glad she wasn't BB!Dubai.>>4311551>What an adorable manifestation of pure evil.You can say that again.>VioletNow maybe we can get her in 2 years when we get another EXTRA related Event.>>4311564I don't see how getting Kazuradrop invalidates getting another BB prior...I pointed it out before, but in 9 years, there were 4 EXTRA related Events (and 4 Events with some level of BB focus, 3 of them being the same as the EXTRA related ones), so personally I don't feel like it's all that frequent. If anything, the frequency to which Amakusa shows up in Events bothers me way more.My only concern regarding DCG!BB is that I already used so, so many SQs to get Summer!BB, so I fear I'll have to use pity to get her...>>4311592>you can't think of BB without thinking of Hakuno as well.I certainly can.
>>4311621>But you're implying that because of those terms FGO is heavily marketing Extra characters.I'm not, that was the other anon. I'm saying that Extra heavily influenced the terminology that would get used by FGO and that, in fact, it is influenced more by Extra than it is by the original Fate since things like how Gilgamesh is written is straight out of the Extra games, not Stay Night obviously.
>>4311551Wow, they gave her a Swimsuit Alt in her regular Ascensions, plus a Muryan Costume? Fancy.
>>4311631>Yes. . .I just thought that was the crazy snake
>>4311644I still don't think that's the case. I think that's just some writers are used on different games. I don't think any Fare game directly influenced any other Fate game. The only thing that influenced these game is the almighty dollar.
>>4311631When did I ever used the word invalidates? Please stop trying to put words in my mouth.
>>4312190I mean, you're clearly and obviously wrong, because of course Fate/Stay Night influenced the other Fate games, it created the entire setting.But even setting that possible oversight aside, it's pretty easy to point out a very specific example of the storyline from the Extra games influencing F/GO's.story. Two of the Lostbelts in F/GO, Olympus and Avalon, are Lostbelts precisely because they handled the threat of Velber 02 as originally introduced in Extella differently. In the Atlantic Lostbelt, Zeus combined the Twelve Machine Gods and drove off Velber 02, which is why they still have physical bodies in Olympus. And in the British Lostbelt, the Faeries never forged Excalibur, so there was nothing to stop Velber from destroying all of Earth's human civilizations and most of the land, which is why it's built on top of Cernunnons in the first place.
>>4312204Oh my god shut up. You're just talking but your ass now. "Oh they share terminology so that clearly means everything in FGO is influenced by Extra". Shut up and stop kissing the Extra games ass loser
>>4312204This is the result of someone with no life people. Seriously anon no one here gives a fuck. We're all here to talk about yuri. Take your need shit somewhere else https://youtu.be/IRsPheErBj8?si=oJMG7yaHCRAE4eoC
>>4312204Anon you're using the word influence wrong. There's no direct influence on FGO's story from Extra's story. To have influence over FGO that would mean it changes or has impacts FGOs story in some kind of way. Since the LB stories are not impacted in at from by the Extra story said story can't really influence it, especially if the writers are mostly the same people. That's like saying a superhero movie influenced another superhero movie just because they have a shared reference between them. Now if something Hakuno did had an impact on Gudako's story, or if key elements of Extra directly impacted FGO, than I would agree that FGOs story is influenced by Extra. Since both games are independent of each other you're wrong in saying Extra influenced FGO. Also I a company can't take influence from themselves when it's the same writers for the most part. That's like Takeuchi saying he was influenced by his own Artoria drawing when drawing Jeanne or Morgan. Can Nasu's writing really influence Nasu's writing?
>>4311780At first I thought "No matter how you look, you can't see anything other than Morgan". But I suppose mistaking her for Kiyohime is fair enough, if you haven't seen Summer Morgan yet.>>4312191By your phrasing, it sounded to me like "If we're getting Kazuradrop anyways, then there was no need for another BB", after all, you were questioning the necessity of one, in the presence of the other, and relegating something as "unnecessary" is invalidating it. But if that's not what you meant, then I'll retract my words.
>>4312204>of course Fate/Stay Night influenced the other Fate gamesHow humble of Nasu to be so influenced by his own writing >>4312228No apparently Nasu is just a really arrogant guy.
>>4312228>if key elements of Extra directly impacted FGOInb4 Velber in Part 3 because Extella is dead. The way I view FGO is that they're using it to, occasionally, actually make use of a bunch of Nasuverse crap that would otherwise never really be used anyway. Like ORT, which would otherwise only have remained some big boogeyman.
>>4312624
>>4312218>We're all here to talk about yuri.There's nothing much to talk about then.
No matter how much time passes these two are still great together.
I wish there was more Artoria x Morgan.More Artoria in general honestly...
Is Prisma iliya yuri? Is there a lot of yuri content? I specifically want to consider this the title is separate from the general Fate universe, because I heard that there are a lot of Yuri, is that so?
>>4314796It's a mixed bag. The answer you got to this same question in the general thread was pretty accurate. There's a lot of girl-on-girl action sure, even if a lot of it is overly fetishized or played as a joke. I will say though that while the whole brother-complex bit is largely a moot point as a romantic axis, as was pointed out, what they left out was that Shiro does nevertheless have a pretty substantial part in the story later on that is kinda detrimental, especially if you're looking for something "separate from the general Fate universe."
>>4314796The relationships between the three girls are fantastic. There's nothing quite like that in all of Fate. The manga might or might not end in explicit yuri but it's the best thing we have.
>>4316235
>>4311645Many new servants are getting swimsuit ascensions recently, it's probably so they don't have to make actual summer alts of them in the future plus fanservice
>>4316544Probably more fanservice. She might still get a swimsuit alt one day. Look at servants like Nito, Melt, and even Ishtar. All their regular outfits are more revealing than their summer swimsuits.
>>4316235>>4316236Adorable.More and more I wish Protea Alter wasn't just a Costume...I'm also reminded of how Gudako would rayshift into a Singularity's airspace from time to time. When was the last time? Shimosa?
>>4316790
>>4316791
>>4316792
>Kazuradrop's third component is actually Ashiarai Yashiki, a giant hairy foot/raccoon monsterNo wonder Kazuradrop doesn't want to revealed it at all. What the hell was BB thinking?
>>4316573Yeah but they weren't actually swimsuits.If it's not a swimsuit it's not a swimsuit!
>>4317367As long as the 'summer ascension' doesn't actually stand out (see Proto Merlin having an entirely different pose for example or, you know, Summer Morgan) it doesn't really count. Like, sure, she has a swimsuit, but so does Nobukatsu and nobody thinks he's half a summer servant.
Is there a reason why people have been drawing Gudako being caught by Protea Alter? Also how's Kazuradrop been in this latest story?
>>4311610Which proves your bad taste for writing and nothing else.
>>4317905BB is just a vehicle for the Sakura route of CCC. And Sakura's route literally shuts down any connection to the servants Hakuno runs around with. She's literally there to cuck Nero or Tamamo snd nothing else. She isn't even the proper main villain because that goes to Kiara.
>>4317917Ironically barely anyone remembers Kiara today, and people see BB as the lovable villain to a majority of fans.
>>4317876>KP AlterIt's from the OC3 Climax. After defeating the final boss, Ritsuka begins falling to her death with no Servants available. A distressed KP Alter basically pushes herself to the run and catch her. Once caught, she goes full tsundere saying it was easy and was not worth the effort. It should be noted she was near death at this point, having tanked a Beast NP and multiple beams from Mooncell. OC3 really does alot for KP Alter, making her a distinct character from the normal KP. I almost wish she was her own 5 Star Servant. Almost.>KazuradropPredictably, she betrays BB Dubai, takes Hakuno hostage. and tries to usurp her. Turns out both saw it coming and she gets literally beheaded for that. She gets better though.
>>4317969>I almost wish she was her own 5 Star Servant. Almost.It's kinda hard to make her her own character because the whole 'being super big' gimmick kind of only works once (especially said size is part of the character identity). A different costume and appropriate voice lines is the best here, I'd say.>>4317959Wasn't Kiara on OC3, too. And she usually always gets brought up in convos about a CCC remake in regards to Extra Record.
>>4317969>I almost wish she was her own 5 Star Servant. Almost.Me, on the other hand:>>4316790>More and more I wish Protea Alter wasn't just a Costume...Very much wish she was her own Servant.>>4318009>the whole 'being super big' gimmick kind of only works onceI don't know what you mean by that.>A different costume and appropriate voice lines is the best here, I'd say.I wouldn't.Like I said a couple times before, Protea's animations don't fit Protea Alter's personality. Plus, now that we aren't restrained by having the cam all the way zoomed in anymore (or at least shouldn't, after that "Moon Rise Obsession" Boss Fight), they could make a Protea Alter Servant and have her standing up instead of curled to fit the screen.
>>4318331>I don't know what you mean by that.Everything about regular Protea already makes use of everything that a ' normal alter' that wasn't just a seasonal servant would already make use of. This isn't like Jeanne versus Jeanne Alter where, ignoring Jalter's existential circumstances, it's logical than a version of Jeanne that's pissed off and vengeful would harness the flames that burned her. Just to name an example. In comparison what does Protea Alter have that really sets her apart from regular Protea that isn't largely just cosmetic in nature? Like a special power that only she has that could serve as an NP over Airavata, King Sized?
>>4317969The KP Alter info sounds really cute. Can't say I feel the same with Kazuradrop. She never interested me much and this didn't really make me care for her. >>4318009Did you forget Bunyan exists and is also a giant servant? >>4318344With all the unnecessary amounts of Artoria copies we have in FGO I don't see why having another version of Protea is a bad thing.
>>4318465Bunyan is also a joke servant and not big 24/7. To me there's nothing setting both Protea's apart that aren't absolutely superficial in nature. Clearly, you think differently. So agree to disagree.
>>4318344Naruhodo.A fair point. But unfortunately, I won't be able to give you a proper answer until LB7 gets released in english. That said, as far as I know, Protea Alter also has Xochitonal added to her spirit origin, and that addition could possibly give her a new NP (that, and my idea of having her stand up in battle, which would never happen, should be more than enough to justify being a separate Servant).Alternatively, we could pretend to still be in early game and just pull a Artoria/Salter/Santa!Salter or Eliza/Halloween!Eliza who have the exact same NP (tho for the Artorias they nowadays are technically different, animation-wise that is).Lastly,I honestly think that the difference in their personalities, which would also influence how they fight, already is enough to justify making different Servants, personally anyways, so like you said to that other Anon, "agree to disagree" I suppose.
>>4318473I'm not that other anon but yeah I hard disagree with you here.
>>4319746Happy Halloween~ everyone.Considering that Kazuradrop's event will go on for a few more days, guess FGO won't have a Halloween event this year again, huh?Or is Kazuradrop's event the Halloween one?
>>4321079No new Eli this year kinda sucks
>>4321903I was just waiting for the cue to say this (also, you're right):Friendly reminder that we still don't have Elizabeth JAPAN despite she showing up on Mini Eli's NP.
Latest importation batch, the two on the right being the obvious thread related ones.
>>4324246
>>4325196Gudako: I worked hard all day--Morgan, lemme borrow your lap!Gudako: I just want to sleep here, smells nice. Hm?Gudako thoughts: She's really glaring at me... She's staring at me through the gap in the veil....! Am I heavy? I she going to get mad at me!?Morgan thoughts: cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute don't ever leave me cute cute cute cute cute cute

>>4328215
Gogh/Clytie is now literally and unironically a Minecraft character. I'll at least take her over Jack Black.
Forgot to complain about Asterios getting an Animation Update... I was going to question if anyone even cares about Asterios, but going by YouTube comes, I guess he's actually quite well liked? Oh well...No one can convince me that the likes of Alexander, Lu Bu, Fionn and Georgios are more popular choices than Mata Hari and many other female choices still stuck with early game animations...>>4328533Well, I like Minecraft, wasn't for my lack of time and my ever increasing backlog, I'm sure I would waste quite something on it, so that's nice. Tho her mannerism seems considerably different from her usual self, and I even thought that her Ascensions wouldn't have the more alien appearances her Foreigner self has . . . but it turns out she's a welfare, so there goes having other designs......However, her "Existence Outside the Domain" passive decreased from A to D, so Vulthoom's influence indeed decreased a lot.
>>4329216Alexander rides on Iskandar's coattails, so yeah, absolutely is more popular. And Lu Bu is well liked from Extraverse. So that's two at least answered, I hope.
>>4329491>Alexander rides on Iskandar's coattailsYeah, I figured that one, just wanted to complain anyways, as I quite dislike him (due to fanarts I accidentally saw).>And Lu Bu is well liked from ExtraverseI had no idea he showed up in the Extra games.... . . can he speak there? I can understand Herc being somewhat popular since he's one of the OGs and because of his determination to protect Illya, but did Lu Bu had anything other than being "Herc at home"?
>>4329503Nope, Lu Bu doesn't talk. Though in Extella he is shown to have coherent thoughts. He was also Rani's servant in Extra.
>>4329216Ehhhh, its fine. I mean, what female characters have stock animations left to update? Mata Hari, Nursery Rhyme... that's kinda it. Theres like 10 more men with stock animations too.And yeah there's some characters in need of an update even without the stock animations, but its a good sign they're working on ANYONE after what, 2 years without an animation update at all, now we get both the Jeannes and a 1 star? the rest will come.
>>4329646I see. Guess it's at least in part due to association then.Thank you for the insight.>>4329874I like your optimism and hope you're right.As for female Servants with the most basic of basic animations (a.k.a. "caster balls" or similar), that I remember, along with Nursery and Mata Hari, there's also Helena. But Mary (and Anne) still just swings her sword in like 2 patterns to all her animations, not to mention that we have double Servants appearing in battle together for quite some time now, and yet Mary and Anne and their summer version weren't updated to match... half of your pic related is also one that urgently needs an update, since she just boringly hits the enemies with some farm tools.So the ones with early game animations that I want to have updates are:>Nursery>Nitocris>Quetz (specially want to either change her animation to a "non-constrict"(?) one, or some other lucha move)>Xuanzang>Mary and Anne (vanilla and summer)>Serenity>Mata Hari>Salter Lancer>Helena>Mama (tho she needs the other 2 Shiten'no to be released before that so that the weapons she uses on NP can stay accurate)>Shuten>Ibaraki>DaVinci (yeah, yeah, she's dead, but still)>Ozy>Caster GilThe next ones are welfares, so getting updates will never ever happen but:>Archer Nobu>Santa Salter>Halloween ElizaTho ideally they would update everyone stuck with early game animations, except 1 that doesn't deserve to be updated, mentioned, remembered, or even exist.
>>4329938So do you hate david or orion more?And would you steal Artemis for yourself?
Gray attracting bad girls was a cute gag.
>>4331263>So do you hate david or orion more?The one I hate the most is option 3: fergus.But between david and orion, I definitely hate orion way more, but in the subject of animation updates, updating "orion" really means updating Artemis, and even if I wanted to deny Artemis of her update because of my hatred for orion, the moment they released the muscle version of him, I already lost that battle... accursed devs... I'll never not be salty over this, there are several versions of the myths where Artemis herself kills orion for a variety of reasons, and yet we had to have her being uselessly in love with him...>And would you steal Artemis for yourself?I don't self-insert.Either way, as much as I'd like to ship Artemis with Gudako, her current state is so utterly ruined that I can't even do that... even the likes of Semiramis and Bryn have traits other than being in love, they are completely sidelined, but they at least exist. Artemis on the other hand only have "being in love with orion and jealous of his unfaithfulness"... anyways... Ideally, Artemis should have been summoned like Quetz, using a human vessel, and not have orion attached to her at all, that way, maybe she could be a little more dignified, be the goddess of hunt she's supposed to be...>Hunting Festival Event, a.k.a. Artemisfest>Lots of interactions between Artemis and Atalanta (without it just being Atalanta embarrassed about how Artemis ended up being)>I could also see a serious Artemis getting along pretty well with Shishou, Ushi and some others>LB5 could have Gudako along with an enraged Artemis fighting against her fellow gods (or even conflicted over if she should really be fighting against them instead of with them)Etc, etc, sorry for the rant.

>>4336276I'm intrigued that it feels like the manga is reaching endgame, but at the same time, we are still in chapter 38 (translated), compared to the current 66 chapters of the RAWs, not to mention that it's still at the Fourth Knot out of seven from the game.>>4334893Rare. Too rare.
>>4336276>>4336681Gudako's daughter and her daughter's gf are too cute.
>>4338037
>>4336276When the fuck are they gonna add Lavinia to the game...
>>4338441I like how Gudako can make the usually charming Mordred blush
Santa Abby!
>>4340617She can dance with Gudako in her NP
With Louhi being summonable, these are the High Servant components we don't have yet:>Leviathan>Saraswati>Apsara>Titan(ia)>Airavata>Pixie>Ashiarai Yashiki (Hairy Foot/Tanuki monster)>Pele>Nyarlathotep>Shen>Yaobikuni (True)>Freyja>Itzpapalotl>Chernobog>Safu>Norns(?)>Ame no Mahitotsu>Shennong>Azi Dahaka>Bahloo
>>4340617AND AGAIN >>4338441
>>4340753She could be a 4* in the same banner as Louhi. Hell, even a limited FP banner would be better than nothing. If they don't add her in this event she will never be added.
>>4340788Seems tragically unlikely given there's never been anything but a new 5-Star alongside the welfare at Christmas...
>>4340656Now we just need to wait for the release, since promotional stuff only ever uses gudao.>>4340687Give me Chernobog and Azi Dahaka and I'll be satisfied.>>4340753>>4340788>>4340806It's probably worth noting that Arc2 ends next year... Greed will probably take us to Arc3, but you never know.
>>4340841Promotional stuff barely even uses any Guda anymore. You gotta hand it to Fate. So many new games out that try to give a bigger role to the MC and make them more of a character. Yet here's FGO giving the Master that's saving all of humanity less and less presence in all of their promotional material. I can't remember the last time either of them were in a PV for an event or major story.
>Do the GSSR>Gold Sparks>Pretender card>Hephaestus>"Cool, good start I guess.">couple of 3* and CEs until second to last pull, then rainbow sparks>Assassins>It's Semiramis>"Ah shit. Well it was the risk I took. Can't win 'em-">Last roll>Golden Assassin card>It's Gramps Hassan>"..."That certainly was a weird turnabout.
Abby being the 1st servant to have a NP that involves Gudako is interesting. I would've thought it would've been Mash.
>>4340841https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U4C75tX3Vc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmGcOGf5BskCuteness warning, proceed at your own risk.Btw, pic related was made by Louhi's artist.>>4341213True, but we went over this already, and there's no hope for Lasagna.I meant more the news explanations and shit, whenever there's a screenshot where the Master shows up, it's always gudao. Sure, they probably never even thought about it, but I did, and in turn it frustrates me.>>4341269Adorable.>>4341791Well, at least you got Gramps. For some reason it seems he really likes showing up from GSSR. Because of my main target at the time, there was 2 instances where I rolled a banner he was present in the GSSR, and both times he showed up (tho in my case it was only him), so I got him in 2 GSSR back to back.In this one I got Musashi, who have been eluding me since forever, so I'm satisfied.>>4342160At this point Abby basically hijacked Mashu's position (everything but being Kouhai I guess).>>4342252Beautiful, truly the greatest welfare.
>>4342382To be honest, I wouldn't even have minded Semiramis consider it was a 'cheaper' GSSR so it's like "just gonna use her as interlude/strengthen fodder since I have no gameplay need for her". But yeah, second GSSR Gramps for me. I thought it was 'offer thine head' not 'offer thine quartz'.
>>4342160I believe that they'll have an Endgame Mash have Guda in her NP. Especially now that they have a sprite to work with.

>>4349654As someone who doesn't give 2 fucks about Tsukihime, that's especially egregious to me... not to mention the fact that Arc's vanilla version is still worthless for players that don't know, don't care or don't like Tsukihime (I wonder how many FGO players are also Tsukihime fans), but I guess the vanilla made enough money if they already made . . . this new one.During the Foreigner OC, I'll expect a new 6* Foreigner Abby as an apology (the 6* is a joke, obviously, but I WILL want a new 5* one, and she better be one of the best Servants to date, one of those meta breaking ones . . . and give me Lavinia).Or they could also give me pic related... Never ever.
>>4349754The worst part is how uninspiring Santa Arc is. She's a santa/magic girl/streamer. It just feels like they just mixed random things together to make her. The lack of creativity really shows here. Even worse we get the het version of her. I've said this before and I'll say it again I don't care about Arc, I don't know a damn thing about Arc, and I never bothered watching/playing any game/show that her character came from.
>>4349754>I wonder how many FGO players are also Tsukihime fansIn Japan? Probably a fuck load considering that once upon a time, FGO only had being a Fate game going for it with such atrocious quality Type Moon had to step in to fix shit. Only the most hardcore moontard could keep that ship afloat to last that long. The first part of the remake has also been out long enough in JP to draw in new fans.>>4350166She's a Carnival Phantasm reference. That's what the whole Phantasmoon is about. She even does the part of the dance in one of her animations.
>>4350217I don't think the anon cares about where the references came from. Honestly I don't know how many people here care for her at all. I'm hearing she talks about Shiki multiple times in the game
>>4350241Yeah, well, we aren't the general fandom. We're just a relatively small niche, and I think trying to question Arcueid's general popularity within the fandom is stupid. Yeah, it sucks. But no one is forcing us to roll for her. Especially not when Louhi's much better, permanent and more /u/ friendly. Everything else is just a waste of energy.
>>4350257I was questioning why they combined so many elements into a Santa version of her. Where did you get me questioning her popularity from? I don't care if you like her or not I'm just saying I don't give a damn about her.
>>4350271Ans to follow up I do find it funny that you are telling others not to waste energy when you're the one making a bigger deal out of my throw away comment than even I am.
The only thing I'm personally surprised by is that she wasn't drawn by Takeuchi.
>>4350289He's too busy playing with his new Ferrari.
>>4349654>>4349754It's weird because, technically, it's two different Christmas events back to back from what I'm reading on reddit. With Arc's part also being time gated. As in, the epilogue will be available for 6 hours before closing.
>>4350166>Even worse we get the het version of her.This (yeah, yeah, this version is the protag of her series, but still).While me too never played the VN/game, I did watch the anime many moons ago. It was a cool anime I think, but yeah, can't really care about Arc either. When she was first released I was still willing to at least care about her 3rd Ascension, but the Devs decided they didn't want to make her appealing in any way, shape or form.>>4350217>how many FGO players are also Tsukihime fans>ManyI see.>>4350257You are absolutely correct.Yet I can't help but feel a little frustrated. If they just made Arc the Santa Servant of this year, I would just not care, but they went the extra mile to meme Abby out of the spotlight, and this is nothing short of heresy.>>4350300I thought they just unceremoniously dropped this new Arc into the game, so she's having her own Event too? This makes what I said above even worse.
>>4350704>I thought they just unceremoniously dropped this new Arc into the game, so she's having her own Event too? This makes what I said above even worse.Well it was Arc's birthday when she dropped. And the entire thing legit feels like a sort of countdown to new years. There's also gonna be a Type Moon stream on New Year's Eve. Which makes me think the New Year's servant is also going to be Tsukihime related since they might officially reveal Red Garden's release date. Arc also has a line about how she's 'banned from that part because of all the blood'.Also, if nothing else, Abby still has Gudako in her NP. Hard to beat that.
>Started LB7>Phone already started stutteringIt isn't going to survive the spider, is it?Also, got pretty surprised with Kuku attacking the Storm Border, didn't think she would be hostile like that.>>4350739>Which makes me think the New Year's servant is also going to be Tsukihime relatedIt'll be Tohno, won't it?...>Also, if nothing else, Abby still has Gudako in her NP. Hard to beat that.That's certainly true.Still want another Abby for the OC tho. And she gotta be Foreigner again. I wonder how people would react to her having 3 different versions in the same class (then again, BB already did that, but all Abby's versions would be 5*, except the non-Foreigner, Santa one, of course).
>>4350776>It'll be Tohno, won't it?...Possibly. Could also be Roa. Or Noel, since Ciel and Arc actually spoke about how similar Elizabeth and her are.>Still want another Abby for the OC thoLooking forward to that fucked up story. That better be some Carcossa-tier shit.
>>4350795>Possibly. Could also be Roa. Or Noel,The names are familiar, but I can't put faces to them.>Looking forward to that fucked up story. That better be some Carcossa-tier shit.We having Cthugha and Vulthoom (which are less well known, as far as I'm concerned), but never getting Hastur will be actually insanity.
>>4350837>The names are familiar, but I can't put faces to them.Roa is the dude that Arcueid transformed into a vampire, Noel is the church chick working with Ciel.
>>4350909*Googling*Oh... now I can put a face to their names, but that's about it, as an anime only (and the anime is quite old), I don't even know if they showed up there.. . .Also, can't say this Noel girl looks like Eliza at all... unless it's personality instead of appearance.
>>4351412>as an anime onlyThere is no anime. Meme aside, the anime used a more SHIKI appearance for Roa than his form from when took over the body completely (that's where the Near and Far Side route split: either Roa is in control, or SHIKI remains in control and gets a power boost).>Also, can't say this Noel girl looks like Eliza at all... unless it's personality instead of appearance.Regular Noel maybe, but Dead Apostle Noel has some similarities.
Anything potentially gay in Fate Strange Fate?>noWell, it was worth asking.
>>4353086The gayest Fate is Prisma Illya.The gayest TM is HibiChika.That's about it.
>>4353086Richie is potentially bi, since there's the whole discussion of his real life counterpart being bi. But that's kinda it, I believe. I'm not really knowledgeable about FSF. I don't think it even has any romance at all.
>>4353086There's Gil and Enkidu, but that's not the kinda gay we want.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD-FPbegHFI>Artoria Caster and Cnoc na Riabh on a dateExcuse me while I nibble on this crumb like a rabid mouse.
>>4353189Yorokobe, shoujo
>>4351424>There is no anime.Naruhodo.>but Dead Apostle Noel has some similarities.I guess.>>4353189I'll post this to celebrate, since it's still very cute.
Would you guys mind a giantess yuri pic with kind of an exaggerated rear end? It's GudaMash, and I figure it's probably ok since Fate has a weirdly high amount of giantess stuff, but I still wanted to make sure to ask.
So... I went for the Meta Casters Banner for the GSSR, since from it I only have Castoria and Merlin, so any of the other 4 would be welcome (or in the worst case, getting an extra copy of Castoria or Merlin wouldn't be the worst thing), and:>Unceremonious Golden Card>Skadi>"Yosh! Now I can make my Molay hit a little harder.">Another unceremonious Golden Card>I raise an eyebrow>Bonus Merlin>"Naisu. Got a new Servant and still got NP2 Merlin.">Golden Sparks>"N-Nani?">Circe>"Oh, I see.">Another golden sparks>Visible fear>"Is this another Circe?">It was another CirceOverall, excellent result.And now I have NP8 Circe I guess.Now, meta question if anyone can answer:Aside from Skadi, is there any other good Quick support?I vehement refuse to use duplicate Servants, so I don't use any of the "Double [Servant] System", and that applies to different versions of the same Servant, so no Skadi+Summer!Skadi.Also, regarding pick related, it seems Birdhatter sold the Molay x Gudako doujin at Comiket105, I wonder if they'll also sell it online... because then maybe I could get it along with >>4344150.>>4353506Déjà vu.Not my prefered kind of fetish, but I don't see why not. If you really think the folks still sticking with me in these threads won't like it, just post it under spoiler.
>>4353189They had to put fake commercial in the tittlebecause some like Koyanskaya feel a legit perfum commercial
>>4353696>Aside from Skadi, is there any other good Quick support?It's pretty dire to be honest. Off the top of my head, there isn't a single non-Skadi servant that has a (non-self) 3 turn 50% quick buff, so you're looking at either single turn buffs or lower magnitude 3 turn buffs. Ruler da Vinci, Louhi, Wu Zetian, Zhang Jue, Azumi no Isora, Helena, Takasugi Shinsaku, Voyager, Chiron. None of them are really great though.
Went with the single target Berserker banner, since I have none of the three and got Ecchan. So I count that as a super success.
Lancer AoE was where I went, there were either NP dupes of farmers I use fairly regularly or brand new servants. Got my first Ereshkigal and am quite satisfied with that result.
>>4353696Strictly gameplaywise, Nero Bride, Reines, and Oberon are your best bets if you want to avoid duplicate servants for some reason when it comes to Quick support. Quick really wants at least 100% card type effectiveness, but only Skadi really provides that.>deja vuIf there's more content like this, I'd be ecstatic to find it. Anyway, the pic in question. I think it's cute more than anything... but I understand I'm the minority.
>>4353696>Birdhatter's Molay DoujinHoly shit I need a copyNo mail order... maybe I can find a copy on Republic.
>AoE Saber Banner>Proto-ArthurFucking FUCK he was the only one I didn't want dammit
>>4353696>Quick SupportWell let's see, there's Skadi, and then Skadi, and... yeah that's about it.Voyager can add a bit post-upgrade. Osakabehime but just with her NP which is obviously unwieldy. Then Zetian, Zhang Jue, Rikyu, Wang, Takasugi and Bakin can all contribute a little bit, but they're hardly meta-defining like Skadi.If you're really so against Doubles, Takasugi is probably your best bet since he's got the best crit buff out of the lot to synergize with Quick's star-production niche.
>>4353792So Charlie and Shirou would've been fine?
>>4353802Charlie I like his dynamic with his Knights, and I just plain like Muramasa. Might be blasphemy to say on /u/, but as much as I wanted Ibuki or Shiki, or an NP point for Okita Alter, either of those two would have been preferable to fuckin' Arthur.
>>4353748>>4353777>>4353796Yeah, I'm aware of the Quick situation... so I guess, excluding the ones not available on EN yet (and the ones I don't have, such as Bride, who I have yet to get), it comes down to Wu, Mini DaVinci and Helena for me then.I'll have to see when Takasugi becomes summonable, but unfortunately, he isn't that high of a priority.. . .Well, at the end of the day, it's not like I NEED to use Quick, I just wanted to increase the viability of using Molay.Either way, thank you for the insight you three.>>4353766>>4353775Congrats~>>4353791You seem to know your stuff. If you happen to find copies available to buy, please let me know too.>>4353792Sorry to read that Anon...This is precisely the reason why I mark certain Servants as "landmines" and thus don't go for any banners containing them, no matter how much I want the other ones (tho I guess if there wasn't any other banner of interest, then there was no other choice).>>4353806Personally, I also like Muramasa, what I hate is his vessel, and that alone is enough to be a dealbreak for me.
>JP gonna get a feature where we get to pick a servant from one of the main 7 to become Grands>they can use their bond CE and a normal one at the same timeThat's actually pretty neat
All right, ladies, I've leveled up my yuri-wedding-dress-making fairy to 116, but now I need more damn coins (and grails) to get her to 120.What do you all think? Should I blow my 2 million FP to see if I can get the 2 extra copies I need, or should I be a meta whore and wait for the next FP campaign? That'd be about... 11 months away :( What would you do?
>>4353696>>4353854https://doujinrepublic.com/product/product_page_2003096497.html
>>4354372And of course it went up for mail order much cheaper after I already put in an order on the after-market site, fucking fuck...https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=2741182
>>4354371Since your also lackibg grails, I would just see what you get from dailies until you get the required amount.
>>4354469Oh, I'll have enough from LB7 and the end of the New Year's campaign.I caved btw. Took 500k FP, but that's an acceptable blow considering my reserve was 2 mil. As long as I have enough to roll NP5 Hakunon when she comes out, I'm good.
>>4354479Pretty sure we'll have at least one more lottery before Hakunon hits.
>>4354296Aren't quite a few, if not most, of the Bond CEs actually useless?>>4354372>>4354378Sorry to read that Anon...But many thanks for the links. I really appreciate it.>>4354849Surprisingly rare.
>>4355336>Aren't quite a few, if not most, of the Bond CEs actually useless?Useless compared to actual CEs, but if servant can run them in conjuction? Now that's a different topic. Morgan's for example isn't a CE you'd really run on its own, but an additional 15% to both her niches on top of whatever you use with her as a regular damage CE helps with her damage. Now imagine you actually got a great Bond CE like Heracles. Put that on him and then use a CE like Volume Hydragon and watch him be even more unkillable.
>>4353854>>4355336Why is Gudako x Molay so rare to see? It's not like Molag doesn't obviously like Gudako
>>4355797Most people just don't care for Molay.
>>4355353That makes sense.>>4355797I would blame it on the fact that we are way past the "novelty days" or something like that, of FGO, and aside from when Castoria and Morgan came out, we'll never go back to the days of Jalter and Melt, as most artists moved on to other games, be they either more recent or more popular.

>>4355884I'll admit I was ambivalent towards her besides just "Succubus Mommy Hot", until I got her Valentine's Scene, which completely sold me on her. Now she's one of my favorites.
Oh look, Kama got an NP upgrade, and it seems to be pretty good.

>The things Hakuno wants to do with BB Dubai are to eat cakes, omurice, onigiri, go to concerts, play games, read manga by new Wada memoThank you for the crumb, Wada.
>>4360626Jackie confirmed Gudako's favorite daughter
>>4360626Unironically one of the best servants to deal with Raikou and Shuten in Shimousa.
>>4361333My Jack always comes out when there's a female servant involved. I like that it's a payoff to seeing Jack earlier worrying about her mom.
