    It's probably better to wait until after the next event before trying to do that.

    LB1 still the best.

    LB3 was hard-carried by Xiang and Yu and EMPEROR LELOUCH and a surprise synthwave BGM, so it needed to do what it needed to do.

    LB2 is the worst, but not because its bad, just kinda phoned in and keeping the cast undersized.

    Or maybe it's not the grand Berserker but as far as i remember we got:

    Kadoc - Caster
    Ophelia - Saber
    Hinako - Rider
    Pepe - Archer
    Kirsch - Lancer
    Beryl - Assassin
    The only missing is Daybit with Berserker

    Hinako ended up with a Saber, so that's not necessarily gonna hold up.

    If Grand Berserker isn't Bödvar Bjarki then I would be seriously weirded out. :/

    Beast V (Tamamovitch) shows later in the story - perhaps even as early as LB5, although I figure she'll show up with an extra tail or two there and then as a nine-tailed Beast in one of the later ones.
    Beast VI (666) shows up in either LB6 or Prototype collab, Beast VI (Nero/Mother Harlot) shows up either there, a Fate/Extra collab, or The Final Nerofest.
    Beast VII shows up as a final boss, maybe, or during the final sequence. It's "of the end", so probably a closer of sorts. There's a non-zero chance that it's also the Alien God.

    Grand Servants show up peppered throughout, e.g. Daybit's Servant, and if they all show up in FGO rather than being saved for FGO2 or a different project then they all show up for the final showdown in Solomon 2: Electric Boogaloo.
    There's five remaining Grand Classes and fourish Lostbelts (plus any number of events), so even if they spread them out it's not hard to imagine them fitting in.


    At the same time, though, leaving stuff unutilized leaves more empty design space for later works to utilize. I'd imagine that a Grand Servant could show up in Requiem or Lord El Melloi II Files 2: Judgement Day, for instance.

    Yeah, or at least i'm asking for a norse servant goddammit

    The fact that it's suppoosed to be the grand Zerk and him not mentioning nothing really relatable to Norse mithology kinda scares me off, tbh i think that Magni and Ragnarr are possible the best suits for the Grand berserker spot because they're well known
    Also the fact that the sprite has a sort of giant arm makes me hope for the best but if it's not i'd be very pissed

    We got Hassan as Grand Assassin why the fuck they'd be not giving a norse hero the grand Berserker title if literally the class name is borrowed from Norse mythology

    Tbh my preference order is now:

    LB2 > LB1 > LB4 > LB3

    LB2 is the best for now, good plot, nice twists, enjoyable characters and no fucked up lore since Skadi is the more plausible Losbelt king we might summon, simple, clean and with a well made villain imo

    LB1 is ok, i enjoyed it but has got some aspects i really don't like for example the fact we can summon the LB's Ivan rather the original one that would be far more interesting, the plot is good tho

    LB4 is a really big mess.. horrible plot, huge power levels and so on, but at least it's really scenic so that's why i'm not putting this at last place

    LB3 is kinda ok, but i found it really boring, the only really interesting Character there was QSH and we got things to summon like the cyborg QSH and Xiang yu that really piss me off, also nothing really thrilling
    in the story

    Well, first it was Rider Xiang, then Saber Lanling + Xiang 3000, so it's still technically true!

    IIRC.

    To be honest, I'm not sure Beast-beating/befriending and Grand Servants is FGO's shtick to the point where people will be disappointed that not all of them show up. They've just been convenient tools for the plot when necessary.

    Probably in the Nautilus, I imagine he'll fire it out like a laser harpoon or something.

    I don't remember tbh, but I thought Xiang had already been upgraded to Xiang 3000 BSR when she got there. Something about her having to tell him "I'm your wife from another dimension" and him going "Huh, okay I guess"

    Honestly they're basically filler stuff for the most part out of Goetia.

    Which is why I don't get any disappointment if we don't get them all. Right now the Alien God, Apostles, Wodime and LB 5 seem more interesting to explore than X Beast messing stuff up again. I can sacrifice a few recent additions for that.

    One of my wish is to see Arjuna in the act without Karna tagging along.

    My guess is that Beast VII is us, the player, endlessly clamoring to be presented with ever growing destruction (lost belts), rejecting filler and events where everyone just wants to chill and have fun, commodifying human bonds and throwing them out when we’ve extracted everything we can from them, etc.

    The final fight will be to burn all your Servants to set them free, and to stop progressing through the story so you don’t make things worse

    You're joking, but if the 'part2 chaldea is a lostbelt' theory turns out to be true, then the final battle will actually be gudao vs gudako, and I can 100% see them doing this.

    I mean Nasu was high on undertale when writing it, so I wholly expect a delete your account ending.

    Nasu will do this if he truly intends to end FGO to start something new. The Liyo Gudako at Paul's event actually caused a pretty big backlash in the Jap player base.
