Fate/Grand Order - English

[pinetree]

Question: Was 1st appearance Rashoumon Event in JP have like 1 day Class Oni Hand changes? I mean Archer and Assassin hands get 2 days. the rest got shafted for one day and Berserker gets a whopping 5 fucking days. If NA changed the days, I would be pissed right now since I could not clear Lancer Missions in 1 day due to work and stuff.

Why the hell would NA change anything? The event's schedule is just originally retarded.

Honestly, a lot of the whining is just "waah, i didn't get more free quartz" (as per usual), but missing Lores, any missing content (which I'm counting the lack of subtitles as), the QoL, and the issues with Aniplex's FGO department being insufficiently staffed are all completely legit.

yeah, it would be nice to get as much quartz as the Japanese server, but that's a tertiary issue in my eyes as is the fact that the $80 pack gives us 140 SQ while it give 167 SQ on all the other servers (though again it doesn't bother me because I'm f2p so I can understand whales being upset about it). Given that we're supposed to be getting the "JP experience" there is no excuse for us missing out on Lores and the stuff with Kintoki.

But why increase the budget if people already pay for it in its current state

because there are more and more Japanese gacha games coming over to bite into their bottom line. Girls Frontline recently screwed up with the censorship fiasco, but it's growing quickly and if there are alternatives that provide better service to the costumer then FGO NA will take a hit. Putting out a better product than there competitors or at least remaining competitive is in the best interest of the company.

Make sure the shotcallers at Aniplex USA know that too

[SpoonyViking]

I don't understand; other than subtitled dialogue, what lore are we missing?

Carp #12 has dropped.

Nope should be same rates. That is still crap and very low, but consistent. So it can't be taken as fault for the NA server, as it's something for all of GO.

Wait, and people still complain to the US team that our rates are low...? That seems a little pointless and just plain rude. but Humans.

Well, I read those "discussion" on that video and reddit, well, they ignore the fact that......

1. NA got lots of QoL update (such as bond 10, 20 cards rather than 5, master missions) way before CN, TW and KR server do, and NA still being the most "updated" among the 4.
2. They ignored the fact that in terms of quarts give-away, TW is one of the most tight-assed: 15 login quarts instead of 20
3. The same old "NA should catch up" BS again. Please, FGO is not, and should not be a time sink. F2P or not, a slower phasing is good thing for anyone who has a RL commitment.
4. Sometimes, the how much per quarts is more about the exchange rate issue (when the shop is coded) rather than marketing.
5. Compare with chinese and korean, English is a totally different language to Japanese. It is not that easy to fit a long english paragraph into a dialogue box fitted for japanese.
6. Staff in western world, even if they are casual/contracted, has a much higher pay rate than those in Asia, and there is much less whale in NA.

Conclusion: apart from the subtitle, I see most of those "arguments" just whining.

Plumbing the depths of Reddit, is nice that people are trying to offer up actual data and comparison now, rather than reams of whining and hearsay.

if people already pay for it in its current state

More reason to increase the budget

[rockitten]

More reason to increase the budget

Who's budget?

[Wandering Swordwoman]

my budget

[Strange_One]

Lol.

Talking about USA I guess. Leaving aside that one of the most profitable mobile games could afford to be less stingy and gib moar quartz add things like safety features.

As others have discussed, US team could use more people and resources for marketing, events, guests & stuff over the basic streams, Facebook posts and appearances at cons.
Also maybe scoop up more people for translation and QC.

5. Compare with chinese and korean, English is a totally different language to Japanese. It is not that easy to fit a long english paragraph into a dialogue box fitted for japanese.

And yet, that is a translator's job. Or perhaps a coder, who can figure out a way to either display all the text, or add in an extra line or two without breaking the game.

6. Staff in western world, even if they are casual/contracted, has a much higher pay rate than those in Asia, and there is much less whale in NA.

For a game that, at its peak points, gets into the top 10 paid apps on the store, that argument doesn't hold much water.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

They know that the number of staff is not sufficient enough. Why don't they increase their staff for this then? Do they want to people feel sorry?

[eddyak]

Probably somebody higher up in the chain doesn't have a clue what the team's workload actually is, and since things aren't on fire, they aren't being sued, and there aren't any CNN reports making them look bad, they don't give a shit otherwise.

a board meeting, probably:
"yeah, just get, like, a couple guys on computers, and we get a shitton of money"
"fuck yeah"
"fuck yeah what?"
"fuck yeah sir?"
"better"

[Wandering Swordwoman]

lmao

The conversation is probably accurate :v

When will we get animation update for Herc and others? Surely you can't say once per six months?

Honestly? Probably when Agatha comes around, considering no other animation update has come early since the FSN batch I'm not optimistic about it happening again.

Don't look here. You'll notice there's no rubytext either, despite the fact that it'd help immensely.

[TagumonYatsuray]

What if they shrunk the font 3 pt sizes less? Ie: 15pt to 12pt

That stream may have been awkward, but the F/GO NA as a whole, seems fine to me. I’m not sure about missing lore, but the plot seems comprehensible to me, so I don’t care for any minor oversights

[eddyak]

Ibaraki just died, get your lores while you can!
