Fate/Grand Order - English

[Reign]

I don’t know what a lost belt or EoR is

part 2 and part 1.5 of the story, respectively

[pinetree]

Y'know, I was thinking (as one does)... since EoR is technically "Season 1.5" and, more importantly, not a requirement for advancing to CitL, what if after finishing the part 1 storyline we jumped directly to the Lostbelt prologue, and got the various EoR chapters released in the lull periods for people to play whenever they want?

DW insists EoR isn't required, yet two of the major protagonists of part 2 joins us there, a major antagonist is presented there, a lot of the Lostbelt prologue relies on conflicts presented in it, and it foreshadows a bunch of stuff.

It is "part 1.5" in name only tbh

part 2 and part 1.5 of the story, respectively

is this like a thing on the App Store or...?

[Reign]

is this like a thing on the App Store or...?

It'll be the same app, just a big update when the time comes. We still don't have it in NA.

[Iceblade44]

Just ignore it until when it's important basically.

But yeah this is a question more for the general thread.

[Tobias]

Oh cool. Guess that means I’m not gonna have to get all my old servants again

was worried about that

[Deathhappens]

I mean, I didn't mean to spoil anything, but this is pretty solidly an NA-related question.

True, but the majority of content there (as I understand things at least) is still mostly filler.

I guess I'm just hoping against hope that we can eventually overcome the 2 years behind thing, because by Jove it is already getting old.

[pinetree]

It's as much filler as Orleans or Okeanos I'd say. So not at all.

[eddyak]

We're not going to catch up with JP. That's a straight-up fact.

We are almost definitely gonna get a lot closer than we are, though, since JP's had entire months of literally nothing at times, and I hope we can just skip over those empty weeks and months.

[Deathhappens]

Well, if we can shrink the distance over time, we'll catch up eventually. That's good.

[eddyak]

No, we couldn't catch up even if we cut out six months per year, because we'd hit the point at which we literally couldn't cut down any time unless we were willing to run three events at the same time, or half a dozen banners at once, or have a translator literally peeking over Nasu's shoulder as he writes.

There are months of no banners and no events, but there are also months of banners and events. And we're going to need downtime anyway, if we don't wanna burn out.

I'm one of the people who wants to get a lot closer than we currently are, but if it means we go at Korea's pace then fuck that.

[Deathhappens]

I said "eventually". As long as JP has empty weeks or months and we fill those gaps with content (leaving a break week here an there, of course), we'll catch up sooner or later. I don't feel like rushing either.

[Mattias]

What is Korea's pace? God awful slow, or breakneck fast?

[eddyak]

Even then, it isn't possible. Not difficult, impossible.

All of the content they've released in JP- all the events, the singularities, they're all time that we've got to go through. So, if there are twelve weeks' worth of events between us here just past Halloween 2016 rerun and them on the Halloween 2017 rerun, twelve weeks is how much we're permanently going to be behind by. If there's twelve months' worth of content by the time we get there, that's how long we're going to be behind by.

What is Korea's pace? God awful slow, or breakneck fast?

Korea's pace is an event every couple days, or so it was the last time I heard. They don't get downtime. I'm pretty sure they had two events or two separate banners running simultaneously at some point.

[Tobias]

Korea is always going really strong


Must be cause they got Seoul power

[Wandering Swordwoman]

Hmmm hm hm

[pinetree]

Catching up is a terrible idea, people need to translate things.

And what makes you think they're ever going to get closer to JP? I mean I'd love to be just one year behind but lol that's not happening.

We're probably going to get the same months of nothing JP did.

[Reign]

There was that Q&A thing about how in a couple months our Clairvoyance isn't going to be as accurate anymore, but that could mean anything and I probably wouldn't bet on too accelerated of a schedule.

[Draconic]

I don’t know what a lost belt or EoR is

The first is a missing article of clothing and the second is what Mattias is.

I confess I actually thought you were being facetious though.
