    I think FGO has the guts if they release Riyo artist gatcha servants. I mean some might like them, but it is really different from the standard designs we have. Maybe the Zheng sisters were meant to prepare us?

    I'm only counting the Golden Week collabs, so:
    - Zero: 5 Servants (welfare + 4)
    - CCC: 5 Servants (welfare + 4)
    - Apocrypha: 3 Servants (welfare + 2)
    - El-Melloi: 3 Servants (welfare + 2)
    - Requiem: 3 Servants (welfare + 2)
    - Moonlight Lostroom: 2 Servants (welfare + 1)

    Yeah, personally I'm expecting 3 or 4 Servants.

    For Zero, CCC, El Melloi, prisma and KNK one of the Servants was released for the rerun. The standard is
    - Welfare
    - One 5 star
    - Sometimes one 4 star
    Because you are too young. Or too stupid. Or both.

    No, I was talking about the first round.
    Zero had Iskandar, Kiritsugu, 100 faces, Angra and Iri. So 5 (with Saber Diarmuid in the rerun).
    CCC had Melt, Passionlip, Suzuka, Kiara and BB. Again, 5 (with Kingprotea in the rerun).
    El Melloi had Reines, Astrea and Grey (with Haephestion in the rerun).

    But it is true that Prisma and KNK were 2 Servants only collaborations, right? I think 2-3 Servant is the norm, and 4 Servants or more are the outliers.

    I wasn't counting them, just the ones that actually are labelled as collab events (Prisma and KNK were "special events" and weren't run during the Golden Week).

    Fuck, wondering if I've missed some quartz fragments now. Should we have a remainder of 5 if we've obtained all from weekly rewards and main story through Tunguska?

    I think so, given that I missed enough to even the number out before we got bonuses from an anniversary update.

    Isn't it sort of the opposite? KNK and Prisma were both labelled Collaboration Events. The Golden Week collabs started out being called Special Events, but then switched to being called Collaboration Events starting with Case Files.

    A big difference is that many of these servants were ones they already had planned. 100 faces angra and iskander were already created essentially before launch. As was Melt and Passionlip. So far this event fits with most other collabs from a production point of view. Even if you view waltz as "less" it had quite the large amount of costumes to make up for it. But raw servant wise, ignoring production, their backlog of servants and other reasons, yeah.

    Expecting Saber Vainamoinen or Archer Pecos Bill for current Event's potential rerun in the future. I'm hoping for the former, but considering the Event's theme, the latter is the likelier pick.

    I can see them being reluctant to let you beat up a pregnant woman so only Archer would be in the rerun.

    I mean if your divine shield doesn't turn your ride into a transforming mecha with a Wave Motion Cannon, then what's the point?

    Spoiler:
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.

    Wanting to share an idea for 6.5 just for fun.

    Have its premise mirrors 5.5 to make it clear that it's meant to be x.5 chapter;
    -Have an AG's Apostle as focus villain. (like with Limbo in 5.5)
    -Have the location deeply connected with the focus villain. (like with Douman at Heian in 5.5)
    -Have characters introduced in Valentine Events involved in the story. (like with Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shounagon back in 5.5)
    -Have the plot centered around the making of a Beast, with Grail War-like setup. (like the one disguised as ritual meant for Heian's prosperity in 5.5)

    Basically, turning it into a stealth collab with a certain Fate series.
