    Using Valentines as a test doesn't seem completely fair to them, but hey all the more reason.

    I will give them a chance and follow until 2.5 is done. If when it finishes we don't immediately get to Marisbury, that will be the final indication that they're far more interested in artificially extending this game's lifespan than giving it a good conclusion, and therefore there won't be much of a point to following it because even if individual chapters end up being good stories, I can just read those on their own and ignore the overarching narrative.

    Nah, the Valentine thing is to see if they will still stick to 3-week format and they keep making the third week be completely empty of content. It 's not about the story which I alrrady assume is not going to be very interesting given past Valentine events.

    I was gonna say, F/GO isn't a big investment for me anyway since I don't spend money, but the amount of time I spend translating and discussing it does make up a significant portion of my life.

    Well, what does it matter. Hopefully the meagre server costs I impose on them is spiteful enough.

    ...I feel like you could have made this less cringy if you made those extra chapters be inside CHALDEAS instead of such an obvious extension.

    Unless...

    Spoiler:
    They're so gonna do that aren't they?

    the huge delay between 6 and 7 is what finally killed of fgo for me

    And I think quite honestly, Servant related stuff in general, since I'm pretty meh towards Einherjar and Requiem.

    Also I think the glut of Servants did for it too, all these characters were a lot more interesting when they were just possibilities

    Speaking of Valentine event, I find it funny that we just got this OH NO EXTRA CLASSES BAD! then immediately roll for uwu kawaii Pope waifu Ruler right after.

    I understand that they foreshadowed this like immediately before with LB7, but I feel like I would've tolerated this a lot more if we confronted Marisbury first and then had this happen. Otherwise it's just transparent padding. Which it is.

    I see, well I don't see them changing that anytime soon unfortunately.

    I think you have all the right to be spiteful since you can earn back money, but never the time spent on translations.

    I'm on NA, and I recently returned to it after months of hiatus. I'm playing casually now and just hoarding Quartz. I keep up to date with JP's plot, whether I'm playing or not, so it's not an issue. Though it would've been nice if there's a way to bridge NA and JP.

    Yesterday, the other mobile game I played, Counter:Side just merged its JP and Global Server. So I'm wondering if FGO could do that to resolve the gap.

    Now that you mention it, that is really funny

    I didn't pay attention to that. When was it foreshadowed?



  14. #281054
    Personally, I'm gonna keep playing until End of Service. I'm just having fun.

    Romani says something about Human Order seeking retribution or something? I just remember Comun talking about it.

    Is it the one with Rasputin? I guess I was too focused on Olga's fate and the Count part.

    It's the literal last scene of LB7, lol. That's not foreshadowing, that's just continuity.

    That said, the thing Olga mentioned in LB7 about Alter-Egos not being part of normal history might qualify. Not that I think anyone could imagine it would lead to this.

    There are games that are a lot more fun and a lot less demanding

    If it's any consolation, I appreciate the work you and other translators put in the game, it's one of the main reasons I enjoy this game. Same for reading the most interesting theories people come up, like your GUT. I seriously doubt I would have lasted this long without them.
