Fate/Grand Order General Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Link0306]

On the Servantverse, I like when Nasu takes it more seriously, like in Saber Wars 2. That event is one of my favs, and it really makes me want a Saber Wars 3 one day.

Otherwise it can be hit or miss yeah. MHX and MHXA are always great tho imo

[mami-kouga]

I don't particularly hate the servantverse but it's also never given me anything I gaf about and sometimes outright vomits stuff I just hate with its application being usually more half-assed when someone besides Nasu tries to use it because they don't have his Brainworms on the matter. Space Ishtar is bad though for submitting to Nasu's terminal need to waifubait that vanilla Ishtar avoids.

All that being said I'm more bothered that Takeuchi thinks Ciel's ugly garbage bag swimsuit has sci fi elements

[Paulie25]

I don't think Saburo's popular enough for gold rarity. He has his fans, sure, butd I don't think most players would be particularly pleased with a Saburo consolation prize unless he's REALLY good.

He’s not gonna be a lower rarity than Chiyome

[Ratman]

I keep thinking that OG Ciel would have worked better as Lancer, especially with being the rival character. But she is the bow in the sky after all.

[manafusion]

My read on this was that Nasu and Takeuchi shot her down immediately and got ignored by everyone else, but your interpretation is just as plausible.

The way I read it, it's like this:

>Ciel was brought up as an option for Anni Servant.
>Nasu and Takeuchi immediately shuts that idea down.
>Nasu and Takeuchi still want to release Ciel but can't because of whatever logic is holding back the direct addition of Ciel into the game.
>Decide to do a workaround on said logic using the Servant Universe as the their "don't worry about it" have-cake-and-eat-it-too excuse. Also Summer.

Yeah that's basically my take too. Really it's similar logic they used for Knocknarea too, Nasu said she was a summer Servant cause things were more lax then.

[spacelamp]

Ideally, non-Fate characters (i.e., non-Heroic Spirits) should only appear in collab events. But Nasu refuses to do a collab event with Tsukihime until Red Garden's release. But they also want to release Ciel. Thus they chose the "anything goes" nature of summer events. They didn't want to use Ciel for the anniversary because they already used that card on Arcueid. There will probably never be another anniversary Servant from outside Fate. This appears to be the logic they're going with.

Why does it take 10 seconds to open servant select screen from advance quest party screen what the hell

Nasu talking like it was an age ago as opposed to last year

Skill upgrade for Merlin and Nursery Rhyme.

- - - Updated - - -

- Merlin's Illusion got upgraded. Cooldown reduced to 8-6, it now gives 10% NP charge to all allies, the duration of the star drop is increased to 3 turns and he also gives 50% crit damage up for 3 turns to all allies.
- Nursery's Morph now gives her 30% Arts up to self for 3 turns, gives 20% NP charge to all allies with Child trait and gives 20% NP damage up to all allies with Fairy Tale trait for 3 turns. And yeah, she gets both.

So yeah, Merlin has an AoE 30% NP charge now. Nursery is okay.

- - - Updated - - -

Welp, those ten tickets from daily login only gave me Gareth. Not gonna bother with more. I guess I won a bit since it's my first Gareth, so free quartz.

[Ratman]

he needs it

[idpersona]

I called it as a certainty,didnt i?

[spacelamp]

Okay, but Nursery Rhyme animation update when? She's been using Focus Blast for nine freakin' years straight.

[Pendant]

This has been such a huge fucking annoyance this week.

[Norayd]

Caster Balls will never die

[Nikiri]

Okay, but Nursery Rhyme animation update when? She's been using Focus Blast for nine freakin' years straight.

when extra record is released

maybe

[Dark Squirrel]

There might still be some remnant of Earth floating around in the Old Solar System. There's a remnant of Venus there too after all.
A lonely Brain of the Planet who was left behind after the Universe Update may still reside there.

Summer 9 is actually a Tsuki no Sango collab you read it first here.

Now the memes of "buff Merlin pls" can finally die. Very nice Rank Up, brings him a bit more in line with Purrin.

Glad I saw Cursery Rhyme getting buffed coming. She goes to be decent, which is progress.

[Oz1337]

That's it for the SQ batch. Quite a good batch, some Servants have actually improved their performance by quite a bit. The only one that was crap was Gilles IMO, not sure why his is so meh when the other 3* Servants got really good ones.

[Some Jerk]

For the curious, the trait overlappers for Nursery Crime's upgrade are Beni-enma, Sitonai, Bunyan, and Voyager.

This is after Beni already got a Strengthen from this batch, too. The bird is the word.

I thought it was because my phone was shit/subpar nowadays.

LMAO Merlin actually got buffed. If he ever gets a NP buff, I'm wondering if it's his Babylon NP.
