Fate/Grand Order - English

[Kratosirving]

I wasn't expecting the Coins/Append Skills/Lv. 120 bit to come early, that's for sure. That'll be an interesting drain on resources for many - not me though as I'm already dirt poor again in QP, Skill Cookies and various mats. I have the mats and QP ready for the Anniversary, but that's pretty much it. D:

Good luck with your coins without 5* Ember dailies.

Still hoping that maybe they'll give the updated dailies for the anniversary.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

It's fine if they only cost Coins and QPs, but Append Skills also need Mats and Lores for maxing out levels like regular Skills, so I won't bother about it.

Each level from 100 to 120 cost 750 4star embers.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

So around 15000 4* embers if leveling all the way to 120. And IF I could get Coins to unlock all levels. Welp, not a very fun feature. Who knows if it'll ever be tweaked in the future like with Code Remover.

[Kratosirving]

I think getting at least 1 level in each of the two common Append skills is good though; 30% Extra card damage is good for just a handful of Blue gems, and while 10% gauge isn't exactly a gamechanger it's better than starting at 0%.

The 3rd one though... honestly I think that third Append skill slot has been a waste. Especially for the Berserkers where most of them get the "chance to not be crit by X class" one. Why does that skill type exist and not "take less damage from X class" altogether, smh.

[Mattias]

Does that mean the grail crafting is coming in too? Level cap without that is going be tough.

to open an append skill at level 1 does not cost anything but coins.

I usually level that Append on AoE servants and Neutral DPS.

[Tamamo-no-Mae Goshujin-sama]

I wonder if we may also get the pity system early now as well? Given my resent luck getting the 5 star I want after 900 quetz seem fine to me.

[Kratosirving]

Summer 4 Rerun coming together with the Append Skills, and looks like we'll getting more QoL updates to go along with the Append stuff soon too.

[Gehennahem]

The biggest deal is that they have in fact confirmed that we are getting LB5.5 and LB6 items from now on to make up for the fact we are getting the Append Skill and 120 super early... alongside potentially the upgraded Dailies after:


They are pulling out all of the stops now with no brakes for Global like I have never seen before.

[Reign]

I wonder if they really will speed up the event and LB schedule at this point. That would mess with holiday events though, like having a Valentine's in August or something, so how would you do a workaround for that?

[OnesFleetingGlory]

The approach they take is probably have new mats available earlier through events/shops/daily mats, while the scheduling remains the same as to not mess it up.

IIRC Nerofest 1 had fetus' in it's shops, five months before a homonculus showed up in London. So it's not unheard of.

It's definitely not(*Remembers the fact that Waver required mats that wouldn't become widely available till London*).
What is critical is the fact that these systems in particular only existed in Japan for the 1st year and that's it and the Append Skills and 120 came during Avalon, we are explicitly getting these so early, they have to re-adopt Year 1 tactics so we can use them on some decent level till those Lostbelts are available.
Combined with the fact they fully acknowledged the QP and XP troubles that would come with them and bringing in the Extreme versions later...

[Reign]

Las Vegas rerun on Monday.

[Kratosirving]

Also confirmed new mats available; dunno what it is exactly, but apparently it's the Gold mat from 5.5 or something.

So there was some sort of Sakuracon panel that caused a really big stir in NA-land, eh?

[Reign]

One guy on reddit said that at Sakuracon the NA team said the Chaldea Breakroom stuff apparently got them a lot of angry messages from Japanese players for having English-exclusive writer interviews, so the team decided "if we're going to get angry reactions no matter what lets go further and give NA more exclusive stuff like that."

Of course that was only one poster's view and other people at the panel said in the same thread that they didn't get the impression it was spite motivated at all and OP was exaggerating. But the internet makes sure controversy travels faster and further.
