I mean, since they don't have Road to 7 anymore they can go back to do reruns to buy themselves some time at least.

Kirei refuses to fight because "he's just a harmless priest" so they had the excuse ready. You know. Just in case.
They have already claimed they were planning to do less reruns, so they're obviously going to be caught as liars if suddenly half a year is full of reruns.
Edit: Though I do see them going back on this because of lack of content to provide, they already had to do it for Santa Karna.

Thing is, their reason was believable because they kinda screwed up with LB6, so I was perfectly fine with is as long as we would eventually see the Servants released next year once Part 2 started at the beginning of January. But seeing as LB7 Part 2 is at the end of January and how incomplete the Servant animations are for Part 1, it's clearly obvious that the true reason is because they have none ready for release.
Yeah after the Fairy Knights' profile stuff spoiling with LB6 I was perfectly willing to accept LB7 Servants being held back to avoid spoilers. But the real reason is clearly that they're not done.
Well I can believe Tezca and Kuku have spoilers. Kuku especially, she clearly has some ORT stuff going on. Tlaloc, Camaztoz, and Beni though? Nah that's not why they were held back.
We'll probably have to deal with "the Chaldean" first. Clearly he didn't learn his lesson the first time we beat him.

What do you think made their management go so wrong? It's like they need men with whips watching over their programmers to make sure they get their work done on time.
It's really impossible to know without being an employee, but I think they're just really unfocused and not very forward-thinking. This kind of mess only happens if you're more interested in doing a bunch of other stuff instead of just focusing 100% on the one thing you absolutely can't screw up.
Well, it's more than just nonsensical pairing. I think Lord Camelot was a mistake, because it took away any meaning of enemy's firepower.
Like, Zeus' lightning? Lord Camelot. Olga's black hole (!) Lord Camelot.
It's like playing RPG with cheats, enemy's power doesn't matter at all, when Chaldea got almost inpenetrable defence (only losing to Anti-Purge I believe).
Lord Camelot vs Ars Almadel was good, because it was classic raw power vs conceptual. Should've stop at it.
And then Black Barrel was double mistake.
It's just lazy writing. Instead of finding ways to overcome strong enemies it's just spam of the same NP.
And Habetrot also using BB because they forgot that BB is poisonous for fairies (and everyone made of Ether).
I kinda miss Gun God, who lost to Type-Saturn while holding Black Barrel. Because it wasn't omnipotent win button back then.
And I fear they'll kill ORT with it.
I mean, once she came down didn't the Alien God say she was planning on getting rid of the Lostbelts? On the surface at least the LBs only seem to serve as a spawn terminal so she can have a body in the physical world according to her. Getting rid of them then is the start of her next step. Since the Chaldean opposes her plan, then getting rid of them is technically opposing him.
It could also be that his side ALSO needs the LBs gone, its just that Chaldea surviving after all of them are gone makes them the next loose end.
Isn't Lord Camelot's whole thing that it can't be defeated so long as Mash's heart holds firm? If it is defeated, then it's either a conceptual negation or "it's just that strong!!" which is basically one of those battles which is just a successive series of 'no u's which is also fairly boring.
To avoid cheapening it, you could do one of two things. Either Mash messes up and can't stay strong, so the defense falters, or she's separated from Fujimaru, such that we have to rely on our own wits and Servants to survive. The latter is more interesting, in my opinion, and it's already been done (such as all of EoR where she was depowered).
As for Gun God, I don't think his battle with Saturn was ever elaborated upon. He might've just died before he got a single shot in (and we know Saturn can't have died to him since Slash Emperor took it down later). Which makes sense. If Black Barrel can't lose, then the only way to win against it is to kill the wielder before they can fire it. Though I agree it does see a lot of use.
I don't know how anyone could beat, let alone kill ORT in a non-Notes timeline. They need another TYPE to realistically stand a chance against ORT. A way to counter Crystal Valley is to manipulate the very texture of the planet, like Marble Phantasm or whatever causing the bleaching phenomenon... wait.

I'd like to think it's just a residual thought Goetia where he'd acknowledge Chaldea if they managed to resolve all seven Singularities. Even Chaldean admitted that it's strange for him to say that.
Honestly, the only reason I can kinda laugh off Lasengle being incredibly incompetent and relevant FGO content being drip fed to us while we get shitty nothingburger events and irrelevant pandering waifus to fill out dead months is because I'm more invested and care more about seeing more Tsukihime/Melty and Mahoyo. If I was full on invested and cared a lot about FGO this would feel incredibly shitty.
As someone who is more invested in the Fate side of things the only reason why I haven't fully gone off the deep end yet is because I play NA.
