Fate/Grand Order

I'm rolling for Merlin because I've always liked Merlin's legend and he's buster busted as fuck

After that I really only care about Ishtar, but if I pull for all the units I want I'm going to get none of them. That said I do need an Archer SSR, buuuut Chloe is also probably good enough for me anyway, especially once I throw a couple grails on her.

And after all of that I'm going back into SQ hoarding mode for the next time Tamamo appears on a rate-up.

Also, another thing. My hipster mentality tends to strike in and while I think I would appreciate Musashi, she's actually in a LOWER scale than Munenori to me. Not just because how she's more popular and a waifu... but I just feel like after decades of getting shafted by Historical Villain Upgrade for the sake of romanticism, I just had the urge to side with the underdog more (Munenori). I guess it helps that from what I heard, looks like Fate treated Munenori fairly (showcasing both good and bad)

Goddammit, I might be growing a grudge on Onimusha and how they treated their historical characters... (P.S: Broskandar confirmed as Genma ally there.)

Plan well, then. The earliest is Fate/Extella pre-release Campaign, but I'm sure it's not gonna come over. I guess there's a Class-Based Campaign. Guess you can wait until before SE.RA.PH.

I'm really hoping for a Merlin rate up sometime soon on JP. I know Buster isn't really the meta anymore, but I want to do awful things to bosses with Jalter and I need Merlin for that.

Also, I just like him.

Since I'm sure a lot of the people on my friends list will have Merlin on support, I think I'll focus mostly on Ishtar since I already have two SSR Casters, and I very much need an SSR Archer.

I am saving for Merlin (because on the other hand, having the support Servants you need means more freedom with the actual damaging Servants from Support list). After that, I am skipping New Year's because next Servant I really want is Hessian Lobo.

As I have said before, I'll only focus on Ishtar for the New Years Banner, also, since it's still around a month or so I can save enough money for when the time comes.

Edit:

While I do think Merlin is cool and useful, I already have Waver, Tamamo and Xuanzang so I won't roll for him. Besides, I would need to find that audio where Ayako Kawasumi tells Merlin to show up first.

I don't really know what I'll do for the new year's gacha, actually. Assuming it's split like it was last time I guess I'd go for the Extra gacha? There aren't really that many Servants left that I want and don't have. But it probably won't be done like that anyway.

Although I'd really like to get more Ishtar copies. Okay, I don't really use her anymore but she's just great anyway. So bullyable.

There's always more quartz for a Rinface.

Being a Rinface is also one of the few things that made me not quite iffy on Ishtar and later Ereshkigal. I see it that maybe they're not liking Ishtar or Eresh for real, but more like because they had the face of Rin. Had they picked another host, perhaps they wouldn't be as liked.

It's a similar case with my aversion of Saberfaces (of course, here I am trying to raise OG!Altria, but only because I absolutely don't have any SSR Sabers until I try for Okita later, or luckily pull a Musashi in New Year)

Ereshkigal is not actually that much like Tohsaka, tbh. Ishtar is kind of like a meaner, flanderized Tohsaka.

They probably would have been popular either way because they're both really funny and Ereshkigal is super cute. But yeah, looking like her sure didn't hurt.

Edited by Arha on Nov 12th 2018 at 1:41:33 PM

The little I read of the Ishtar vs Ereshkigal quiz show while I was speeding through the main story was pretty great, yeah. I'm sure looking and sounding like Rin didn't hurt, though.

Eresh and Isthar are Rin split in two. Eresh is the adorkable, dere Rin and Isthar is the tsun, seductive Rin.

Ain't pulling New Years 'cause I'm pure F 2 P, but as far as next year goes I'm aiming for, in order of release: Demiya, Lip, Penth, Munemori, Sheba and Circe.

Edit: Abby is a good girl.◊

For me this raises the question:◊ if there were a Hollywood Live Action adaptation, who would you want in each role?

Edited by HailMuffins on Nov 13th 2018 at 8:08:19 AM

Nah man Eresh is way too deredere to be Tohsaka.

Any live adaptation of FGO would surely be an abomination so no one.

Don't remember tye UBW sex scene much, do ya?

And I was talking about FSN, actually.

Personally, I think Liam Neeson would make a great Souichirou.

You mean you don't want to watch a movie about how young Sammy Emmett bonds with King Arthur (played by Scarlett Johansson) and fights against Benedict Cumberbatch as the King of Heroes?

Personally, I think Elizabeth Olsen would be better as Artoria.

She's, y'know, cute. As a button.

Scarlett could be Rider.

Edited by HailMuffins on Nov 13th 2018 at 8:58:46 AM

nah Scarlett's clearly going to be cast as Rin

also tbh I'd rather see Apoc get adapted as it is the perfect kind of blockbuster nonsense for a live-action adaptation

Going for both Musashi and KH. Sucks for me because they're both back-to-back.

Big problem of Apocrypha was large cast strugling for screentime. Two hour movie couldn't possibly remedy it. Even if we discard Apo's more unnecessary elements, like Sieg, it would be difficult.

How about original story? Apo's timeline has excuse to have one or even couple more for potential sequels.

A Netflix series about Kiritsugu's career as a hitman. It could be in the style of 80's television, where every episode tells a independent story.

Given Kiritsugu's habit of shooting the dog that may be a rather depressing story.

Your point?

Edit:Hey finally the FGO cosplaying scene gives us some decent man pecks!◊

Edit 2: Just in case it ends up actually happening, my prediction for the new Santa Welfare is Assassin Herk.

Because if the sight of a 300 kg Joe Fixit-wannabe on a green and red suit sneaking around doesn't make you at least snicker, you simply do not have a soul!

He also should be perfect at stealth, just for the ridicule of it all.

Haven't really been playing the game much recently, but did a 10-shot for the hell of it on NA.

Got myself Artoria Lancer.

And we get him before Archer Herc smh

Alciedes was a mistake
