It's post-Solomon only, so I'd say half and half: it's higher leveled than usual, but the nodes seem fairly homogenous.

Also, again, how to make a stickied post?

It's not easy. This event assumes you're at a power level to have cleared Solomon, if not the four Epic of Remnant chapters too.

It's been fun.

Seems more of a troublesome grind, mainly because it is a mission based event so you have stuff like "Clear [Arena] Missions X times" Or "Defeat X amount of enemies".

[up] I can't believe you have to be a time traveller to be good at this event.

CCC is a Eo R chapter.

And no event would assume the player beat all of Eo R because Eo R is bullshit.

New Year huh, alright then, ~9 months for an F2P to save everything for Hokusai and be disappointed with the results.


Speaking of grindy gacha games (and I hope game comparisons are allowed in this thread). Holy hell, Epic Seven seems to be grindier than Granblue!? I think I've only scratched a surface of E7 since I've just started last week... Here's a comparison list I quickly made

But personally, I mainly look at the grindiness of a gacha game based on the number of factors that one must fill to make a whole/decent party.

  • GBF = You grind for
    • Level Grinding and Money Grinding
    • EXP fodders (Angel Weapons and Angel Summons)
    • 5 Characters + 10 Weapons + 5 Summons + Main Character = 21 factors for a single party
    • Weapon Skill level Fodders
    • Uncap mats for Chars, Weapons, Summons
    • Grindable SSR Weapons
    • Grindable SSR Chars (Eternals / Evokers)
    • Grindable SSR Summons (Arcarum).

  • E7 = You grind for
    • Level Grinding and Money Grinding
    • EXP fodders (Artifacts, Equipment, Charms, Monster Cards, Penguins)
    • 4 Characters + 4x(6 Equipment and 1 Artifact per character) + 1 Guardian = 33 factors for a single party
    • Phantasms for promoting characters
    • Runes for Awakening
    • Skill Enhance Items
    • Hunting Mats for Workshop Items
    • Grindable Epic-tier items for the 6 Equipment Slots
    • Free Characters from "Connections"

  • FGO = You grind for
    • Level Grinding (Embers) and Money Grinding (QP)
    • EXP fodders (Craft Essence)
    • 5 Characters + 5 Craft Essences + Mystic Code = 11 factors for a single party
    • Skill Enhance Gems + Materials
    • Grail for Palengenesis
    • Ascension Monuments + Materials
    • Fou Cards

These are just how I perceive the grindy stuff between GBF, FGO, and E7... There may be more than this list. And obviously, you only need less stuff to make a decent party in FGO, hence the least grindy among the 3.

AP for nodes can be pretty costly which adds up to the need to farm

At least for space needed for all the C Es and Servants plus Embers and Fous, the game is relatively okay about that

Well, speaking of gacha games, I've been playing Another Eden lately, and as far as grind goes, there's very little of it there: you only need to grind for EXP, and that'll cover your monetary costs as well, so keeping the party on an appropriate level is pretty simple.

Also, no timers, you can keep playing a much as you want at any given time. In fact, it is far closer to a JRPG with a gacha mechanic than a gacha game, which I hope becomes the main desogn philosophy among gacha developers going forward, along with a focus on continuous, long term storytelling like in FGO.

800+ friend points in one day? Looks like my maxed out Cu Alter w/MLB verdant song of destruction is doing work on my friends list.

Haven't gotten friend points like this since an irl friend picked up GO and spammed the hell out of my Saber Alter to bum rush the story.

used up all my tickets. got that one craft essence of kiara where she's pressing the earth into her tiddy.

did one 10 roll. got... my tamamo to NP 2!! yesssssssssssssssssssssssss I'm so happy! i also got liz to NP 3 but i dont care as much about that

I'm gonna save my last 90 SQ for Melt or something bc I want at least one alter ego to use.

I also want Suzuka Gozen because she is also a foxy fox (albeit objectively inferior in every way to tamamo).

I know this probably won't happen but I hope Yamanaka revamps the cast's designs for the LN

I liked the visual conceit for recycling limited assets but it's a book with new illustrations so

also it would maybe make the Raikou-Eve and Euryale-Harriet twist not quite as odd

#34949: Apr 16th 2019 at 5:50:31 AM

Hello.....Should I introduce myself because that would be awkward for me in my opinion.

Anyway, well, I know there's a FGO forum here but I'm afraid of going here because I don't consider myself a Fate fan to be honest.

Why is that? Let's just say that I never really watch any of it's animes or anythibg else that is created for the franchise because there's this rule of mine that my starting point of the Nasuverse is the FSN VN. But then, FGO became my real starting point......and I deleted it because my phone can't handle it's huge storage and my phone occassionally crashes whenever I enter the game.

Despite this, I still wanted to stay in the fandom and I pretty much read many of it's translations that is submitted by the FGO subreddit team. Actually many of them are just freaking summaries anyway because I can't handle reading all of the dialogue as it tires my brain out and it made me easily forgot all of the story's plot points.

So pretty much, you could say this is somehow my journey to Fate. I'm afraid of going here a long time because I don't have a life-long experience with FGO as much as everyone here. But now I have the courage of doing so and I hope that I could be in discussions with you guys.

And you don't need to explain the entire Nasuverse rules and all of that stuff. I pretty much understood based on what I read in the Type-Moon Wikia. So I don't think it should be a problem (unless it could be a big problem.....)

I hope that I can fulfill something here just like the rest of you guys because I really love the Nasuverse because of the lore that attracted me to become somewhat obsessed with it despite some of it's circumstances and I hope that I didn't disappoint or anger you guys. If I did any of that later on, I'm sorry for my actions of doing so.

Also, WHEN WILL DW RELEASE LOSTBELT 4 BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR MY INDIAN BOYS GETTING NEW COOL ANIMATIONS DAMMIT AND ALSO SITA

[down]Thank you. Well, I'm into the Nasuverse and FGO just for the lore and story and all of the other stuff you can probably tell by now. Also, thank you for welcoming me

Welcome to the forum!

Don't worry about messing up the lore or stuff, a lot of people mainly just play the game and are here for just that so I think you'll be okay on that front smile
