Checking ahead on what banners are coming, thankfully there’s not a lot I desire for waifu reasons.

So I’d roll for meta.

I'm F 2 P so I can't afford to waste my quartz on gameplay. Fortunately most of the servants I like tend to be good units anyway e.g. Cu Alter and Merlin.

Though for this year, barring old targets I only have Sherlock and Summer Nobu to worry about. Anyone but summer Nobu who spooks me gets second archive

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

Mats for d'Eon and Sanson.

The artist comment made me finally realize why Sanson has those weird horse shoulder pads on his costume.

Robespierre is... I remeber playing late in evening and juuust before going to sleep I decided to spend my last ten AP to finish d'Eon's interlude. Lo and behold, motherfucker comes at me with his 800k HP when all I had were support Merlin and my middling Hans and d'Eon. I had no sleep that night.

Robespierre is a cunt is what I'm saying.

Same.

Gonna have to get a better one soon, though, the fight against Beast!Kiara took nearly an hour partly because any amount of CG drops the framerate like a damn rock.

My final veredict on Agartha is...meh, but not as bad as I thought.

I take off my hat to the translators because I'm sure they had to split hairs to make the story palatable enough. That I respect a lot.

Of the original servants, D'eon was a good companion through the journey, Astolfo was too cheerful but had some moments of insight like the first time we met Wu. Fergus Lily, I'm torn honestly, he's definitely more likeable than normal Fergus but his final speech took out much of the tension.

Now, of all the new servants, Wu is perhaps the one I liked the most since her city is the least exploitative, sad that her design is so...inappropiate. Columbus was a good villain; yes, he was predictable, but he earns points for pointing out the Values Dissonance between modernity and the past that we often take for granted (funnily enough, he was also arrested by his mistreatment of the natives during his life).

Dahut is nothing to write home about, Penthesilea is someone I feel was underutilised and should have been allowed more depth beyond acting like a stereotypical Amazon. Scheherazade is someone who I kind of pity but after all the experiences we had across time is also someone that sounds too petty and cowardly to tolerate, at least she outgrows that attitude somewhat by the end Agartha.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, maybe we should try to find the absolutes that tie us.

Yes they've changed quite a bit of sexist dialogue as I understand.

Now I'm both interested and a little scared of what the original script for this story was...

I will say that one thing I like about Pentheselia is that she actually sounds like a Berserker. Her voicework in her NP line in particular actually sounds dripping with rage in a way none of the other Berserkers really have.

Well, here's a few exemples:

Section 3

NA: "the men among you in particular should serve us well by providing us with strong offspring" ... "Of course, fool... I speak of them that way because that is exactly what they will be.Naturally, your cooperation is not a factor. You will be told where to go, what to do, and you will be made to obey, one way or the other"

JP: "Of course. And the role of the man is a given—- you will spit out strong seed for us." ... " —-Are you stupid? It's not 'just like'. That is exactly what it is. Of course, you will have no right to choose your partner. After one finishes the next will come. After one finishes, the next will come. You are merely things to sow your seed in the empty wombs of our women."

Section 5:

NA:"What an idiot.Whether you run away or not, you were going back to being a slave... But you're no use as a slave if you attack us. Shame. That one could've been a decent workhorse."

JP:"Arara~ whether you ran or not, you'd just have become slaves again... dumbass. Getting violent with us means that you can't even be a slave. Aaah, and this fella was packing such a nice thing too, what a shame."

NA:"There's only so much pleasure and plunder to go around, y'know A girl's gotta get what she wants while the gettin's good!So have at it, girls! if you wanna have yer way with 'em, go for it! If you wanna kill 'em, knock yerselves out! This is our world, and we do what we want!"

JP:"Be it pleasure or life or screams or seed, use it all up! The early bird gets the worm, if you're slow you can't plunder anything at all! Now, girls, violate if you want, kill if you want! Everything is permitted!"

NA:" If they're women, wel'll just kill 'em off like usual, but if they're men...Check out those tight abs!I bet we could have a lotta fun with these two!I love making pretty boys like that squirm!"

JP: "If you're women, we'll kill you, if you're men—- ah, my crotch is tingling in excitement! We'll have so much fun! I just love watching such cute boys contorting their faces!"

Holy shit, just noticed Drake doesn't scream "Hougeki yoi!" during her skill animation anymore.

...man, it's not easy being a Drake fan, we're the redheaded stepchild of this fanbase.

Drake may not be the most popular, but she's not shitted on either.

I can sort of understand the leeriness on how Drake was used in Agartha because instead of being a stray Servant summoned by the circumstances, this is explicitly Chaldeas's Drake that was hijacked by Dahut, so it's more of a violation.

I kind of wish there was more calling out on Scheherazade for basically causing hell to so many people, there wasn't that much of that in focus in-game.

It makes it harder to shake it off when you have her join, because man, that make some serious trust issues.
