If you use Belial's call on Sandalphon, he gets instant 100% meter and the Forbidden Fruit debuff (damages you if you use a CA).

That's a really cool and in-character Easter Egg for both of them.

I didn't realize Andira wasn't on the banner

This was after I dropped 70 draws. Said 70 draws did not have any SS Rs.

Got Vikala and Nacht with a few singles though

Today I drew Yuisis, my big impression of her is that she's Beatrix but better so sorry Bea you're fired.

Idk if people have already found it, but here's Belial's home screen lines translated. And his special lines when used as a summon.

Also Shiva's home screen lines for his New Year's costume.

With the odds completely against me I managed to get Belial.

Last day of legfest roulette draws is here. Didn't get anything of note with my 20 draw, but i did finish the last 70 draws for the spark. Ended up with Belial, Apollo, moons for Lady Grey and Vikala(for the third time this roulette...), and got Grand Monika. Worked out nicely since I was getting Grand Lecia.

Didn't get any of the rate-ups, but I did get Kolulu, so wooo? 90 sparks means I'm going to keep my fund for now. Gotta hold on until Andira shows up again

Gachapin Frenzy didn't get me anything, but Mukku Frenzy got me Lucius and Dante.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this roulette turned out since I got 3/4 of the new SSR characters (this game seems determined to never give me a Zodiac character), so I'll save up for February and the new Valentine's characters.

Water banner means I got nothing of any value from the 200. Vane and Charlotta (Light), and a couple gold moons. Mukku frenzy didn't get me anything new at all. A shame.

Also, I just finished Chapter 73 of the main story. And wow. What shit. The entire latter part of the Erste Empire arc I was practically screaming for them to just kill Freesia already, and also getting very annoyed at Loki and his generic smug, all-powerful, I'm depressed wa-wa so I'm just gonna ruin everyone else's day attitude, and just getting annoyed at annoying characters in general (looking at you, Furias), since from what I've seen so far, I will never get the chance to shove a sword into any of their faces anytime soon.

But the conclusion of all this just kind of capped it all. After multiple times going on a genocidal rampage, and also abusing dark essence so much that she really should have just keeled over on the spot, the way this all ends is that Freesia just... accepts it. Does a complete 180 attitude change and... that's it. No execution for capital crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity, no being thrown back in prison. Not even a good speech to try to convince her to change her ways or whatever.

I keep hearing that GBF has a decent story, but I've yet to see it. I assume that it may show its face some time in the next 50 or so chapters? Or at least I hope it does. I'm not expecting Hemingway levels of writing here. I just want a story that isn't so infuriatingly cliche and suffering from what seems to be all the bad anime tropes.

EDIT: Whoo, just had to get that off my chest. Bad pulls combined with frustration with bad writing have been piling up for some time.

The first arc isn't the best yeah, it does get better the fartherit goes on, but the events are honestly where the better writing is at. That they do actually kill complete scumbags without giving them redemption happens far more in it. But it also has some turn good too. The Crossover events get pretty good too, like the Code Geass one.

The fact the Events lore like Otherworldy beings, The Society, etc. being brought slowly into the plot later helps immensely to tie the world together.

Loki decides to follow in the heroes footsteps and forms his own crew, realizing he needs to change in his own way by learning from them. There's even a Clone of Fuiras that is an Anti-Villain who is not a piece of Harvin garbage like the original, who has accepted he's just a tool to die for his master.

The True King is so unequivocally awful and not a waifu that I think he's at least not going to make it out of the main story without some kind of repercussion. Apollonia is still probably my favorite main story antagonist, but Loki's getting there, especially if that Society thing is going to pay off any time soon. The Otherworldly Envoy is also pretty great as such a nice contrast.

Honestly I have a conspiracy theory that Ascendant of the Proud solely exists to ensure people aren't clamoring for playable Gilbert the same way people have been begging for Belial for years now.


Gachapin and Mukku gave me Lumiel lesbians, Aoidos, and Hector, which is not ideal but I'm glad I actually got new stuff from the last day.

Also I played Jeanne Grand's skill Fate and the Otherworldly being that's been brainwashing her mentions something about automagods and a hooded figure before dying. The first time automagods were mentioned as far as I know was the recent Zeta/Vaseraga story event. Think they'll elaborate more on that in the future?

That was last mentioned in the event that introduced Cassius as well. He's from SPACE the moon.

Fukuhara's director letter for 2020 is out and it's got some interesting points.

  • Big overhauls to the UI, party formation and character selection will be simplified and made faster for QOL, weapon selection will have filters based on skills, there'll be a new custom filter that determines "unneeded" weapons for stashing or reducing. Other QOL changes include expanding inventory space.
  • He refuses to tease anything currently unannounced this year namely because of how fans misinterpreted the content they were making for characters mentioned (I'm 99% certain this pertains to Narmaya.)
  • The January event will give all the DEEP LORE on Society/Foe/Moon/Automagods
  • The sixth anniversary event will be self-contained, no future anniversary events will focus on Eternals (I mean, WMTSB seemed pretty self-contained so I feel like they'll walk back on this if there's enough demand.)
  • The new Arcarum content will be something different from the current content.
  • Re: Relink, he muses that the current state of game news in general is geared far more towards releasing news when the game is in a state of completion and it makes Relink stand out because its news cycle is more geared for syncing with the mobile game so it was announced early on to make an impact (not to get all conspiracy theory in here, but I wonder if this is why there were issues with Platinum and they had to drop out), he knows the long pauses in news are frustrating but the project has been growing and growing.

Surprised Percival wasn't on the poll for once. Though I learned in the FGO thread he's one of the Top 100 Beloved Male Characters in Japan for 2019 so good to know others are just getting love.

Nice Siegfried got love.

Wow. I was not expecting this event to get this intense.

The Foe though have done nothing to make me side with them. I didn't like them before and I really don't like them now.

Also, damn. I wasn't expecting to be sad at the end of this but here we are.

Edit: I just read the third extra story. On the list of things that are okay that was very not okay! That was not okay at all!!!

Now I don't like the Moon Dwellers AND the Foe. Why is it when there are moon dwellers in fiction they end up being cold, distant bastards 70% of the time?

Grace is delightfully creepy, I really wish I got Halloween Zeta/Vaseraga for their Fate Episodes now.

Percival, the Otherworld, the Foe, post-Erste Empire status quo, the first Society event, everything's really coming together for this one event huh.

The title is actually pretty clever, Isaac partially namedrops it in the middle so that's what you think it refers to and then bam the final parts completely recontexualizes it.

WELP SSR Cassius definitely not happening any time soon. And the fact that Foe events are like a once a year deal means that Isaac and the other new hot moon people won't be playable either sad

Like Im just starting and this Grace lady is creepy AF. Not only does she kill a Otherworldly Being named Khobe, she ate him and fed him to that poor Isaac fellow.

And that Knife she gave In already guessing is Chaos matter.

[up] Re: the second point, that actually makes too much sense, especially with the final story.

okay more thoughts on the event because it was so good:

  • Ellis is voiced by Kōki Uchiyama, which is funny considering he already plays a character related to the Society.
  • soooo I guess the final story means that either Guzaletha is a descendent of Moondwellers (intriguing implications for the main story with his brother and Necessaria), just had his own goal or agenda re: Yatima, which we'll never know because he dead.
  • They were actually pretty coy about Alandus technically being revived, but his childhood promise clears up a looooooooot about his motivations (namely what he wanted after becoming an Automagod).
  • Yatima being a Palette Swap-ed Lyria is also really intriguing, especially since her absorbing the powers of the main story Primals pretty much mirrors Lyria to a T.
  • Zeta's uncap sure was a thing. While it's good that Arvess has been cleared up and I can see why Zeta needing to control her weapon before unlocking more power makes narrative sense, it's just that it feels bad that it was almost two years before she actually got the uncap.
  • Vaseraga's new costume animation is sick and I think it's a Versus reference, which is cool.
  • The Society being almost completely dismantled is finally an incredibly cool status quo change, the problem with which is it's very unclear how this is going to affect Necessaria's subplot going forward.
  • Isaac is very good though as someone unfamiliar with Dead Space I have no idea how overt the references are.
  • I was thinking to myself "hmm the Foe sounds really silly if they actually called themselves that" and then it turns out no there's actually a really valid reason for that.
  • I think the most surprising part is that literally everything Grace turns out to have an actual justification for doing so, rather than it being her instability
