    Not sure why the fights are undertuned in the 2nd Lostbelt. (Just about everything is level 88 recommended, meaning they're deliberately undertuned.)

    We've had harder fights in earlier story chapters, so it's not like they're worried about people hitting a wall. That said, it's possible section 6 is just the midpoint, so maybe the fights will get harder later.

    I agree, but I still enjoy the LB a lot, I hope it doesn't let me down in the end like Anastasia did.

    It’s the the giant Berserker enemies introduced in that LB. I looked them up and it they seem to focus on Divine Servants. As in if you have a team of Artoria, Emiya and Cu, they would only target Cu since he’s Divine.

    All three types seem to target Divine Servants.

    Finally it's Abby's time to shine :3 I'm really looking forward to LB2, another attempt to get Brynhildr to NP2 or 3 (didn't get a single copy with 1000+ SQ last year). I'm still full of regret ;_;

    This happens for alot of consoles, not just nintendo. I've had awful luck with PS3/4 controllers.

    Yeah, same for me with Xbox. Although mostly the shoulder pads broke, I had to sell one because of drifting problems (my 4th controller in one Gen - I didn't have to switch in any former generation ~~). For Switch my first pro controller had drifting right out of the box, the second is fine (so far).

  4. IMO it isn't silly, but lots of people might think so:

    Censorship. I haven't played/bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions because of it (although I'd love to) and even considered dropping FGO because of Demiya (and I would have If they censored Abby).

    Edit: I forgot to add publishers (not strict here, but I try to avoid stuff like EA or Blizzard) and extra launchers on PC. I've played exactly one Ubisoft game on PC because of the latter one.

    Ah JttW always hurts my soul! 45 tickets got me a 2nd copy of Mr Fister. All in all, 900sq + 90 tickets on solo rate up and got 0 rate up SSRs on both JttW runs! Noice!

    The event is much better with prior CE and a much stronger account aswell, just breezing through. Already done with the 1st part shop since I dont need that much stuff

    Damn that hurts. This won't help you, but I also wasted over 1000 SQ in the last gilfest banner without the rate-up SSR  That's gacha for you.

    While I'm done with farming since a week, I still dislike this event. Too many different currencies and the only event where I skipped the story in the first run already. For some reason I can't stand Sanzang.

    Yeah the gacha rates are really harsh. If you're on the wrong side of the bell curve then the 1% (really .7%) is going to ruin your life. And the 4* gacha rates  (1.5%) aren't much better than 5*s if you're gunning for someone specific, it's brutal.

    In most cases it's easier for me to get the SSR than the SR on a banner. Like the LB1 one - got Anastasia 3 times before getting a second cat. But yeah, the rates are harsh. I won't forget the 1000 SQ I spend on the last Brynhildr banner and not getting her.

  7. Finally done with Gunpowder farming for Nyalter. Now only 216 left for Anastasia -.- In addition to 190 Void Dust.. at least my Apples finally have a use.

    Bear in mind Anastasia has a debuff resistance down effect on her Mana Burst & a stun stapled to her NP battery. Her kit is actually pretty amazing. It's a bit hard to use, but it's pretty well-rounded for everything you might want to use her for.

    A better battery and charisma aswell. Sieg certainly isn't bad, but one shouldn't undersell 5* in general (even Arjuna had his uses, he served me well for 3 turn farming).

    Mostly just because I like her art. That is, I was thinking about NP5 because of reasons other than performance. Not that Atalanta Alter's bad, mind.

    Regarding 4* tickets, I tend to value them more than any given 4*, unless they're limited 4*s that you can't get via tickets. I also don't consider spooks when considering how many copies of a servant I go for.

     

    Plus it's not like I dislike Anastasia, who's on the banner with Atalanta.

    She IS great, but it doesn't seem like she's a specific favorite or something and gameplay wise NP2->5 doesn't offer an big improvement. I would go for her, just not NP5. Doesn't seem worth it.

    @Shahrivar Really? Anastasia was underwhelming? We must not have read the same story. I’d say that while I wasn’t as attached to the newcomers as I was in previous stories (Ivan and Salieri as you mentioned were particularly underutilized), the story has some of the best world-building I’ve seen in FGO and there some very strong individual character moments like Kadoc/Anastasia’s relationship (I ship em hard), 

      Reveal hidden contents

    Salieri’s confrontation with Mozart, the fight with Ivan in his beast form was particularly well done, Paxti and his development throughout the story, and in general there was a lot of emotional beats that genuinely struck a chord. 

    I was initially skeptical considering how, say, Shimousa was overhyped. However, this one genuinely lived up to the praise the JP players gave it, at least in my eyes. I thought this was a solid start to the Lostbelt saga.

    Spoiler

     

    I can agree that the world-building was pretty good - but besides that? The whole Kadoc/Anastasia relationship felt generic and me disliking Kadoc surely didn't help. The whole revelation at the end (everybody in the LB will disappear) felt weak as it was to be expected/predictable and even Gudako shouldn't have acted so surprised.

     

    Shimosa was indeed overhyped (just how Agartha didn't deserve the hate), but that's mostly because of the Japanese setting and featuring one of the most famous (Japanese again) swordsman. It's reasonable that the japanese would hold this scenario in high regard. Still it had pretty though boss fights and interesting new "mechanics" (the duels, forced story support in the front), which mad it enjoyable (but the worst remnant for me).

    Oh wow, Anastasia already out. Ugh... not sure if I want to drop the money to NP5 Atalanta Alter right now, but she won't get a rate up after this one, as far as I know.

    : S

    Why NP5? I went for NP2 (well NP3 thanks to the ticket from yesterday's login) and I don't plan to spend more money on that banner since she can spook. There are 4* tickets aswell and the benefit from further NP levels is negligible? I wouldn't go for NP5 on 4* stars at least.

    On Anastasia (LB1):

    Spoiler

    Extremely underwhelming, story and difficulty wise. Every single remnant had more challenging fights and many bosses in Anastasia had (almost) no build-up. It felt like they tried to fit too much stuff in at the end (many boss fights, the while Atalante betrayal was over 2 minutes later, Salieri needed way more screentime etc).

    I never thought in a million years that a collab with a spinoff that I never even heard of until now would get precedence over Tsukihime or Hollow Fragments. So much for 2k20 being the year of ending memes instead of prolonging them. 

    I don't have any hope for the Tsukihime remake. It was announced what, 8 years ago? I want it, but I can't see it happening.

    I don't spend all of them, but better too many than too few.  

    I guess I should say I don't like it when it feels like the game is trying to force me to use em.

    Fair enough. I use apples in most events and do some daily quests if I'm done early or farm mats (like Dragon fangs during valentine).

    I prefer being able to clear the main part of events (the parts that don't need gacha CEs) apple-free if you spend AP as it comes to you.  It's annoying with things like this past Semiramis event where the game seemingly gives you no choice but to apple if you want all the lores.

    Rather save my apples for Lottery events.

    How do you even spent all of them in lottery events 😕 I had ~120 golden and 80 silver ones for Christmas and I was able to spend about half of them.

    I've used apples for half ap door events, Shimosa and Salem, events, lotteries and I still can't get rid of them.

    Just wait until Guda 3

    You'll be wishing things weren't 40 AP.  It made the missions a huge slog without apples.

    Is that really an issue? I haven't been able to spend all of my apples in months (never below 70 golden apples in the last two lotteries). I'm at 91 again despite spending quite a bit on the knk rerun.

    On the topic of buyable wellfares: I think the price is okayish, it's not like you need more than NP2. You don't even need them to complete the story.
