Fate/Grand Order (Mobile RPG)

[Rizare]

Sucks that summer rerun happens before LB6. Now I can't try as much as I would have on summer Tomoe gacha and gotta pray to rng gods even more.

[Wandering Soul]

For me it's really between Ryoma and Arash's. Tristan and Salieri take too many liberties near the end and I don't really like how Jalter's brings the cameraman into it at the last minute.

[Anh_Minh]

I voted for Ryouma's in the end. It can be easily combined with Arash's, though, so I hope it will be. (OTOH, the "twist" really only works for viewers who know Ozy and Arash...)

[AC-Phoenix]

I voted for Jalter, because she'll burn our asses if we don't

E: I love it how I keep reading, that the Tamamo we see in the CCC Garden game is actually Amaterasu, but every translation I see leaves room for her actually just being 9 Tails Tamamo.

That being said: What I have yet to see is people realizing that Fluffy-Tails actually qualifies for a Grand Caster Graph... (I wonder, how many tails could a GC-Graph manage?)

[Endscape]

Voted for Arash. His idea was simple, but it had the most organic ending.

[XFire]

I went for Tristan since I'm a sucker for meta stuff.

[Thess]

Sailieri's and Jeanne Alter are the ones most far off the actual plot, yes. Though they are all wrong

Spoiler for "spoiler" for the event? 'I dearly love your future':

and the ending will get modified anyway after Murasaki awakes. The biggest mistake they made is assuming the worst of Miguel by their bias, when the character is noble, self-sacrificial to the country, and loves Gabriella as his daughter. And the main core of the story, even if Gabriella is the surrogate of the audience. That's why Murasaki was mostly torn about who to cast. The rest are just filler.

Just realized it after seeing a meme about it but... How does Romani react to Merlin in Arcade?

Spoiler for arcade spoilers:

There's no mention of Romani or Animuspheres in Arcade. So fans suspect this is the 'false Chaldea' Merlin warned Bedivere against in Camelot (he told him the Chaldea with a man called Romani Archaman is the true/real Chaldea, so he can trust them), because Chaldea can't exist without them. The CM also announced it's "Another Chaldea" but it looks impossible that could exist when is an Animusphere workplace.

Arcade plot is very hinted to post part 1 (the Opening song is Mash toward Roman after part 1 according to official statements; this opening was a single with Cosmos in the Lostbelt song, both supposed to have spoilers given to Maaya by Nasu. Back Light probably about Lostbelts, Crypters and you know who in particular the latter -Lostbelts were said hidden by the backlight- and Blank Space is about grieving and continuing your journey in hopes you get what you lost back one day with Mash as center voice), so something is off. The location of "Chaldea" and the year is redacted. Servants who come from "Chaldea" like Da Vinci doesn't recognize Solomon's demon pillars but other Servants in "Singularities" do. Nasu is now writing Arcade Plot, so it might tie in with the mobage someday because it was foreshadowed by Merlin, and the OP song does have mention of lostbelts (again according to Sakamoto) so it was a little curious.
A lot speculate that the enemy is either Mother Harlot or something related to Solomon (like a timeline he never died or became the king of Magic; or his older brother was born alive). Mother Harlot makes more sense with the dragons.

Likewise, the Case Files "collab" was different for Arcade. But on this tangent, it's someone who is clumsily recreating the Incineration or rewriting memories/creating a simulation of it. We know the enemy is unable to recreate the pillar demon gods, and only can summon something with a bare appearance to them. The Beast "chain phenomena" doesn't take place here either (this is the only strike out Mother Harlot).

Edit: IMO, the final Arcade stage will be in this place. It was on the poster.

That looks an awful lot like Skadi's castle though... After a little google search...What I wonder is why everyone seems to think Nero is Mother Harlot, while GAwain thinks it's Tamamo.

Servants not keeping their memories is normal though.

Where did Maaya Sakamoto talk about plot stuff?

Da Vinci was the person who talked about the 72 demon gods in the mobage first (remember she infodumped), that she has no knowledge about them but Medusa does in the arcade is meant to hint something is wrong with her.

Spoiler for Speculation, and spoilers: Arcade story:

Mother Harlot is an assumption because the "pillar demons" fakes which are called "demonic beasts (animal sense, not Beast sense)" something I forget (brilliance?) are red and gold and have dragon heads. With Proto Merlin around, might have something to do with Beast VI. But wouldn't make sense if the Beast chain phenomena isn't presented in this world?

Anyway, it could also mean Manaka and her pet are the final bosses (that castle could be an eternal Camelot she desired to build for Arthur) while Mother Harlot takes the role of Tiamat as pre-final boss. Next "Singularity" is called Babylon instead of Babylonia (like Camelot was replaced by Jerusalem) with a completely different symbol and title which actually alludes to Mother Harlot ("Prosperous City", Mother Harlot is linked to prosperity and excesses). Some fans think the icon resembles Proto Gil's Master tower in Tokyo too. So expect Proto Gil as a helper.

I don't think that Nero is Mother Harlot as much as a Candidate for it. Mother Harlot seems to be a title for one of the halves of the Beast VI "crown name" IMO, like Mara is to Beast III, Kama and Kiara just achieved that Crown but neither are actually Mara (Mara itself might not exist outside of a title).

Tamamo is another kind of Candidate.

She gave two interviews about her songs. One was years ago with Nasu there too answering questions. When the single went out actually. Both talked about Back Light and Blank Space, and Maaya confirmed she added spoilers to the songs she sings as she did with Colors, it won't be obvious until the end. So yeah, Nasu told her everything.

The second was for the new single last year which had the new OP and the first Camelot movie song, she said that the second opening song is more about LB6 rather than the general cosmos in the Lostbelt plot (Back Light) so fans assume is Caster Arturia's POV (the opening visuals aren't necessarily connected to LB6 just the lyrics).

Going by that... What if Arcade is a future singularity or Losbelt?
The movies and everything else pretty much made male Fujimaru the Canon one, but we've also seen female Fujimaru.

Adding to that, Arcade could even be Carnival.

Depending on how serious you want to take GUDAGUDA events, we know the female protagonist exists too. And let's be honest here... She definitely came from Carnival

Depending on how serious you want to take events in the story, we know that there is a world where female Gudako exists, the canon one is the male fujimaru though.

No, the single came with two songs. One is Dynamic (was it that name?) which is the second opening of Cosmos in the Lostbelt, while the other is Monologue which is about Bedi and the first Camelot movie song. But when they asked her about the songs, she also spoke about the non movie ones.

She talked about how her songs are the POV of a certain character. In case of Colors, it's Mash during part 1 finale (in case of Blank Space, it's Mash also after part 1/during part 2 or Arcade, it's vague, but is about her feelings for Roman. Nasu called this song the "spirit/soul" of FGO in the oldest interview). Back Light is the same as Colors but the main POV of another character, not Mashu. She also said when they asked her a new song for OP she was in a bind because she already wrote what she wanted to write about the story after part 1 in those songs. So she made the new song about someone in LB6, which means she also knows specifically what happens in chapters and not just in general. If we had the Maaya Sakamoto VIP Pass.

Possibly. We don't know.
Arcade is a story written by Nasu himself. It began with only summaries screen slides of what happens after/before the battle, but, when Jerusalem hit, he started to write a story with dialogues and such. Camelot became Jerusalem, Babylonia became Babylon. There are a lot of theories about who is the boss, and this "Chaldea" is the biggest mystery. It doesn't help the OP song is Mash saying she'll rewrite the entire thing to have a happy ending with Roman, so maybe Mash is the surprise final boss. Although like I said, that song was a companion to Cosmos in the Lostbelt Opening song as Mash's POV after part 1, so may not be exclusively related to Arcade. Since we had a "helper" pseudo pillar demon god (Ozymandias had his Amon-Ra sprite during support battle), there's a lot of expectation of playable/helper Tiamat, Kingu, Solomon, and Goetia in Arcade first. We'll find out when Babylon drops.

At some point I expect Arcade to have a tie-in/crossover/collab with the mobage because it was brought up as part of the story mystery since Camelot (Merlin's warning to Bedi).

It's fine, she hit him with the blunt side of her shield.

Of her "sword" please.
