Yeah, I'm leaning more and more toward Youtube. I've been hearing for a while there is some spectacular stuff in LB7. If it's too slow, I can just increase the playback speed, that's one of the good thing about it.

I received a mail saying it may take a while to delete my account. They probably do it on purpose hoping people change their mind.

Probably. Although I suppose it might help in extreme situations like someone deleting accounts off someone's phone to mess with them. Though I'd hope that rarely happens . Either way, just have to ignore it until it's deleted. In my case the only thing that'll stop me playing the game is the end. Presumably of the game .

Hope you have fun keeping up with the story .

New event in a few minutes. Only new Servant is 5 star Alter Ego Azumi-no-isora(HibiChika). It's Hibiki and Chikagi from Carnival Phantasm as Servants. Kiyohime gets a new costume and a strengthening quest as well.

[Rizare]

Threw some rolls with the goal of getting another summer Kiyohime copy, only to then get Hibiki and Chikagi instead. That works too. Bunch of XP stacks were about to expire in present box.

[belatkuro]

Used 20 tickets. Only got NP2 Summer Kiyo and one copy of all the event gacha CEs. I still remember the pain of getting that one copy of Summer Kiyohime. Took me 2 years across from the original run to the rerun banners to get her. I ended up with NP4 Summer Tamamo instead which still remains my highest NP level from my 5 stars.

[FlareKnight]

Anniversary craziness was unleashed!

I can't really complain about how things went. Playing the Tsukihime remake left me wanting to roll a bit for Arcueid and tough to tell myself otherwise with a mountain of quartz being dropped! So I did manage to get her at NP1. More would be nice, but a couple hundred quartz is as much as I'm going to push my luck with!

The Destiny Order being early was a bit of a surprise, but not impossibly so. That is a good way to get people buying some paid quartz. Was fun putting together a roster for this. End result was my first copy of Summer Artoria. Even if I don't use her a ton, it'll be nice to have her on the roster.

And regular GSSR left me with Voyager. No real complaints there. While I had a few higher preferred pulls he was in the middle for that group. Gave me some extra copies of MHXX and Astraea also.

Overall I'm feeling pretty good. With tickets included I'm still over 1,500 quartz. My only real summer focus is Skadi and then it's off to saving for next year. I can work with this.

[Anh_Minh]

I got Konstantinos as an extra on the destiny pull. (Where I got NP2 Summer Kama.)

I got NP2 Arcueid in 44 pulls.

[AC-Phoenix]

With all the retroactive Quartz I pretty much got NP1 arc for free. Not taking NP 2 for now though.

Something I've never realized before regarding a certain Kykeon Witch: Is it just me or is her eye color outright wrong? I could have sworn Circe was known for having golden eyes.

It's not that evident in FGO, but they are clearly green in remnant.

[Homura7]

60 sq and around 15 tickets, Lady Avalon NP2 and Gareth. Great results, now to wait for Skadi banner.

I received an e-mail informing me my account has finally been deleted. It took a month. I'm happy I found a youtuber who uploads fast and has reading speed set to max. He also edits out all the extraneous stuff so that saves time. It's nice being able to enjoy the story without having to worry about farming.

Been following the Arctic Summer World event and Lady Avalon feels like even more of a troll than Merlin. I was a bit confused when she said she's part Incubus in today's section, wouldn't she be a succubus since she's female?

Erice is terrible at running a theme park but she's only 14 so I'm willing to cut her some slack. Kinda dropped a bomb when she said "a priest she had never seen in Chaldea" enjoyed her super spicy food. I guess the bad guys are on vacation as well

Also really funny Erice's swimsuit is a hundred times less revealing than her normal outfit. I did check her other ascensions and it's roughly the same.

I was wondering about the succubus part too. Probably some localization thing...

Looked her up on gamepress and her third skill is called "Succubus's vicinity", so it's definitely a mistake, though I don't know if it's a translation issue or if the mistake was also in the JP script.

Merlin and female!Merlin are technically both called "Inma" in Japan, which translates to "Dream Demon" iirc. Its not a gendered title like incubus/succubus so I'm guessing the translator ran into that while spacing out and forgot the context or something

[Rizare]

2 weeks of nothing from the looks of it for JP server. Maybe hunting quests?

They probably also forgot it when they made Goredolf say Proto is property of England

Edit:

So which of the new Valkyries is whose spiriton Dress?

I take Irs is one for Thrud, Run for Hildr and Ridr for Ortlinde?

Or is it
Rindr - Thrud
Run - Hildr
Irs - Ortlinde?
(Taking the second one by how they get positioned on screen compared to how the regular Valkyries are)

E2:
That being said, the Valkyries clearly haven't aged well... I was looking for a looping Lancer yesterday and immediately thought about Fionn and Percival, only then I realized " Oh wait..."
Which says a lot as the event is Valkyrie centric.

E3:
And Command Spell Plot kun strikes again.... Why not just use a command spell (or several) to get Skadi back in line?
Moreover, why don't they just shut down parts of the other park sections? Should at least be a lifeline.

From the news post about the event.

Use a Command Spell on Scathach-Skadi while she's holding a Holy Grail?

She'd probably eat it for a quick energy boost and then steal the rest of them for the lulz.

You're massively overestimating it's ability to control a Servant. Arturia and Heracles can resist multiple normal Command Spells, and the Chaldean variety are notably weaker. They're mostly just glorified steroids, big charges of magical energy. They can only do really major stuff when the Servant in question is totally in line with the command.

And yet, Gilgamesh was forced to retreat with just one in at least one instance.

I am mentioning it here in particular as the story itself says that she was severely weakened. In fact, she couldn't even escape Nightinggale's grip.

I also remember that resisting command spells wasn't exactly pleasant for Arthoria in the VN.
And Heracles, yeah he is Heracles. :Heh:

[Kanon]

Whether it would have worked or not is irrelevant. Ritsuka would never use a command spell against a servant's will, even if it's for their own good. Despite quite a few Servants insisting he shouldn't treat them so nicely, he sees them as comrades/friends.

That was in Zero, wasn't it? I'd chalk that up to a combination of "it's Zero so ignore it lmao" and Gil not wanting to humiliate himself by fighting against it in public.

By the time they realized Skadi was weakened, it was also super obvious she wasn't really doing this of her own will and the fight was basically just calming her down so they could talk.
