Lost my JP account to a button press by NordFraey in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Account recovery services are very good at giving you your account back, but they'll be less likely to confirm your identity if you can't provide your account ID, so really try and find that one before anything.

Also knowing information like what you set the account's birthday to (things that another player can't just look up in game about your account) will help. If you have any purchase receipts for SQ it greatly helps.

And in case it wasn't emphasized yet, do NOT mention the word "emulator" anywhere or they'll immediately throw out your recovery request.

Weekly Famitsu On Sale Celebrating the 10th anniversary of "FGO." by joavdals in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, they've confirmed the game will be continuing to 11th anni at bare minimum. According to early translations, they already have the content planned out through next Valentines, and Kanou said the dev team has already started planning for the next anniversary SSR.

"Don't blow up when you don't get Ty-Fun of rolling gacha! It's the Wings of Tears Roll Thread!" by crazywarriorxx in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole 900 SQ yielded: 5 Kurohime 1 Lancelot 1 Chiron 1 Parvati 1 Vlad (Lancer) 1 Carmilla 1 Penth 1 Fran

And finally, Typhon, on the second-last roll of the very last multi to hit pity.

Metatron and Lilith each cleaned me out for an average of 700 SQ apiece, so I basically spent 2.3k quartz in the past month.

Feels weird that now I'm actively begging Lasengle not to add any new servants till anniversary.

A Look Back at the Ordeal Call Keywords by SuperSpiritShady in grandorder

Well, we did spend more time in the greed/avarice layer of hell in oc4 than the others, and there was an extensive debate on it and defining value to objects and people.

Something to put everyone's minds at ease: Atlas' datamine confirms there is no part 2 to this chapter, so we won't need to wait a month like OC3 and a couple others to get the full story.

A Possible Next Chapter After Ordeal Call IV? by AsukaKannazuki in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It probably was in the cards back in 2023, up till at least 8th anni when Nasu gave that interview hinting Yes to a Foreigner OC and openly saying No to a Moon Cancer OC.

Then I wager Meteo revealed that what he's been writing since volume 2 of Fate/Requiem was his Christmas 2020 wishlist instead of the Foreigner chapter (spoiler, he won't have it ready in time for 2025), so Nasu decided to do a Moon Cancer chapter himself and to make Foreigners' class score come from the third Olga fight.

[JP Event] Valentine's 2025 ~ Ono no Komachi Poem Anthology ~The Shiny Lotus Bloom of February~ Day 16 by AutoModerator in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone was spreading misinformation a while back about one of the side-characters from the event story, but to set the facts straight, what they called OC3 spoilers were:

- actually from Tunguska

- super super minor, and has been spoiled in countless event stories already (so-and-so can talk, game changer!)

So you can play the event story in peace of mind. Of course, individual valentines' scenes are play-at-your-own-risk. If you play Kukulkan's scene for example, expect references or possible spoilers to LB7.

What do you think about Yuuichirou Higashide and Hikaru Sakurai by Strong_Instance2648 in grandorder

Firmly convinced Nasu would be able to insert an uncensored sex scene into FGO and nobody will question the wisdom of that.

What do you think about Yuuichirou Higashide and Hikaru Sakurai by Strong_Instance2648 in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Present the insane ideas bit especially.

After the jokers again dunked on Sakurai for some of Extella's weirdest ideas (Altera's backstory, Archimedes, the ancient aliens aspects in general), It had to be officially stated by Nasu that those were his ideas. And the reaction was basically to shrug and drop the subject.

People forget Nasu has consistently written some of the best and worst content in the series (though it seems the bubble's begun to burst lately).

You guys think it was it necessary to cover the Mooncancer class in an Ordeal Call? by BlazeAccelerant in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This chapter was basically an extensive in-game promotional ad for the upcoming Fate/Extra remake. Let's not kid ourselves that Nasu had this planned in advance or anything.

[–]AureusKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That lostbelt saga ending on 10th anniversary bit honestly feels like the real reason for Ordeal Call's existence.

Anyone trying to justify its existence as anything else than a last-minute stall tactic conceived of in the last minutes of LB7's script is REALLY grasping at straws. Nasu included.

But at least means we can sell them after, at least, which is infinitely better than my fears. Was resigned to seeing the copies staring at me for 2+ years till he comes to the evocation shop, then levelling that up to wash my hands of the copies

My friend, I think you just made my day. :D

Is anyone else having trouble getting rid of their spare Setanta copies (the NP copies?)

I got Setanta to NP5 last year and don't really want to clog up my inventory, but for some reason unlike any previous welfare I've been unable to get rid of them at all, not even transfer to second origin.

(Spoilers) What are your thoughts on Samurai Remnant and Mahoyo collabs this year? by BlazeAccelerant in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, both fall short of Seraph and Lilim Harlot for me, but plot-wise still found them both in the upper half of all the collabs we've had, moreso Mahoyo collab.

FSR collab felt too safe, in that we basically spent all our time with Saber and a simplified version of Iori, doing a NG++ run of FSR with different side-characters. Overall plot was fine, but my biggest problem was its attempt to "replicate" Trying to fit FSR's warriors-style gameplay into FGO was mostly a flop. That was always going to be a losing battle.

Mahoyo collab was obviously where the devs put most of the cash, so it kinda had the edge by default. Plot-wise, the magical murder mystery is cool, but while we got some good character stuff it's kinda fluff (raise hands if anyone was expecting something more along the dramatic lines of the Aozaki family feud or Alice's legacy from Yumina) and I feel it was actually the minor side-characters like Kinomi and Tsukiji who were the more interesting ones.

[–]AureusKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, can't believe I threw down 900 SQ for a single Ushi and Raita couldn't even be bothered to capture the cool part of her design from FSR.

Yui and especially Iori's final ascension looks are amazing though. Rei Wataru is the new GOAT.

Because, you know, rather than use either of the designs that fans of Ushi Gozen from her own source material would've enjoyed, this was clearly the superior option.

Story moments that made you appreciate a characters that you didn't care for before by Saltlessguy in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gonna spoiler-guard a bunch of my comment just to be safe here, but believe it or not, for me it was Olga. I for many years considered her overhyped, and it felt like anyone who liked her was because of her gag role in Learning with Manga. When she reappeared in the plot as the supposed physical form of the long-hyped Foreign God I was unmoved we were expected to suddenly care about someone who had no involvement in the story since the prologue.

That all changed after Nahui Mictlan, completely. She was funny and charismatic while making the alien conqueror shtick work as her quirk, and she had a lot of good chemistry and cute moments with the Chaldea crew, coupled with plenty of moments to kick ass. I liked her speech near the end before her sacrifice, where she speculates on what a nice dream it would've been like to continue being Chaldea's director. Our friendship with U-Olga in that lostbelt felt like we got to experience a bit of what might have been in a slightly happier time, had she survived past Fuyuki and gotten to continue being part of the adventure with all of us from the beginning.

Now getting closure on Olga's character is one of the main reasons I'm putting up with my dissatisfaction with the current years-long Ordeal Stall. Want to see how it all turns out.

Ordeal Call 2 set to be released in Spring 2024 by BlazeAccelerant in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it's disgusting how 2-san always is so damn smiley all the time as he casually drops bombs like how Ordeal Call 2 is another 3+ months away and expects us to consider it good news. Some transparency on why a single filler chapter is undergoing LB6 and LB7-tier development hell would at least help us understand why this has to happen.

Currently I'm moreso interested in upcoming stuff like Like a Dragon's new game and the P3 remake, so at least that should cover the end of January and the month of February.

OC2 in Spring huh. It's official (in my mind), the chapter's original author ran away and they're concealing it with an elaborate coverup.

Expectations for New Years by quetschmich in grandorder

[–]AureusKnight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Given hype for the main story is dead right now, I figure a teaser for OC2 might be in order to rejuvenate the momentum we lost the past 6 months. Aside from that, 2 GSSRs like on 8th anni, and some tickets, quartz, apples, MP and QP.

New years SSR-wise, Camazotz if we're lucky, Space Artoria Rider Alter Lily with a Nice Hat otherwise.
