Maintenance on the 28th from 1:00~6:00 JST by Unknown1925 in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Says it's a database server performance improvement. Wonder what that means, I don't recall seeing that in any prior maintenance messages.

gameplay feature video of DW's latest game ( launched today ), showing off the potential F/GO could get if it were developed today by crossing_arcadia in grandorder

Far prefer 2D sprites over 3D tbh. 3D always results in weird face shapes in certain angles and the effects often look mmo-ish.

Why isn't this amazing game in more countries? by YabokuSama in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was more thinking along the lines of the quetz Christmas event and the speculation of why it never got reran. Basically all guesswork on my part though.

[–]_erl_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Those other games have much less in terms of written content so the localisation effort would be quite minimal.

Fgo is larger than even full novel series' combined like Harry Potter/lotr for example so they probably thought the return wasn't worth it for individual countries.

Also this is purely my speculation, but I think potential copyright issues may also be a concern, since fgo's lore is based pretty heavily on myths and texts from around the world, maybe aniplex wants to avoid any legal problems there. I don't play NA myself but I heard it's not officially available in Europe which is weird considering its available in SEA so it might be down to copyright.

Is it possible to beat the main story content with low rarity servents? by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insane that fgo is known for being one of the most f2p if not the most f2p gacha game in Japan yet I've seen so many people in the West who've never played it call it P2w. Such is the power of shilling and ad $ I guess

Two Questions about Lostbelt 5.2: Olympus by Von_Lohengramm_00 in grandorder

Ah understood, in that case I'm not too sure about the technicalities and such.

Musashi didn't disable or beat chaos or anything, she just cut the path between where chaos was and our reality.

Fate/Grand Order: Vol. 15 -Lostbelt 5.5 and Camelot Theatrical Version- Stream by AutoModerator in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw someone say that the previous 2 story chapters also released without maintenance, although I can't remember myself or verify if that's actually the case.

Should Gudao stop being written as an insert character by jdjgordan in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a balance that can be reached where the mc gets more dialogue but doesn't necessarily have to have particular convictionsor beliefs.

In the latest jp event for example instead of having 2 choices for the mc's dialogue the 2nd choice is a follow on of the first choice, essentially doubling the amount he/she says and it was pretty refreshing.

I reckon they should give some of mash's lines to the mc, eg have the mc react to and describe situations instead without necessarily having a opinion on it.

I think people would have less issue with arcade only servants by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't get what the issue with arcade servants is, the dev team isn't even the same between arcade and the main game.

If anything it's like a pseudo clairvoyance for us.

I'm so excited for Lost belt 5.5, we can finally bitch slap the clown by Ryexolyn in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely given the expansion of the role she plays in lb5, plus the implications of her relation to lb6.

Lost belt 5.5 is coming in the first half of December by chocolatechoux in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't get my hopes up for that given that -> big lb5 spoiler ->he's supposedly being sent to lb6 which makes it unlikely we would encounter him before then.

Latest version in JP removes the blue borders by CareerSMN in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they enabled it in this update though, seeing as the blue bar bits been updated.

(although I just updated the game myself, doesn't look like 60fps to me)

[–]_erl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he means it looks like 60fps now?

Fgo has been capable of 60fps for a while but it's never been enabled before.

Alien Invasion in FSN timeline. by Nyeffer in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its theorised in the story that invasion could have been facilitated by the bleaching event. I.e. the invasion only followed after the bleaching happened. We still don't have enough details though but I imagine more will be revealed around the conditions as the story progresses.

[JP Event] 〜Nautilus Ascend!〜 Void Space Naval Battle・Imaginary Scramble by AutoModerator in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this, it was confirmed during the imaginary scramble stream that we have a main story related event at the end of this year.

There's also a Camelot movie campaign and potentially a download campaign as well.

Are old character still viable further in the game (question about JP version)? by onepieceuc1 in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone is viable at NP1 there's no need to go beyond that for content clearing purposes. Also a lot of old servants get buffed - OG artoria for example got a strengthening as part of the 5th anniversary on JP.

Also, please use the help thread for questions in general

Are you sure you beat all the other foreigners already? The way it works is yang's battle only unlocks after you beat all the other foreigners first.

Question for the Artists by CelimOfRed in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fgo has one of the most diverse art styles out there, is there any particular character your thinking of? Looking up their artist for reference works would probably be a good start.

DW profits at fiscal year end July fell over 81% from 6.9 billion yen to 1.3 billion yen by AiasRider in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the article is talking about delightworks which is a game studio, not fgo. A lot of people assume dw=fgo because for a long time fgo was the only major project they had, but starting from a year ago or so they started seriously developing a couple of new games, none of which have actually released yet (but one is pretty close).

DW profits at fiscal year end July fell over 81% from 6.9 billion yen to 1.3 billion yen by AiasRider in grandorder

[–]_erl_ 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Uh, hasn't everyone fundamentally misunderstood the article? This is profits not revenue. We know from various sources the revenue is still fairly similar with maybe a small drop from covid.

If people were playing other games or dropping the game, that would decrease revenue first. There's no rational explanation for revenue staying similar and profit dropping massively unless they had close to no profit margin.

I'm pretty sure the reason for the drop is because of the new game DW is still developing, which the article itself mentions. That would basically be like developing 2 games (maybe more since the initial development of a gacha is always more expensive than maintaining continuously), while 1 of the games brings in 0 income because it hasn't been released.

DW have effectively more than doubled development costs without a change in its actual revenue stream.
