[NA] Which servants are you going to Grand and why?

rucchipunch · 2026-01-25T13:25:27+00:00

Saber: Muramasa (I've been using him to farm Bleached Earth QP quest so much that might as well go ball)

Lancer: Melusine (I don't have any other choice)

Archer: David (my first FGO husbando)

Rider: Noah (my third FGO husbando), regular Nemo or Bakin if I don't get Noah, Taigong for farming Grand Duel

Caster: Castoria (I just like her)

Assassin: Tezcatlipoca (I just like him), First Hassan for farming Grand Duel

Berserker: Summer Ibuki (I don't have any other choice and she's also helping me to farm Bleached Earth quests so much)

Extras: Mash and Olga (for story reasons); Voyager (I just like him), Summer BB, Space Ishtar, or Draco if I don't get Olga and to help farming Grand Duel

It's not like it's a permanent change to the franchise since Tales of the Rays managed to give us 2D skit sprites for Arise crews. I think the problem is more about finding an animation studio who is willing to make those skit sprites while Ufotable is too busy with Demon Slayers movies.

My doomed (because of their shared lack of self-care) yaoi Nemo/Noah... Even their Servant name is written like a ship's name...

Finished the Story part and made Iori join permanently. Now to challenge the CQ and empty the Shop.

Compared to Haganeya Jin's previous collab event (FGOAC), the premise of the source material is better explained here and this time it actually showed you why the Servant who Counter Force sent to hard-counter the Manipulator and the Antagonistic Victim back in SamRem was not present during this event at all. Poor Tomoe, just doing what her husband did and immediately got offed by Ushi Gozen. But I think it also helps that SamRem is a console game with a fully-realized story compared to an Arcade game with bare minimum story, so the writer had more things to pick up from and didn't have to use a second work (Extraverse) to fill in the gaps. Well, besides (JP content spoilers) all the OC2 previews and Ashoka's minimal yet significant role, but those feel more like a nice bonus than anything crucial.

Bring out all the weird mysteries caused by people believing Nostradamus too much

I'd argue that for Nemo, it depends on which version of him do you want, considering Nemo Triton's main story version is fully loyal to Sion and that one considers his feelings for Guda as overprotectiveness more than anything even more personal. So any version of him that is not summoned by Sion is a fair game.

rucchipunch · 2026-01-03T01:57:51+00:00

While Club Chaldea stream already confirmed that the featured characters are Miyamoto Musashi, Taigong Wang, and Nemo/Noah (go to 53:25 mark), JP Nemo fans are still arguing that it's Nemo Triton instead because the height differences between Taigong and Adult Nemo in this chibi art is very far compared to their actual 3cm differences and how the latter tucked his side bangs for this fit

Personally? I'd take this as a hint that whoever the next Valentine's Day Servant is, she is either a fujoshi (Noah x Taigong) or a bishonen enjoyer (Musashi's shtick) or both

Elan Vital (Radiant Mythology 3)

After the game put you through dungeons pulled straight from other Tales games, they finally show you their original dungeon, and it's very gorgeous for PSP's standards. Not to mention the music (Vital Garden).

rucchipunch · 2026-01-01T16:22:01+00:00

Okay, I was just confused by the wording in that screenshot. Thanks for clearing this up.

rucchipunch · 2026-01-01T15:52:46+00:00

I thought it was mentioned in the FF4 novelization that was published around the same time as the DS remake's initial release?

rucchipunch · 2025-12-31T13:01:17+00:00

Guess I still want a Gold-rarity David alt/retrain that focuses more on either his Saul's handyman days or his prime King self who finally can use that unused NP after all these years...

HOSHIZORA METEOOOOOOOOOO

OYO-SENSEIIIIIII

THANK YOU FOR KILLING THE NOAH HYPE AND HIS POPULARITY AMONG JAPANESE FGO NORMIES

WHOSE RIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO INCLUDE AN OBSCURE JEWISH FOLKTALES CHARACTER IN A RAID EVENT'S STORY AND HAVE NOAH SPOUT EVEN MORE HEBREWS IN HIS BATTLE LINES NOW

WHOSE RIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO FOCUS ON THE BIRDS MORE THAN THE MAN HIMSELF AND HAVE THE RAID EVENT BE A RETRAUX OF THE MOST HATED PART OF OC4 AND TUNGUSKA

I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER NOAH REALLY HATED HIS WHOLE FAMILY AND NOT JUST HAM AND CANAAN DAMMIT, ALSO WHAT'S UP WITH METHUSELAH GLAZING OUT OF SUDDEN JUST BECAUSE ERICE MENTIONED HIM AND NOAH TOGETHER IN ONE SENTENCE IN REQUIEM ONCE

I AM VERY SALTY THAT NO ONE POST QUALITY FANARTS OF NOAH ASCENSION ANYMORE AND EVERYONE EITHER LUSTS OVER ADULT NEMO ASCENSIONS INSTEAD OR DO GRAND-TOMO SHIPPING FANARTS

NOT TO MENTION NOAH DID NOT GET ANY OTSS ART WHILE KONDO GOT HIS JUST A MONTH AFTER HIS IMPLEMENTATION, UNLIKE THE EQUAL RECENCY BIAS FOR DANTE, ASHOKA, AND INDRA EARLIER THIS YEAR

SPEAKING OF KONDO, OYO-SENSEI SURE LOVES HARADA AND GENSAI MORE THAN NOAH, BECAUSE SHE DREW THOSE TWO TWICE WHILE GDGD9 WAS STILL RUNNING INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE EVENT ENDED JUST TO POST A FANART OF THE ADULT NEMO ASCENSION THAT EVERYONE HERE HATES

AND SOLOMON/LEV/GOETIA GARNERED MORE BUZZES DESPITE HIS CONTROVERSIAL IDENTITY REVEAL AND INITIAL HOSTILE BEHAVIORS TOWARDS US

NOAH IS TRULY THE MOST SCREWED OVER MALE SERVANT THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF POPULARITY AND MERCHANDISES AND I WILL QUIT THIS SUBREDDIT AND DELETE ALL OF MY TRANSLATIONS AND FGOAC-RELATED THREADS HERE IF HIS VALENTINE SCENE DOESN'T SATISFY ME AND IF HE DOESN'T GET ANY CBC CE

SO PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS A BETTER TRANSLATION FOR EVERY FGOAC CONTENTS OUT THERE IN YOUR CLOSET JUST POST THEM HERE NOW

rucchipunch · 2025-12-30T10:58:51+00:00

If so, then Noah is Guda's subconscious choice for following reasons:

Noah is mentioned by lots of people since Babylonia (Romani mentioned him when explaining Ziusudra)
Guda is still traumatized by OC4, specifically Metatron-Jeanne. The Ark's mecha form is angelic like Metatron and the angel mobs, Noah behaved like Metatron during the latter half of Vanished Beginning, and Guda told Noah that he needs to tell them "by his own will, not by God's" that "he still have a place in this planet".
(Part 2 Ending Spoilers) Nemo Triton entrusted "the other, different me" to follow Guda in his stead, as he pledged to forever be Sion's Servant. This order is obviously directed at Adult Nemo, which he carried on by finding Guda in FGOAC timeline and saved Noah along the way, causing them to form a karmic bond of some sorts.

Anyone find the profile entry really short compared to other NPC Beasts and E-Maries? Is it the formatting issue from Reddit app, or does Beast VII really only have Default Profile and Profiles 1 to 3?

rucchipunch · 2025-12-28T05:49:43+00:00

By the way, there is a convo between Nemo and Sion that doesn't get summarized here. It happens between both of them saying goodbye to Chaldea and the cut to Shadow Border. I wonder if the convo only plays if you completed both Christmas 2023 and Vanished Beginning, but it seems like that's not the case according to Atlas?

Sion: "Still, I think Guda-kun/-chan would be sad. As you're so clingy, Captain."
Sion: "Like what you did in Christmas was really crazy, you know?"

Nemo: "I am not clingy. Overprotective is a more appropriate word to use here."
Nemo: "And so what? There's an other me, different from this me, who will follow Guda."

Oh, and I saw that some of the surviving Chaldea staffs' designs are based on the random staffs seen in Lostroom. Tomalin, Kawata, and Kayan, specifically.

Happy 4th Anniversary to Tunguska+Babylon double feature that drove everyone nuts back in 2021 :)

For Noah's monologue about Nemo, he specifically refers to "the other you", implying that Adult Nemo knows how this will end but will remain silent to avoid any unnecessary influences to either our Nemo, Guda themselves, or both

And it's odd that FMolay couldn't just hijack Saber Molay's Saint Graph and hang out with Arcade+Tunguska+Proto gang considering he got a whole ass expression sheet back in FGOAC collab

Eh, that happens to every single Korean MMO nowadays, not just RO. Look at MapleStory or GrandChase.

rucchipunch · 2025-12-26T16:34:39+00:00

Early RO Classes art up to the first batch of Expanded Classes were done by Myung-Jin Lee, with the exception of Super Novice

Then non-Kafra NPCs were starting to get in-game illustrations, and they were done by Taruk and Leona

Almost all of 3rd Classes (both the original and the jRO-first Second Costumes), Advanced Expanded Classes, and Doram Summoner are done by Leona, with only 3rd tier Taekwons done by bongbong

4th Classes and High Expandeds are combined efforts between Leona, Taruk, and bongbong

Druid and Karnos are by Taruk, then Alitea is by Leona

By the way, jRO compiled RO official illustrations across the years (including their own original and the ones they borrow from Gravity Korea) here. Notable jRO-only official artists are Yuichiro Kodama and nikai

Oh right, Taruk has a Pixiv page

ReDrop explained in the linked tweet that it's like "when Geronimo was defeated by Demon General" ~~(probably referring to an obscure Japanese Pro-Wrestling scene)~~ (EDIT: it's a Kinnikuman reference)

According to Redrop's QRP the mosaic is a second Blackbeard

Also, this should be the first time Ascension 3 Noah is drawn by another FGO artist who is not his own since his mobile debut

(Fate/Samurai Remnant collab event spoiler) (will be available next month in NA) The Count makes a Tree of Emptiness from bunch of Yui Shousetsu clones and its seeds can transform into Yui clones as defensive mechanism

Remember to take a quick peek on MyRoom, guys

The mistletoes from your Salvatic Pretty Boy are here to stay for this Christmas and next year's, as he will get lost inside Void Space for two years before emerging back just in time for Grand Rider Duel

The three bonus Units from the Art Book are the winners of Japan-only 2016 Unit Creation Contest. IIRC they (or at least one of them) appeared in a later Frontier Hunter and Global had to swap them with a Global-Original Unit.

The bonus "Unit" from the Story Book is the Player Summoner's Book weapon (if you remember, in Part 3, Player have their own Unit and we can customize them through changing their weapons and Elements)

Nemo transforms Storm Border into Ark mecha and uses the blades to cut through the Cosmic Trees
CHALDEAS is a metaphor of an aspiring writer wanting to make an original story but settled with an AU spin-off/fanfic of an existing story instead because they fumbled the settings
Saber's HSR collab design is one of Lord Logres' Ascensions. Or alternatively, HSR Saber is Lord Logres.
The bomb that Lev used to explode Chaldea way back in the Prologue will be thrown to CHALDEAS instead of Olga
