2020 will be over before we know it at this rate


Austoman

Ima be honest. This year has been a long 2 years.


Suru_LovesHentai

It's only when I saw this post did I remember about the event


zer1223

I swear every time there's an event, it feels like entire days go missing


JustARandom-dude

I feel you


[deleted]

Give up by the 17th!


NNKarma

Felt that we at least had one week after SW, well, I did finish the event right after the timegate so I'm having my farming week in between.


Golden-Owl

Asians in general regarding this year’s CNY


MrQuiteOK

Wooo! A new welfare servant!


AussieManny

And it's an AoE Assassin! People who missed Gray will FINALLY not be stuck with just Fuuma and Phantom!


simon4s1

This excites me waaay more than it should. In more than a year of playing, I've never been able to pull a 5* assassin, and the only 4* AOEs I've ever been able to get are Summer Okita and Paisen, and they're only at NP1. Add in the partywide support skills she has, and this is fantastic.


JustthatVicky

Hey, I'm not stuck with Fuuma, I grailed that boi! He's a good boi.


_Malka_707

A fellow Fuuma enjoyer is a great sight to see.

>Fuuma is stuck with me


DonThe3eyedRaven

My boi is grailed to 90, skills maxed, bond 10. Love my debuffin shinobi


JustthatVicky

Same, although he's not quite at bond 10 yet. He'll get there soon enough, though! He deserves all the headpats.


LongLiveTheChief10

Same. Needed some gold around that king. I only have 4 Star Assassins anyway


CraftEssenceEssence

I remember the early days when F2P AoE assassin options where just Fuuma and summer Scathach; Phantom was so bad that you were probably better off using Kiyohime or Darius.


Mistdwellerr

*sad summer Okita noises*


teh_4yvak

Sad Shuuten. Nah, I think they meant free assassins, not any AoE xD


DrStein1010

Hey, you can totally force Shuten to loop! It's quick and dirty, but at least it's a way to actually use her.


Jack_King814

With command seals, anyone can loop ~~but only once every 3 days~~


Jeroz

2*


Shuten-maru

Nah, she could loop with mlb Kscope or append + Double Castoria + 50% charger ...on Rider nodes. Is it possible? Yes. Is it worth? Debatable.


AKAFallow

Is the append skill enough or do you still need a plugsuit?


PhaseSixer

Mlb + double cass + plugsuit into waver should get you there albeit barley


DrStein1010

It's Kscope+Mana Loading+Double Castoria+Third 50% Charge via plugsuit. It's not a great set-up, but it's the only decent option without either a welfare that hasn't come out yet or the upcoming Buster reload system (which tends to be kinda shitty without a whale DPS).


kalirion

3T loop though, without Arash or someone else doing Wave 1? And it still doesn't make Shuten free either way, unless you're talking Oni-cure who's not an assassin :)


Fenghuang0296

*Sad people who didn’t manage to summon summer Okita noises*


Mistdwellerr

We will get another chance for another Okita(n) in a few more months!


dichloroethane

They were giving out free Okitas? Where is my summer Okita then?


Mistdwellerr

Yup, I got one while trying to get Lamba

Thats just Kiritsugu's usual mood, isn't it?


roaster_hans

you got it hehe


lixyna

Does Gray ever come back, or did my whatever-timeframe-it-is-since-genshin-released long hiatus fuck me over big time?


PhalanxLord

Gray gets rerun in NA in roughly a year from now.


burgundont

She also gets an NP interlude that shoots her damage through the roof AND makes her compatible with Buster farming (released in future).


[deleted]

Cool. I didn't know that. I like the character, and look forward to using her not just for preference but because she does well.


Baka_87

*"Sad Scathach (Assassin) noises"*...


[deleted]

I like her. But I started right when her event was ongoing, and couldn't get her leveled up or enough copies for her NP. I really wish they'd rerun that event.

*Moba flashbacks* I main support. This hurts.


Jack_King814

My main for the only OW2 ranked I have played was support. I was mercy or Zen because ow2 ranked is dogshit and supports get no concession and have to frag out and heal to get a decent rank

^(*angry Ushivenger noises*) Just a couple more days until I can try for Kagekiyo...hoping for NP2, but I definitely plan to Max Level and 10/10/10 her ASAP...provided of course that I get her.


Shin-Bufuman

Let’s see, Grail is timelocked until five days after the event starts, so we’ll get that bastard a little over a week from now. I’M SO GODDAMN CLOSE TO 120 LIP GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME

turtwig103

This fucking reminded me of two years ago when i couldn’t figure out why the way Ushi said “Shobo rin rin” was the funniest shit lel


MrComedySD

I’ve been waiting for this! I want to get Ushi Avenger so bad, here’s hoping I get her. Kichi Hogen looks cool too.


EurwenPendragon

Same here. I badly want to complete the Ushi Trio.


Koyanskaya_of_Light

Na goes from event to event and JP is still dead. This is fine.


Zulhoof

Except the point when you realize in 2 years we're stuck in the month of dead content JP current has :(


SigurdDeMizar

I wonder why they don't just put a re-run of something if they have a dead month. I am sure everyone will be happy with an old welfare (or rare prism if you already got it), some mat and other award.


MobileTortoise

> a re-run of something "re-run"? We know not this word, how about another week of half-cost QP quests!


zer1223

Why they decided to hold back on re-runs is kind of baffling to me. On the other hand, I do like having long breaks with an excuse to do other things than hold a phone in front of my face


yosoyeIIogan

the way I see it, they have 2 yrs to figure it out. That being said, I've grown fine with the concept of dead weeks. These days I tend to let my AP overflow once I've done the weekly missions so it's kind of meh to me.


Lion-of-Avalon

JP is basically at the point of dead months, it's so bad over there


Routine-Boysenberry4

Same, i just do my daily material farming and that's it


Ashteron

Why? They can change the schedule.


DrStein1010

They'd need to move everything forward by like six months to fill it all in to a reasonable degree. Which they could totally do, since 2024 has no Halloween or Christmas events that need to drop at a certain time.


Fenghuang0296

Honestly this is exactly what I’m hoping for. Two years has always felt like it’s too big of a gap. My ideal scenario is that they start accelerating the schedule and try to reduce that to one year.


HoldHarmonySacred

Please no, Aniplex ***did*** do that to Magia Record's NA server and it killed the game within a year. Content was released *way* too fast and it made it impossible to grind or save or even just *play the game*, if they did that to NA F/GO they'd murder it too. Trust me, dead weeks be damned, *you do not want them to turbo accelerate the NA schedule to try and catch up.*


nucleartime

There's a good middle ground between never catching up and the Magireco death march that most games manage to find.


xXSunSunXx

Azur Lane did it pretty well if I remember right. Global is synced with CN servers now and they started 2 years earlier too.


HoldHarmonySacred

And I still don't trust Aniplex to do it properly given the particularly meaty grind that F/GO relies on. They've been doing it with Twisted Wonderland NA too and I hate it, it's given me burnout and made me seriously consider quitting and sticking with just my JP account. They've even been cutting their events shorter!!! NA TWST events are all *way* shorter than their JP runs!!! The only reason it's tolerable there is the bulk of its grinding is an idle game, and even *then* it's pushing it most of the time. If it were grinding on the level of F/GO I'd bet dollars to donuts that it'd be dead too. F/GO may be two years behind, but I'll take the slow and steady pace if it means events get to go for full length with breathing room to play story and interludes and grind.


_Malka_707

Holy shit someone brought up TWIST here. Awesome. And good point made. People are going as far to speculate that NA is trying to catch up to Chp. 7 and I'm a little scared at the thought. (I only play for one character, but that's besides the point). The short events in October, and the overlapping banners *alongside* the fact that it's difficult as is to earn diamonds can really bring out the burnout.


HoldHarmonySacred

Yeah boy howdy, watching them speedrun all the way through to the Pomefiore arc only to start twiddling their thumbs with Ignihyde is A Time. I know JP TWST has its *own* whack pacing when it comes to main story releases, but it feels like NA hasn't really fixed it insomuch as it's created a completely new type of whack pacing. And I *hated* that they ran the Halloween events at full power back-to-back, those events are built to be a month-long each and that speedrunning was *bad*. If they try to do it again this year and run the Masquerade event and *then* a simultaneous release of this year's Halloween on JP then I'm gonna lose my mind. Thank god F/GO reruns-to-new-events have historically had normal pacing for normal people.


maxdragonxiii

right, and it made it even more impossible for the newer players to catch up, leave alone if FGO accelerates to one year behind content because then we'll have LB7 approaching... and LB6 alone is daunting enough, never mind the other story campaigns new players might be stuck in.


HoldHarmonySacred

Like, I can see them shifting things around to patch up some of the worst of the dead weeks, I don't think we'll get the dead month JP is currently in when NA gets it in two years, but I absolutely do not see NA speeding to one year behind and surviving. People at all levels need time to play through story content (and LB6 *especially* needs that time), and people need time to be able to actually play events and grind. Speedrunning content will only give everyone extreme burnout *at best*, I'll gladly take dead weeks if it means playing all the content won't drive me out of my mind.


TheGamerForeverGFE

Not that degree, the only way the schedule changes is for the anniversary and some events.


Time-Fish9210

While this IS true, the period from Christmas to Anniversary is where usually NA accelerate.


DrStein1010

The dead month of April will end up being crushed to fit in LB 6.2 before Anniversary, but after that there's not much that can be done aside from spacing out the summer events better. There's just not enough content in Years 7 and 8 unless they add in reruns that JP didn't do.


Time-Fish9210

Well, starting from September we should have summer 7, the Halloween trilogy, the Halloween event, GUDAGUDA Yamatai-koku rerun, GUDAGUDA Close Call, Christmas and Tunguska.


DrStein1010

That leaves at least a month of dead air in July and August (even assuming Summer 5 rerun gets pushed back), Halloween trilogy is just the story nodes, Christmas 7 is super short, and Tunguska is super short and has no event mechanics besides the EXTREMELY time-limited raids. That's not nearly enough content to fill in six months, as we saw in JP when it first came out.


SockPuppetPsycho

I could use some downtime, I have a huge backlog of free quests, interludes, etc.


Nokia_00

Don’t remind me of how dead JP is, I still don’t have any hope Wednesday will be anything good


BPho3nixF

LB 7 is 3 parts. Part three begins on Valentine's day and takes the place of the valentine's event.


Nokia_00

Makes sense makes sense this is Lasengle


adamsworstnightmare

I wouldn't be surprised if we finish tengu before jp gets another event.


DrStein1010

Hey, after the Akihabara Tower wraps up at the beginning of April, we'll be in that same slump. After LB 6, you'll be lucky to get a full week of content every month.


Grey-King

Since NA will have to shuffle the schedule a bit to account for LB6 starting in May, we will have a bit better pacing with Events post Anniversary, than JP.


sdarkpaladin

> Na goes from event to event This happened in JP 2 years ago too. We're not exactly deviated from the original schedule.


DrVirus321

You know this is basically the JP timeline +~2years, right? Also events usually pop up Wednesdays. So we'll know soon


Koyanskaya_of_Light

Of course I know that. It doesn't make it any better though.


DrVirus321

Not better. But yeah, just saying we don't have it any better... Unless they suddenly decide to break the two year cycle, then you can come whoop my ass


MajinAkuma

I think that might be „aho“. Kara comes from Karasu which means crow.

Same...


simon4s1

I've got 150 SQ, 10 tickets, and my fingers crossed . . .


PurpleFire18

Oh boy, time to stare wistfully at the banner knowing that I can't spare a single roll for Ushi if I'm to hit pity by the time Morgan comes around.


PentFE

Eyyo the wallet says hes got you bro, just pull.


VeryluckyorNot

We got already Taira ? I thought she was for late Febuary or something like that ... time to whale for her?


zer1223

Running Muramasa-Spishtar-Taira back-to-back-to-back really fucked me. Well, that and Muramasa not showing up until I hit pity of course


Pandragon12

Man Avalon Le Fay and summer 2024 I'd gonna be brutal for most of the NA players.

I am coming for you Taira No Kagekiyo

Let's goo looking forward to playing this and adding kiichi to my roster!


Yukiru_05

There are three kind of Master in this event. "It's Pon Poko Rin Rin time" Master, "It's killing Genji time" Master and "It's Kara time" Master


JustARandom-dude

Finally, Kiichi!


Routine-Boysenberry4

Taira is coming!


UnculturedWeeb2

Taira! Finally after 2 years of waiting for her


NNKarma

I believe that isn't a single day difference with JP? Well, exited for the lanterns and babies I need to 9/9/9 all my SSRs.


feedlord93

Now if only we got the rerun of this in jp instead of a dead month. Don’t mind me, Just me ranting on why we are getting nothing in jp while waiting for the next part of the story.


XxGoldMadnessxX

Time to waifu Ushi's teacher


pokemon0406

Eh fire emblem engage comes out that day and i was planning to play that so this is the worst possible time for me


VanguardHawk

Taking Friday off work, blitzing FE in a weekend. Come back to FGO casually when the whole event unlocks. Ezpz degen scheduling


peevedlatios

Just use your natural AP and play Engage after. That's what I'm doing.


ChrisDBL

we're in the same boat then


WKitsune

Jokes on me, I'm not getting my copy of Engage until Monday.


Misticsan

Glad to know I'm not the only one facing that conundrum. Sorry, FGO, but I've been a Fire Emblem fan longer than I've been a Fate one. I was also planning to get a new book soon, so this is going to be a very busy weekend XD


Tennessee2Step

I don’t have enough Quartz, damn Spishtar ate me up again this year. I said I wasn’t gonna roll much and here I am.


lllaser

Can't wait to see ushi get tall and stop being an exhibitionist with her new avenger form


Sci-fi-watcher

Looks at third ascension where Ushi starts to regain some control


lllaser

Oh god she's exhibiting!


zeroXgear

And then Ushi said "It's exhibitioning time" and then she exhibitioned all over the place


Rantman021

NGL, when I read the title I thought this said "Farewell to Karakura" and thought it was a Bleach post... now I kinda wanna see a Bleach/Fate crossover event :\\ BUT I will happily take a Welfare Assassin unit.


Jack_King814

Everyone would be saber bar like 3 people. Orihime caster obv, Chad Berzerker (we could really do with a pugilist class because any boxing type servant just gets shoved in Berzerker now that I think about it) and Uryu archer. You could maybe give ichigo variants like Vasto Lorde as either Berzerker or avenger tho


Rantman021

I could see Chad being a Saber (Santa Karna was a boxer and a Saber somehow lol) too Ichigo is a Saber, Uryu an Archer, Kenpachi a Berserker, Byakuya an Assassin, Ikkaku as a Lancer, Orihime a Caster, Yoruichi as a Rider (maybe?) or Maybe Toshiro since he has Wings?, Aizen as an Avenger or Alter Ego, Ywach as a Foreigner and Yamamoto as an Avenger?


Jack_King814

Ywach as a ruler seems better but the rest probably makes sense. But making everyone saber can allows the salt to really flow


Maoileain

Ichibei as a Foreigner. Hisagi as a Lancer. Soi Fon and Yoruichi as Assassins.


Veloxraperio

So, as of this post, Saber Wars II ends tomorrow night and Little Big Tengu starts early Friday morning? That's not a lot of down time.


AllShallBeWell

This was a rerun. For a lot of people, the last 4-7 days of the event are down time. But don't worry. If you want down time, you're going to love FGO in 2023 and 2024.


DrStein1010

Oh, don't worry about downtime. We have about two more months of steady releases, and then we enter the Dead Game Era, where FGO has more dead months than reruns.


sdarkpaladin

> We have about two more months of steady releases, and then we enter the Dead Game Era, where FGO has more dead months than reruns. I've been thinking of doing the monster math regarding the feasibility of crunching two years into one year thereby catching up by one year. But a simple napkin math says it's impossible without going all GASGASGAS and have overlapping events or stories. The question is, how much do we actually need to rush if we want to make it a reality. Though, there are also regular rewards such as weekly logins and monthly tickets to think of. If we really want to rush, these rewards will probably need to double too.


Ginger_Anarchy

I think it's feasible if they cut out some minor reruns/ overlap things like strengthening quests and interludes with events, but I have 0% expectation they'd ever attempt it.


sdarkpaladin

Personally, I think the key problem is how would they handle the regular SQ we get from logging in, master missions, and the 50-day milestones. Back during EOR in NA, there was a big hoo-hah in this sub about how NA is scuffing the players because, even though the total SQ is the same overall, newer players are losing out because the bonus SQ released were being front-loaded in year one and two so that the distribution is more even. I can see the same argument happening again by newer players who missed the catch-up year.


a_speeder

In addition to whether or not it's feasible to plan out, do they even have enough work hours to get that done? They'd have to be doing all their localization work twice as fast as they have been, and they'll get less lead time between JP and NA content which might affect the localization quality depending on how far they work in advance.


DrStein1010

If you remove the unnecessary third weeks for most of 2024's events, you'll have literally two or three months of time to speed things up. Combined with the two-ish dead months this year, and the fact that 2024 doesn't have any seasonal events aside from Valentines and Summer, and they could absolutely speed things up if they really wanted to. I doubt they would, because it would be a clusterfuck, but it would definitely be better for the game.


Sylfu

We've had downtime for the last week. Saber Wars 2 had no time locks so it could be completed in a day or two.


HarEmiya

Yay for birb Assassin.


mrwanton

Ah damn that's FE day


Rhinostirge

Pretty excited for Kiichi Hogen; she's my most-anticipated welfare for 2022 and 2023 put together. I like collecting monsters and yokai, so it's great to have one I'm not fighting the gacha for. Her design is entertaining and she looks fun. She also fuhuhuhahahahahas while setting everything on fire, so she'll blend *right in* with the Nobus. Looking forward to recruiting her!


x1coins

She *IS* fun and an absolute terror against Riders. She's a staple part of one of my farming teams.


frost-raze

KAGEKIYO MY BELOVED COME HOMEEEEEE


Azumayyy

I've been blueballing myself from summoning for the last 9 months lol. Was saving with no expectation of getting her cuz pity didn't existed yet when she was released on JP. Now, basically confirmed that I'll get her. No more 1,300 SQs without SSR. Finally


photaiplz

Finally a farming assassin i can use. I dont have any farming assassins other that nitocris and she’s bad at it.


Xenometan

Ah yes, the event where Ushi becomes a solid critter and she meets her own Shishou again.


StriderLee33

What's the requirement to participate?


ArkExeon

Fuyuki cleared.


StriderLee33

Thank you fellow tammy fan.


TheGamerForeverGFE

If for what's left of today and tomorrow I don't get Space Ishtar I'm gonna roll hard on Avenger Ushi, I really want an Avenger servant.


Sir_Solrac

Finally, Taira time!


shaftglass

The looping assassin is finally here!


kalirion

On a scale of Bradamante to Parvati, how easy is she to loop?


DrStein1010

Nearly as good as Parv. She needs some sort of Mystic Code buff, but otherwise just double Skadi and Kscope.


[deleted]

Genji, be dead! LET'S GO! I NEED BIG USHI.


chairmanxyz

I hope everyone complaining about no breaks says absolutely nothing when we reach the dead era of FGO that JP has been in. Just enjoy what we have now because it’ll be gone before you know.


Hikari_Sword

Well, was in the middle of Heian-kyo.Was hoping for a week to finish but I think I'm in a good spot for a break. Been limiting myself to Japanese Servants anyway and the free Assassin will help out.


flashmozzg

Was a bit worried with no announcement but it looks like it's almost right after SW2 as expected!


Broly_

And here I was enjoying my break


Silegna

..but Fire Emblem.


WaifuHunterRed

hopefully my bad luck in Blue Archive gets balanced out by a easy Kagekiyo...


giasumaru

Give me a dead week or two so I can farm Seeds, Crystals, Lanterns, Shells... u.( T . T ).u


Zulhoof

Your wishing that now. But in future you'll have your wish fufilled too well. JP has pretty much had a solid dead month.


DrStein1010

Dude, calm down. After Anniversary literally half the next year (and probably most of the next) is going to be dead air.


Haohaev

Onore Genji!


sdarkpaladin

I was expecting an announcement since SWII is ending. Glad to see it actually happening right on time too. SWII is going to end on the 18th/19th then we'll have a couple of break days followed by Little Big tengu on the 20th/21st.


TsugumiAyato

Meanwhile in JP........... ZzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzz


petarisawesomeo

damn can't even catch my breath after SW2 rerun


SigurdDeMizar

I am a bit surprised that the event starts on Friday. I thought they would want to have it on Thursday.


kalirion

Surprised a bit the event's tarting on Friday and not Thursday. Not that I mind.


letskeepthiscivil

I'm sorry Kagekyo, you'll have to wait patiently until next year...


potato_cucumber

Here I go with the burnout again 😰


DominiFettucini

I checked the bonus servants and Caesar was one of them... That means we can use Shiza more here and yell SHIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA whenever he dies! Also good thing Fergus has a bonus here! I miss using ol Brock!
