Won't be investing so much time in a AAA experience for months now.

Back to FGO casual play.

But it'll take a min to digest everything because it throws a lot at you and seems to make a few things needlessly overcomplicated

guess I'm close to the end of Chapter 13, how long is the final chapter?

New Trigger series adapating a highly acclaimed manga and it completely bombs here.
Shame given the source material is solid and the show looks good.

Maybe it ought to have had an extended premiere the way Oshi no Ko/Frieren did.

Chapter 13 area is longer than I expected.
Bit of a departure from the original too in story beats.

In some ways I almost wish the cinematic finishers of bosses included some form of QTE

I don't know

No broadband till Monday apparently....welp

I can't remember did Gil originate from FF5 or is that just the one where he had the biggest role?

No round until my provider fixes broadband.
Been out since morning.

Yeah not gonna clear these UPA scores.
At this point I need more plot

Date was good.
Don't think there's too many high production games that could play these kind of performance arts moments straight.

Anniversary Black Grail to finally MLB the damn thing.

I do like Archuria NP2 and above.
When a skill drains NP, having over 100% in the bank helps.

Really dedicated players will have their waifu/husbandos go for level 120, NP5, 2k/2k fous, bond 15, max beast paws 10/10/10 skills and appends.

Am I missing anything?

90 to 100 ain't too bad.
The grind to 120 is what's killer.

I'm just too used to touch screen based rhythm games I can't handle stick timings.

Summer Ibuki I think needs a few NP levels to get the ball rolling to the ridiculous levels?
Summer Musashi's going to be looking inadequate until her rank up.

Oh wow that king tonberry meme deck really can snowball like crazy against the Queen's Blood final boss.

Well shit, Bocchi was one of the most pleasant surprises of last year.

That's kinda what I liked about the original.

It had a lot of minigames, but they were very short and most of them didn't have much in terms of rewards associated with them.
Do feel like they should just hand you summons like in the original bit with the option of having the boss battles against ever increasing power variants for those that want the challenge.

Odin wiped me out and I don't particularly want to go through that again because I'm already way over how long it took me to clear the original and that was with a few major sidequests cleared in full.

Chicken sidequest was annoying, but short enough that it wasn't too big a deal.

If the final instalment of the trilogy has Rebirth's biodiversity, but with Nibelheim level of ease of traversal and can be cleared with side content in 50ish hours then that's going to hit all the sweetspots for me.

Fate/Zero is no stranger to low rankings, tbh for such a well received show on b8 the rankings are all over the place.
It's one of those shows that many respect, but is often at the back of the queue in priority.
Get past that and like last year it can really go on a good run.

Hey maybe we'll get a Grey Alter, Summer, Lily version at some point.

Change of plans, we'll have a round today.
Just late.

Castoria/Merlin/Himiko works pretty similarly but with more of a focus on Buster Crit cards.
It's a very slow comp though.
