I'm just saying that gambling for servants can't be just for fun if you're a fan of the series. If there wasn't gambling, there would be less need for self control, would there? If i was a layperson looking for a good game, i'd be glad to pay for free, throwing in money once in awhile. Unfortunately, even for a berserker fate fan, 30,000 yen per event is far too much, which is why i'm resorting to reason. I can't keep up. So I just have to give up. That's the only choice left to me. That's the self control you're talking about. T-M shouldn't do that to their fans. I don't get what i want, they stop getting my money. Everybody loses. They must have put manhours into crafting these servants, their sprites, their profiles, their interludes. How sad that only a few very rich or very lucky people will get to experience them.

I strongly disagree that profit alone should drive games. Then every game would become a pachinko machine. I'd like to hope games like final fantasy xv, phantom pain and the fate series are profitable enough strictly on their own merit. Imagine a world where artists had to turn their works into pachinko machines to turn a profit? How many pachinko machines can one person afford to play? I invested in FGO because i was hoping and praying that Type-Moon would know better than to turn fully into a pachinko machine if it could make enough money to survive on it's own merit.

Btw, I was never looking for a fate apocrypha anime. I don't know apocrypha at all so I'm not sure if I'll like it. I'm interested, of course, but if novel sales and general popularity alone aren't enough to get an anime going then profit from a gatcha whose funds were meant for an entirely different purpose might lead to an anime that won't be loved. I mean, I'm shocked Heaven's Feel got turned into 3 movies. It was the least popular route in FSN. Terrible things happen to two of the top 3 favorite characters and I went to Taiga's Dojo for the first time trying to save one of the main heroines in the caverns under the temple. I hope these projects happen and are successful, but I'm not sure how much consolation people who lost fortunes empty handed in this game will feel. I threw 30k at the gatcha to get heroine x alter, not to crowdfund anime projects. In the end, they got my money and i didn't get alter. And i probably won't have enough money for the next event. At the very least, give us what we paid for so we leave poorer but satisfied.

Now I have to go steel myself to get nothing in Shibuya. I have a bad feeling i'll miss Ereshkigal as well. Self control, right? Hopefully, every gamble servant in Shibuya will be non-romance characters. Sigh.
