I think it's taking a step in the right direction. The plot is better structured that it was with singularities but that's a no-shit-Sherlock moment. They have learned how to pace things and, with budget, they can crank up the artistic qualities, animation finesse, musical etc., making the whole experience much closer to a home console game. To me, that's a considerable plus.

Gacha is still the same unfortunately. There might be a lot more ways to hoard SQ nowadays, and I'm glad they do so many giveaways throughout the year. That's good, it means the money is flowing over there lol. I'm iffy on the idea of limited R Servants. Nice incentive to try for NP5 I guess!

On the subject of gameplay, I think they improved. A lot. Maybe way too much. If you compare Servants from now and then, the power creeping and utility is massive. Save for the always useful supports and tanks who still holds up to this day, a lot of Servants are severely outdated and I don't think even skill upgrades or the fresh Command Code mechanic could save them.

About Command Code by the way... I don't like it. It's an interesting idea, but I really don't know how to set up things. Much like grails, I feel like it's more about "equip for love" than anything else, and it pains me. The new overwriting mechanic might make me want to try out some strategies with those, though.

I also think they improve the farming, kinda. Unlike older events, we already have spots with high AP cost, meaning more decent drops and thus smoother farming. I like that.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the game. For the most part what I could complain about are core mechanics of that kind of games (gacha being a nerve-wrecking troll, mostly). Everything else is ok.

Keep going Delight Works, and please upgrade animations for the very old Servants that aren't fan favorites or golds too...
