BEFORE READING THIS, I MUST TELL YOU: ''I will speak of the bad news first, but don't stop until you reach the end. There are some good news after I speak of the bad ones.''

FIRST, THE BAD NEWS: I really hate to say this, and as much as I and a lot of fans would love this to port, sadly I think this won't be able to be ported over to consoles. Why? It's actually an arcade game that uses physical "data" cards to play the game, similar to KanColle arcade and (this one's out of context) sort of like Dragon Ball Heroes. Also, you'd be using real currency to actually get the units you want and (as shown in the How To Movie) get them in physical form.

And if I had to put "peripherals" in the question, like someone would say "Why don't they make a peripheral that can be used to put the cards on there and play it on that game's (supposed) console version (if there was one...)?" Peripherals...I think, especially only for this case, would seem pointless, you'd be spending more money to buy a separate component to be able to play a game and it possibly would only work for that only game.

One example of an arcade game that would be able to port to a console is Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone (and yes, there is a PS4 port of it. Also, coincidence, since SEGA helped produced these two games: FGO Arcade and Project DIVA ACFT). Project DIVA ACFT had elements of gameplay controls that simply would fit for a console release (in this case, the PS4), like the Slider feature and the iconic Triangle, Square, Cross, and Circle buttons.

Don't get me wrong, I love FGO and I've been playing it since its NA release, but I'm just putting my opinion out there about why it won't make it to consoles.

NOW THE GOOD NEWS: To those of you who are expecting an overseas release of the arcade cabinet, you're in good luck because there is a POSSIBLE chance of it's overseas release! (Link to reddit about it will be here >>> https://www.reddit.com/r/grandorder/comments/93thtc/fgo_arcade_may_be_going_overseas/ ) To clarify, the official FGO Arcade website has its location page to find locations of the FGO Arcade cabinets in the specified region. Among those specified regions is the US, however, it is blanked out since no cabinets for FGO have been released or installed as of now. I most certainly expect the cabinets to be installed in Round 1 locations here in the US, and it most likely will be. As mentioned before, it's a POSSIBLE chance of release, so don't get your hopes up too much!

Thank you for reading!
