Cleared Olympus
I did my best not to use any revives, though the quests that gave me difficulty are the support only(Achilles and Orion) and the final battle which took 7 tries but I still won. I'm starting Olympus soon. Man, the lvl 118 10/10/10 Draco support was the mvp especially since she can cover all seven standard classes.
Man, Charlotte's scene was pretty depressing. And Jason's redemption was amazing. I really liked Super Orion's scene.
This scene was very fucking cool.
It’s been a long time, but I finally did it!
Below are some of my own thoughts and opinions:
About Atlantis, I personally really liked this chapter .The story is really interesting and I enjoyed spending every second of it with the really cool characters,I also cried at least four times.(I am the emotional type) It made me rethink about the definition of “being ordinary “and “being heroes “ Ordinary people don’t have to prove that they are something out of the ordinary, because it’s perfectly fine to be plain and ordinary. It sort of surprised me that this chapter was written by the same author who wrote Fate Apocrypha (which I didn’t really enjoy), guess I have to change my perspective of him.
About Olympus, didn’t really like it at first because I thought the plot wasn’t really that interesting. (I was sort of disappointed though, I thought it would be even better than Atlantis ) Iliked it better after defeating Zeus. Everything happened so unexpectedly! I really was taken aback when I realized Wodime’s plan about turning humans into something better.(sounds a bit like Goetia)and at the very end when he takes out the foreign god.
It was hard saying goodbye to Musashi and the twins (more tears).
Well, my own very sentimental thinking ends here ,hope reading all these words didn’t cause you any trouble.♥️Looking forward to meeting everyone in Avalon le Fae!
So my alt account is at the part of the game where you fight Beast of Cherishment, just working on my Lobo levels before I head in. I'm looking up the list of Non-Hominidae Servants and notice Caster Artoria there. I know post Lostbelt 6, she is listed as a Fae so Non-Hominidae makes sense, but how about before that Lostbelt? Does she have any resistance at this point, or will she take full damage?
Edit - Spent some silver apples to make the progress I wanted on level and bond, started the fight, she does resist damage, so she counts even before Lostbelt 6.
Usually you see me posting weird questions and other nonsense, so weird that the 'Hear me about' Post got taken down (Apparently we can't show images from the game itself)
But I want to get serious for a moment, and let my thoughts reach out to you lot that I trust. I won't be touching the story, since that was amazing on it's own.
So if you haven't reached LB 5 yet, spoilers are ahead.
Having the Gods rely of Technology of all things is one of, if not, THE stupidest decision this game has ever made. (For some Context, I'm big on mythology). I understand that they were going with something different and unique, but at the same time, it didn't make sense.
I understand if they advanced long enough after 14000 years to have technology, I wouldn't be surprised if Hephaestus himself made all of Technology, since he's capable of doing so, But for the Gods themselves to be made of such nonsense is ridicioulus. Why? I'll tell you.
Greek Gods, are Immortal. They can't die. They can live forever without aging after they reach their prime state.
Even if they went to war against each other, they wont lose their bodies that easily, so saying nonsense like Poseidon losing his body and becoming a core was... pretty pathetic if I'm honest.
The Greek Gods rely on their Godly Powers and Godly Weapons, not Laser Guns! Like, let's be real, did any one of you took the 'True Appearance' of the Gods Seriously? I mean, lets compare them to their GOW counterpart (The most well known Greek Adapted Game)
Lets start with Poseidon. Which version of him do you think would be more dangerous? Three balls that shoot lasers every now and then.
Or this Monstrosity with the Power of the Trident and the Sea?

Hephastus, again, shouldn't have been dead, because he was immortal, but leaving behind a fragment of his mind inside a machine in case something happened is something he would actually do because of how smart he is. But, they never mention why he fell from the grace of the Gods, that's because he was ugly and had deformed legs, and since Fate likes to draw a lot of ugly things (Call back to the Bugs from F/zero EP1....) I'm surprised they don't go with something like this
Instead of whatever the hell we've gotten, and it would've made for Better interactions with the Characters.
Zeus.... God damn how wrong people get him. One of the few things they got right about him was that :1) He was omnipotent, and 2) His Thunderbolt and the one made by Hephaestus are powerful enough to destroy a Universe. But here's the Biggest Flaw they made.
Zeus, doesn't give a shit about Humanity.
His entire portrayal in the story was dead wrong and felt like a completely different character. I mean this is how he really acts
He's a selfish god, that cares only about himself and his bed times, so why the fuck would he ever care about humanity?
Also, WHAT THAT FUCK IS THIS?!
He already looked fine with his regular form! Why ruin it with this nonsense?! Oh, and guess what? He's using lasers again, form his mouth nonetheless, at least he can shoot thunder now, so that's a plus, but we both know that they're being shoot from machines.
You know what's surprising? Aphrodite is without a doubt the most Mythically accurate out of all them. Her selfish bratiness caused so many wars just so she can win, she did cheat on Hephaestus multiple times (like how Zeus cheats on Hera) and her god supramacy is without a doubt the most accurate thing about her character. Seeing that actually made me enjoy her on screen,
Also, she doesn't fight, she makes people fight for her, so that hypnosis she did when telling us to bow to her is really accurate.
..... so what the hell is this garbage?
Immediately ruined the character, also... Lasers, again...
I won't touch Demeter, since in this game she's 'corrupted' or something stupid like that, so I can't compare her to how she actually acts.
So what I'm saying is.... Technology shouldn't be used by Gods, their power alone is what makes them special, and adding Technology to it takes away what makes the gods special in the first place.
One last thing.
Apperantly, these guys aren't in the game because 'They're gods, and gods are too op'.... Motherfucker. LOOK at who we got! Kama, who controls the Universe like nothing, Arjuna Alter, a combination of all Hindu Gods into one, that can cut the Multiverse in half when serious, and, guess what? Actuals GODS! Astrea, Artemis, Orion, Vritra, and even fuckin' Tiamat! (Arcade at least) So just make a copy of them like usual! Fuck off DW!
Was looking forward to this lostbelt and I wasn't disappointed, lots of fun fights
Also, a shameless plug:
Made some more progress into Olympus, also been working on my thumbnail game
Gonna continue with this lb after the next lottery
Dude got the biggest glow up in terms of animations, definitely a future grail target of mine
Also big ups to @Muhammad Abdul Aziz Habibi for his Chen Gong w/star bomb CE
Managed to do this fight before the 1/2 ap period, pretty happy with how interesting it turned out
Gonna tackle the other fights once theres another ap reduction for olympus
Olympus completed
Demeter was the hardest fight took 3 try to beat her
Beat zues, aprodite and beast in a single go they were pretty easy
Krischtaria got soled by mash
Exactly 50
And Caenis was simple to beat
Still felling sad for her
Olympus wasn't that hard except for 12-1(musashi and holmes) and zeus which i used a stone for each battle. Demeter turned into mandricardo + castoria stalling, managed to 3 turn aphrodite.
Now we wait for morgan banner
Mash got to kill that piece of shit zeus 🫶
NO IM NOT CRYING continues to listen to beyond zero on repeat
Officially joined the data lost gang :’)
Rip kirsch you were an absolute bro
;-;
See ya on the other side, caenis 👊
And that’s it
Finally caught up to the story and cried a bit but it’s fine 🫠
And lmao i literally laughed out loud when the dioscuri died
Managed to Sanzen Daisen Zeus's ass after several retries
DIE YOU PIECE OF SH*T

So, lately I was rewatching some of my favorite scenes from Lostbelts, and I noticed something interesting that I didn't before. The pose that Mandricardo did when he was about to fire Reve de Durandal, is a reference to Artoria's Excalibur pose from visual novel. I guess most of y'all noticed that already, but I think it's still a pretty cool reference to 2004 visual novel and something worth mentioning
Been waiting for 1/2 AP discount on free quests in these areas like forever. Time to collect more SQs from Shimousa, Olympus & Heian-kyo.
Battles: with 3 greek gods, the two hard battles being a cosplayer and a mage with the mana circuits destroyed surprised me, i arrived in this lostbelt with everyone talking about demeter, but with oryou + tamamo + santagale + black grail + ritsuka this fight is a walk in the park
MVPs: Twin trashs - Chloe, Demeter - Oryou, Aphrodite - Sanzang, Koyanchuaua - Shuten caster, Europa - Stheno e Carmilla, Zeus - Jalter, Wodime - Jeanne, Caenis - Hokusaber
my final thoughts: the story is not bad, but there were a lot of unnecessary things, my biggest complaints are that they wrapped up too much in the sacrifice of the data lost and after everything they said about the foreigner god, how calculating she was and everything, her acting how a rich elementary school kid who just learned the pleasure of bullying disappointed me
