She set a new rule for the new world, so my vote is Ruler.
I am not planning on grailing any further 1-3 stars to 120 yet, as that essentially makes them "equal to the existing 120s". So my list is short.
And yes, the Support slot is there for a reason.
I didn't grail Hans and Mephy for my love purely as characters. My reason is even purer XD.
6 now, but I've spent 10 for a Ms. Crane in the past so 16 in total. Dioscuri contributed like 3 or 4 of them, but I never aimed for them.
No. Ritsuka doesn't get it has too many settings that are limited to that Ritsuka's Chaldea, not our Chaldea.
The main plot is something that most FGO players(who cleared it) had experienced. If they focus on the servants and minimise the master's appearance, it's almost like everyone's "the adventure of my Chaldea".
Molay.
We don't have any economy/banking specialist yet. The closest thing we have on app is a businessperson, which is different.
I am not a Type Moon fan, I'm only here for my favourite historical figure as waifu/legendary hero as husbando.
I would rather see more FGO scenarios animated. Just like what they did to Babylon. But for the 1.5s or 2.X chapters.
Watch Columbus doing strange faces animated, listening to Chi Tu talking horsy nonsense using Setsuna voice...etc.
2.6 is long enough to do not only a movie, but three, or probably a season.
Summoned Waver while playing FGO in toilet(playing as Gudako)
My friend: Ah. So he was peeking into the Female WC.
And now I can't unhear it. XD
Summoned Anastasia while Swearing "DEATH TO COMMUNISM"
2 copies in 10 rolls! Fine, fine, your royal highness, I get it. I get your strong sense of justice.
By the way, this catalyst actually works. I've got 2 more copies later, and 5 CEs with her in 10 rolls...
(Not so funny bit: My family was from a communist country and some of my relatives were killed by the communists. So myself might act like a catalyst to her.)
But anyway...Finally! Someone to discuss politics with in Chaldea!
Box before Grand Lancer, Indras
I got like 2 from 30 rolls, and all 5 copies within about 150 or so. And over 7 drop CEs in total.
It's almost like Indra telling me "if it's the coin you want, take them. If it's the CEs you are after, take them as well"
But no, it's the B10 CE I am after. So no matter what you do, bond with me and give me the CE so that you can overwork more in the grand duel! Mwahahaha.
Grand Assassin Gatcha: Stheno
Me: I have Stheno for inst.kill, and I can afford her cost. But I think I will switch to Sanson, because I like his motion/voice more. And he performed well in the recognition battle...
(after several loops)
Me: YAY. New bond SQs from Sanson! Let me try our luck and make a new daughter(go to the Jack/Stheno gatcha)
(got only Stheno, and Stheno to NP5)
...I can hear Sanson protesting "Use her! Use her instead " XDD
So I've given Sanson a long holiday since then. It's not that I must use him anyway.
I would prefer Dahut and Big Enma as costumes of Drake and Smoll Enma, rather than new servants. Especially with Beni Enma, it feels like "my fledgling grew up and is a mature bird now".
And I want Zeus more than any other Greek god. We have the boss of LB1, boss of LB2...etc, only missing LB5. Let us at least have a chance to complete the collection.
I find this question fairly difficult, as my favourite person(when I view them as real people around me, my neighbour/friend/lover/classmate/teacher/working colleague...etc) and my favourite character(when I see them as fictional figures) are totally two different matters, and "least favourite" is quite different from "hate".
My favourite fictional figure in FGO is Yin Zhen.
The character is so well built, it's almost like the real Yin Zhen was advising the writer while they are writing the plot. It's so realistic and so "him" that it disgusts me. I would be more than happy to ceausescurise him.
I actually felt something coming up from my stomach when he called my name, and that sickness stayed for three days. "makes me sick, literally" is kind of moving, therefore a success of fictional writing. I had never experienced such sick in my otaku life, he is the best written fictional figure I had ever seen, and the worst person. A disgusting, selfish, arrogant, short-sighted, coward, ignorant, evil dictator! The only thing he got right is his idea of gender.
Oh of course, he has his good minions. Gao, Li and Qin. They are all very well written, they act just like their disgusting little tank-riding descendants some 2000 years later. Without their support, their emperor cannot be this successful, as an emperor or as a fiction. But they didn't make me sick for more than a minute, so The Most Moving Fictional Figure prize goes to Yin Zhen, the root of all the suffering of millions of people on his land in the past 2000 years!
My favourite person, on the other hand, is Phantom.
I save this to close my reply. Think of a wonderful thought, in hope that can stop me feeling sick. Phantom is wonderful. He is polite, intelligent, nice, caring, professional. He is so nice that he is beyond forgiving, he never blame his bullies, he still believes in kindness even after all these experiences. He even trusts his rival enough to tell him his past. (Although it's caused by the miscommunication between him and the managers) he protests when his salary is delayed, but didn't forget to remind them using polite notes, and he was still trying to keep the casting team away from his payment problem. He doesn't seek revenge, he knows how to enjoy his life. He takes his hobbies seriously. The genius somehow knows how to love even if nobody loved him. He is just too nice for his era.
And with me, he supports me in game, and he helped me with several problems I have had for years. I can't thank him enough. I can't imagine what would my life be without meeting him again a few years ago.
I vote for 7. The True Lord of the Castle(it's even written in the character profile, which is probably written by herself but anyway)
Waifuist(failure)
I want to give my all to my favourite. I have this policy set when I first started FGO that I only roll for/raise 3 type of servants:
A. My love, my friend, or my ally...Those I like.
B. Their love, or their friend, whomever they bother to write a reference letter for.
C. Those who can help my love/friend... fight better.
My biggest problem is this guy sitting at the top of my A list. He doesn't ask much, and the only one he really liked was a welfare. So after I finished grailing/fou-ing/footprinting him, I get bored.
And the No.2 guy on my A list, he is just the "would have been the husbando if No.1 did not exist" guy, a counterraoul...but he asked the most. He orders every new servant with NP distribution/anti-XXX distribution/attack buff. His toy army is big enough to fight the ORT alone.
So I end up with my No.2 having MUCH more toys than No.1. I hate to admit but...without him, and with my angel's attitude like this, my EXP storage would go burst in my second year, so I can't go with full waifuist style.
Grail Front is where Riders shine most. They are the only ones that can move 3 times in a turn, and agility is the lifeline. Riders can drive into enemy line and attack first, or can stand near someone and let others(ideally Assassin, as they can attack the most from the same spot) trigger their turn for them. Even near the end of war, the Riders are best at collecting chests.
For assassins, Koyan is different. She is highly valued NOT because that she is Assassin class, but because that she has valuable skills(which have nothing to do with her class) and she is not a Caster(which means she doesn't take 1/3 of your Caster Friend Support slot). You don't want Koyan to attack. Her class barely matters. In fact, as Tez later arrived in the same class, it's better if Koyan arrived as Archer/Lancer, to give Tez a little more space.
Tez is the Assassin version of Tai Gong Wang, and only better than Sirius, who is using the EX slot and cannot compete with Oberon/Skadi/Doman at all.
Therefore the most useless class would be Moon Cancer.
You see, Jiang, a Rider with self charge and teamwide charge, is highly valued. Tez, an Assassin with self charge and teamwide charge, is quite valued. Sirius, an Alter Ego with the same setting, is not valued by your friend but valued by some players. Arc, an Moon Cancer with MORE self charge and teamwide charge, almost Louhi-like, is only valued by people who like her character.
If you want a Ruler as attacker than Kenshin.
You will need Skadi anyway, if you want to use any Quick servants. She is more like "Caster Skadi, but with Attack buff instead of Defense debuff". Her class doesn't really matter. For most of the time, she better not participate in fighting at all. Her critical attack is sad, and her NP charge is usually reserved for someone else, which means herself doesn't have enough NP.
Karna is a Buster AOE with 30% charge. Roma is also a Buster AOE with 30% charge. Ereshkigal is another Buster AOE with not only 30% but 50% charge. Further more, if you use Melusine as a Buster AOE, she has like 100% charge or something like that. There are many other choices.
On the other hand, Enkidu is a Buster 1-target with 50% charge. Melusine as a 1-target is not Buster which means she will be using a different support kit. The others have 30% charge at most, until the newest Elisa(5*) in JP. So for NA players, Enkidu is still "THE most self-sufficient 1-target Buster Lancer".
My list will have Mr Molay on top, with Zeus/Han Xin in Tier A below(both of them are almost bullied by Lassengle, isolated, ignored, all of their other colleagues had been implemented! Let them have some goodies, for god sake)
and Shinji(more importantly, c.v. Kamiya. I will take other Kamiya voiced characters too) and Ryuunosuke(the same. I just want some c.v. Ishida characters) in my tier A.
For Rikyuu-and-Chen reasons, I will appreciate Hideyoshi too. Fireworks for Koma.
And I will be fairly happy if Ramesses has something to say about Moses, but if not I don't really care.
The rest... I don't really care at all. To me people like Jeanne in F/SR are just another Jeanne, and we have Jeanne already. I would rather see some new faces, especially some new faces that can be related to existing characters. As I said before there are miles of famous historical figures queueing, Ludwig the former-Napoleon-fanboy, Houdini the spiritual-mythbuster...and on the other hand, Bradamante is still looking for her boyfriend, Doman his rival.
Oh yes. and Perseus, who had been waiting since Proto era! His wife will be happy if he is here too.
He's good. Gives your home a break and cost performance wise he even stands after Dante.
I want the Arcade's Jack costume, and the grownup Andersen/lil Kiara.
There is a costume for the Master that looks like Artoria's suit, so to me it's already implemented.
Oh to all the "I had enough" comments.
Why. just why.
You had enough, you can quit any minute. There is nothing to do with you had enough and the developers had enough, or other players had enough.
For a hundred times.
A business game is a business before it is a game, which means the priority is to earn as much money as they can, NOT to develop a good game that can entertain people(which most companies claim to be their priority).
FGO is one of the most money-making apps in the whole country. "Tired developers"? Ha. They are tired counting money, and probably happy to do so. It would be stupid to stop it now, just because "no longer have the desire to continue the story". They probably never had the desire to tell a story. They have the desire to earn money, and the ability to tell a story good enough to earn money for them. If it's storytelling you want to do, why monetize?
@Stray Bird Yes. Basically she can auto-curse people now.
Good upgrade, not enough to make her a must-have.
