I brought back this video from last year because I figured it would be fun to touch on again. FGO is getting up there in years and still has plenty of issues, so we talk about the ones that I see impacting the game right now. What do you guys think are the biggest issues FGO faces for the new year?
1:55 No, it is bad. You have expectancy to do from 1 to 250 rolls. In SQ it is from 3 to 684. It isn't 330 rolls or 990 SQ. It much lower. This "pity" is a pity. Math: I just use geometric distribution. So taking current summon (NA event): Chance to summon a Taira no Kagekiyo is 0.8% -> 0.008: Expectation: 1/0.008 = 125. Standard deviation: root((1 - 0.008)/(0.008)^2) = root(15500) = 124.498996 Total: 0.501-249.498996 -> 1-250. Counting 11th free: 220 regular rolls will give you 22 free (simple math 220/10 = 22). So 220 + 22 = 242 in total. Hence 250 - 242 = 8 -> 220 + 8 = 228. 228 * 3 = 684 -> 3 - 684.
On your 4th point about the mix and match, the worst part about it is that they let you choose the ascension for a servant as their status icon but it doesn't change it during battle. If I choose the first ascension as my status icon for Summer Kama, it should show it as such during battle and not have it be forced to whatever ascension model you pick instead. The perfect scenario would be letting someone pick the 3rd ascension as their character skin model, have the 2nd ascension as their card icons, and then have the first ascension as the status icon during a battle and servant stat page. I will never understand why they went half ass with it when they let us pick that status icon. And to be even more specific where this really irks me is with Melusine. What's the point of giving us the red version of her 3rd ascension when we are forced into the default blue one if we aren't choosing her 3rd ascension model as her default skin ESPECIALLY when they made her kit the way it is with regards to the 3rd skill where we get a free 100% charge as an incentive. Really grinds my gears.....
Holy shit , this , permanent passives , it wouldnt even be OP considering the fact that the game is much much more difficult than before, this is genuinely genius.
They could also combine this with A. making obtaining servant coins easier/unlimited and B. new appends by making it so you unlock the separate bond CE slot as an append skill, and maybe upgrade the bond CE’s stats or effects as you upgrade the append from lvl 1 to lvl 10.
- More frequent animation updates - More frequent Main Interludes to bring back old welfares Probably two of the main improvements I personally desire.
Yeah more than 1.5 ANIMATION UPDATES IN A YEAR WOULD BE FUCKING NICE LASENGLE. It's totally unacceptable if they get to year 9-10 and there are still day 1 animations in the game.
I would really like it if main interludes would be like that triple Halloween we’re getting. I think we should be able to get past CEs on top of past servants.
A couple of minor things that I’d like to see: 1) Filters to help look for specific friends 2) Doing something to make the unlockable music better, such as allowing people to listen to it while in the main menu or when leveling servants
Another thing should definitely focus on is giving more uses for Mana Prisms besides the shop, and make them to be used for other things like, exchanging coins, rare prisms,pure prisms, teapots, blue Apples etc.
I think the devs have an issue of new players having to play catch up. There's ever more craft essences to buy and not nearly enough mana prisms given out on a consistent basis to keep up with monthly needs plus those CEs.
@@Khadroth Well, giving players an initial discount on their first ce, for example, would be my way of softening the blow. That, or allow them to get mana prisms in an easier way either through login or just limited startup missions.
Id like to be able to take my mp and buy craft essences from events i missed. Just 5 like we do for the bond/xp ones. as it is I have too many i can't do anything with.
Man, being able to replay story quests would actually make farming some items so much easier due to fixed rewards. Speaking of which, I think all free quests should guarantee unique drops, like bones or dragon fangs, but not stuff like gems or crystals.
Agree with 100% of the list, all the improvements are realistic requests, personally i will only add at this list of improvments 1 or 2 permanent mode like a tower or a Grail front that reset every month, because some time have the sensation of not knowing where use some of my preferite unit that are not good for farming
These are really good critiques of FGO, but considering how the future of the game is decided by the JP team, you should consider getting in contact with someone who is a big jp content creator who likes FGO to bring up these points so it would get noticed more easily
I'm well aware they'll never hear any of my critiques. The best I can hope for is that someone on the NA localization staff watches the video and takes some of the better points to their bosses. Even then I have little hope any change comes about. I made this more for the community to get them talking in general about things that they want. Eventually that will trickle back to the devs.
Pure prisms are fine for mats, i guess. It is focused on new players. I started a jp account a few months ago and almost used them to level up a bunch of servants to be up to date with the main story. I second, though, a new way to aquire them, it would be great if you could get them from events so i have the freedom to select what mats i need at the time. I believe coins are a big concern since you can either broke the game (if there was a way to farm coins, that would be broken) or make the community angry (if they gives us something similar to the old pity system).
You know I'm honestly surprised they never did this with Bunyan as she's another welfare who doesn't use a unique material for her ascensions. I'd love to see at least Nobukatsu and Mary Anning added in at some point this way.
Bond CE MUST become a passive skills, because it will make most of the servants unic and interesting to build. It will open new opportunities for team comp and rise interest in reaching bond 10.
I'm still holding out hope that they're going to add an all type coin. Put it in the mana prism shop, events, limit it to lottos, hand them out for logging in or doing daily missions, give them as a bonus for rolling, anything. Not only would it alleviate the pressure to roll so many copies of servant, but it would also create a lot of fodder for grail casting. Plus, old welfare units could finally get the same kind of love as everyone else, without needing to rerun all of their events. (That said, praying they either add those events as main interludes or put the welfares in the shop or something because there should be a way to get them.) It would be neat if bond CEs had a zero cost, like Mash. Wouldn't solve the issue of them being mostly underpowered, but would be a great excuse to actually use them. Teapots are a great way to quickly farm bond, but I wish there was a way to get bond points without going on quests. A method of passively gaining bond, even if it's not a lot or only for one servant at a time, would be nice.
I think the #1 issue I have with them on servant coins is that they've claimed they're not sure how to fix them yet. I quite infamously made 2 observations right after Anni 6 happened on JP. One was that there's room for MORE appends in the UI, and the other was how coins were short and how to easily address that (I'll be making a video soonish talking about that). I cannot fathom that the devs simply don't know what to do on this.
For coins, one of the ideas I came up with is having a huge dump of coins during Valentine's. It could function similar to the Select Chocolate, and you'd be able to get a set Max amount of coins for your chosen servants. And it be limited by the amount you can get from the event itself. The reason Valentines would be used is because coins are a way to deck out your servants, and everyone loves being able to deck out their favorites. Expanding from that, Valentines could be the *main* way (like how major farming occurs for Lottos), but the general reward could be some kind of 'blank' coins that can be used for *any* servant. And they could come in similar frequency and ways to Gold Fous (But instead, in slightly larger quantities; Ex 5 blank coins =~= 1 Gold Fou).
Couldn't CE leveling be at least not take forever if they add perm exp CEs to the FP gacha? They treat them like this special thing only during certain events but embers which I'd say are more overall valuable are in the fp gacha all the time even up to 5* ones
I would really like a weekly event that rotates similar to a challenge quest. Not as hard or interesting but just like a single or 2 wave thing that have a dude or few dudes with massive HP bar. I just want more reason to use my non farming units. I feel like I never have much time with them, but they are some of my favorites. Just change the type every day or week. Just give me some exp or bond for it, idk. I want a regular thing so that I can use single target units more.
The "Upgrading old welfares" goal only really has value if players who missed them can acquire them. Welfares are ironically the rarest and hardest units to get, which is why to me they don't have much value on tierlists. Yes Shiki is one of the best assassin units (and I have her) but if you started playing 2 months ago then her being A rank is worthless cause you can never get her no matter how many credit cards you throw at the devs.
Personally I don't find tierlists to have any value in a game that isn't pvp with various niches and node structures. But regardless it's a good point you make, and something I definitely missed. I should have talked about the main interludes.
To be perfectly honest, aside from feeling like they need to implement a pity system like Genshin's (if Genshin can do it, so can they), my primary concern with FGO moving forward is embodied in the current thrust of Servant design since Ibuki landed. This is related to Quick's current status, of course, but even beyond that Ibuki still feels like a high water mark and ever since she came out the majority of Servants coming off the assembly line have been some form of AoE looper, or yet another Arts support. The Arts loopers have generally been good, the Quick ones generally lackluster. Farming's always been the better part of the game but there's gotta be better ways to do it than just making everything a looper. One thing they could do is perhaps remove card RNG entirely. You just have your hand and you can plan out how to use your cards over three turns. Then the strength of a unit like BB becomes that you don't have to throw out your cards.
Honestly, I typically don't ascribe to the philosophy of "if one unit is too good, all other units are bad" mentality. I see a lot of this surrounding Summer Ibuki, Spishtar, Melusine etc. I definitely agree that they can do better with their design but I don't think they've done bad other than a few cases of blatant power creep. Even then buffing and new supports are all that's needed to bring everything back in line. The thing I always try to remind people of is, we don't have the full picture. The devs look at unit releases and upgrades having the foresight to already know what's around the corner and what's planned long term. We can only guess unfortunately.
@Khadroth I don't mean to suggest that I think that one unit being exceptionally means that makes other units bad; it's more of a concern regarding design space, and the fact that it feels like a lot of the more recent Servants retread old ground to the point where they don't feel that inpactful ir meaningful. Good example is Britomarte: as I recall the entire conversation surrounding her was that she was a better Bradamante, but that's not good enough. A contrasting example would be Nitocris Alter, which is surprising to me. I listened to your video on her, and I agree with your analysis. She is our third 5-star AoE Arts Avenger, but everything about her simply clicks. For starters, it's Nito; this new version of her just makes sense. They also made her permanent, and just as important that they made her kit unique enough to stand out from her predecessors in meaningful ways. I'm more concerned with the "everything must loop or it isn't good" sort of thing that's going on now, which has made batteries as upgrades such a meme. I think part of the reason for this is that NPs are the one thing that you can count on every single time as long as you can math out your charge correctly; carding has traditionally been too unreliable, since even in the heyday of Quick you could whiff if you got a bad hand at the wrong time. With Ibuki in particular, it's mostly a question of "where do they go from here?" She's the current ceiling, and if she stays that way, it is what it is, but what does that mean for the future?
Honestly, one thing i've been hoping for a long time, weekly raids or any sort of contents that's geared towards end-game players, like Dantes Prison/mini Setsubun or just pillar raids for example. I have so many good units and ssrs that i rarely use bcs the game content is 90% farming, the only time i have to mix and match is during CQ, and that's not really frequent either. We desperately need more variety. Sure I can just use any units i want since the game doesn't force me, but still the game kinda encourages you to use certain servant types or strats. Destiny Child has daily dungeon crawling system (i forgot the name) that's really neat where you can use your units to tackles not-so-hard but not-so-easy battles, the rewards escalates as you go deeper into the dungeon. the rewards is not really amazing per se, just equivalent of QP on FGO. But the fact that we can test our unit there and waste our AP that way is much more engaging IMO. I do like how they implemented the Advanced Quest, now if only it resets daily and gives like QP or RP rewards, that'd be awesome.
Things I would in FGO that would improve the game (Sorry for the bad english): - Replayable content: story replay, a roguelike like Arknights or a monthly Tower event, I don't think Advanced Quests are enough They don't even need to add new enemies for that mode, they can re-use a lot of the assets present in the game. - Agree with a lot of your points about Pity, Coins, more Fou paws, Account System, more Story (if they could stop releasing new mats), more buffs and FP rolls - I feel like if they continue to do 3 weeks events (and no rerun), they should increase the amount of Gold Fou's given in each event, they did it for the lores but not for Gold Fou's - For Bond CE's, I feel like they need to rework them (but that requires work so that won't happen) or if they decide to do the idea of giving them as passives, they should atleast remove the demerits some of them have - Can they give more Animation Updates for Year 1 Servants ? I'm kinda not confident they are gonna get one because they decided to give them "Wide Screen update NP", and I feel like it's a death sentences for AU comparable to Costumes... - And for your point about that they improved the SR rate up, well if they do a "normal Summer" with 4 SR and 2 SSR, the changes won't do anything because the SR rates for 2 at the same time, it didn't change...
Thanks for doing more content on YT, Khad. As someone who does not always get a chance to watch your streams, it's nice to get your insights on the game. 👍
The thing I want the most that I see in other gacha games I play, is a compendium for past events that are more than say 3 years old. I think it would be a great incentive for newer players or even veteran players who may have missed out on some really good welfare servants or old event shop CEs and command codes. This would also give some people something to do during dead weeks. Also they should absolutely NOT demand rare prisms to unlock old events; they should just be freely available upon completing requisite main story parts the same as when they’re first released.
I agree 100% of all the points brought up - never even thought about it but absolutely 100% all of the Welfare/Event 4 stars deserve upgrades (and easier ways to obtain them if their event is out of the rerun circuit!) As a Global player I always get excited when JP updates get pushed out faster than anticipated - really hoping Grail Casting is one of those things!
I'd personally like for there to be an option to 'dismantle' servants and CEs. For servants it'd enable you to reallocate your mats elsewhere/to another/more important unit whose skill/s for instance you need maxed at the time. You wouldn't regain your QP, just the resources, plus it'd be an excellent way to cycle Lores seeing how limited they are in quantity. And in the case of CEs it'd be great for when there's an event rerun and you could simply 'undo limit break' into its individual copies (again, you wouldn't regain the QP and each copy would be be at lv1) for better drop bonus or whatever. This would also save people who've made the mistake of merging less than 5 same CEs, hence not getting the MLB effect. Besides that i'd also like for them to eventually add each and every past event into the RP shop, as well as their respective welfares and CEs. Would enable people to get their hands on units like Rider Kintoki and CEs like Golden Carp and Sumo. And lastly it would be cool if they also occasionally had rateups for certain non-limited CEs like Scope or bring back older/highly sought after limited ones like Poster Girl. They'd make so much money, I honestly don't know why/how this hasn't happened
20:00 Or they can make Bond CE cost 0 points. Still won't solve the uselessness of certain CEs (and would further imbalance a few OP CEs like Hercs) but at least could make sense for them in certain cost-limited setups.
I think bond CEs should give 50% starting charge AND have stats on them. Like 1k 1k. Or some variation that adds up to 2k total stats. You have to spend hundreds of hours farming with a servant in your party or using them in content to get to bond 10. It’s a LOT of work. They SHOULD be better than wellfare CEs like aerial drive. Gil’s CE is a good example of a bond CE that would be useful with starting charge. I might actually use it over aerial drive in that case.
One of my major issues with the ascension topic is how Final Ascension art locks the Servant in their 3rd Ascension sprite at the main menu and my room. For example some Servants Final Ascension Art like Summer Musashi’s match an earlier ascension, while displaying that final ascension art lock’s the Servant Menu Sprite to their final ascension. An easy fix would be to instead of having the menu sprite be locked to their ascension stage art, have it be locked to what battle sprite you choose for in battles! Or make an entirely new option for even more customization altogether, I’m fine with either 😂
I wish they will allow FGO to be used on multiple platforms.. the transfer code system is so archaic and i'd like to be able to play on different devices based on convenience TT
Some really good ponts. I habe the feeling that the Global Team does a better job interacting with the community than the jp side. But i really hope that they do more. Dev Diarrys and interviews or something like a commentary to scenes would be cool. Another improvement for me would be the Mana Prism Store. Most upcoming Shop CEs are usless and so it just gets more and more. More items to buy would be cool!
4:30 one problem with this is currently pity is per banner. So hypothetical whale (or just a person who saved up a lot) can have guaranteed NPX, where X is the number of the servant banners (which can be high or low). If the pity doesn't reset with the current system it'd mean you'd lose any pity forever once you get NP1. They can change (well, probably not, considering their spaghetti code, but in theory) pity to just reset count to 0, so you could theoretically roll NP5 with 900*5 rolls on a single banner, and I'm not sure they'd want that.
Since we already can obtain servant coins from getting servants and use it to enhance our units even further(or even use it to craft grails in the future), I wish we could also get other kind of item/currency from acquiring copies of CEs. Considering we can easily get more useful 5* MLB CEs from event shops, most of the non-event CEs that we can get from gacha are basically trash(especially 4* CEs) with the exception of few ones. Even if we sell/burn those CEs, we only get an insignificant amount of resources(MP & QP) from it that we're better off just farm it instead. I just hope the worth of the non-event CEs would increase just like what happened to servants when the servant coins feature was implemented.
The biggest thing I want is still for them to make old welfares (and welfare servant coins, while on the topic) available permanently for players that missed them (or were unable to max their NP level in time), likely through the RP shop like Santa Altera & BB. After the event’s rerun (either the moment it ends or, more likely, the next year almost as a “3rd run”), it should become a free Main Interlude. This is already a thing in other gacha games, like Azur Lane’s War Archives or Arknights’ Record Restoration systems. There’s really no reason for FGO not to do it.
Great list, my most wanted points are 1. Faster main story releases 2. Rework bond CEs 3. Pity should NOT reset, this one should've been obvious to the devs from the beginning, it's ridiculous that we have to point it out. 36:10 The number of upgrades has not even remained the same sadly. In 2021 we had 64 upgrades but in 2022 we only got 51. That may sound like a large number, but when there's 300+ servants in the game and some needing MULTIPLE buffs to even have a semblance of relevance, this number really isn't even close to enough. If we factor in that sometimes we even get lackluster buffs (Sigurd, Bunyan, Lancelot etc.) then the number should be even higher.
Give us more shit for CQ and beating story content. We used to get Servants for this. I am always bored doing CQ because guess what I am going to get a Lore, yay. Give me a Grail or a shard at least. Give me some tickets. Give me some Rare Prisms or Pure Prisms even. Give me coins or Gold Fou's. I've played hundreds of hours of the story, given thousands of hours to tune my units, about to give a dozen to beat this chapter, make me excited for playing the next one, keep me invested for succeeding at the gameplay. Give me some neat shit.
- coins suck as they are. welfares are cucked out of existence. especially older ones like summer scathach, nobu archer, rider kintoki, shiki assassin, etc. - no opinions on pity for myself, but if they don't keep the progress on banners, banners should last longer, for dolphins and people who spend not so often. - FP gain should increase with grail casting come tunguska or before. agreed wholesale. - quick has more options, but i feel it shouldn't necessarily have to measure up to the same way to arts and buster, perhaps something that guarantees quick to crit, like a dedicated star bomber/np gain modder with quick buffs. mighty chains and summer skadi does help, but mostly if you have cracked dantes or tea grandma. - no opinion - yeah, fou paws should be more accessible for how little they actually affect the servant in general. at this point it's like a trophy status thing once and event or a month (on RP shop) where you throw on a servant you really like and say "hey these cards deal 500 more damage I guess" - yes. I need more 4 star tickets, more barghest coins for my 120 agenda.... - yes. accounts are important because of how easy it is to lose your account compared to ANY other game. - summer scathach buff when - I thought they had mentioned they would do something like this eventually, but there are a ton of old bond CEs where it's just CARD TYPE + 15 % and it would retroactively suck because of all those year 1 servants. more servants are coming out with neater or more useful applications for reaching bond 10. i.e. jane's is a literal star bomb that helps reach her third skill's usefulness, with less cost than regular star bombs. RE: I like that passive idea, but still feels like year 1 units just eat shit in that regard. - more support list spots would be neat, but not necessarily needed - yeah their community presence is TERRIBLE. you have maybe a retweet campaign and some youtube streams here and there, but those are so tied to new content coming out that it only happens when it happens - yeah, main story is sloth tier pacing. I picked up genshin on the side despite not wanting to play it for like the first two years it's been out. that's pretty bad.
- coins we agree on, they still need to do something about that... - Pity I still think should be at 600sq spent, not 900. We're never gonna have it at exact odds (that'd be 320sq iirc?) but 600 would be a much better compromise given what I've been able to save up since Summer 5 for the 5 banners within 3 months that I'm hoping to roll on. Also really unfortunately this is right in the middle of this gap year where banners aren't adjusted for the new rateup system yet at all, so I'll probably end up with a bunch of rated up SRs I don't want. - rolling FP sucks even with autoclicker (still need to confirm every roll, but having an autoclicker on the Summon button helps a little) and time optimized craft essence cleanup methods. - Summer Skadi is my only new roll target after the mid-2023 gacha apocalypse :) - on this point I have something to add actually. The Final Ascension artwork of many servants don't actually show stage 3, yet are represented as such in many places such as the "Terminal" if they're in the front of your selected party. I had to put on Sei's Stage 1 artwork even tho I love the FA artwork, just so I get the correct sprite on my home screen. That really needs to be addressed as it's literally a single optional property added to the Servant data schema. - fou paw prints I'm indifferent about, I really like having a longterm investment mechanic that's the difference between my Suzuka and some big whale (2hu *cough*) maxing their Suzuka as their 3rd or 4th 120 servant. - I still remember the myth of 4 star tickets being a yearly thing. That was never a fact. They just happend every 5M DLs. lol - rest of 2022 just gonna agree on, but that last one isn't going to happen probably. They write these massive chapters now which need to be planned out properly before you can even start during that into a script. - I'd love CE leveling QoL, but the button like servants have is a bit harder to implement for CEs due to how limit breaking works for them - locking coins sounds like a great idea, didn't even consider that issue yet
I really love the bond ce passive skill idea, it would be op to some people, but the fact that these CE’s are hard to grind for is worth the earned passive for the servant in question. However, I definitely agree that we need an actual game account in the event we have to get another device more than ce passives. I put so much time and effort into this game, and the very thought something happening to my account is nerve wracking.
Here is an idea for the Servant Coins, you just Double the Coins you get per Bond lvl. That makes it so we get 360 Coins at Bond lvl 15 instead of 180, meaning you can at least get to 120 and 1 Append Skill for 5 Stars. This also fixes most welfare Servants to a Degree, as 360 can get you lvl 120 or the 3 Append Skills, which would be enough till we get re-run for said Welfare.......if we get it.
The thing I want the most is google login/apple login with Lasengle accounts if possible. This is the ONLY gacha game on my phone that doesn't have a google login option.
I don't really think it is if you want the game to remain as generous as it is. I get the desire for lower pity, but FGO gives out far more free currency over time to supplement. I'm not going to say our pity system is good (it's not) but I think becoming the exact same as genshin would have major drawbacks.
@@Khadroth I am not sure it actually does that outside of anniversaries (where FGO are far more generous). Story updates are far more frequent from Genshin and events can at times give more than FGO. Especially when they are far more likely to run them. They can also offload some of the loss onto something like Welkins for a low-cost barrier. FGO's pity is ridiculous at this point. 330 pulls - one time. They either need to stagger it a bit or reduce it to 210. And let me remind you that even being resin capped there are things to do at least, in a big and beautiful 3d world. While in FGO you are f'd and can't play. If they didn't have Fate behind it, then the game would have died long ago.
I highly doubt the JP industry will do that. Typically JP gachas do not carry pity over. JP gachas been resetting spark/pity counters to 0 every banner since 2016.
I feel like just the overall FGO pity system is still too high in comparison to its competition. For example, I can get to around ssr featured pity in like genshin after 3 months (due to it being like 180 summons, which is high but still fair). For things like nikke, you get ssrs easily due to ssr molds. E7, ssrs pity is in 120 summons, which isn't too bad. There are many examples with either far better pity or more resources. Personally rewards are fine and all, but I feel like the pity should be just cut in half. 100 summons is about the rate to get 1 ssr. Making it 200 for the featured SSR feels more fair to my eyes. For a f2p player, getting to pity seems impossible if you are going for 3 or more servants every year because it feels like with the anniversaries, you barely get enough summons for 1860 summons for a whole year.
I think Bond CEs could be 1000 ATK / 1000 HP and they would be viable. You could even give them the split scaling of a 4-star CE, 750 ATK / 1200 HP and I would still use them.
Personal biggest wants: -Ability to search for support servants without having to constantly refresh for a specific friend. -A trading system for extra servants you no longer need as an alternative to burning. Maybe throw in a rare prism for initiating the trade if it's a 4* and above or a certain amount of Mana Prisms or SQ for lower rarity servants. -More main interludes for older events; namely the Kara no Kyoukai event, the GUDAGUDA events, and all of the Summer events. -Better alternatives for acquiring rare prisms and servant coins. Be it through events or weekly missions, etc. -An update to pity. I'm pretty sure Lasagna knows a good majority of FGO players can never reach pity. Better rates for servants or just simply lowering the number of SQ needed to reach pity.
The improvements I’d like to see for FGO are: Bring back old events from previous years. It sucks for new players who get into FGO yet can’t replay previous events that aren’t reruns. At least make the story important ones main interludes. Give buffs to all the Year 1-2 servants. This one should be self explanatory. A lot of the early servants have quickly fallen behind and they could desperately use more interludes and rank up quests. Make all previous welfares available through the mana prism shop. A lot of new players couldn’t get access to popular welfares like Summer Jalter and having them be available through the shop would be nice. I know they’re going to do something with the Eli Chans this Halloween so hopefully the other welfares will be available in the future. Have the pure prism shop refresh its stock. It sucks having pure prisms and not being able to buy the materials you want because you’ve already obtained them in the past. Having the shop refresh like the others would be a massive benefit. And making pure prisms more accessible would be nice too.
Yeah its really odd hearing that other gacha's just immediately make past events available for purchase/replay. This is something I should have had on the list.
Literally all of what you said in the video is spot on. And of course, everyone here has something else to add so I'll jump in too cause i love talking about this game. -Bond CE's should just become permanent passives that you unlock for your servants / or 1000 Attack / 1000 HP on arrival -Fate needs an equivalent to Genshin's Spiral Abyss to reward players who own strong units and have invested time into the game, the game lacks challenge. -More Mana Prism unlockables, cosmetic stuff like menu backgrounds, music or even Da Vinci outfits, something to make your Chaldea more colorful. -Fou Paws need to be AT LEAST buffed up 4x for them to be relevant in any capacity. -FP you gain from players using your support servants needs to be at least buffed 10x, FP is generally useless in such small quantities, it would just feel nicer to see people are using your servants. -Adding old Welfares and Welfare CE's to the FP Gacha, it wouldnt discredit old players cause it would be HARD to actually get NP5/MLB of the things you want, and it would require grinding the lottery a lot, so it would be well deserved. And making the FP gacha much much more exciting is also a plus. -Making Pure Prisms more readily available through either events or daily quests instead of the Mana Prism system we have right now.
I would like to see FGO try new things more often. FGO feels very set in its ways and while I don't dislike what it's events offer. It can feel like you're just coasting through the year to try and reach the bigger campaigns or events. (Anni, Summer, Main Story, etc.) When you're doing your 5th 3 week event of the year and the only new thing outside of units is that they remade the Bakin's dogs mechanic for the third time it doesn't feel all that different from the other 3 week events you were just playing. I'd much rather have an event bomb every once and a while because they decided to try something new than every event playing it safe. I think this can extend into other ascepts too. What if JP held an event livestream but while presenting the lights go out and suddenly BB hacked in? Which is the grand reveal for the event. Sadly this feels a bit unrealistic because the greater issue is content pacing and I imagine things are partially like this because they are always stalling for time.
I know he is kind of broken, but surprised they haven't rereleased Rider Kintoki in some way. Mostly because he shows up in more stuff than his Berserker version.
universal coins should be a thing, I would love to bring my Jalter to lvl 120, but she's only Np2. A new game plus, would be interesting, replaying our favorite story moments with a more prepared team.
Add in extra rewards for continued grinding and it would be worth while. Perhaps alongside each of those put a summon banner alongside it for the singularity characters as well that are perhaps permanent banners. That’d be cool.
they shoud make a Blank Coin Servant basuically its redeemable in events and MP/RP shop where the coins are useable on all Welfares or 4Star Servants and below . The part where making Bond CE as a passive would make them reconfigure their background way to much so id suggest there is a 2 CE slot where 1 is for BOND CE can be turned OFF or ON and the other one is normal CE slot to put in
For Quick Support, what I really want to see is Alexandre Dumas from Strangefake as essentially a quick version of Merlin. Imagine a quick equivalent of hero creation, would be very much in line with his character and connection to the most famous quick servant, Dantes. I feel like he would unironically be one of the most hype Strangefake servant for that reason alone but also because he is just a great character.
Just put all past events especially ones with welfare in the main interlude section also adding bronze silver and gold apples into the mana prism shop or daily login, also a improvement to the daily login rewards
For starters: I do not want a PvP system. But i think the game would benefit from competitive rankings, like who kills a raid boss most time, who opens most lotto boxes (with fga banning), and rewards for like, top 50, 10, or whatever. Also wish there was alliance systems like CoC, with an alliance chat. Friends list is awful, theres no communication or interaction. There could be alliance competitions like which alliance gets most raid kills, opens most boxes, ect.
If I hit my login streak perfect for the year I'll have enough Fou paws to max 2/5 of my favorite servants' cards. It's just such a non-entity of something I'm tracking, its timescale is so ludicrously inflated I only ever notice it when I've accidentally accumulated enough to paw a card.
I can +1 on that account security bit. I lost my FGO NA account to the Great Castoria Crash, where I inputted my transfer code into my iPad so I could stream my pulls for my friends. The crash and reload made it so my transfer password was "eaten", and when I tried to contact support, they refused to give it back because I couldn't remember exactly when I made the account. My favorite units - Voyager and Ruler Artoria - were suddenly gone. I was up to date with Lostbelts. I then dropped FGO NA entirely. Meanwhile, because Love Live has an account linking service within their publishing company, I can connect to the, what? 4-years-old account I have that I don't play anymore? If I ever get a whim to play it again. Any way you slice it, this "security system" is incredibly faulty. It punishes anyone who might mess up, might forget where they put their code, might uninstall and then decide 'I want to play again' and then can't remember or didn't save their code, and it punishes people who have done nothing but try to transfer when the server is overloaded. I didn't even spend money on FGO JP for the longest time because I was so upset about losing my NA account. Aside from those woes... I recently tried to get a friend into FGO and they were having difficulty because of the lack of autobattle. And honestly, I know the community in general really hates the idea of autobattle in FGO, but like... more modern games have autobattle. If autobattle will "kill" FGO, maybe... FGO should look into a revamp on its system, because it shouldn't. I've played many gachas before and since and currently. Stuff like "full auto" was implemented in GBF many years ago, and while people used to decry it as a part of the game's slow death, it has only caused people to experiment and view characters in different lights (where some characters used to be universally considered 'bad', they can be considered 'good' with full auto because they have certain kinds of skills that are activated on auto versus the 'good' characters who wouldn't, for example. Or the AI uses an SSS tier character in a stupid way, so you need to rethink how to build your team) that revived a frankly stale meta. I also think this will help in getting people to get through the story, since that was my friend's issue - the battles just weren't interesting when you've gotten a 5* special ascended character to nuke everything. It's just tedious.
My two wishes are: 1) Story replay 2) better UI. would like a servant UI where I can do everything for that servant directly through there and not go back and forth between menus
another thing I think they should do is give solo units more opportunity to shine. because as of yet having an event CQ once in a blue moon that you can solo with solo-centric unit is not enough. most of the time your solo units just collect dust in a back line while farming bond during dead weeks. Maybe add a special mode, like weekly grail front simulation. In fact it can be a way to address servant coins by adding them as a reward for beating this mode.
1. Increase mana prisms for daily rewards 2. Add sq to daily rewards and weekly rewards 3. Reduce the lvl grind exp for master and outfit equip 4. Skill and ascension material farming should reflect ember farming, higher lvl means higher rarity drops, (eg) low lvl tier drops bronze, middle lvl drops silver, high lvl drops gold tier, this gives you better balance at what you want to farm(everything is RNG!! In farming in this game) 5. Bond lvl ce needs to actually be worth using after reaching the lvl to unlock it(most are a waste to even bother using) same for the exp max lvl ce only giving you 50 extra exp(really??) 6. Servant coins should be multi use, not restricted for that servant alone(apend skills aren't bad tbh but upgrading them is a pain) 7. More story, interludes, rank ups etc, new events and re-run events 8. 4star selector tickets annually, some can be exclusive for certain upcoming events in that year 9. Updated animation for servant np and basic attacks 10. Servant affinity(certain servants perform better when paired up with certain servants or receive a debuff) 11. Holy grails gathering(not holy grail fronts, i really don't fancy this lol) new events where you can obtain these I'll be honest i do enjoy the game and I've been playing it a lot more these days, but the game can improve tremendously if changes come that can benefit the player regardless of ftp or whales cause if I'm enjoying the game I'll play, if I'm not i won't it's that simple
I think bond CEs should just be turned to passives. Just give them separate slot from normal CEs. People don't realize how much it will change so many units and comps.
Point 9 is definitely something I need. I want to play Summer Scathach, but her kit is so bad that she’s been practically unplayable for years, but not once have they ever given her a single buff! Pretty much the same can be said about Nobunaga and Santa Salter.
Downgrading units to get back (at least in part) the cost of upgrading, like if you grailed someone and you're regretting it later on,same goes for gold fou and fou paw. The one thing everyone wants,skip np animation. Reduce ap costs for missions in general. Appends should be revaluated since most of the time you only care about append 2. Have a defined way for newer players to get the old items and stuffs which is literally impossible for them to get access to (rare shop barely covers them at all)
There are alot of thing they could improve, but the real question is if they are willing to make the changes, but hopefully the do implemente at least one of the points of the videos.
Great points, let's hope someone in the NA team watch the video and take this in consideration to talk with the JP team, sounds like a dream, but let's not lose hope✨ We really need that they increase the drop rate for materials, i know they are giving us specific CEs for this, but still, i find this as an issue. Also, it would be cool from them to give us more rare prism, either from exchange or just like the 4 star fou, at least 2 per month. The FP roll out is a complete yes! And man, i hope they can give to the NA server, the increased rate up for four stars this anniversary, that would be awesome! It would be cool that they can make surveys with proposals to improve the game every month or so, with the promise that they'll add it to the game in a short period of time.
I agree with you in that the pity actually isn't that much. If you go by just obtaining it once, you have fgo at around $200 against something like genshin where it take around $1.5k. My main problem with the pity though is that it can only be achieved ONCE. Im a dolphin, I can only make small splurges of money. But sincerely, I'm scared of even trying to pull for more than 1 copy of the character because of this. Imagine you've saved up 355 quartz f2p. You pull on that banner, have it at np1, but you'd like to get it at np2. Problem is, even if I were willing to buy 160 bucks of SQ, I really wouldn't because thats $160 that don't guarantee me even a single copy of the character. Now I know whales don't care, but for me it just doesn't warrants the expense a slight chance. However, if I had the pity, I would definitively waste those 160 in order to get my 2nd copy of the character. I think that's something they should change.
Halve the pity cap and make servant coins universal. Also separate the CEs from the Servants. Don't tell me that this won't work coz Priconne does it properly by making the armors/weapons separate from the unit gacha. They should just made a new currency for the CEs so they aren't locked behind a paywall and made said currency to be obtainable in-game similar to FP points. Everyone should have access to event CEs. I don't mind paying for the servants but rolling for the gacha only to get nothing but CEs due to the horrible rate up is plain stupid.
Regarding the point made for the pity system about the amount of free currency, that only applies for new players, I have been playing this game for almost 5 years now, at the point am I the only SQ I can count on are from the daily login, weekly missions and events/milestones because god knows if we are getting another history chapter this year after LB7. As a veteran F2P, saving the right amount of SQ to reach pity is a rather tiresome task in wich I basically have to ignore 100% of the banners trown at my face until the right 5☆ gets a rate up and if I get it early and if I want NP2 or more the pity will not help me.
Here are some of my most wanted improvements 1. some way to find specific friends or servants in support lists. I'm tired of having to hit refresh over and over again to find a particular servant or friend's unit in my support lists. Maybe have a toggle option that displays the servants in each class and only have the ones you select show up? so if I wanted to use a Tamamo for a fight I don't have to wade through Castorias on the Caster tab to find one 2. some way to access older welfare units/more Main Interludes. Just like how they brought back the Liz welfares, I think they can have a Mega Summer/Christmas event and make all those older welfare units available again. 3. more frequent animation updates. I understand spritework is hard, but I find it pretty unacceptable that we're bordering on 8 years of the game and a lot of servants still have Caster ball animations or stock "hitting" animations (like Jeanne and Jalter, two pretty popular characters stuck with stock animations...)
Why does the main story still require AP? That's imo one of the biggest reasons people aren't beating the story. You log on, you spend your AP doing the current event nodes, grind embers on half AP, grind some ascension material you really need to upgrade that 5* you got last month, etc. The story is always available and thus it feels low priority, especially since you know there's like a year until the next story comes out. Low priority content is not played when you can spend the limited resource that is AP on other things. Free main story play means people who are behind can just play whenever they want to. I was stuck not reading Olympus for months and months cause I missed the release window, so I'm speaking from experience.
Hot takes coming in here?: Fou Paws acquisition could probably be multiplied x10. I'm basically a JP launch player and I only have one unit max fou-paw'd despite playing the game religiously because applying divinity on one of a unit's cards isn't much of a buff lategame and fou paws take forever to get. Pity is too high, but not way too high. I try to keep my reserves above pity if I can, but the handful of times I've actually hit it feel really fucking bad. Even if they lower it to 250-220 pulls I think it'd feel a lot better. As it stands, if you hit pity, you got fucking hosed by the gacha and you know it. I actually think story rate is fine, they just need to neatly clear their deadlines, unlike the 7-2 situation. They had a year to get LB7 ready, it all should have been done on christmas and they they can timegate it into 2 parts to buy them a month of devtime to get ahead on future content. Instead it's pretty clear that part 1 was barely done by the 25th of Dec and they're scrambling to this day to get 7-2 out before the end of Jan. This shows serious mismanagement.
Wishlist -friends just show up all the time. If im your friend i should be able to use your units. -make slots for each extra class. We have 6 extra classes total on jp and we can only pick 3 out of all of them.
Quick should have a support unit that heals on NP using 5 stars at the end of the turn and has a defensive skill that triggers when a unit gets hit/crit and consume starts to protect them in some way
These things are what u think the game needs the most. 1. More Main interlude so that new players can get old welfare units. 2. A filter in the friend/support list to lock certain supports so that they always show up. 3.Story fights replay.
"The pity system is okay due to how much currency they give out for free" You need to save for at least half of a year for ONE pity. I don't know in what place this is Okay...
Best way to improve the game is straight up end service and make a fgo 2, I’m probably wrong but I think this game being so old and having probably the most shit code of any gacha game is REALLY holding it back.
What I wish to see implemented is a search bar for CE/Servants search or by iD # search for servants and CE and servant coins conversion (idk how servant coin conversion going to work but I would like to see it implemented too)
>your roster is always expanding It doesn't really feel like it tho. I only get new servants on summer and MAYBE one other time a year. If anything, I feel quite stagnant tbh. I have all my servants lvls and fou'd, and whoever I get also gets everything in one go. The only reason I don't have all my servants 9/9/9 is because mat farming is a pain in the ass, so I only work on the one I actually use or are my favorites, and even then mat farming for those is a royal pain in the ass. Aside everything you mentioned, I wish they got rid of the bond limit and simply allowed us to use all servants Bond 10+ as we please and get 30SQ every 1M bond exp and be done with it. That would help me stop worrying about reaching bond 10 with my servants, and wasting bond exp when I don't have enough flames to go around. If they still want to use the chaldea flames, at least just make it so you only need 1 to unlock the "infinite bond" lvl, and return all the ones spent after the first one so you can use your flames on other servants that needs them. Because my roster may expand, but not so fast that I don''t bond my servants, if anything, I worry that I over use them and I waste resources (which as a F2P/C2P are very important). I also want to be able to save party presets or have more party slots that I can use. Because I often find myself using all my slots with different parties for event nodes and leave them there for then I need to farm them again, but they are not enough most of the time... not to mention that I have to delete the one I was using for mat farming to use for the event farming or the CQ. Also, I want to be able to save shortcuts to 5 to 10 nodes so I don't have to look on the wiki where to farm over and over again and waste time going around the singularity menu all the time whenever they kick me out on reset. Also, please stop kicking me out of the game on daily reset. It annoys me to no end, especially I am farming manually, playing the story or leave it farming with FGA when I got to sleep on lotto events. I know it doesn't do it when you are already inside a node when it happens, so I know it can be done. Also, if possible. Make xp and fou inventories separate from the servant one. It would help quite a bit when rolling or simply storing stuff. Lastly, expand the gift box... for obvious reasons. lol
I just wanna 120 jerker, soon to be 110. Very hopeful for QoL updates to be brought to EN early. everything else apart from account security is pretty niche and has counter-arguments imo
12:40 I guess this is a half point for this, putting more in the RP shop. That doesn't help on the F2P scale. 13:52 I must have missed the news about a SR voucher. 35:43 Not just buffs (and more than just slapping a 30% battery on a Servant), but if they hired more animators, maybe we can get more animation updates for neglected early Servants who are still stuck with the lazy simple animations they debuted with (namely launch and Year 1 Servants as who should be prioritized at this point). They really need to be doing more with Main Interludes. If they want to increasingly keep stalling the main story, I'm sure it'd be a lot easier to bring out the codes for old events than it is to write more and more new ones. Just in this dead month on JP while stalling out LB7 Part 2 they could have put in a rerun or two of events they're overdue to have (like Fate/Requiem and Little Big Tengu), or even two more Main Interludes of old early events many players wouldn't have been around for. I know they said they'd do less reruns, but at least give players Main Interludes (as reruns they can take their time with) to occupy themselves with.
Animation Updates at regular intervals can't have day 1 animations on servants almost 8 years into the game Way way better engagement with the community atleast start with something Better pacing for the story chapters the hype dies down so massively between the releases Also the account binding part it's 8 years and still no safe and secure way to bind your account These are my main changes I wish to see implemented
one thing i need to complain about is balancing the game around the extreme. The 90++ nodes and the philosophy that created them should not exist at all
A large part of this is the dev's own fault for making oberon's damage scaling so crazy that just about anything worked at np1. I think 90++ is born from the philosophy that they need to make NP levels matter more, and it kind of misses the mark.
Adjust drop rates for all materials...reduce needed quantities to a maximum of 10 per item only. Needing like 24 dusts, proofs, or bones for one skill....is ridiculous. Make daily quests for CE exp cards just like they have exp cards for heroes. I am tired of my MLB CE's at level 23. At the end of each Singularity, give players the Final Ascension boost alongside the Grail. This will allow a big power boost to new and mid game players. This will be another incentive for players to continue with the storyline. Finish a Singularity, get a free unit max promotion.
An example of the NP animation and ascension problem is with OG Abby. A lot of people prefer her original ascension but it easily has the worst NP animation.
