Fate/Grand Order 5th year


  Before 2022 wraps up, I am using my last post for FGO which will be mostly criticism about the state of this once great Gacha game. This post should have been written last month but my passion toward this series just dropped so low by the 5th year considering the state of the Fate/Grand Order is very abysmal. Fate/Grand Order was a big name back in its debut, but mainly due stupid corporate politics in Japanese gaming industry, the game has stagnated badly yet simply refuse to improve itself which results in severely falling behind against the fierce Chinese Gacha game competitors. This very situation  could have been easily averted if the Devs put some effort because FGO have one of the more dedicated fanbase but no serious attempt have been done which makes once devoted fans like myself lose faith and go somewhere else. I have even known one of the Great whalers in the Game who practically have NP5 for most of the SSR servants simply give his account to his friend and never turning back. For someone who have spent ten thousands or maybe hundreds just simply gave up with the game, there must be something wrong with Fate/Grand Order.

Of all Gacha games that i have played, FGO is still one of the least generous high profile Gacha Game out there. Combined with no Auto Grind, horrible Gacha rate and monotonous gameplay, i am not surprised if the playerbase of FGO kept shrinking because this game repels new players like no one else. There are simply no possible way for a player starting now to catch up with old player accounts due to the immense gap other than buying accounts. While Genshin has the same issue of bad Gacha Rate, the game is constantly improving itself with each iterations and the amount of contents to be enjoyed without paying is just jaw-dropping. While Genshin might face the current issue of FGO, with the amount of effort put by the dev team, this issue will probably appear in a year or two which could easily fixed starting with GSSR. The only thing that FGO still reigns supreme are the quality of the waifu selections which unfortunately does not truly resonate to the current demographics who are mostly college kids with the tendency of having more deviant taste of preference.

When it comes to my Gacha fortune with this game, FGO 5th turns out a very good year for me as i managed to obtain all of my target SSRs as well as obtaining the SSRs which i failed to obtain back in the past within reasonable amount of rolls. Just like last year my pitfall lies again on Q4 period which i scored no SSRs from rolls and wasted quite a lot of SQs for Summer 5 2nd banner. In any case i don't care that much anymore as my roster is quite complete already.

 
  As for FGO 6th year, i don't have too much particular target save for LB6 Fairy Round Table especially Morgan after Muramasa and Yoshitsune early next year. Since her inception, Morgan is probably one of the best waifu design made by Typemoon who just defeat other competitor waifus by simply proclaiming herself as the legal wife of Chaldea Master. I don't really think that any more waifu designs can surpass this level.
