The Famitsu interviews this year weren't full of doomspeak by Nasu like they have been. We did have some mentions of the story's conclusion but nothing like "the end of FGO". There were certainly some highlights and bright spots in the articles, but also some concerning points that make you question the dev's stance on things. How do you guys feel about what was said by the devs now? The transcription notes will be posted in description and on the discord in the #khad-guides section! Thanks for watching and hopefully you guys are excited for Summer! 👍

I honestly want the previous CQs, Replayable Story Bosses for CQs and Event CQs to be permanent like SERAPH's Kiara and Ooku's Kama, I want to be able to use different setups that I never got to try at the time or even using command seals for. I don't want high rewards, I just want that replayability or Replay Value, rather than just doing it once or twice in a certain amount of time. The first batch of Nero Fest for NA is good example, I was able to do solos with several of them that made me happy when I am not a regular solo Servant player. Tam Lin Barghest was amazing with Hassan Parade, Cu/Scathach, even Spartacus. Definitely King Hassan CQ would have been tedious for me to do during the lotto if I did not have the right servants for that CQ, it almost made not want to play it because of the instant kill and damage resistance along with stalling for time for me to do enough damage.

They mentioned they didn't like reruns as much because they favored more bringing new content to players. But here's the problem: what happens when you don't have any new content for players? How can you release something that doesn't exist? So in order for this to be justified, they would have to make new content ALL the time. Instead, we are seeing them slow down for various reasons: longer stories, dev issues, etc. that are taking too long. This is why JP has felt mostly like a drought this past year. They want new content, yet can't pump it out. They can fill in the gaps with reruns, but don't want to do that. The result is very little for players to do. If they can't speed up their stuff, they may as well put some reruns at least to fill in gaps. This is becoming troublesome.

From what they have said in the past, even just doing reruns requires significant time and resources and that apparently it's not easy to just drop old events and run them again. My suspicion is the reruns were stopped because they simply don't have the staff necessary to do the work to get the reruns going. They're instead doing things like three week events to "fill space."

​@@CaptainOverkillSounds unlikely, simply at inception design 1st run events to alreadly be able to be compatible with a shorter 2nd run... how many years of expertise have they built up over these years? They are a lot more capable than people think. Anything is hard if you don't plan it out but, years of experience gives them an edge there.

To me there are two major concerns I have with Mr. 2's interview. In the past they've talked about how hard and taxing it was to make LB6, and yet it feels like they haven't learned anything cause the release of LB7 was an epic disaster. From the post Morgan Fest drought, the delay, not releasing a servant until weeks after 7.1 and the weeks of nothingness in between 7.1 and 7.2. There was nothing in this interview that made me hopeful that these issues will be addressed. (Maybe even the opposite.) And if you look at the pacing of this year, it has gotten better than that time, but it's still worse than even last year. The second thing was the frontline bond stuff. When Mr.2 says he wants you to change up your comps, it's nice but at the same time it feels like he doesn't understand what the game is. There really isn't much content to bring ST units to get extra bond bonus unless there apart of a hybrid farming comp, even then not all units are suited for that role. Everyday I have to farm a 90++ Ordeal Call node and luckily I can 3 turn it with NP2 Altera, but because she can barely scrape by I'm not suddenly going to switch up my comp so I can 4 to 7 turn the same node everyday. On events you're also going to spend most of your time farming high end nodes. There a bit more variety because of variables like event bonus, but I imagine (very high NP levels withstanding) you're more often than not still heavily reliant of supports. (Unless you don't care about 3 turning.) If they want to solve this issue I believe they should first create more tools for everyone to use. Xu Fu is a great F2P unit, can we get one like her for quick? Next provide content that forces you to utilize a larger roster. I think a good example of this is Tesla Coils (Just keep them out of the Lotto). They should expand on that concept. If you create content that makes us have to use and learn about the units we just level up for free SQ we're more likely to use them in the future. Of course this would have to be more regular than the every 2 year tower event where you just plop down your highest starting charge CE on a three units you never use to blast down yet another fodder wave. We need a variety of Ordeal Call node difficulty and AP consumption for more variety. Finally, I do believe this mentality of trying to get us to max bond a unit to then cast them aside is very dangerous. For as much as I play this game to see and roll new units, I also play it for the roster I've already built and grown a connection to.

Have they never said anything about an account system? It feels like taking a huge risk every time I want to transfer from my tablet to my phone so I can grind a bit on the way to somewhere. It's one of the main things that shows how old the game really is imo.

Nasu thanks Lasengle for making his dreams come true...he's talking about the summer welfare isn't he. Now he can have 3 of them in the front line lol.

Thank you Mr. Tolovetrouble for translating this and thank you Khad for bringing it all to us! This is why I listen to Khad’s channel, because he goes out of his way to do more than just fluff and gatcha rolls. Great info here.

Coins not addressed, quick not addressed; How many years will we have to wait for that? With the bond ce's we at least have an indication that they are cooking something, but I feel like that's much less of a priority than the two topics mentioned previously.

I just wanna mention how an interview with Nasu sounds so much fun without all the dooming, at least that part they got controlled, since everything else it seems like Nasu can just drag everyone around and make their lifes harder lol. Also kudos to the interviewer, they really get us players.

I could also just convert an entire day's worth of AP into apples if I wanted to take a break for a day, which I've wanted to do for a very long time, and used them another day, or during an event if I need the extra AP to clear the shop.

I think what we've learned here is Nasu has our backs 😅

The details about new farm nodes irks me. I'd prefer they rework old stuff to not be such a hassle to grind instead of just making new spots to grind. I don't need a hardcore bone grinding spot, I need the spots in Fuyuki to not waste my time giving me only one bone in 30 or so AP... Which is an upsetting number of individual runs due to the low AP cost of the nodes... Some characters have bone prices in the 100s for their skills, and they complain about blue apples and lotto box events, heedless of the fact that playing their game the way they want us to isn't rewarding enough for the slog that it feels like in practice.

@aizeroth8858

I assume you are talking about the "most efficient" bone farm node, Fuyuki X-C giant bridge with a 4 AP cost. Stop torturing yourself. Go farm a higher AP cost node that gives bones. Fuyuki X-G Blazing forest costs 15 AP and is almost as efficient as the best one for bones. Never farm a node that is less than 5 AP it is simply not worth wasting so much of your time.

Thanks a lot for sharing this. BTW, the stuff about the overflow bond, I have said it all over the place too, lol. You are not alone there.

A lot of times I had to agree with your criticisms, I also think they need to release more NPC Servants that we saw the sprites for. Personal desire of mine is having a Ruler or Rider class of EMIYA/Shirou. I already have Amakusa, EMIYA, EMIYA Alter, and Muramasa(Shirou if he went through Muramasa's past life).

I'm new to fgo but man ap costs is ridiculous especially when story has multiple nodes I'm not max lvl so yes i do have the temporary luxury of getting a free refill when I lvl up but i mean who in their right mind would want to log in do 3 quests only to not get anything then log back out. like no wonder ppl are making blue apples instead of playing because playing everyday feels meaningless then what the hell do you do when you are out of ap stare at the menu?! what we really need is some type of activity that takes no ap that you can just use your servants and mess with them. Take Integrated strategies in arknights for example, if I'm out of sanity but I wanna still play with my characters just hop in good old integrated strategies try funny team comps get busted power ups or even get trolled by some goofy mechanic but at the end of the day i have something to do while i wait for my sanity to recharge and i can get mats out of it it keeps me engaged with the game where as with fgo it just seems like the endgame here is log in make a blue apple and wait for a lottery event to pop up but that's how i see it lemme know your thoughts. ps sorry for ranting

Honestly, the ap cost is only annoying when you’re first starting out in my opinion. You get a bunch of golden apples by playing events and stuff, so after you’ve played through a few events that issue kind of alleviates itself. I always have like 100+ golden apples so I never worry about ap anymore. The fact that new players have a lower cap on their ap also doesn’t help since it means the golden apples will restore less ap since they restore the equivalent of your max ap. My advice is to focus on power leveling your masters level by playing through the story since that gives you xp the quickest which will in turn raise your ap and make your golden apples more effective.

Why? WTF is the point of that? Why would a BL10 CE that takes forever to earn come with a Demerit? The other problem I have with CEs is Event CE's that only increase event currency by 1 when MLB when it should keep the cumulative total (+1 x5 = +5, not +2).

Possible Explanation on why they always link "CQs" and Lotto's: they always want to put a Dmg CE for those CQ's (they could reduce the HP amount to fix it but nop), and that's why they will not just do an event in which there's 7-14 CQ's and no farming (more reason to not do Bronze apples like you said)

This confirms what I had suspected for some time. The major changes they have made this year on jp was designed to focus on bond points and make it easier for the bond point community. They are pushing hard for players to focus on bonding their servants en mass. Streamers and youtubers don't like to deal with bond points. They want to make videos of their favorite servants and pump this content to their viewers. Bond points to them is a nuisance. Those that ARE engaged in bond point farming don't really pump content about it, so they are not as publicly viewed as everyone else. This causes a problem when one of the main highlights in anni 8 is for bond points, for a community that is not well viewed. There are players that care about bond points, but you don't see them as much as players that don't worry about bond points. The result is na players being unsatisfied with the "quality of life changes" that have happened this year. In simplicity, streamers simply don't care about bond points, and Lasengle is trying to MAKE them care.

We get more bond points sure but the bond system or bond CEs themselves didn't change in any way, which was disappointing. Let's also not forget how little effort it takes from the dev side of things to simply give us +20% bond. It feels like they didn't even try to do much this anniversary.
