Low to zero chance. I'd suggest just downloading the US apk if you want to play the game in English.

Financially Gacha games do badly in Europe so I wouldn't expect this to come over.
What? Nobunaga? Isn't he a man...? Man, I wonder what he'd think about being transformed into a woman....
Still, I love the maid one. Motorcycle, water, sniper rifle. Awesome.
Goal for the day is to get enough Spirit Quartz to do a 10 pull. Not sure I can, because everything takes soooo much energy to run. I mean, early story missions take 8 per to run anything. At level 15, that's a lot. At least I was able to get Emiya to level 29. He's much better at higher levels.
I laughed.
Why did Nobunaga stand out for you?
Arthur, Da Vinci, Frankenstein, Mordred, Nero, the list goes on and on.
Simply glorious.
Thanks.
I guess that if I downloaded the apk, I wouldn't be able to microtransact?
Heh, nah, I said the same thing about Nero and Da Vinci. But considering Nobunaga's status in Japan, I thought it funny. I guess next is George Washington...as a woman. Ha, ha!

I've gotten a decent amount of gold chest drops before for the monster hunting dailies, but they usually end up being gem drops. Just now I did a couple runs, ended up with 3 gems and 1 feather in the 4 golds that dropped.

You can do microtransactions but I think there are some currency shenanigans involved. You might need to buy US Google Play cards.
For downloading the app I recommend QooApp since it is able to update your game without erasing your save data each time.

On Android at least the game accepts my credit card with no issue (and autoconverts the cost to Singapore dollars for me).
But it won't allow me to use SGD Play Cards.

Wow, those are awesome, but I guess we won't get them for a long time if they just launched in jp.
Also, Umu's NP is totally FF8's Alexander summon
What are you trying to farm haha?

Feathers and seeds are the mats that could drop in today's daily. I've only gotten 1 of each to drop ever since the dailies cycled over yesterday. Lots of gems of course.
I need a bunch of everything except these damn gems!
Gotcha, I got one seed but don't have any characters that need then yet.
I'm really enjoying this game but it's hard to not spend real money on it. If I am correct we have a guaranteed 5* pull at the beginning of the year but it has to be with paid quartz right? Guess I'll drop a few bucks on the game then.

Wait what? A gacha that only works with PAID Quartz? That's pretty scummy, even for a mobile game

Pretty normal, bunch of other games do it. What's scummy is actually the "bonus" you get when paying for fake currency doesn't count as paid.

You will only be able to roll it once, and it gives you a guaranteed 5* from the pool. It's been run in Japan only twice a year.
Lots of people looking forward to it, seems like.
How much would it be?
I imagine a 10 quartz pull which =12 dollars in the shop to get 12 paid quartz in order to cover it.
It's a ten-roll, so 30 paid quartz required. (JP used to require 40 quartz, 4 quartz for each roll, but at some point they lowered the cost to 3 quartz per roll, which we already have, so we'll get the reduced price.)

You need 30 paid quartz, so you'll be paying at least $30.
With the store options right now you could pay $24 + $4 + $1 +$1.
Maybe donate it to Edarkness because he seems really bitter that he didn't get a good roll.
Heh, heh. *sniff, sniff* It's all good, I'm rolling with Emiya now and he's puttin' in work. Just gotta get him leveled up!

I believe the guaranteed 5* is for a particular servant, not a random guaranteed 5* from the pool.
From what I understood it's random. There will be others that you can choose the class or group of classes.

I would hope so. $30 for a random 5* servant is too much.
I would begrudgingly pay $30 if it meant that I would specifically get characters like Scathach, Cleopatra or Quetzalcoatl.

Is this really a common practice? What other games do this? I don't think a single microtransaction game Ive ever played has had this distinction between paid-for and earned "premium currency", though I guess I haven't played that many.
Remembrance

No, every one of these has always been random from a pool (or a pool of your choice from multiple pools).
The last paid gacha with guaranteed 5* was less than two weeks ago in JP for the 2nd anniversary. The pool was every 5* ever released in the game, limited and non-limited.
All in the same pool. And you get one roll.

Ahh, you're right...I was thinking of the latter case, where you could restrict it somewhat to make it easier to avoid picking up a dupe.
I look forward to getting yet another Altria and getting her up to NP4.

The idolmaster rhythm game did this. I am sure there are others that do this.
First New Year had the "unlimited" 5*s and Okita Souji.
First Anniversary had two sets, the first had Altria/Altera/Mordred/Orion/Tesla/Arjuna/Karna/Altria(Lancer)/Jeanne, the second had Drake/Medb/Rameses/Jack/Waver/Tamamo/Xuanxang/Vlad/Nightingale/Cu Alter.
The second New Year split it up by class, so there were seven different rate ups (Saber/Archer/Lancer/Rider/Caster/Berserker/Assassin+Other) but you could only roll for a guaranteed 5* in one of them.
Then the Second Anniversary just chucked everything in together.

I can't speak for all the other games, but the other two games I've played: Idolmaster CG: Starlight Stage and iDOLM@STER Million Live!: Theater Days do this too.

Think you can dodge her for two whole years from now to then, do you.
Could you roll once for each set in 1st anniversary?
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Yes, because I'm expecting not to pull anything higher than 4* until then. Best to keep expectations low!
You sure? I'm not going to use it so it's not an issue. I think the account has Emiya and Carmilla as well, but it's been ages since I used it so I can't really remember.
I ain't mad at ya, since it's a similar, if "opposite" reason for me being particularly interested in Iskandar. My Iskandar-like options are pretty limited in F-GO, but there's lots of characters who seem to sport what Drake is packing when my mood swings that way (well, maybe not a ship...)
I think the character people have been "happy" to get in those rolls goes by the nickname of "Thicc" on reddit and is so unique that they made her own category in the tier list
