Sorry, can I have that link to whatever the most up-to-date friend list document is again? I'll try to remember to bookmark it this time...

I assume you're looking for the freely editable one. It's in e-mail tags so quote to reveal. Hopefully I did it correctly.

EDIT: Looks like I did. Anyway, the one in the OP should also suffice, if you're worried about a non-gaffer being there you could always search by user or through google if you really want to avoid adding a stranger.

Well, we skipped over the FSN rate up and the Sakata Kintoki rate up, so we can always revisit them.

Looking at the JP schedule for year #1, November seems kind of cramped with GUDAGUDA, Okeanos, and Da Vinci's Choice. I could see them possibly bumping Okeanos to September.

Otherwise it's 4 more weeks of Mana Prism and QP farming.

EDIT: For the remainder of the year, in the original order, we still have yet to get;

FSN Campaign
Sakata Kintoki rate up
Halloween
Okeanos
Da Vinci's Choice
GUDAGUDA
Scathach rate up
Christmas
London

I dunno but the game is slowly losing its grip on me. I started FFBE and don't do much FGO. This start is incredibly slow, might just come back in a few months when things pick up.

I was really into FFBE until I realized that it's Botting: The Game.

But yeah, this lack of content is wew. Luckily to 'keep up' with FGO during no-content-time is to spend 5 minutes twice a day running dailies.

Yeah I did FFBE before and gave it up, but I'm really digging it now. They've improved it quite a lot since I last played, to understate things.

I just don't know why they are slow rolling U.S. FGO so much. Even when they threw us a bone with 1/2 stam weeklies, it was a mistake and they quickly shut it down.

1/2 stamina dailies for as long as it was was a massive mistake.

We should still be working towards maxing our characters. Instead we're just grinding super rare items.

I hope they will have some new content/event every 2-3 weeks. Rate up doesn't count.

Literally impossible.

They already said that there isn't going to be any NA exclusive events. They also said that they are going to release the main story at the same pace as JP with part one ending at the end of 2018.

Obviously they can't move the Halloween and Christmas events around. GUDAGUDA is the only other actual event for the year besides those two. There's going to be a couple of points of huge downtime. Playing on NA is a good reminder of why I quit this game when it first came out. QoL improvements are nice and all, but they had some huge problems with content in the beginning.

I hope we can be caught up to Japan by the end of next year but I realize that's asking a bit much. I just want all the cool newer servants in the US version lol.

Also, I bit the bullet and decided to roll my summon tickets and quartz to try and get Orion. 15 summon tickets and 60 Quartz later:

Why didn't I just save like I said I was going too lol.

In September I'll try to finish every interlude and farm some more mana prisms. Ever since the half ap ended I didn't get many more.

I still have a lot of interludes and free quests untouched, so no event time isn't a problem for me. Dailies take up most of my AP on normal days anyway (110 on XP/QP + 90 on Pieces / mats)

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I got a Mooncell Automaton from FP roll 2 days before the event end.

That's unfortunate because while the brand is strong in Japan, it is less so here. I worry about the longevity of the game. The good news is that it only takes a few minutes to burn all my energy.

I wouldn't. They clearly have a small team on the game so the cost is next to nothing and makes ~40k/day.

Gotcha, I didn't realize how big this game was until recently. I hope it continues to do well but maybe if users start to drop off they will increase the content flow of the game. Like I said I don't want to have to wait two to three years to get caught up with JP version they should increase the speed of events for the US version.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

And since we're not getting US exclusive events, the very best we can hope for is the rare simultaneous release of events in JP and US. Like if a new movie comes out and it's a worldwide release they might make an event based around the movie that will come to both US and JP at the same time.

4 weeks of no new content for a F2P gacha game would be a huge mistake imo.

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see. Let's hope they make decisions that benefit US players. I like the game and will be willing to spend money on it but they need to make sure they don't drag things out. For example the summer event going on right now, they should bring that to US next summer, not two years from now.

Man RNG is weird. I got 0 hearts up until today, from strictly running AP30 quest over and over after clearing all the story and 40Ap quests once. Now this morning in 4 runs I got 2 hearts.

Keep 'em coming.

The first time I did the 30ap quest I got a gem. Ever since I only got 1 more golden chest and it was XP card. No chests since then.
RIP Gil max ascension.

Looks like Fate/Extella is getting a sequel (well more info about it), more info on 8/30, which is also when the current summer event ends in Japan, I'm told.

So I'd expect some tie-in event at some point, though it'll be a long way off for us in NA.

A day and three hours left on the event timer and I've already cleaned out everything including the Fous and the XP cards.

Only things left are the 2k and 5k dango CEs and who the hell's gonna pay for those, eh?

I'm just running the 30 AP one for hearts and gems at this point. Too bad I've only gotten one heart thus far. Stingy bastards.

Gencon took up a lot of time. I cleared out all the monuments, but I'd like the pieces and Fou cards too. not sure I will have time but I'll try anyway, I get +10 to everything per run.

I got one deck of Fou's left to buy. I'm 102% sure I won't bother nabbing either of the remaining 5* CEs in the shop, especially after the nonstop 5AP gravy train. Gotta get started on those Master Missions and fight for some XP cards for my new servants!
I nabbed Liz Bathory and Orion during Dangofest, and I'm 7 levels away from being to fully-ascend Gil.

I hope we get Okeanos in September. I'd rather not get the Halloween event early just to preserve the sanctity of the Original Japanese Release Content Schedule(TM), and having a new map means new story, new free missions, new free Quartz, new farming locations.

There is no way I will be able to get all the monuments and pieces at this point. I got all the archer ones at least (and max ascended EMIYA) and I guess I'll just grab what I can of Rider and Assassin and just be satisfied.

Are later events as grindy as this? Because uuuugh.

Christmas I can understand, but is Halloween actually that sacred? They've already moved the Moon-viewing event way forward, after all.

For marketing purposes it's probably better to align Halloween with, well, Halloween.

But maybe they could give us Okeanos and London soon.

Moving up the event had nothing to do with the eclipse and everything to do with nobody knowing when the moon-viewing festival actually is anyway.

Halloween definitely needs to be in October.

Halloween actually introduces servants for Okeanos, and Christmas for London. They'll probably have to rewrite text or else you'll be meeting people you recognize from events that haven't happened yet.

I'd rather Halloween be in October, but that's a really brutal gap if there's nothing until then(JP event started Oct 21st, 2 months from today). They can move up Okeanos or GudaGuda if needed.
