Most boring and useless event ?

Being a regular player of FGO since the global launch, I found this event the most boring and useless one in NA.

The theme is Magical Lolis and god, I hate Magical Girls and Loli and we got a combination of them...

The narration is too long with too many 0 AP. While I want to spend some of my AP before getting back to my work, I am stuck with 0 Ap quests with narration and 10-15 AP with narration again. And hey, they are talking about magical girls, how they think, feel, act...

The raids are too easy for now (just completed Medea's Raid). All you have to do is to find a Raikou with the event CE and launch her NP against the boss.

The two SSR in the rateup are two 5* listed as Tier 5 and 6. One is a Loli magical girl (10 years old) who has better alternatives and useless against the raids' boss (Casters and a Rider) and the other one is a Thot queen... The others SR are also Lolis...

Even the welfare servant is a Loli, of course. She is one of the best but still.

The only reason I am playing is for the mats, the event CEs and the Crystallized Lore...

Hesitating about Chloe only because she is a loli? Well, sounds like it's just your hate against magical girls and loli that prevents you from having fun in this event.

Getting Chloe will be just a formality... Not sure I will ever use her with many whales in my support list having Archuria NP5 and all skills @ 10.

I loved the main story and most of the events but this one is just awful, plain and simple.

If the entire game was just about Lolis, I would have quit a long time ago.

It is just an opinion, nothing else ;).

I'm not a magical girl fan at all, but I gave the Prisma Ilya show a try because I was bored and -Fate-. I actually enjoyed it quite a lot.
The writing for the event is somewhat true to the show and I find Ilya's face expressions quite entertaining and cute. Overall I think it's not the worst so far and it makes me want to roll for Ilya, although I'm really not interested in having her on my team.

In my opinion, most of the writing in FGO is pretty pointless/annoying/childish except for Camelot..
The dialogue "choices" we get in between are pretty much laughable.

I don't hate the event, I just hate that I have to play it to get more crystalized lore.

Since when did people care about tier lists? You're supposed to summon for who you like, this game isn't that difficult.

You can't defend your own opinion in a salty way and then insult other peoples opinions lol. This whole post is trash

I didn't insult, just said weird, uncommon if you want ;)

If you didn't figure out that the whole post is a troll, it can't be helped.

It's a bad troll. It makes sense as a legit complaint because Prisma illya certainly has its issues (WHERE IS MY FUCKING OPTION TO SPAM HEADPAT!?)

OP I get your pain in regards to the loli stuff. It's annoying me as well (dammit Ilya, stop making that face). You can always skip the narrations though and just get trough the story and onto collecting enough material for shopping. It's not like you have to get or use the servants or CEs either. *shrugs* Chalk it up to differing viewpoints / personal preference and all that.

If this is the first event you dislike since the start of NA then that's still pretty good.

Well, I usually play the main story and events without any distraction during the narration part but with this one, I am reading diagonally while watching the TV...

I want to have a global idea at least about the story while not focusing in the details. I am not enjoying it at all but I am like that.

Nah, I get it, I usually follow the story as well since the immersion makes it more fun and the excitement over rolling for new servants/CEs stronger. However, I know myself well enough to see that in this I honestly don't care for the story and it'd be silly to persist in following it just to rage at it. Do you see what I mean? You're getting very worked up about something that's avoidable and doesn't really detract from the game itself (especially as choice of servants is up to you).

Anyway, just my opinion.

I wouldn't use the adjectives you used. I'd say it's too convoluted. Half the time I'm playing the objectives are super easy but it takes me a bit to figure out exactly what they are. The Loli thing is definitely a preference but no judgement from here whether people like or don't like it but it is what it is (and spoiler: there's nothing more amusing than saying "magical girl mash transform fou" and being called mashter). The issue with the raids though is a little legit. I think the CEs make it too easy. And I don't see it getting tougher with higher health pools. Not that there's anything wrong with that, events should be at about this level so new players can also benefit from it. But I guess I'm saying I get where the boredom is coming from OP. My suggestion would be to just take it easy for these two weeks and leave the immersion temporarily and do what I'm doing and focus on getting Kuro (since she's limited and a good servant) as well as on developing the skills on good units. As for the quality of the gacha right now...yea illya can be as bad as she wants but she is limited and has great card art and a great Sprite. Thot queen as well. Not everything is about gameplay. And from a gameplay standpoint it's nice to finally have a banner that isn't absolutely necessary to roll for (people are going to break the servers during the memelin banner).
The only real complaint I have (and it isn't that big a deal!) is I'm feeling some legit event CE fatigue. Like I'm just a bit tired of having to rely on event CE so much to buff item droprates. It's not like they don't do that for every event just...would have been nice to have a break from that for a week or two. Like I said though, still not too big a deal

Not gonna lie, the only thing that I can honestly say I enjoy in this game is getting new servants and ascending them for new card art, and doing all the toughest fights in the main quests like the demon pillars and that one Ozy fight in Camelot. I do everything else as just a means to those ends.

And since I know I'm not gonna be rolling the gacha, I'm not letting myself get worked up over not clearing the shop. Even with tons of event CEs I only barely managed to complete summer.

The skip button exists for a reason.

I'll agree that some of the story scenes were a bit long-winded. I really wanted to shoot Mini-Jason in the face - does he ever stop talking? Jesus.

The raids do get harder. Not nearly to the scale of previous events, but they do scale up.

As for not liking lolis or magical girls, that's a You problem, not a Fate/GO problem.

Lol, I agree about Jason. Those are the only parts that I've skipped so far.

Well I mean this event was originally made to help promote the new anime when it came out along with the JP version. It makes sense as to why it’s a loli event. I’m not a fan of the show, but I won’t complain if the servants are good.

You do realise you can skip all the narration right? Also, almost every event has main quests worth 10-20 AP lol.

There are also no riders in the event, and Illya deals double damage so what are u on about with her being useless against bosses lmao

Up to you though, I'm not all that interested in this event either, but I still prefer more story-based stuff like this than grindfests like summer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is only my second event, so my opinion doesn't count for much, but I am liking this better than the summer event so far.

It feels less grindy than the summer event, and the free CEs are pretty nice for someone like me who is running around with Black Keys that aren't even MLB. Plus these will be guaranteed MLB, instead of having to rely on a super low drop rate to get the final one (I'm still salty that I actually spent apples trying to get Summertime Mistress to drop, and never managed to get the last one). And so far, the event is giving me a lot of ascension and skillup mats and I haven't even spent any event currency yet.

My only complaint is that it's too easy. Not that I don't like easy things, but I actually spent all of my apples trying to boost up my servants to get ready for this event, because everyone kept freaking out and saying it was going to be hard. So far, that seems to have been an extremely unnecessary and unwise expenditure, and it sounds like I'm going to be screwed during Nerofest.

To be fair, a lot of more experienced players were posting in those threads that the raids weren't too bad. As someone else on here pointed out, the hard part isn't the raids, but how little time you have to farm enough currency to clear all the missions. On the bright side though at least you will have good levels servants you can still use after this event

Yeah, I unfortunately stopped reading after the first thread or two popped up, so I never really saw much of the back and forth. I just saw a few people freaking out, so then I freaked out and started trying to prepare. But I mostly blame DW for releasing the 1/2 AP training grounds right when I had already planned to get levels. Then I couldn't *not* try to take advantage of that, but I still needed levels too, so my only solution was apples.

But I am glad that I've got more high level servants now. Now I just hope that things calm down for a bit after this event, so I can work on story mode. I've only cleared Fuyuki, and I'm already over level 100 now, so I'm past the point where I can really count on story exp to keep me from running out of AP, and it's going to be kind of a slow process to make progress now.
