I'm used to elitists in the fandom being fans of either Jugdral, Elibe, or Tellius. Yet a friend showed me rarity of a Fates elitist who is upset Ishtar exists because "she stole Odin's tome."
So we really are stupid all the way around.
Dear Brainless Systems, I'm joining Muspell now. Have fun trying to save the world from the chosen one. Go fucking die, Michele.
Early Voting Gauntlet Predictions
This doesn't factor in multiplier madness, so anything could happen realistically. But what do I think is most likely to happen?
Well I'm convinced all "light side" Heroes will lose. Granted I could be wrong. Celica is still a stronger contender in her spot while Fallen!Celica is just another swordsman and Fallen!Takumi isn't even that good, but I've still seen a lot of love for these two and don't even get me started on the Grima love. It's a good thing Zelgius is up against the Black Knight because at least one of them is guaranteed for the second round and I think it will be the Black Knight due to Path of Radiance being more preferred.
After that, it'll be Fallen!Celica vs. Fallen!Takumi and Grima vs. the Black Knight. Then it'll be Fallen!Celica vs. Grima. And it'll be salty and misogynistic because the people screaming about how "WE NEED ANOTHER MALE WINNER!" will add Celica to the pile of "thots" when she wins and go on to scream about "the cancers of waifuism" and raving about how "of course the only woman here gets to win again!" Because that's every voting gauntlet ever. Will this one break the trend? I doubt it, unless multiplier magic occurs.
Can't wait for my free pull to be a fucking three star Niles.
Hey Alfonse! If you love me so much, LET ME PULL YOUR SISTER, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!
Rant under the cut
Honestly I’m getting angry at this game more and more. I want to like it. I know it’s better then most games in the genre. But they’ve gone from what made them so popular, showing kindness and respect to their fans, and have now started to hit that downfall in all gacha games. The shameless, unabashed greed. They know that there’s plenty of people willing to buy orbs searching for these characters and so they’re gonna release the banners as close to one another as possible, straining people’s wallets because god forbid you try to be a free-to-play player. And I’m not personally F2P, I can’t claim to be, but I’m also not a billionaire who can throw away four digits in cash and shrug it off. If I’m really desperate, it’s three digits at most and then I end up reminding myself that I am absolutely stupid for doing that.
First off, Gunnthra should’ve been free. For those who got her, congratulations. For those of us who didn’t get her, we’re gonna be short not only a hero, but an elemental blessing to take advantage of during seasons where there isn’t water. And now there will be seasons without water since Gunnthra is out, meaning they can alternate between water and wind and make days where Fjorm is not as useful as she was.
Second off, Christmas should’ve been done at the beginning of the month. It is absolutely unfair and improper that those of us who had been waiting for it only had two weeks to get the units we wanted when previous seasonal banners lasted for the entire month, giving us ample opportunity to get units that might never come back. Or is the idea now a Legendary Banner every month and alternating them in and out? Which by the way-
Thirdly, Legendary Banners feel like a scam. When you really think about it, 8% still isn’t that high. People waste three numbers in orbs upon them and sometimes only get two or three 5*s while expecting ten or above. It also doesn’t help that the Legendary Hero is often packed with other heroes that you don’t want. For instance, I wanted Gunnthra, but ended up with Amelia. And while Amelia is thankfully an amazing unit, she isn’t what I wanted and thus I am bitter. Still better then when I went for Fjorm and got Spring Xander. I didn’t even contemplate giving anyone a Carrot Lance+, I just sent him straight home. In hind-sight, that was probably a bad idea.
Fourth, the New Year’s banner will fall on a day that makes it three seasonal banners at once! Sure Christmas will be on its way out and so too will the Legendary Banner, but in that moment you’ll find yourself agonizing over who to get. Should I try to get these broken armored units, move for the seemingly better pull rates, or instead go for the meme and get the Prince of WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?! It’s absolutely ridiculous!
Fifth, though not as big an issue from the marketing standpoint, is that it is absolutely insulting that the Hoshidan banner got crashed by a Nohrian character. Here we were hoping that the banner would only feature Hoshidan characters and give Ryoma, Hinoka, and Takumi a chance to shine with alternates as well. But only two out of four characters were right, those being Takumi and M!Corrin, who also deserved a chance to be fair. But did we really need a third Azura? At least she’s associated heavily with Hoshido. Did we really need a third Camilla?! Did we really need a third alternate of that psychotic obsessive brother-complex wielding big tittied bimbo?! Sorry, saw red there... I actually like Camilla as a character, but it’s shit like this that will make you hate a character, hate an entire theme. IntSys has jerked off Nohr throughout the seasonal banners. Spring had Nohr units, the Bride banner had Charlotte, Nohrian Summer was a thing, the Performing Arts banner featured Azura dressed in her gown from Conquest’s cutscene and Shigure dressed in similarly dark colors, and even the Halloween banner with Sakura still forced her to share it with Jakob. Why is the one fucking Hoshidan-centric banner being forced to share with Nohr?!
All of this is combining more and more into the massive salt mine that was Ayra being on a Tempest Trial banner, Rhajat being on a Voting Gauntlet banner, the Voting Gauntlets in general, and the continuous and unashamed power creep that has been plaguing this game ever since. And I know they’re trying, they’re not completely silent on the matter, but it’s still... still irritating nonetheless.
Ninian calling anyone a thot is the most OOC thing I've ever seen and the disgraceful artist should be ashamed for sullying her good name.
