Let's Play Fate/Grand Order
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2017 2:49 am
Fate/Stay night is some sort of porn game from the ancient days of 2004 where you find out you're a wizard and summon King Arthur as an anime girl waifu.
13 years later, they have not stopped doing that thing with the / mark. But they made a phone game and people seem to like it, so let's check it out. Let's play Fate/Grand Order.
Looks great.
We begin the story mode and are immediately thrust into madness. I missed grabbing an exterior shot, but our story apparently begins in a futuristic research facility in the middle of an arctic wasteland. I'm told that I am human, which is good, and that I'm being scanned in. The lobby AI tells me we're in Chaldea, and puts me in a simulation battle to make sure we remember that this is a mobile RPG and not just a visual novel.
Then I pass out. I wake up in a hallway with a girl who calls me Senpai.
And this guy, though I don't know who he is either. According to them, it's common to just pass the hell out after doing a battle simulation. Probably shouldn't just shove random new people into it while they're in the waiting room, then.
There is a lot of dialogue. A LOT of dialogue. I cut down the screenshots for this post by half, and then by half again, and it's still like 50 images. While it's well written, we can condense it down pretty easily, especially since right now a lot of stuff is just happening without me knowing what the hell it is. Apparently I can do a Spiritron Dive though.
I don't understand a damn thing, my dude.
Oh, so we're not childhood friends or anything, she's just weird. I can roll with that. At least we're on the same page now.
Thankfully, it's the first day of future arctic hell school, so there's going to be orientation.
Why IS she calling me Senpai?
Okay. Sure. So she just does that I guess.
She calls everyone Senpai. But watch out, because she doesn't just call anyone Senpai!
Those sure are words that mean things. My friends discuss the fact that the new director won't like me, and briefly consider hiding from the orientation in the bathroom "in protest". That's too weird even for them, though, so we get out of the hallway and head to the next post in this thread.
