FGO has the best story in all gacha, it's still Slop but a good story and lore continuation like Fate, Arknights, Honkai will hold players for much longer than Gooner slop like ZZZ and Nikke
I realy wonder how it holds up to Limbus which is in my opinion the best Gacha in terms of story. Kinda tempted to try FGO, but its ancient mechanics are scary.
Oh I definitely prefer the mechanics of Limbus company by far but there's no doubt that Fate's story or stories are better, Nasu has cooked beautifully on that
You can just read the story on YouTube if you're interested, although you probably wouldn't be as immersed because you'd be missing out on a lot of gameplay to story integration. But I will say that while the gacha is scary the main story can be completed without touching the premium currency gacha even once in a relatively short amount of time, that has been proven by several speed runners.
Imo while Limbus is more consistent it still hasn't reached the same peak as FGO, so it depends on whether that turns you off or not. I wouldn't call one better than the other since both have their own unique strength
120 banners at the same time but for many of those you have to choose and roll in only 1 banner for a guaranteed SSR. After you chose and roll on one of the GSSR banners, all other GSSR banners disappear.
FATE and Type/Moon has cultivated the kind of rabidly loyal fanbase most companies would kill to have. Without the flashy shit a lot of other gachas have FGO has to rely on its character and story writing to maintain that fanbase so you get some really well written stories from Nasu.
Cultivated fanbase and everything Nasuverse related goes straight to it. Fate/Stay Night is one of the most popular anime ever, you see the animation the anime has? That ain’t cheap.
Also it’s probably more globally popular. I assume it’s very big in Japan since you’ll see more Japan exclusive stuff there, and with all the characters I feel like China buys into it too. I think it might be a tiny bit easier on resources needed too? Genshin is open world they have to put in a whole map and 3D models. Fgo is 2D and idk how much storage it needs now tbh, but it seems to be 2D with a png face visual novel system which surely can’t take up that much space, save for voicelines.
Personally I hated its gacha, I get spoiled by Limbus’s gacha system now which is why.
Space is not as big a factor as performance, it can run on anything and doesn't hog resources and battery and starts quickly, genshin takes like 5 minutes to load and bonus points of its portrait so you can play with one hand
That's maybe why HRB can't become more successful as FGO, or maybe the dev shooting themselves on the feet by releasing new kind of rarity unit and changing game system
Thing is, Husbando fans have overlap with variety fans, many male players like to play as a badass guys or girls playing as cute girls, few think with only their crotches.
While Jun Maeda can still be considered popular there are A LOT of people in Japan that will not touch anything he writes anymore. There is a reason the guy has deleted his twitter account multiple times.
A lot of people really hate some of his more recent writing and he doesn't handle that well so he deleted his account a few times because it became to much for him. He even swore to never write for an anime again.
It would be but you see HBR has no budget for marketing and Yostar is stretching itself thin on multiple projects. If Maeda keeps cooking like Nasu then it'll be slowly grow huge
It's three years old now, so not exactly new, and the IP itself might be new, but the author clearly isn't. And it dues have loyal fans, just not as much as fate. My original point was that writing and characters along don't make a game successful
I agreed with the latter two, but the combat system is quite easy to understand for me, and you should know pretty much everything about it after clearing Part 1 anyway.
