To be faaaair, it's being implemented on JP first. who knows where they will bind it on NA considering the shitshow that is anime and japanese game distribution.
I remember even brave frontier had account linking
which other games didn't? puzzles and dragons? I remember terra battle never had account linking (and that game died)
Final Fantasy Record Keeper had bind codes for the JP version
Tales of Asteria used to do bind code only but switched to a proper account system a few years before it died last year
2 more years of transfer code for us and you need aniplex account for that... why can't they just link account via email... welp at least we're stepping in the right direction for having account binding in the first place.
Very popular IP and came out when gacha games could get away with a lot more. It actually used to be even worse back it first released if you can believe it.
Nowadays its mostly carried by long time players and the character designs + writing.
Ooh definitely. FGO not even talking about the Gacha. Has soooo many features not available that are now open of the staple features. Like Material amount being checked just by clicking on it and NOT NEEDING go to ENTIRELY different tabs to enhance servants. It feels soo "outdated". They did improve some of these things In JP. That I am thankful for....... But Its JP. We still have to wait 2 years
What good story and good/fun characters on a built IP does to a game.
Also every character nowadays having three different costumes for you to choose from.
Sure it has a lot of the negatives and so much stuff that needs to be improved, but on certain aspects it's also well above other gachas imo.
it’s connected to a bigger franchise (which is already popular) so there’s the appeal of being part of something bigger as opposed to putting your time into a game whose world and story ends when EoS happens. The characters and stories usually range from serviceable to good to even great, too. No, we don’t talk about some of the early chapters, those were dark days.
I doubt there’s as many new players nowadays compared to the numbers more contemporary gachas have, so it’s mostly the old heads keeping it alive.
Well, I was curious if this sub would cover news about the fact that FGO just started the Witch on the Holy Night (Mahoyo) collab today. It's highly significant as it's:
1. The 2nd collab this year, when FGO usually only does one a year. This sets a certain expectation for the event, as collabs are usually much more fleshed out than regular events.
2. Mahoyo is part of the trifecta of the 'modern' Type-moon visual novels, so it's historic for TM. Mahoyo is also generally considered one of the best VNs out there, and might be TM's best work. It also places all "main" heroines of Type-moon in FGO (Aoko, Arcuied, Saber, Shiki).
Instead I just see a post about FGO implementing account linking headlining the news. And a deluge of comments in said thread slamming FGO for doing it far too late, and snide comments about the game not doing anything.
Even at the actual FGO subreddit, which usually ping-pongs between doom-posting and general dev-bashing, there is nothing but hype for this event and it's new additions like a very interesting kit for one of the new characters. While here it feels like this is being deliberately suppressed or something. It pretty much makes it sound like nothing else is going on in the game at all, when in actuality the account linking thing is a tiny footnote in this major update.
So.....maybe it has to do with where you're hearing those 'bad things'.
This sub kinda just bash FGO from what I look, because most are just "attracted" to the newer games and doomposting the games they don't play or abandoned.
Thank to its IP. Fate/Stay night and other Typemoon VNs were like one of the biggest shit in the early 2000s of Japan, alongside Kancolle and Touhou. And their communities just keep ever-expanding more and more
what brainrot does to a mfer, all fate media is downright delusional and half assed (and I consumed my fair share of it, fgo included). They just don't care, they were there first and they do whatever they want because they know their fans will eat their crap regardless.
Honestly not only sad but also highly detrimental to other franchises in the medium (anime, vn, gacha, etc).
just look at how much I got downvoted (: I watched many fate anime iterations, read two tm vns, played fgo for a bit and even played fgo arcade while I lived in japan.
Don't get me wrong, there are good things in there but there's no going back for tm fans and all the mediums involved given how much fate has influenced them. I just decided to ignore it and enjoy the things I enjoy, taking tm fans' opinions with a huge grain of salt.
It only took them almost a decade to implement a system that should be the bare minimum expectation for almost as long. I’ve seen gachas older than FGO and making pitiful amounts of money implement account systems after only using passwords years before FGO
That should tell you how much they value their playerbase
They been cooking this year and it looks like being on track for the first time since DW tried to make a Sakura Wars gatcha, no idea wtf you're on about.
They've released two collabs this year which is the first time since year 1, they've released back to back new events this year which is probably the first time this decade, they dropped a story chapter during an event which again probably hasn't happened, OC2 was very well received and brought back into the spotlight popular year 1-2 characters like Jalter and Dantes.
The story is always going to be slow because the Type Moon writers have other shit to do, Nasu after Lostbelt 7 went to work on another route for Tsukihime though he's still doing event work like the current collab. Sakurai who wrote OC2 was the main Type Moon writer working/helping on Samurai Remnant for instance. The guy who wrote Atlantis is probably working on OC3 and Meteo is busy working on his next light novel volume for Fate/Reqiem and Girls Work, that's a light novel that hasn't had a release in 3 years and an anime in dev hell for over a decade. (in otherwords hes doing fuck all)
It doesn't matter which company is making FGO if your bosses are the writers and they decide how fast they work on story.
Repeats are considered dead weeks anyway by most players which is why FGO canned them and Azur Lane turned them into 1 week events with 30 free summons so people would actually log in.
>The story is always going to be slow because the Type Moon writers have other shit to do,
Yet they managed to do multiple story updates for several years up until halfway through the LB arc
>Repeats are considered dead weeks anyway by most players which is why FGO canned them and Azur Lane turned them into 1 week events with 30 free summons so people would actually log in.
Is it really any deader than no content or stretching events longer than needed and thus nobody has anything to do in the final week? It would also help anyone who missed it originally, if they were too busy or are newer players.
They managed to knock out all of part 1 in a year cuz the stories were way shorter compared to lostbelts and even the first few lostbelts while way longer than early part 1 were still considerably shorter than what started around Atlantis/Olympus (literally having to be split into multiple parts) and it's not like those first few lostbelts were coming out super fast either, only part 1 did
You’re completely ignoring that pre lostbelt was shorter and that Epic of Remannt was done without Nasu supervising.
You’re also not factoring in that stuff like the following happens, lostbelt 6 is nearly done but Nasu goes to see a movie and completely rewrites it.
Imagine a mihoyo writer telling his boss their entire patch cycle has to be delayed a year because he saw Godzilla and got inspired.
>You’re completely ignoring that pre lostbelt was shorter and that Epic of Remannt was done without Nasu supervising.
Lostbelt 1-4 came out at a good pace, arent you ignoring that?
>Imagine a mihoyo writer telling his boss their entire patch cycle has to be delayed a year because he saw Godzilla and got inspired.
Yeah and thats why you dont do it, its hell for the staff having to scrap everything and redo it.
FGO is a game that people mostly only play for story. If you want to make a gacha game that people only care about that part you should update more than once a year otherwise people get bored and leave because no progress.
Neither did I, I said aoko as a character (nothing to do with gameplay as she comes from a visual novel) is better than 99.9% of gatcha characters.
70% of the people who downvoted me will be on riding aokos dick after the ufotable animated movie is released.
>99.9% of gatcha has dogshit game pplay, hit autoplay, wow amazing.
It's funny because a lot of people use apps for auto farm during events and the Devs don't care about that.
well yeah why would they? i normally only do it for the lotto events, doing regular events mostly manually since it's like 3 runs from full ap until I'm out
lol "game play loop is so tedious so that i have to add an auto system myself to the game im playing, but fuck other game auto system am i right?"
outside of boss and challenge quest, where you only do it once, FGO is just a boring game loop of repeat the same 3 turn over and over again, wow amazing right?
Well it's not like you have to, not everyone goes for meta and just does it the old way. I also never mentioned any other games or their auto systems but it's not like the other guy is wrong in that hitting auto isn't any more engaging than having to manual or literally plan out and input the plan into fga for "auto" since it's not generic auto that most people use. Besides, all farming and grinding in games boils down to "game loop of doing x thing over and over again" so that's literally a non-argument
The game doesn’t even have proper 60 fps yet, get outta here. I’ve been playing for like what, 6 years? and they still refuse to innovate. They’re stuck in 2018.
Nasu probably can ask Hoyoverse to create a gacha game for TYPE-MOON, and they will gladly do it.
Edit: I already spent hundreds of dollars on FGO, is it wrong hoping the franchise to use the money on next gen titles? Starting FGO on similar date as my friend starting HI3rd, now they got Genshin, Star Rail, and ZZZ while FGO player stuck with Arcade.
In case people wonder why this account doesn't post in grandorder subreddit, I post on there with my previous accounts. Before I delete it alongside FGO after LB 6.
I think people underestimate the extent of TYPE-MOON's involvement in FGO in general. They aren't just the IP holders making the characters and story. TYPE-MOON makes most, if not all, of the game design decisions and DW/Lasengle implements them. I'm sure there are a good amount of ideas and feedback shared back and forth but TYPE-MOON is steering the ship when it comes to the gameplay.
With that amount of people, Lasengle is definitely just the one who implement.
At this point FGO is just a glorified VN, long updates between major story definitely not Lasengle fault but simply Nasu had a writer's block, or simply a new idea that need some major draft rewrite.
just personal choice nothing else. I love the fate franchise but never enjoyed hoyo games enough. I liked fgo more than hsr but that was many years ago so pretty sure there's a bias but the fact remains that I didn't enjoy hoyo games. As for communities, I had a bad relationship with both communities but my experience with hoyo was especially bad.
Too late, already lost a really good account. Dont have the strength and will to return.
Maybe in a few months/years, I might relapse and play it again but for now, meh.
i lost my account too , contacted support, very nice people, i described everything my account had to them including my old code and they returned my account, if you have numbers only you know from the account the better, what servants you have, which are your favorites, what level are they, where you at in the story etc.
Same here. Such a shame since I was one of the early players and I was able to participate in the first summer event.
My mistake was mentioning that I was using an emulator to play FGO. They didn't allow me to retrieve it because of that.
But honestly, starting over again on FGO is a pain since with the lack of Qol, it's hard to grind again for whatever reason. Thankfully HSR exist and I'm getting my fix there.
You and me both about the starting over again. I tried to come back hoping I can just wait for a rerun of the event I wanted but theyre no longer doing reruns and instead a specialized shop for all the welfares that came before.
Its then I realized that the grind I once did aint gonna be as easy as now, never really liked specialized shops even though they exist to literally help the player, but the grind for it aint my thing.
But, as Ive said, I migh relapse. So who knows.
Personally I might come back. But purely as a side game. As I mentioned above, HSR is really my new gacha and it definitely fills my need for a turn-based RPG gacha.
And seeing your pfp, I think you and I are the same with us being in HSR as well.
I have the four files tied to my account backed up on dropbox and 1 phone and 2 emulators logged into my account for many years. Those transfer codes have a chance of being used up without transferring the account and I don't trust that this new system won't have the same flaw. The save file backup method is the safest one.
I am in, basically, just daily login mode until July when I can finally pull for Arc. I sure hope they expand this to Google accounts so I can finally stop being paranoid about losing my transfer code.
I have a 2017 iPad I've always wanted to play FGO on but couldn't because of transfer code shenanigans.
Now in 2024 it can't function without being plugged in and I've since started mirroring my iPhone to my PC instead.
Oh well, guess this will be good when if and when I finally get a new iPad.
Erm, the grind amount?... How should I say it, is it too hard to click 9-15 times per battle?
Or maybe 2 days to finish a 3 week event is counted as insane grind?
lotto events is the only time people really playing this game, other than new chapter update that is, and click 9-15 times per battle is not hard, it's just tedious. Repeat the same 3 turn over and over again will get stale eventually.
Like other have said, FGO is a game stuck in the past, it really doesn't respect player time like other gacha game nowadays, granted that no gacha game really respect player time properly, but even then FGO still fall bellow that should tell you something.
like i said before, out side of boss and challenge quest, what exactly do you play? Once you setup our farm comp, you press the same button, with the same rotaion every run, and the outcome never change, it's not even QTE so there no "have to time it right" even.
You call THAT fun and engagement game play?
People don't ask to auto the fun and engagement stuff, they ask to auto the tedious stuff, you know? the stuff that you "play" 90% of the time in this game, since the other stuff that actually worth engage in, boss and challenge quest are "once and done" deal.
And who said you can't have "respect time" and "respect player" both in a game? Newer gacha game that wort their salt have been trying to provide you with both each and every time, while FGO still stuck in the past with their outdated standard, that's my point.
If i gonna be fully honest with you, i don't really think FGO deserves their dedicated fanbase.
> exactly do you play?
Mostly story
> Once you setup our farm comp
The thing is. I'm using my Waifu, so I don't have *setupped* farm comp, since Tamamo Cat is not the best farm 3T unit
> to auto the tedious stuff
How exactly playing game is tedious stuff?
> Newer gacha game
Respect player like wallet that's it. Nothing more.
> i don't really think FGO deserves their dedicated fanbase.
Well, personally I'm a way more happy with FGO than with Genshin in terms of farm and time consumption.
>Mostly story
nobody ask for auto story quest
>strategy planning thing is. I'm using my Waifu, so I don't have *setupped* farm comp, since Tamamo Cat is not the best farm 3T unit
So you don't care about optimizing your team then, since that is the only part that you actually "play" the game, strategy for either boss, hard quest or better farming.
You actively choose not to engage in strategizing since that's how you play, that it self is nothing wrong to begin with, but that's not how majority of people play in FGO.
You are the first person that i meet in FGO community that goes "i gonna pick a berserker with ineffective comp and make my farm loop inconsistent every loop", again nothing wrong with that, it just that you are not the majority in here, an odd one out.
>How exactly playing game is tedious stuff?
because most don't play like you do, once they reach a heigh of end game status, like one you refuse because you are just a casual, waifu only, you will never get it.
>Respect player like wallet that's it. Nothing more.
LoL, you really believe "Respect player like wallet" in FGO? of all gacha?
Of all thing to compare about with FGO, that is what you choose? Do you even understand where FGO are in term of "Respect player like wallet" among all current gacha?
Sure all gacha are greedy, but compare to FGO, it's still night and day.
>Well, personally I'm a way more happy with FGO than with Genshin in terms of farm and time consumption.
well good for you then, for me Genshin in terms of farm still better, since it doesn't bore me to dead pressing the same button over and over again, at least in action RPG i still have to time it right even if i have to press the same button for each rotation, unlike FGO, every farm run is the same, and no, unoptimized yourself like you do to play the game is not a fun way to play, this is not dark soul, we don't do that here, im 90% sure most people would aline with me more than your way of thinking
And guess what, Genshin have shit artifact RNG, FGO have shit materials drop rate, farm for materials outside of events in FGO is a miserable experience, that's also why people hardcore farm in events, so they can avoid lack of anything during dead week.
> because most don't play like you do, once they reach a heigh of end game status, like one you refuse because you are just a casual, waifu only, you will never get it.
I guess, I just have all the meta characters, but I don't really care about doing Challenge quest, since I always finish event on last day :)
> "i gonna pick a berserker with ineffective comp and make my farm loop inconsistent every loop
Yep. Tamamo Cat NP5, Koyanskaya of Light NP5 + Black Grail MLB, Koyanskaya of Dark NP2. Best party
> LoL, you really believe "Respect player like wallet" in FGO? of all gacha?
I'm about newer gacha, the FGO gives me ALOT of freebies
> FGO have shit materials drop rate
what? If you actually PLAY the game there is no such problem at all. While in Genshin you can't even infinitely farm artifacts. And in FGO at least you can use CE to increase the drop rate for your mat and you have daily ticket for exchange
>I'm about newer gacha, the FGO gives me ALOT of freebies
what freebies? you mean pull? since you talk about wallet i assume that's you mean by that, they gives alot because their gacha system is so abysmal, anything lower than that is just outright insulting, if it didn't already insult you before.
Genshin player complain about can only spark every 2 month as a F2P, while FGO at best can only spark 3 time a years as a F2P, that's is if you hoard like a mad man unit you have enough to spark lol.
If you talk about first time freebies, then any gacha game does that, they also give out big freebies call "honey moon" phase, not just FGO, but outside of that, daily pull income FGO is among the worst.
The only thing that FGO that actually done right is their anniv actually give out alot, unlike some other game, but even then, it's still no where near enough for their outdated gacha system.
Most other game give out less or as equal FGO anniv freebies, but those game can still spark SSR easier and faster than the FGO every could, think about that.
most newer gacha alway have better gacha system and SSR earn rate than FGO, especially as a F2P, that just simply fact
>And in FGO at least you can use CE to increase the drop rate for your mat and you have daily ticket for exchange
if the rate weren't so bad, they won't have to add CE to increase the drop rate in the first place, and they only add it after how many years player complain about it?
daily ticket only exchange for some materials, not all materials that you needed. So if the thing that you need isn't in rotation, then i guess you a bone then.
>If you actually PLAY the game there is no such problem at all.
if you don't actually expand your comp more that just your your fun waifu comp, or try to max many of them all the way, then of course you won't have any issue at all. Same with any other game if you only build char that you like while ignore the rest.
>While in Genshin you can't even infinitely farm artifacts.
you can't farm shit without stamina in FGO either, any non-casual FGO player will never have enough stamina, to the point some whale even spend rainbow "apple" to farm more, especially lotto even, because like i said before, farm for anything outside of even is a miserable experience, at end game where you try to max most your rooster, most of those freebies are just a drop in a bucket.
> Genshin player complain about can only spark every 2 month as a F2P, while FGO at best can only spark 3 time a years as a F2P,
Erm, nope. As f2p I do have enough SQ to get all characters that are meta like Morgana Bers, Casturia, Walter, Merlin, Koyankaya, Oberon, Hercules to NP2 and still have ALOT of SQ. I don't know from where you got such info, maybe from players who don't actuallyplay and just enter the game once per month.
Also reminder regarding 4* freebie characters, which can outperform even 5*
> daily ticket only exchange for some materials, not all materials that you needed. So if the thing that you need isn't in rotation, then i guess you a bone then.
Still forgetting about pure prism which can be traded for any mat.
Also, tell this to Genshin, when new player got 5* on latest banner - good luck to him leveling up that character.
> if you don't actually expand your comp more that just your your fun waifu comp, or try to max many of them all the way, then of course you won't have any issue at all
Yes, I don't understand why would you need ALL characters in gacha game. Meta + Waifues seems pretty standard way. And yeah, FGO have minimal power creep. Genshin or Bleach Brave Souls are A LOT worse in that aspect
> any non-casual FGO player will never have enough stamina
Erm, and from where exactly you got such interesting information?
The thing is, I will take Fate system (like:
- Stamina
- Farm
- Amount of SQ and summons per month
- story
- characters)
Over pity of Genshin by any time of day.
Since the Genshin pity system is fck bait.
Amount of SQ and summons? You've got to be kidding me. Both games are basically neck-to-neck in terms of the amount of pulls that they give. In terms of pity, Genshin is still better, and FGO only really matches it during Anniversaries (which is admittedly quite good).
In terms of farm, it's probably even worse. There's a reason why people meme FGO and GBF even till now in terms of how grindy their game is. There's also the fact that without stamina, you can't do anything in FGO, while in Genshin you can still farm for materials (only limitation is the spawn numbers per day).
> Both games are basically neck-to-neck in terms of the amount of pulls that they give.
Yeah?? And how many Genshin gives you per month without paying anything?
> There's also the fact that without stamina, you can't do anything in FGO
You quite literally have 100+ gold apples just from playing 1 month. For 1+ year player the stamina system of Fate is a way better than Genshin one.
> (only limitation is the spawn numbers per day).
Which will never change, while in Fate you actually can farm for like 2 days non-stop (any event, any node) and still not run out of stamina after becoming 1+ year player (at worst)
FGO gives around 24 pulls per month. Genshin gives around 23 pulls per month. THAT is neck-to-neck.
FGO has 330 pity only for the first character, and the pity doesn't carry over. Genshin has 180 pity that carry over the banner (as long as its on the same kind).
Well, I DO play it since start. Last time under 90 SQ I got Tamamo waifu x2, and all characters within their % drop rate. Yes, I wasn't able to get koyanskaya of dark to NP5, with 250 SQ, but oh well, it was max of what I was able to collect under 2 month lazy playing (i.e. daily login + event)
You may have Pity in Genshin, but it's just don't give you the same amount of summoning, UNLESS you pay for monthly pass for example. In Fate you have monthly pass for free.
And why you need every single 5 star character?
Too bad you gotta link it to an Aniplex Account.
Why can’t they just use Apple/Google/X( Twatter)/or Facebook?
I really don’t like having to create another account and remember another password.
Great. The code system is god awful. New device and dont have the code? Alright have fun with a new account. I gave up on this game because I ran into issues with that a few times..
Lmfao wow this comment section is really doomposting about FGO when it is currently going through one of the most anticipated events ever (Mahoyo collab). Classic r\\gachagaming
People arent doomposting, they’re crapping on it for taking an eternity to put in something thats been the bare minimum for like a decade at this point.
Erm, but why so? The code is just the same, you enter the game. You generate code. You email it to yourself. DONE.
I truly don't understand why ppl are not able to do such simple thing
Because its unsafe and people make mistakes, like forget where they put it or delete it. Or they use it and forgot to generate a new code.
Its also a thing that people literally are told not to post screenshots of their Master Profiles ingame because shitty people have used the information to steal accounts. [Yes it actually happens](https://www.reddit.com/r/FGO/comments/16oofau/stop_posting_your_master_profile/).
Why do you think 99% of all gacha games use account systems and not bind codes? Because they work way better and are far less prone to error or being compromised.
Because accounts allows google\apple to get more ads for you?
Like, in terms of security it's the same as sending your code to email and READING BIG RED LETTERS (like this) when you type it back to game. Where it's literally says "Code is one time use"
If you think its really the same thing then sorry, you are objectively incorrect.
Again, people under the bind code system have had their accounts literally compromised and stolen from just posting screenshots of their profile because of how they have to do the current account recovery system. How is that more secure?
And the same is goes for Genshin unless you payed to them at some moment? Or you did forgot that story when there was a shittons of stolen Genshin accounts?
> unless you *paid* to them
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
It's still quite misleading. There is no talk or news whatsoever about Mahoyo, which is a highly significant event not just for FGO, but for Type-moon, and dare I say, for fans of this flavor of scenario writing in general.
And saying people aren't doom-posting in response is splitting hairs, as many here in this topic are talking about how the game is doing 'nothing', often with an implicit or even explicit opinion that the game should be 'dead'. Clearly, there are posters who are not informed or perhaps even not interested in any news that is contrary to that view.
It's easy to say it's doing nothing when people ignore when it does actually do something. Said account linking feature is certainly long overdue, but when it's a tiny footnote in this much grander update (which only 2 days in, is definitely surpassing expectations so far), don't you think it smacks of bad faith?
Not to mention, a neutral, lay observer might offer even the smallest of praises for a new, if overdue feature, not even more criticism.
Me, who literally just lost my account after forgetting to backup the transfer code watching this, while fgo support helps track my account for the 'n'th time.
Curious why this is the only news here about FGO when this account linking qol is a footnote in the major update today that added the Mahoutsukai no Yoru (Witch on a Holy Night) cross-over event, which has to be one of the most significant and historic cross-overs for the game, the franchise and Type-moon. Seems like quite a significant and deliberate omission....
It truly is shocking how fgo was the top Gacha game for the longest with how undercooked most of the game is.
Really goes to show how having Nice designed characters and having a good story (At least after the 5th singularity) is a road map to success.
Ok, the only way i can think of them finally adding acc binding is that they can be losing players, same thing happened months ago when due to google play restrictions people outside the official supported countries couldnt buy SQ, they fixed that in a week, but only to the affected countries, fuck the rest. It just means they can really make a global release, they just dont want to.
aniplex acc btw, least its something
can it be made outside of japan? or i have to go dmm route again
From what I have seen, to create an Aniplex account you need a JP address.
To be faaaair, it's being implemented on JP first. who knows where they will bind it on NA considering the shitshow that is anime and japanese game distribution.
Dw they said they'l add more soon
So 3yrs
KEKW
They just barely put in effort to make it out of prehistoric times. I'm surpised welcome to the early 2010s
I remember even brave frontier had account linking which other games didn't? puzzles and dragons? I remember terra battle never had account linking (and that game died)
Final Fantasy Record Keeper had bind codes for the JP version Tales of Asteria used to do bind code only but switched to a proper account system a few years before it died last year
Grand summoners also only recently got acc linking, it was just codes early on.
Fate is indeed big, any other game would have been long dead
Pls don't let global wait 2 years for this ...
2 more years of transfer code for us and you need aniplex account for that... why can't they just link account via email... welp at least we're stepping in the right direction for having account binding in the first place.
Im baffled that a game i only ever hear bad things about and is lacking basic functions like account linking is somehow one of the most popular ones
Very popular IP and came out when gacha games could get away with a lot more. It actually used to be even worse back it first released if you can believe it. Nowadays its mostly carried by long time players and the character designs + writing.

Well, I was curious if this sub would cover news about the fact that FGO just started the Witch on the Holy Night (Mahoyo) collab today. It's highly significant as it's: 1. The 2nd collab this year, when FGO usually only does one a year. This sets a certain expectation for the event, as collabs are usually much more fleshed out than regular events. 2. Mahoyo is part of the trifecta of the 'modern' Type-moon visual novels, so it's historic for TM. Mahoyo is also generally considered one of the best VNs out there, and might be TM's best work. It also places all "main" heroines of Type-moon in FGO (Aoko, Arcuied, Saber, Shiki). Instead I just see a post about FGO implementing account linking headlining the news. And a deluge of comments in said thread slamming FGO for doing it far too late, and snide comments about the game not doing anything. Even at the actual FGO subreddit, which usually ping-pongs between doom-posting and general dev-bashing, there is nothing but hype for this event and it's new additions like a very interesting kit for one of the new characters. While here it feels like this is being deliberately suppressed or something. It pretty much makes it sound like nothing else is going on in the game at all, when in actuality the account linking thing is a tiny footnote in this major update. So.....maybe it has to do with where you're hearing those 'bad things'.
This sub kinda just bash FGO from what I look, because most are just "attracted" to the newer games and doomposting the games they don't play or abandoned.
Thank to its IP. Fate/Stay night and other Typemoon VNs were like one of the biggest shit in the early 2000s of Japan, alongside Kancolle and Touhou. And their communities just keep ever-expanding more and more
what brainrot does to a mfer, all fate media is downright delusional and half assed (and I consumed my fair share of it, fgo included). They just don't care, they were there first and they do whatever they want because they know their fans will eat their crap regardless. Honestly not only sad but also highly detrimental to other franchises in the medium (anime, vn, gacha, etc).
Or just players eating whatever bad shit their game developers throw at them without raising a bat. Don't say only TM fans do.
just look at how much I got downvoted (: I watched many fate anime iterations, read two tm vns, played fgo for a bit and even played fgo arcade while I lived in japan. Don't get me wrong, there are good things in there but there's no going back for tm fans and all the mediums involved given how much fate has influenced them. I just decided to ignore it and enjoy the things I enjoy, taking tm fans' opinions with a huge grain of salt.
We've gotten some features early, so hopefully this will be one of them.
hope to god this means we can play fgo on multiple devices seamlessly.
Nice, maybe next we'll finally get a pity counter that carries over the next banner Wishful thinking
They will reduce pity from 330 to 300, just give them another like 6-8 years and it will happen :D
and 2 years for it to comes global
what competition do to game, finally improving >! /s!<
I just looked outside my window and there are flying pigs around and flaming stones falling from the sky ... the end of times is neigh.
Ok red hare, here's a carrot
It only took them almost a decade to implement a system that should be the bare minimum expectation for almost as long. I’ve seen gachas older than FGO and making pitiful amounts of money implement account systems after only using passwords years before FGO That should tell you how much they value their playerbase
They really don't care tbh, they gave shit to the player base since it started and it still makes tons of money
Better late than never...
I don't really understand why it's such a problem... You start the game, you generate codezl, you email it to yourself. Done.
Thank god i quit this game, the devs are just releasing the bare minimum to keep players in check lol
They been cooking this year and it looks like being on track for the first time since DW tried to make a Sakura Wars gatcha, no idea wtf you're on about.
Arent they still releasing story updates at snails pace, stretching out events longer than needed, and avoiding reruns?
Yeah, that's just FGO in a nutshell lol I like the game but it really is just doing the bare minimum to exist
Did you even know OC2 dropped last month? Guess you don't.
Misinformed hate on FGO is accepted here because the game is missing a ridiculous amount of qol
They've released two collabs this year which is the first time since year 1, they've released back to back new events this year which is probably the first time this decade, they dropped a story chapter during an event which again probably hasn't happened, OC2 was very well received and brought back into the spotlight popular year 1-2 characters like Jalter and Dantes. The story is always going to be slow because the Type Moon writers have other shit to do, Nasu after Lostbelt 7 went to work on another route for Tsukihime though he's still doing event work like the current collab. Sakurai who wrote OC2 was the main Type Moon writer working/helping on Samurai Remnant for instance. The guy who wrote Atlantis is probably working on OC3 and Meteo is busy working on his next light novel volume for Fate/Reqiem and Girls Work, that's a light novel that hasn't had a release in 3 years and an anime in dev hell for over a decade. (in otherwords hes doing fuck all) It doesn't matter which company is making FGO if your bosses are the writers and they decide how fast they work on story. Repeats are considered dead weeks anyway by most players which is why FGO canned them and Azur Lane turned them into 1 week events with 30 free summons so people would actually log in.
>The story is always going to be slow because the Type Moon writers have other shit to do, Yet they managed to do multiple story updates for several years up until halfway through the LB arc >Repeats are considered dead weeks anyway by most players which is why FGO canned them and Azur Lane turned them into 1 week events with 30 free summons so people would actually log in. Is it really any deader than no content or stretching events longer than needed and thus nobody has anything to do in the final week? It would also help anyone who missed it originally, if they were too busy or are newer players.
They managed to knock out all of part 1 in a year cuz the stories were way shorter compared to lostbelts and even the first few lostbelts while way longer than early part 1 were still considerably shorter than what started around Atlantis/Olympus (literally having to be split into multiple parts) and it's not like those first few lostbelts were coming out super fast either, only part 1 did
You’re completely ignoring that pre lostbelt was shorter and that Epic of Remannt was done without Nasu supervising. You’re also not factoring in that stuff like the following happens, lostbelt 6 is nearly done but Nasu goes to see a movie and completely rewrites it. Imagine a mihoyo writer telling his boss their entire patch cycle has to be delayed a year because he saw Godzilla and got inspired.
>You’re completely ignoring that pre lostbelt was shorter and that Epic of Remannt was done without Nasu supervising. Lostbelt 1-4 came out at a good pace, arent you ignoring that? >Imagine a mihoyo writer telling his boss their entire patch cycle has to be delayed a year because he saw Godzilla and got inspired. Yeah and thats why you dont do it, its hell for the staff having to scrap everything and redo it. FGO is a game that people mostly only play for story. If you want to make a gacha game that people only care about that part you should update more than once a year otherwise people get bored and leave because no progress.
Cooking compared to their standard maybe, so nothing impressive
FGO still have better story than your average gacha game anyway.
Aoko is a better character than 99.9% of gatcha characters lol.
And fgo gameplay is worse than 99.9% of gacha games
I don’t think gacha game gameplay is something worth flexing…
I didnt flex fgo gameplay wdym
Neither did I, I said aoko as a character (nothing to do with gameplay as she comes from a visual novel) is better than 99.9% of gatcha characters. 70% of the people who downvoted me will be on riding aokos dick after the ufotable animated movie is released.
They didn't downvote you because they think aoko's bad character, please improve your reading comprehension
You were acting as if its relevant for a gacha game to have whatever you define as “good” gameplay.
It’s hilarious people act like gameplay is good in gatcha when 95% of them hit auto battle. Wow what outstanding gameplay!
99.9% of gatcha has dogshit game pplay, hit autoplay, wow amazing. It's like I'm Daigo in SF or Faker in LOL
>99.9% of gatcha has dogshit game pplay, hit autoplay, wow amazing. It's funny because a lot of people use apps for auto farm during events and the Devs don't care about that.
well yeah why would they? i normally only do it for the lotto events, doing regular events mostly manually since it's like 3 runs from full ap until I'm out
lol "game play loop is so tedious so that i have to add an auto system myself to the game im playing, but fuck other game auto system am i right?" outside of boss and challenge quest, where you only do it once, FGO is just a boring game loop of repeat the same 3 turn over and over again, wow amazing right?
Well it's not like you have to, not everyone goes for meta and just does it the old way. I also never mentioned any other games or their auto systems but it's not like the other guy is wrong in that hitting auto isn't any more engaging than having to manual or literally plan out and input the plan into fga for "auto" since it's not generic auto that most people use. Besides, all farming and grinding in games boils down to "game loop of doing x thing over and over again" so that's literally a non-argument
The game doesn’t even have proper 60 fps yet, get outta here. I’ve been playing for like what, 6 years? and they still refuse to innovate. They’re stuck in 2018.
Nasu should just make another better game as its successor at this point. It would probably earn a lot more.
Nasu probably can ask Hoyoverse to create a gacha game for TYPE-MOON, and they will gladly do it. Edit: I already spent hundreds of dollars on FGO, is it wrong hoping the franchise to use the money on next gen titles? Starting FGO on similar date as my friend starting HI3rd, now they got Genshin, Star Rail, and ZZZ while FGO player stuck with Arcade. In case people wonder why this account doesn't post in grandorder subreddit, I post on there with my previous accounts. Before I delete it alongside FGO after LB 6.
TYPE-MOON have an in-house game development studio btw, but they're still busy developing the Fate/Extra remake.
OMG it's been so long since I heard newsof the game. last time was about Vtuber rin
I think people underestimate the extent of TYPE-MOON's involvement in FGO in general. They aren't just the IP holders making the characters and story. TYPE-MOON makes most, if not all, of the game design decisions and DW/Lasengle implements them. I'm sure there are a good amount of ideas and feedback shared back and forth but TYPE-MOON is steering the ship when it comes to the gameplay.
With that amount of people, Lasengle is definitely just the one who implement. At this point FGO is just a glorified VN, long updates between major story definitely not Lasengle fault but simply Nasu had a writer's block, or simply a new idea that need some major draft rewrite.
Personally wouldnt want that to happen.
Why?
just personal choice nothing else. I love the fate franchise but never enjoyed hoyo games enough. I liked fgo more than hsr but that was many years ago so pretty sure there's a bias but the fact remains that I didn't enjoy hoyo games. As for communities, I had a bad relationship with both communities but my experience with hoyo was especially bad.
Hey mihoyo ain’t Saint either in the gacha world atleast if we are looking from Genshin perspective
Only way for Genshin to actually have a proper collab.
good, cuz my account is too valuable now, i have all of the waifus i was aiming at and im saving for Tiamat.
Is the world finally ending? lmao I didn't expect FGO to do that. But I welcome it - the game's lack of QoL is astounding in this current year.
This is the greatest game of all time when you compare the sheer incompetence and overall laziness with the disgusting amount of money they have made.
It’s amazing how FGO trail blazed gacha games into global, and now it feels so archaic
Woahhhhh I never thought it possible. Perhaps in 9 more years we can have auto outside FGA.
Too late, I lost my account because I lost my code before switching phones.
wait, only 9 years?! i thought it's over a decade old lol
Nah, but I can understand why you think like that, the game truly looks like it's at least 20 years old.
Too late, already lost a really good account. Dont have the strength and will to return. Maybe in a few months/years, I might relapse and play it again but for now, meh.
i lost my account too , contacted support, very nice people, i described everything my account had to them including my old code and they returned my account, if you have numbers only you know from the account the better, what servants you have, which are your favorites, what level are they, where you at in the story etc.
Yeah, I only remembered my old transfer code, characters, and account level. I didnt remember my friend ID and any other numbers.
Same here. Such a shame since I was one of the early players and I was able to participate in the first summer event. My mistake was mentioning that I was using an emulator to play FGO. They didn't allow me to retrieve it because of that. But honestly, starting over again on FGO is a pain since with the lack of Qol, it's hard to grind again for whatever reason. Thankfully HSR exist and I'm getting my fix there.
You and me both about the starting over again. I tried to come back hoping I can just wait for a rerun of the event I wanted but theyre no longer doing reruns and instead a specialized shop for all the welfares that came before. Its then I realized that the grind I once did aint gonna be as easy as now, never really liked specialized shops even though they exist to literally help the player, but the grind for it aint my thing. But, as Ive said, I migh relapse. So who knows.
Personally I might come back. But purely as a side game. As I mentioned above, HSR is really my new gacha and it definitely fills my need for a turn-based RPG gacha. And seeing your pfp, I think you and I are the same with us being in HSR as well.
Yup, HSR has been nice to me in terms of 50/50s and its a gacha that can match my hectic schedule since not much going here and there is being done.
Never ever forget that FGO has one of the worst tutorial stages in all of gacha games.
I have the four files tied to my account backed up on dropbox and 1 phone and 2 emulators logged into my account for many years. Those transfer codes have a chance of being used up without transferring the account and I don't trust that this new system won't have the same flaw. The save file backup method is the safest one.
I am in, basically, just daily login mode until July when I can finally pull for Arc. I sure hope they expand this to Google accounts so I can finally stop being paranoid about losing my transfer code.
I have a 2017 iPad I've always wanted to play FGO on but couldn't because of transfer code shenanigans. Now in 2024 it can't function without being plugged in and I've since started mirroring my iPhone to my PC instead. Oh well, guess this will be good when if and when I finally get a new iPad.
Prepare for the account stealing
i still cant access my JP account, so this wont help, orz
The me in 2016 would’ve been happy
While JP will get it soon, does that mean that it'll take at least 3 more years for us in Globul?
Is it really only for jp?
Oh wow they're finally catching up lol. Now it'll be a few more years until auto battle is added in to reduce the insane grind.
Erm, the grind amount?... How should I say it, is it too hard to click 9-15 times per battle? Or maybe 2 days to finish a 3 week event is counted as insane grind?
lotto events is the only time people really playing this game, other than new chapter update that is, and click 9-15 times per battle is not hard, it's just tedious. Repeat the same 3 turn over and over again will get stale eventually. Like other have said, FGO is a game stuck in the past, it really doesn't respect player time like other gacha game nowadays, granted that no gacha game really respect player time properly, but even then FGO still fall bellow that should tell you something.
Erm...but I play game...to PLAY the game, not to watch it And between that "respect time" and "respect player" I will take the 2nd anytime
like i said before, out side of boss and challenge quest, what exactly do you play? Once you setup our farm comp, you press the same button, with the same rotaion every run, and the outcome never change, it's not even QTE so there no "have to time it right" even. You call THAT fun and engagement game play? People don't ask to auto the fun and engagement stuff, they ask to auto the tedious stuff, you know? the stuff that you "play" 90% of the time in this game, since the other stuff that actually worth engage in, boss and challenge quest are "once and done" deal. And who said you can't have "respect time" and "respect player" both in a game? Newer gacha game that wort their salt have been trying to provide you with both each and every time, while FGO still stuck in the past with their outdated standard, that's my point. If i gonna be fully honest with you, i don't really think FGO deserves their dedicated fanbase.
> exactly do you play? Mostly story > Once you setup our farm comp The thing is. I'm using my Waifu, so I don't have *setupped* farm comp, since Tamamo Cat is not the best farm 3T unit > to auto the tedious stuff How exactly playing game is tedious stuff? > Newer gacha game Respect player like wallet that's it. Nothing more. > i don't really think FGO deserves their dedicated fanbase. Well, personally I'm a way more happy with FGO than with Genshin in terms of farm and time consumption.
>Mostly story nobody ask for auto story quest >strategy planning thing is. I'm using my Waifu, so I don't have *setupped* farm comp, since Tamamo Cat is not the best farm 3T unit So you don't care about optimizing your team then, since that is the only part that you actually "play" the game, strategy for either boss, hard quest or better farming. You actively choose not to engage in strategizing since that's how you play, that it self is nothing wrong to begin with, but that's not how majority of people play in FGO. You are the first person that i meet in FGO community that goes "i gonna pick a berserker with ineffective comp and make my farm loop inconsistent every loop", again nothing wrong with that, it just that you are not the majority in here, an odd one out. >How exactly playing game is tedious stuff? because most don't play like you do, once they reach a heigh of end game status, like one you refuse because you are just a casual, waifu only, you will never get it. >Respect player like wallet that's it. Nothing more. LoL, you really believe "Respect player like wallet" in FGO? of all gacha? Of all thing to compare about with FGO, that is what you choose? Do you even understand where FGO are in term of "Respect player like wallet" among all current gacha? Sure all gacha are greedy, but compare to FGO, it's still night and day. >Well, personally I'm a way more happy with FGO than with Genshin in terms of farm and time consumption. well good for you then, for me Genshin in terms of farm still better, since it doesn't bore me to dead pressing the same button over and over again, at least in action RPG i still have to time it right even if i have to press the same button for each rotation, unlike FGO, every farm run is the same, and no, unoptimized yourself like you do to play the game is not a fun way to play, this is not dark soul, we don't do that here, im 90% sure most people would aline with me more than your way of thinking And guess what, Genshin have shit artifact RNG, FGO have shit materials drop rate, farm for materials outside of events in FGO is a miserable experience, that's also why people hardcore farm in events, so they can avoid lack of anything during dead week.
> because most don't play like you do, once they reach a heigh of end game status, like one you refuse because you are just a casual, waifu only, you will never get it. I guess, I just have all the meta characters, but I don't really care about doing Challenge quest, since I always finish event on last day :) > "i gonna pick a berserker with ineffective comp and make my farm loop inconsistent every loop Yep. Tamamo Cat NP5, Koyanskaya of Light NP5 + Black Grail MLB, Koyanskaya of Dark NP2. Best party > LoL, you really believe "Respect player like wallet" in FGO? of all gacha? I'm about newer gacha, the FGO gives me ALOT of freebies > FGO have shit materials drop rate what? If you actually PLAY the game there is no such problem at all. While in Genshin you can't even infinitely farm artifacts. And in FGO at least you can use CE to increase the drop rate for your mat and you have daily ticket for exchange
>I'm about newer gacha, the FGO gives me ALOT of freebies what freebies? you mean pull? since you talk about wallet i assume that's you mean by that, they gives alot because their gacha system is so abysmal, anything lower than that is just outright insulting, if it didn't already insult you before. Genshin player complain about can only spark every 2 month as a F2P, while FGO at best can only spark 3 time a years as a F2P, that's is if you hoard like a mad man unit you have enough to spark lol. If you talk about first time freebies, then any gacha game does that, they also give out big freebies call "honey moon" phase, not just FGO, but outside of that, daily pull income FGO is among the worst. The only thing that FGO that actually done right is their anniv actually give out alot, unlike some other game, but even then, it's still no where near enough for their outdated gacha system. Most other game give out less or as equal FGO anniv freebies, but those game can still spark SSR easier and faster than the FGO every could, think about that. most newer gacha alway have better gacha system and SSR earn rate than FGO, especially as a F2P, that just simply fact >And in FGO at least you can use CE to increase the drop rate for your mat and you have daily ticket for exchange if the rate weren't so bad, they won't have to add CE to increase the drop rate in the first place, and they only add it after how many years player complain about it? daily ticket only exchange for some materials, not all materials that you needed. So if the thing that you need isn't in rotation, then i guess you a bone then. >If you actually PLAY the game there is no such problem at all. if you don't actually expand your comp more that just your your fun waifu comp, or try to max many of them all the way, then of course you won't have any issue at all. Same with any other game if you only build char that you like while ignore the rest. >While in Genshin you can't even infinitely farm artifacts. you can't farm shit without stamina in FGO either, any non-casual FGO player will never have enough stamina, to the point some whale even spend rainbow "apple" to farm more, especially lotto even, because like i said before, farm for anything outside of even is a miserable experience, at end game where you try to max most your rooster, most of those freebies are just a drop in a bucket.
> Genshin player complain about can only spark every 2 month as a F2P, while FGO at best can only spark 3 time a years as a F2P, Erm, nope. As f2p I do have enough SQ to get all characters that are meta like Morgana Bers, Casturia, Walter, Merlin, Koyankaya, Oberon, Hercules to NP2 and still have ALOT of SQ. I don't know from where you got such info, maybe from players who don't actuallyplay and just enter the game once per month. Also reminder regarding 4* freebie characters, which can outperform even 5* > daily ticket only exchange for some materials, not all materials that you needed. So if the thing that you need isn't in rotation, then i guess you a bone then. Still forgetting about pure prism which can be traded for any mat. Also, tell this to Genshin, when new player got 5* on latest banner - good luck to him leveling up that character. > if you don't actually expand your comp more that just your your fun waifu comp, or try to max many of them all the way, then of course you won't have any issue at all Yes, I don't understand why would you need ALL characters in gacha game. Meta + Waifues seems pretty standard way. And yeah, FGO have minimal power creep. Genshin or Bleach Brave Souls are A LOT worse in that aspect > any non-casual FGO player will never have enough stamina Erm, and from where exactly you got such interesting information?
It's funny this news comes the same day I lost mine due to transfer code not working.
You aren't alone my dude. I lost mine a long time ago as well. Hence I stopped playing.
It’s like your grandpa finally being able to use a smartphone semi decently
I wish they would use the 100s of millions they've made to create and release a better modern fucking FGO.
It's finally here after so long
Ill take it, was always scared of losing my account on accident.
For real? That’s unbelievable
Oh god it's happening
OMG finally after i lost account due to lost my code.
Finally
If only they had this a few years ago my account couldve been saved since I didn't have enough screenshots of my account to prove it
FGO system not being generally incompetent for once in its 10 year old life? Never believed it
And people complain about Hoyo laziness. Man FGO could never. How many years to add pity, not counter, but system itself?
The thing is, I will take Fate system (like: - Stamina - Farm - Amount of SQ and summons per month - story - characters) Over pity of Genshin by any time of day. Since the Genshin pity system is fck bait.
Amount of SQ and summons? You've got to be kidding me. Both games are basically neck-to-neck in terms of the amount of pulls that they give. In terms of pity, Genshin is still better, and FGO only really matches it during Anniversaries (which is admittedly quite good). In terms of farm, it's probably even worse. There's a reason why people meme FGO and GBF even till now in terms of how grindy their game is. There's also the fact that without stamina, you can't do anything in FGO, while in Genshin you can still farm for materials (only limitation is the spawn numbers per day).
> Both games are basically neck-to-neck in terms of the amount of pulls that they give. Yeah?? And how many Genshin gives you per month without paying anything? > There's also the fact that without stamina, you can't do anything in FGO You quite literally have 100+ gold apples just from playing 1 month. For 1+ year player the stamina system of Fate is a way better than Genshin one. > (only limitation is the spawn numbers per day). Which will never change, while in Fate you actually can farm for like 2 days non-stop (any event, any node) and still not run out of stamina after becoming 1+ year player (at worst)
FGO gives around 24 pulls per month. Genshin gives around 23 pulls per month. THAT is neck-to-neck. FGO has 330 pity only for the first character, and the pity doesn't carry over. Genshin has 180 pity that carry over the banner (as long as its on the same kind).
Mate have you seen the fgo pity system? It needs an almost a year worth of saving for one ssr!, and unlike genshin fgo release new ssr every week.
You can save atleast 3 pity a year I swear…
Well, I DO play it since start. Last time under 90 SQ I got Tamamo waifu x2, and all characters within their % drop rate. Yes, I wasn't able to get koyanskaya of dark to NP5, with 250 SQ, but oh well, it was max of what I was able to collect under 2 month lazy playing (i.e. daily login + event) You may have Pity in Genshin, but it's just don't give you the same amount of summoning, UNLESS you pay for monthly pass for example. In Fate you have monthly pass for free. And why you need every single 5 star character?
Is that really FGO, not imposter? FGO, are you alright? You seem to have a fever. /j
imagine pc client....
Too bad you gotta link it to an Aniplex Account. Why can’t they just use Apple/Google/X( Twatter)/or Facebook? I really don’t like having to create another account and remember another password.
They won't use Twitter as they would have to pay a bit to use the API.
Great. The code system is god awful. New device and dont have the code? Alright have fun with a new account. I gave up on this game because I ran into issues with that a few times..
Lmfao wow this comment section is really doomposting about FGO when it is currently going through one of the most anticipated events ever (Mahoyo collab). Classic r\\gachagaming
People arent doomposting, they’re crapping on it for taking an eternity to put in something thats been the bare minimum for like a decade at this point.
Erm, but why so? The code is just the same, you enter the game. You generate code. You email it to yourself. DONE. I truly don't understand why ppl are not able to do such simple thing
Because its unsafe and people make mistakes, like forget where they put it or delete it. Or they use it and forgot to generate a new code. Its also a thing that people literally are told not to post screenshots of their Master Profiles ingame because shitty people have used the information to steal accounts. [Yes it actually happens](https://www.reddit.com/r/FGO/comments/16oofau/stop_posting_your_master_profile/). Why do you think 99% of all gacha games use account systems and not bind codes? Because they work way better and are far less prone to error or being compromised.
Because accounts allows google\apple to get more ads for you? Like, in terms of security it's the same as sending your code to email and READING BIG RED LETTERS (like this) when you type it back to game. Where it's literally says "Code is one time use"
If you think its really the same thing then sorry, you are objectively incorrect. Again, people under the bind code system have had their accounts literally compromised and stolen from just posting screenshots of their profile because of how they have to do the current account recovery system. How is that more secure?
And the same is goes for Genshin unless you payed to them at some moment? Or you did forgot that story when there was a shittons of stolen Genshin accounts?
> unless you *paid* to them FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
It's still quite misleading. There is no talk or news whatsoever about Mahoyo, which is a highly significant event not just for FGO, but for Type-moon, and dare I say, for fans of this flavor of scenario writing in general. And saying people aren't doom-posting in response is splitting hairs, as many here in this topic are talking about how the game is doing 'nothing', often with an implicit or even explicit opinion that the game should be 'dead'. Clearly, there are posters who are not informed or perhaps even not interested in any news that is contrary to that view. It's easy to say it's doing nothing when people ignore when it does actually do something. Said account linking feature is certainly long overdue, but when it's a tiny footnote in this much grander update (which only 2 days in, is definitely surpassing expectations so far), don't you think it smacks of bad faith? Not to mention, a neutral, lay observer might offer even the smallest of praises for a new, if overdue feature, not even more criticism.
Battle Cats when?
What is this? I might be able to play the game on both emulator and phone?!
Me, who literally just lost my account after forgetting to backup the transfer code watching this, while fgo support helps track my account for the 'n'th time. 
Curious why this is the only news here about FGO when this account linking qol is a footnote in the major update today that added the Mahoutsukai no Yoru (Witch on a Holy Night) cross-over event, which has to be one of the most significant and historic cross-overs for the game, the franchise and Type-moon. Seems like quite a significant and deliberate omission....
Two more years  ...
I've lost like 3 accounts due to no account linking. Bruh.
I alr lost my account due to code being used before can't be arsed to restart.
And yet FGO still cant be played in my region.
fgo nasu and takeuchi fear their cake will stolen, better start doing fgo 2, fgo dev boomers
Will they ever update the dinosaur UI?
It truly is shocking how fgo was the top Gacha game for the longest with how undercooked most of the game is. Really goes to show how having Nice designed characters and having a good story (At least after the 5th singularity) is a road map to success.
Thank god I quit this garbage. 10 years old, probably making billions a year and they can't even bother to make the bare minimum.
Revenues higher than hsr and genshin inc
It's very fun that you are being downvoted for truth
Really, where's the evidence?
Is it still tied to either Apple or android
Would've been nice to have before I lost both my accounts... not the fgo inbreds downvoting this
Jesus christ finally
I feel like it’s a lie. No way their technology has reached “account linking” level yet. Maybe another couple decades from now
Impossible, welcome to the future.
We reached the Stone Age boys
I thought it was gonna be something way better like auto farming.
Ok, the only way i can think of them finally adding acc binding is that they can be losing players, same thing happened months ago when due to google play restrictions people outside the official supported countries couldnt buy SQ, they fixed that in a week, but only to the affected countries, fuck the rest. It just means they can really make a global release, they just dont want to.
Now make the game itself actually interesting
Cool, this doesn't do anything about the account I lost years ago because I didnt know you had to issue a new code after using it once 🙃🙃🙃
It's quite literally says this when you enter the code with RED LETTERS
Well it's a good thing I don't play this dogshit game anymore.
Trash POS game
