Ask Masterpost 11/28/2024

I will be answering all the BLOG RELATED asks I have received since opening my inbox here :). Sorry for taking so long to make a second one!

Do songs used during a cutscene count?

Absolutely :)

Hi, I hope you are doing well! I have a question if you dont mind answering. I had submitted a song while submissions were open and I didn't really think about the 'songs have to be released in some official capacity' too hard until after I submitted it. The music IS officially released but because its an obscure jrpg from like... 2002, the official release of it was a cd exclusive to Japan when the game came out. Does that still count?

If the game itself is released for the public to play (regardless of how obscure), I count that as officially released. That rule is only meant to prevent people from submitting leaks or datamines or the like.

Not sure if it's the indie game anon is talking about, but one indie game that has a bunch of non-bespoke music that people may not realize is the case is Corn Kidz 64: basically most of the songs are preexisting songs that were on sites like modarchive (many of which date back to the 00s and one of which dates back to the 90s), which means that a decent chunk of the OST is off-limits by the blog's rules. Now one thing the game does is do the Banjo-Kazooie type thing of having songs shift arrangements depending on where in the level you are, and said arrangements were done by the game's dev (plus one minor song done by the dev themselves) basically going by how the tracks are numbered on the soundtrack (here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2844830/Corn_Kidz_64_Soundtrack/), the off-limits songs would be 1-3, 5-6, 14-16, 18, 20, and 22; while the songs that would be fine would be 4, 7-13, 17, 19, and 21

Not a question but I'm publishing in case the relevant person(s) want to see it.

i've read the ask masterpost and saw a question regarding alt versions of songs but there's a specific case i'd still like to specify: what about beta/unused versions? do they have to be included in the final shipped product in some way (either put in the game as bonus content or included in the soundtrack releases)?

Unless the beta/unused versions are included in the ways you described (bonus content or included in soundtrack releases) and anything similar, please don't submit them -- They're not the intended public product, even if they are interesting.

are normal non-idol gacha rhythm games fine? like, the ones you'll find in arcades?

Absolutely! I only use idol gacha games as an example, though, because the songs in them are not specifically produced to be VGM. Any BGM or songs made for the idol gacha game (any song that's not a beatmap, essentially) is allowed.

are original songs from anime fangames allowed? I remember sending one back a long time ago and wanted to know if it counted

Yes, original compositions for fangames are allowed. I think I clarified this before but I will again just in case.

Hey, I'm curious, are tracks with lyrics allowed to be submitted? Just asking for later submissions, of course!

Absolutely, I just can't guarantee I'll link a lyric video when the song is revealed (I try to pick links that won't be copyright stricken/are from official sources)

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 nobu i love u 🥹🥹

my high score rank is actually embarrassing but i guess it just proves how much dia i needed to burn to get no.11 lol, anyway if ur a loser who likes numbers and letters and wanna see his scr i have a shit ton more to say below

fyi the month range means that i took note of my dia count somewhere within that range (usually near the beginning but sometimes id forget and take note a little later) and the notes is the reason the dia suffered (and not events that happened during that month), and the 2 big "total dia spent" and "net dia lost" only applies to me gettinf 5 copies, not me deciding to burn dia to rank on day 8, which is why that day is below the rest

and i did the event with 55% gacha bonus due to maxxed mama and tatsumi (wataru decided they hate me and want me dead and didnt come home)

while im already rambling, i'll say that i started vipI in september bc i was doing some really bad math in my notebook that showed i needed like 115k dia to get 5 copies even with vipII (i am not a math guy........) and was like "oh man i am not gonna reach that goal by january, i guess if im gonna spend money anyway i'll do a slow trickle instead of dropping everything in january" and then i actually did the event and realized i used less than half of my savings LOL never trust foosy math, that meant i could rank tho :]

but hey if i gain 30k btwn now and mayoi event, i should get 5 copies again with no hiccups hehehehehe and if shu gacha likes me then maybe ill have leftovers to rank again, or at least have enough for yuta whos event is immediately after orz...... yuta my son who hates my guts (did 80 pulls on that fs and didnt get him) and mayoi my beautiful wife who also hates my guts (dont even get me started on mayoi) (122 pulls for his fs to come home)(200 pulls on his dead end land and i still dont have it over a year later)(and mind u that was while the sanrio mayoi was going on. no i still havent forgotten. no i will never forgive happyele for this.) i cant believe the events for the 2 enstars who hate me the most are next to each other, they seriously want me dead

ensemble stars music is my favorite number game 👍

finally heres his cute scr

he looks like a little lemon soda pop 🍋

ok foosy ramblings over i love rambling i can keep talking 4ever

#foosys NOT art tag #rlly long post srry #idk if i'll ever ramble again cuz im rlly shy abt posting my thoughts but i figured it wouldnt hurt to go off at least once

yooooo anon here did u see the gamepress article abt wheres dorothy?? i read it jn and damn....... future event life is looking. wow. kinda messed up. ngl im not too happy abt it w the constant reshuffling like.... i really think they should've ran dorothy with cc then put dh rerun afterwards so they can stick to the sched more like,,,, i didn't see it before but now theres even a chance that mlynar would be pushed back until behind texalter,,, kinda iffy.

not that dead weeks (i personally count cc as a deadweek lol) are bad but like man.... im just kinda iffed. it is like a hope of mine that we can eventually match up w cn in such a way that the cny ops fall tgt w cny period so i can have the festive period luck upon me 🥹 and summer ops dont matter bcs it is summer everyday anyday here lol but yeah i want cny ops during cny so after i lao yusheng i can gacha and hopefully come out with nice luck (ok sorry off topic)

anyways thoughts on the schedules so far? (have a nice day as usual hehe)

i don't put much stock in gamepress, or datamines, personally. i've been around in arknights for long enough that people thought from datamines that darknights memoir would be in october of 2020 and it wasn't until january of 2021 and things like twilight of wolumonde got shuffled because of it.

my theory on the schedule stands, and it's that cc is a dead week to give everyone a breather on dorothy, and she's gonna overlap with the dossoles holiday rerun, followed by mlynar and near light rerun. or even that they have enough time to space all of that out slightly more.

why? because this game is predictable enough with its limited ops that limited ops on the english servers try to hit on the anniversaries and halfiversaries. it's only rational based on their past behavior- and that alone- that they're going to do il siracusano at the end of august for the halfiversary. this is the whole reason they moved gavialter up. every time arknights has made a big schedule change like this it's to put up a limited operator for an anniversary.

that leaves them months to throw in everything that got pushed back for gavialter. read: dorothy. contingency contract is right now rather than dorothy because arknights' scheduling is usually pretty kind. they like to take a little bit of a break before throwing a new operator at you, is all.it gives people a chance to recover slightly before dorothy. i'm really not that worried, and i think a lot of people are overblowing it because in my mind there is a infinitesimally small chance that anything but the schedule returning to usual after putting il siracusano on the 3.5 anniversary happens, with chong yue and lin releasing on global 4th anniversary. apart from this, i don't think that the LNY ops are ever going to be actually released on a LNY date, lmao. unless some more schedule shit happens. who knows. they're probably going to want the LNY ops to be halfiversary ops, unfortunately...which is a bit of a shame.

anyway, yeah, tldr, i don't trust gamepress with anything except doing the math to calculate that i have everything to e2lv90m9 mlynar (i do) and people love worrying like there isn't enough time between today and august to fit in everything that got rotated because the arknights team likes making limited ops exist for anniversary events.

#ash answers #anonymous #seriously every time there's been a schedule move it's for anniversary purposes #i really don't know why this would be any different #i think a lot of people are getting too worked up over what's essentially nothing ab this but maybe it's just me #i still think mlynar is going to come in march- possibly the end of march #or beginning of april?#but this is my two cents on this #oh also they can't shuffle anything in front of il siracusano #because il siracusano contains the update that lets you use alters and original forms on the same team

i actually havent done this in a while but

yr in review

statistics:

grade- working. (tho i teach mostly elementary school)

how i spent birthday- i think i was drawing treblehans? i also ordered a cake but it arrived a day late bc i messed up lol

first date to come to mind- idk. im bad at remembering days this year. im kinda brought back to spring break tho

why?- i finally went to rosemary park! i also binge read motoe and l ot r 1, so those were both really good. honestly spring break was just -pacha hand meme-

something u gave up- idk if this counts but i want to give up giving a fuck abt bad stuff that doesnt matter (gacha game bad writing, bad opinions, ect). it gets me down and its good that i feel like i can get a cleanser for the next day by sleeping but itd be better to not waste a whole day. besides life is too short to waste it on stuff that doesnt matter lol.

someone hot- i mean the answer is still the same. i will say i appreciate elm’s smirkiness and gosh. praying for your character to not have bad things happen writingwise. pray hands emoji

best media- i think daibouken? did i read this this year? k y was really nice too. tho l ot r was good also. book 2 and 3 pspspspsps

worst media- i mean. i think g o takes the cake, combining 5.5, 6, and everything in between (ill never forgive new c f for their insensitive ‘jokes’). but my resolution (kinda) is to worry less abt crappy things that dont matter so this is as much as ill put on the matter lol.

favorite things overall- i think reinvigorating my love for stuff was really fun this year. over spring break i got back into reading books (mysteries and fantasy. shrugs its tradition) and everything from abt 2011 kinda attacked my weak spot for massive damage (with t f 2 being the chief instigator). it was really nice even tho it was an emotional roller coaster. ive been trying to do more things i love, like going out to jojo restaurants and stuff. i also feel like im trying to become a better person in general, like moving on from old grudges and being more merciful/kind. idk.

what ur looking forward to next yr- i want to try taking more pictures! esp of figures but also just in general. maybe its a getting old thing but sometimes the sky just begs me to capture it in time its so beautiful. and tbh i think ive taken some good/beautiful pictures this year. i want to enjoy life more, which is hard bc priorities stress me out, and so do bad games. but only the first one is essential lol.

Tips for People New to Fate/Grand Order

Been playing the Japanese Version since 2015 and thought I’d share some things I’ve learned/ would be awesome to know in advanced.

I’ll give this another check over in the morning x_x EDIT: made a few fixes and added a little more details to noble phantasms

I will NOT post spoilers for the main story, and I’ll keep spoilers for game mechanics, (ex. Boss fights), future servants, etc. to a minimum. Can look up on the FGO wiki for more information regarding these.

If you love your account, Bind it. Go to your room and do it. This will protect your account and if you ever need to switch devices, just put in the code and password (and then once logged into the new device, go to your room again to generate another one since they are one time use).

If you love your servants and Craft Essences, lock the ones you use. Select them and on the left of their profile will be a lock, if its blue click it, if its orange you are good. On their small portraits should be a lock image on the left indicating they are locked.

Lingo-

CE = Craft Essence

NP = Noble Phantasm (ultimate move)

SERVANTS

--Keep at least 1 copy of every servant you get. The biggest reasons for this are because of events and interludes. It occurs more often than not that an event will give you bonuses (usually more item drops) for using particular servants. Usually the higher star rating = better drop rate BUT dont count the lower stars because

1. They are more common and easy to get

2. Events often come with event CEs that will grant you nice benefits, BUT will eat up your cost [see section on cost for info on what cost is]

Interludes can give you things like saint quartz and materials, more on this later.

--You can also have that servant eat copies of itself to make their noble phantasm (powerful/ultimate move) more powerful. Lower star servants are cheaper to level up and if you really like them, you can raise their level cap through “grail ascension” (palingenesis). Grails are not a common item, and I would look to the wiki for more information.

Who you level is up to you. The game is based around you who can get from the gacha, so everyone’s team composition will be varied. There are guaranteed servants from the story and 4 stars that can be obtained from events. But things to keep in mind:

1. Mashu/Mash may not seem like much in the beginning, but she has 0 cost and her skill set down the road will probably come in handy (again depends on your team composition). Personally I can say that her costing 0 is VERY VERY useful and I still use her occasionally- esp events.

2. [see cost]

Keep in mind that when you get to higher levels it will be MUCH easier to level up servants. I do suggest in the beginning focusing on a team that works for getting you through the story, and eventually, 1 of every class (but maybe not so much berserker in the beginning)and later look at adding different roles (ex. aoe np and single target np). Experiment and see who works best together for you and your master level.

Also note that (inregards to should I re-roll)

When I started, people’s first servants were probably 3 stars (unless you rerolled/ were super lucky) so my first servant was Caesar who I leveled with Robin (gods his np used to be OP). Though I started a few months after release and was able to get away with riding coattails through the first part of the main story (all hail Gil). Point is, who you start with may or may not be in with you for the long haul in your main group- and thats ok, also your friends are important.

There will be events that will allow you to get 4 star servants by participating. It does require effort though so the higher level you are and the higher level your main team of servants are, the easier it will be to obtain them.

My first event happened less than a month after I started and I ended up getting the servant, but not their special ascension items so I couldnt level them passed 40. Fixed that during the re-run though xD

Interludes- Interludes unlock as you progress through the story and raise your servant’s bond level. They can grant you quartz, items, and some will make your servants (the one featured) more powerful.

MASTER LEVEL- AP, COST, FRIENDS

AP- is your energy which you spend to do missions. you recover 1 every 5 minutes. When you level, you will be given points that WILL carry over your cap if applicable. You will not recover ap until your points are once again below your cap. The cap increases with leveling, but not with each level and the same goes for friend points and cost.

COST- Cost limits what star rank servants and craft essences you can use for your level. AS OF WRITING THIS THE CURRENT LEVEL CAP DOES NOT HAVE A COST HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FULL TEAM OF 5 STAR SERVANTS AND 5 STAR CRAFT ESSENCES (and thats on the Japanese side which is about 2 years ahead). Ok with that out of the way. This means that you will need to use 3 star, and maybe lower, to have a complete team. while this isnt necessary, it will more than likely be helpful..

costs:

* -- servant -- CE

1 -- 3 -- 1

2 -- 4 -- 3

3 -- 7 -- 5

4 -- 12-- 9

5 -- 16 - 12

To give you an idea, at level 100 your cost cap is 98.

Max number of your servants on a team is 5 + 1 support who DOESNT count towards your cost cap. Point is all the shiny 4 stars and 5 stars costs will add up, especially if you are lower level, so keep some lower star rank stuff (and Mashu/Mash) on hand.

my front row would change but for the longest time my back row consisted of (in this order)

Mashu/Mash, Hercules, and David -cost of my back row = 19

Ces- I usually gave Herc a 4 star and Mashu/Mash and David’s would change depending on need. 19+9 = 28

FRIENDShip is magical. seriously.- As stated above your friend limit cap will increase as you level, but not every level. and you will want friends. You can find friends by:

1. using people’s servants as support and after the battle ends, send them a request.

2. tell a friend your friend code

3. tell the internet your friend code

Setup your support team- AND KEEP IT UPDATED. If a servant or craft essence is on support you can still use them and best of all there is no cost limit so you can attach your best craft essences to them. Got a better higher level servant? remember to add them to your support team to help out your friends. There an event going on? give your support servants the event craft essence and if applicable switch out servants to the event servants (up to you as sometimes a high level non-event servant can be more helpful than a low level event servant- but it really depends. When I was low level I looked for servants that could help me through the battle, as a high level, my team is beefy enough that I can usually move my support to my back row and I look for who gives the biggest bonus). Some people also enjoy trying out new servants (esp. if they are released without a way to try them out), so switching them temp. or otherwise can be fun too.

What friends do for you:

1. If you use the support servants of your friends, you will be able to use that servant’s noble phantasm

2. You gain more friend points by using their servants and by them using your servants. Friend points can be used in the friend gacha. -see GACHA

3. Because of the gacha, events, etc. Your friends will likely have different servants than you and this is to your benefit.

What you can do for your friends:

1. keep support list updated

THE GACHA

tips:

Saving quartz for limited gachas is probably for the best. (I would also argue if you really like a servant on rate up or need that class, BUT limited servants are well limited).

single rolls are fine and dandy.. but really should be done with tickets.

a 30 quartz 10 roll guarantees that you get a 4 star something. single rolls do not.

the rates on getting a 4/5 star servant are lower than craft essences...but both are about single digit percentage tiles if I recall correctly...either way its pretty low. But patience is rewarded eventually. I have, in 2 years as f2p, drawn 9 5 stars and numerous 4 stars

New years is famous for its paid gacha. You can buy quartz and use that to get a guaranteed 5? star. NOTE: the bonus quartz you get from buying larger quantities is seen as FREE quartz NOT paid.

rate up means that IF the gacha determines that you are to get a particular 4/5 star something. that it is more likely that it will be whatever the rate up is, not that there is an increased overall chance to get them.

When rate up a gacha occurs, sometimes the rate ups change though out the time the gacha is available, so be sure to check the rate up times.

The friend point gacha has a free daily spin. Max of 3 star rank on things pulled, i.e. you cant get 4/5 star things from this gacha.

Also note worthy- there is a servant in the friend gacha that is probably about as rare as a 5 star... if not rarer, not sure if they will be in the gacha upon release or a later date, but if you pull a servant not in the ‘regular’ classes, then you are VERY lucky. I can’t recommend trying to explicitly pull for this servant though...

taping your screen during a summoning will advance it to the results. This also works when feeding exp cards.

The community currently has a term called “Getting spooked” this happens when you get a 4/5 star servant of the same class as the rate up servant, but end up getting a non-rate up servant.

Ex. I wanted Iburaki (4 star berserker) from a gacha where she was on rate up. I got Beowolf (4 star berserker). I proceeded to amuse my fiance with my cries of agony. (For added salt this was my 2nd beowolf and my fiance has Iburaki. For the record am pretty happy with my collection of servants, I just like her design)

LEVELING SERVANTS

Fou-kun cards that give a bonus to hp and atk are cheaper to feed to your servants at lower levels. On the same token it is possible to critical with only fou-kun cards so I recommend throwing some exp cards in the mix just in case since crits save you qp (esp higher levels)

SKILL- In the beginning, dont worry about leveling skills. Seriously. Leveling skills takes a TON of qp and requires a variety of materials. How much depends on the star rank of your servants. To max out a 5 star’s skill set takes millions of qp.

ex. My Waver (Zhuge Liang) has maxed out skills and it took months to achieve this as he was my first 5 star that I got about 2 months after starting. To max 1 of his skills was 54.5 million qp x 3 = 163.2 million qp total.

Qp can be earned fairly easily (esp higher levels) so its just a matter of time. The real drain is materials, which is why I recommend only leveling the skills of servants you use.

Again, I recommend using your qp and materials to level your servants in the beginning and waiting on skills.

LEVEL INCREASING

3 star and below exp cards start seeing a decline in effectiveness around level 30, and esp once 50 is reached.

servants have a level cap that can be expanded 4 times by ascending them. You will need statues of the servants class and materials* The amount and type varying on class and individual servant. The overall level cap depends on star rank with a 5 star at 90 and 1 star ~60. As mention earlier all servants can increase their level cap up to lv. 100 by using grails.

(classes such as ruler dont have their own class statues; Mashu/Mash ascends automatically with the Main story)

NOBLE PHANTASMS

Noble phantasms can be unleashed once you have 100% (or more) gauge. Np level and charge are very different. In general Level increases the primary affect and charge increases the secondary affect.

For example Cu Chulainn’s Noble phantasm deals damage to a single target (primary) and has a chance of instantly Killing the opponent (Secondary).

Feeding him copies of himself will up the level of his np and increase the damage and his maximum charge*. Charging his np gauge more in battle and/or using his noble phantasm directly after another noble phantasm (or two) will increase the charge. The higher the charge, the more likely he is to instantly killing his opponent. The additional charge that consecutive nps receive increases as follows:

100% for 2nd position and 200% for 3rd position.

The gauge can be charged to a maximum of 300% and when put after 2 nps will be at 500%. Note that the charge operates at a 100 benchmark so a charge of 150% will act as 100% and 298% will be 200%.

*np 1 servant can charge to 100%, np 2 up to 200% and np 5 can go all the up to 300%. Np level will go up by one with each copy fed, to a total of 5 (4 copies).

MISC.

utilize storage to declutter your inventory. Not as much of a problem in the beginning.

Events will usually require you to have cleared the main story up to a certain point. most common are the first and second areas.

Events have re-runs so dont stress too much if you were unable to get everything that you wanted. Downside is you will have to wait another year. HOWEVER I would like to note that the Saber Lily, and collaboration events have NOT had a rerun.

Burning exp cards, craft essences, and servants of 1 or 2 star rank will give you a little bit of extra qp. 3 stars+ will give you mana prisims. Do note that craft essence exp cards are rare and I’ve only seen them in a handful of events so i recommend using them to increase the level of your craft essences rather than burning them.

Burning 5 stars will give you a special item that once you have 10 you can use them to get a 5 star of your choosing from a list, and limited servants will appear on that list when they are available in the gacha. BUT this mechanic is really for people who whale- spend money, usually large amounts- so they can put the extras/servants they dont want towards a servant they want. Or for people who keep getting the same 5 stars. 5 stars are normally pretty rare. In 2 years my fiance and I, free to play players, both individually have drawn about 9 5 stars.

Some servants (ex. cu chulainn lancers, stheno, more down the road, etc) Have noble phantasms, etc. that have a chance to instantly kill your opponent. Be aware that enemy servants are SUPER resistant to it. The odds of it happening are near astronomical, while it does happen, dont count on it. Against just about any other opponent that is not a servant, it should happen infrequently.

Bond points-

unlock interludes

above level 5 they earn you rewards (quartz) and at level 10 grant you a servant specific craft essence.

There’s also a (very) late game mechanic that will utilize bond. But if your favorite servants have bond 5+ they should be fine, but the more the better.

The main story (and free quests???) seem to give the most bond. there are 2 craft essence that have been released in Japan that help increase bond gain a little, one will be given for free (if memory serves). The other will be a limited craft essence from Da Vinci’s shop for mana prisims (NOT cheap).

Buy the tickets from Da vinci’s shop each time its refreshed. Currently that might not be for awhile, but that should change in the future.

Da vinci’s shop refreshes with the same items, but sometimes will have limit craft essences and esp around new years more “bang for your buck” deals and bundles.

Just started and have time? dailys are good at getting your servants off the ground. Farm for exp cards and throw in qp daily as necessary. dailys give more exp than the main missions and will give you exp cards as well. You will gain a ton of ap through leveling, which again, wont start regenerating until you use it up.
