boba

[@RPGgamerGOD]

Incredibly informative and easy to understand. Happy to see that you included there was a place you could see terms in depth in my room

[@user-of9hu5if5d]

thought would not see all... now at the end being glad I did, many people making videos but not really explaining in depth the systems, always breaking it in many 20 min+ videos with lot of useless break in middle; so, thank you!

[@YatoGalaxy]

Thank you, watching this while doing lostbelt 6 part 2 story, nice video to watch on the side 🥰

[@creepingwillow1579]

Only around 30 minutes in rn but I think you're doing a really good job you explain things well

[@kleare520]

hi, new player here, thanks for the guide, really helpful, I played for a few hours with huge misconceptions about the game system and this video pretty much cleared a lot of them !

[@rokkabrave]

02:22:02 Return to Title You don't need to use "Return to Title" to relogin. If you go into your Present Box the game will automatically re-log in. IDK if it's that useful but at least I wanted to add to that.

[@JR-eo8cy]

I quit recently but you're making these vids that are tempting me to come back, lol. Nice work.

[@Sharquado]

If you decide to come back - no pressure - feel free to let us know if you need friend slots filled or some gameplay tips, we're happy to help.

[@momzyadig]

very good guide honestly watch a couple others recently but this very well done thank you!

[@smash2world]

best guide out there,brother i hope you keep doing this for new players

[@redcloud0]

I started playing the game yesterday and ur vid it was very helpful thank u🤩

[@codyalter2878]

I'll most likely watch this while doing stuff later, from what I saw it's great keep up the fantastic work ♥️

[@dr3wbyyy]

Very helpful thank you

[@bndlsswntn1158]

Even as someone who’s played for about two years now, still found some interesting bits that I didn’t know about or have expanded on what I already know.

[@Sharquado]

Special thanks go to NoFilterNate who was incredibly clutch in compiling all timestamps. Get well soon man, and thank you for your help. A few terms I want to be clear on: "Battery" is something that instantly charges the NP Gauge. NP Batteries can vary widely, going up to well over 100%. "Burning" is the act of selling cards in the Shop in exchange for QP, Mana Prisms, or even Rare Prisms. Mana Prisms are green and easier to obtain than their gold counterparts, which are Rare Prisms. Eventually, there will be items called Pure Prisms introduced, which are white in color and can be exchanged for skill & ascension items. Pure Prisms are obtained by completing story nodes. I'll update this comment as necessary if there's anything I wasn't detailed enough about in the video itself. update 1 (6/17): youtube flagged a comment as a bot due to the account being brand new. gone but not forgotten rip

[@FBread-xj8qk]

Thank you for this guide. I've been a very erratic player, quitting here and starting a new account there, but I've been very reckless with my pulls, cuz I don't care who I get, every 30 SQ I pull on any banner. Considering making a new account with proper management this time.

[@Sharquado]

I have a crazy strong account that I'm not going to use anymore (my Quick account), would you want it? it was very well-managed for the years that i used it. has all the meta supporters so you could roll for whomever you want going forward. if you want it, hit me up on Discord with proof that it's you messaging me and we'll make it happen!

[@FBread-xj8qk]

@@Sharquado Oh I'm very happy you reached out, and am very thankful, but I would have to respectfully decline, I'm still in school and therefore am a very busy person so I would like to have fun with this just one extremely erratic account I have heuhue. Though I would definitely suggest giving that account to maybe other new players who'd like a taste of a strong ccount hehe

[@FBread-xj8qk]

@@Sharquado On second thought, I can make that my main account xD, I guess Imma hit up that discord

[@Hans-andersen]

YO THIS IS SO GOOD! I WISH I HAD THIS BEFORE I STARTED FGO

[@siamkia35]

thanks for the video.

[@rokkabrave]

Thank you very much for this video! This is a great guide to those who are completely lost in the first steps of the game (just like me). I

[@immythictv]

Good video

[@kingbamoo]

Good video for new players

[@ianinthewest]

This is Coloradomtnman: holy crap! A 2 hour guide? Man, working your butt off!

[@Sharquado]

hey man! yeah 😅 over the course of the last year we've gotten a LOT of questions from new players about things that are not explained early in the game, or at least not explained in a realistically applicable sense. so i wanted to show new or prospective players what they will encounter early in this game, what it means, and even point to some of the lesser-known aspects of the UI / menus as well.

[@joaohenrique-lx1sx]

great video thx

[@localdeffdread8102]

Da grandest waaaagh iz ere time to set aside da time ta watch dis mass of dedicated work

[@abirnai999]

Thank you

[@_d0ser]

In the CE xp thing you said just worry about getting it to 4 stars, but then showed max 50/50 CE giving all the XP to the other card. Do I have to actually get it to 50 first for it to be a "bomb" or is the 4 stars enough?

[@Sharquado]

Each final "bomb" CE will be more effective with more levels on it, but for the CEs being fed into the bomb, they can just be what we call Max Limit Break or MLB (the 4 stars that you're seeing). Ultimately though you want to use as many high-level bomb CEs as you can for upgrading the top-tier CEs.

[@_d0ser]

@@Sharquado So having a low level 4-star is "fine" for feeding to a good CE but getting it to higher level first before feeding it to a good CE is better?

[@Sharquado]

@@_d0ser MLB a bunch of low-rarity CEs. then combine them together into one main CE that acts as your bomb. try to do that as many times as you can until you have 5 maxed-out bombs, because that's how many it takes to take a 5* CE to lvl 100.

[@dr3wbyyy]

How can i play the events? Tryna play them saber wars or whatever

[@Sharquado]

some events have a minimum story chapter clear requirement - as in, you have to clear up to a certain point in the story to participate in them. for Saber Wars, players must have Solomon cleared, which is after Babylonia.

[@TheStuffEnjoyer]

HOH LEE SHEET~! You know it's legit when the title has *"DEFINITIVE"* in it, dufufufu~!

[@kekulam]

Dang, this is so good! Almost as good as khad's own guide

[@Sharquado]

Imagine being so toxic that you thought leaving this comment was a good use of your time. They're completely different things, always have been. I hope life brings you enough good things that you no longer have time to waste doing sad shit like this.

[@Eduardo-bp1fd]

So Fgo (Na) doesn't have the pity system yet? Will we get it in like 2 years?

[@Sharquado]

Currently (as of 1 July 2022) we do not have the pity system yet. If we do not get it early, then it will arrive in about 18 months.
