"She's a solid midgame Arts looper" Here's the problem, and my biggest problem with Ranmaru as a whole: YOU HAD TO BEAT HEIAN-KYO TO GET HER. If you beat Heian-kyo, you beat Atlantis and Olympus. If you've beaten THOSE, then you are NOT in a position where a "midgame looper" is valuable to you. Like you said, there's no reason for her to be this exclusive, and it's not like the event is even hard. It's a bog-standard mission event, like we've had a dozen of in the past.
You don't need loopers for the main quest, you can beat that with anything, the point is to farm the mats afterwards. She can still do that, for new accounts having her+ habetrot free sup castoria and something else like paracelsus is crazy good.
Shes definitely meant to be for saber wars 3 but I'm guessing with how much dev time lb7 took up and how much dead time we have to endure the next 2 years SW3 got scrapped or postponed til god knows when
What I find absolutely hilarious is that Mori Ranmaru was so desperate to get back Nobbu's head that he called out for a gender unknown sci-fi chunbi alternate dimension version of himself to clean up the mess that he left behind. I completely understood how shocked he was in the epilogue because that's so far outside the realm of normalcy that not even Gudaguda shenanigans can fully explain it.
@@mrdolphin549 To be fair, 'main focus' is kinda vague especially in regards to Gudaguda events. When Ryouma was the free servant there was definitely more of a focus on Majin Alter and Chacha was hardly the main event during her introduction. Not even Kagetora was the main focus during her Gudaguda. So I feel that she got an average amount of spotlight, enough to be happy with.
0:45 considering the Servantverse also gave us an incarnated galaxy as a character, the idea of Ranmaru being an Ultimate One isn’t that farfetched. At the very least it's something good for fanfic.
The only logical reason I can see Ranmaru being so exclusive is her Avenger Class. Pretty much all the Avengers worth giving a shit about are rare either by being Story Locked or just plain Limited and they wanted Ranmaru to fall in line... kinda.
I will say that the history segments have been a great addition to your reviews. While I do miss the Meme Teams of old Fino more, this is a great way to make your guides stand out
Ranmaru:what's my purpose? Me: my space ishtar replacement due to her bond 15 status. Oh and these bugs are your ally Castoria and Oberon:hi ranmaru Ranmaru:..........
Thumbnail works for kama too In hindsight Also it's double funny considering they gave space Ishtar an extra banner this year right before ranmaru and after skama. Next year will make things even more packed
I really love the history parts, and the little anecdotes here and there. I always felt like realizing how human/relatable people in the past really were helps learning about history stick. 🥰
I think it sucks that they don't do reruns anymore. Newer players or players that have to make new accounts have no way of playing this event. If they're not going to do reruns they should at least have more accessible story requirement
For one, re-runs are THE best time to get Free Quartz from missions (main reason) Another is that re-runs usually have lower engagement (i.e. people rushing the last 2-3 days to complete) and the banners are not really rolled on. No re-run events means people HAVE to spend and not just wait till they can F2P to get their waifu and/or husbando. i.e. blame the MBA degree holding bean counters and stockholder "loyalty" for the abandonment of re-runs
@@HellecticMojoas lasagna says - they're extremely understaffed and game having old spaghetti code that makes introducing reruns = making brand new event.
Damn. Ranmaru was loyal AF, a little creepy as well..... still though I like the design. The bad thing is that she is locked behind Heian-Kyo. I completed it, but that is such a kick in the butt to new players who lucked into a Castoria.
One day you are finishing Solomon and finally glad that final fights won't be locked from you in events. Literally next day starts event completely locked from anyone who didn't finished some faraway lostbelt. WHY, LASAGNA, WHY?!
Tbh because of her I finally realise that avenger class is the most easiest to max out their skills since the most items were the ones majority of classes dont even needed 😂
Mine is sitting comfy at lvl 80, 10/10/10, 10/10/10, +1000HP, +1000ATK, bond 8 and rising... might be a BIT over the top, but I love her design and the lore of her being the Ranmaruest Ranmaru of all Ranmaru from Planet Ranmaru, just sounds awesome...
I was pretty frustrated on SIN because I had zero Avengers to deal with the emperor and the game was taunting me with a welfare one that I could only get after the fight. To make matters worse, yesterday I blazed through the event with a Morgan support and I don't think the events of 5.5 were particularly relevant to it.
One person in discussion circle suggested that Ranmaru X's gender is all because they're **Ranma**ru (like Ranma 1/2) and that just pains me to think about.
The only thing I found odd is that everyone in story stated off referring to them as “them” the second the story started instead of it being ambiguous. 8:21 - 8:35 Funny and what a dick Nobu.
It's so stupid that this event is only available after HEIAN-KYO, I didn't even start going through the prologue when I found out that I couldn't participate in this event, I had to speedrun 7 singularities in 5 days without reading the story... and i spend around 15 quartz to beat difficult fights.
Servantverse power level is as ambigous as Ranmaru's gender after all lol. They look like joke characters, but their setting and lore shows them as REALLY powerful characters.
The history sections continuing to be my favorite sections well... CONTINUE! Do you have any plans to go back and do history segments on some of your older guides? I'd love to watch them because how you read history is legit VERY entertaining.
I hope I can get her, mostly because missing a servant I’ll never get is not great. Currently in Heian Kyo after rushing Atlantis and Olympus. Hopefully by Tuesday I’ll be finished and be able to get np5.
If the devs feel generous enough, they may just drop a buff to improve her performance as a farming avenger or crit avenger, which its sad since antonio basically fills the role better, only lacking a battery. Then again, knowing the evocation system, they will drop random wellfares at random times, rarely giving buffs to them.
She still an Avenger and Masters like me who has better affinity in summon with literally all Extra Classes minus Avenger, I accept it. Plus, she is adorable don't lie to me!
Lmao. wasted 5 days straight speedrunning from Camelot to Heian-Kyo just to participate this event. wasted all of my 16 leyline stone and luckily was able to made it due to my castoria.
Well, she'll be nice for when I want to Bond grind more expensive Servants and can't spare the points to bring NP3 Space Ishtar. (Used up all my luck for life on that... Right after NP3 Nobbuvenger..... hng....)
I thought I could finally go full bond CE farm for Embers since my Spishtar is only NP1, but she BARELY loops, if even a single berserker or ass is in the lineup then it's just a straight up no. I'll just stick to NP5 Perci for embers and just hope the last wave isn't a Saber No plugsuit cos ew. Need to lvl up Arctic anyway
Anyways I know this isn’t related but I’m new to the game and con somebody tell me if any of the characters are worth pulling nor should I just save for the future?
People call "Esports" to servants that are purposely left underleveled so they can use their skills (usually only the first one) or their NP and then be killed quickly so another servant takes their place
Esports in this context means leaving a servant at level 1 so they can use their skills then die easily (Either through a taunt skill, CE or just relying on luck) and be replaced.
Liked her design at first glance, but then I heard her voice. I guess the Guda Guda content must be popular in Japan. Considering skipping the Tunguska story too, everyone says it sucks.
There's a specific reason for tunguska's story sucking and due to a reveal at the end. If you wanna wait for spoilers when the event comes soon instead of reading it saves trouble.

Even worse, LB3 and Olympus have Ruler boss and she would have been great for F2P if she wasn't locked behind Heian Kyo.
The big reason is to get people to play the story. That’s all it comes down to
well gotta force players to beat the story one way or another
You don't need loopers for the main quest, you can beat that with anything, the point is to farm the mats afterwards.
She can still do that, for new accounts having her+ habetrot free sup castoria and something else like paracelsus is crazy good.
@@JohnWick-rh1zzlucky skip button exists
While I thought she was extremely cute, her inclusion in the story was pretty random, as none of the event has any relation to the Servantverse.
Shes definitely meant to be for saber wars 3 but I'm guessing with how much dev time lb7 took up and how much dead time we have to endure the next 2 years SW3 got scrapped or postponed til god knows when

@@kylepessell1350 true true. I just thought she'd be more relevant to the story, since shes the welfare servant and all.
These histories are so fun with your flair added on. The highlight was "Holy shit you psycho, good job." I got a great laugh out of that.
Strong agree!

Salieri can finally get some rest. Go, Ambiguous Ranmaru X!

Nobbu truly lived in gudaguda mode even irl.

and people believe that?
dw did multiple reruns every year and they never complained about effort or engagement.
Interest in FGO had been waning for a while. The history bit in your video convinced me to pick it up again.
Real life Ranmaru sounds WAY more interesting than Mysterious Ranmaru X.
Damn. Ranmaru was loyal AF, a little creepy as well..... still though I like the design. The bad thing is that she is locked behind Heian-Kyo. I completed it, but that is such a kick in the butt to new players who lucked into a Castoria.

really loving the history lessons

Sorry
Tbh because of her

yeah what about bones?
@@SapoNinja9 not really hard
I love her. I fell in love with her design the moment I saw her. I love the art and the artist. I will take her to lvl120 no matter what.
Anybody else think that this is proof positive that both Nasu and the writers for FGO are just trolling their customers half the time?
Someone please animate the Nobu - Ranmaru - Kagetora sequence! This will be an epic gudaguda animation
Oh, I didn't even noticed that event requires Heian-kyo, I guess my habit of clearing actually good content (story) is finally pays off.

That history lesson of Ranmaru was brilliant. Loved it!
So you're telling me Ranmaru was essentially the ultimate Femboy?
I really like the history part, you can do it for every new Servant.
You level Ranmaru because she's a great arts looper
I level Ranmaru because I'm a Mika Pikazo simp
We are not the same
My boygirl Ranmaru hella cute
Mika pikazo supremacy!
I don't even really need her, but still leveled her up, fou'd her, and maxed her skills anyway just cause I can. Love Mika-sensei's art. 😌
As a soul who suffers kama/spishtar hell
I dont even care having kama/spishtar Walmart 😭
Would that make saleri the 99 cent store?
@@ivanbluecool the thing is, Salieri is kinda harder to get outside of class GSSR
@@ivanbluecool I only agree with this statement if he is in friend pool like gong

She's the second Avenger I ever got, so I'm bound to like her if only on that front
When I clicked on this video… I was not expecting a lore comparison to ORT.

@@lordteaIf he still has blue cubes it is a walk in the park with 0 challenge.
Another great history lesson fino!
Nice vid as always love the history parts a lot but Fino, Eresh Servant guide when? she recently got her buff so a vid is long overdue here :)
Spishtar and Summer Kiara looks at him/her, grinning, thinking they can, at least, take a short break for a while...

I've always enjoy your content but these history part make it so much better
Yeah I speed ran the Whole Heian-Kyo yesterday so I could play the event.
The fact we get avenger nito kinda hurts Ranmaru as well since she’s permanent AND has a 100% battery
I honestly wish I could have just let us keep a level 1 NP.1 Ranmaru. The S1 is decent for E-Sports memes.
Nobu waif servant potential? Maybe even have her try to use guda to make nobu jealous (to no avail obviously)
RAN RAN RAN!!!!
She still an Avenger and Masters like me who has better affinity in summon with literally all Extra Classes minus Avenger, I accept it.
Plus, she is adorable don't lie to me!
Lmao. wasted 5 days straight speedrunning from Camelot to Heian-Kyo just to participate this event. wasted all of my 16 leyline stone and luckily was able to made it due to my castoria.
Me with castorialess
Begging a super orion support
The blue cubes will expire anyway, you are better off speedruning the main quest.
@@GS_CCC Yeah. But unfortunately, now I have skipped all the story. And I'm too lazy to check archives now, lol.
Me when I couldn't even get the drive to speed run Olympus and said heian kyo. Until today. But too late ig.
Her ult need 1 more hit, i can't stand it with 95% charged after an ult
Imagine wanting a welfare 4* Avenger but couldn't get them just because you weren't far enough into the lostbelts. Couldn't be me
Well, she'll be nice for when I want to Bond grind more expensive Servants and can't spare the points to bring NP3 Space Ishtar. (Used up all my luck for life on that... Right after NP3 Nobbuvenger..... hng....)
Ranmaru's history is perhaps the gayest thing I've heard all week.
Yup 🥲
Will we be getting a Lancer Ryouma guide? I'm a sucker for a man for his dragon waifu, so I'm def here for the history lessons. 😂
Yup, I'm cooking one up.
I’ve been bond farming her, because with her bond CE, she can dump 50 stars for my Calamity Jane.
Hey Fino how about an Izo guide
She barely loop
She always stuck at 80-90%
But always 3 turns (vinci ruler, support castoria, waver) 😎
I thought I could finally go full bond CE farm for Embers since my Spishtar is only NP1, but she BARELY loops, if even a single berserker or ass is in the lineup then it's just a straight up no.
I'll just stick to NP5 Perci for embers and just hope the last wave isn't a Saber
No plugsuit cos ew. Need to lvl up Arctic anyway
All i did was login pulled lancer ryoma and logged off.
Was wondering if you can do a video talking about cu chulainn alter
Anyways I know this isn’t related but I’m new to the game and con somebody tell me if any of the characters are worth pulling nor should I just save for the future?
can someone tell me what esports mean in the context of FGO?
Thanks :
Generally means using a support servant at low level so it can die faster so u can cycle them out without the use of plugsuit
I want him but sadly i didn't finish lb6 at the event time rip
I swear the feminine looking trait only exists because blackbeard had to heal astolfo and deon because they look female enough
9:24 are you implying that ranmaru is NOT his wife?
Thanks for the vídeo
So what can she loop with just one Castoria?
I didn't appreciate the story boss mechanical spoiler about LB7 in this video, but I understand why it is something to mention in a servant video.
I can’t play the event 😢
The artist confirmed that she's a female so go ham boys she's fair game 😂
Her sword GoB alone is enough to convince me to grail her
lesson learned: either get a femboy waifu or stop tossing toenails everywhere.
Both are very challenging indeed
What’s the “esports” reference am I missing a part of the game lol
People call "Esports" to servants that are purposely left underleveled so they can use their skills (usually only the first one) or their NP and then be killed quickly so another servant takes their place
Esports in this context means leaving a servant at level 1 so they can use their skills then die easily (Either through a taunt skill, CE or just relying on luck) and be replaced.
Instant 120 once they got fully unlocked lol.
Low skills charm 2:18
Reality: loli, milf, husbando, shota be charmed by her 😂
MY Ranmaru is a cute boy
