Secret Holy Grail Wars

Fate/Grand Order had a big New Year’s event online event to celebrate the first few months of the game’s release as well as lay out some future developments. But the biggest piece of news was also probably the one that was equally vague. Fate/Grand Order was going to do a collaboration event in February. They did not announce what property they were doing the corssover with but speculation is running rampant. I see a lot of people predicting it will be a crossover with Kantai Collection especially after the 2014 April Fools video with Nero and Tamamo no Mae. But truth be told I know more about Love Live! than I know about KanColle and I know next to nothing about Love Live!

Therefore I thought it would be fun to imagine what Servants would be added to Fate/Grand Order if they crossover with other properties I do know really well. Theoretically the crossovers could be nothing more than some throw away Craft Essence power-ups that don’t do much more than add a little cross promotional art to the game. New servants on the other hand would really shake things up and be memorable. Plus it is more fun to write about that the more mundane reality that is far more likely to happen.

Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup: The Wrong Van Hohenheim

This Saturday post is the weekly Type-Moon news in addition to the regular APB post on Sunday. If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup drop me a line via email or Twitter.

  • London Calling
    Quite a bit was added with the London chapter of Fate/Grand Order. It is nice to see Kairi Sisigou in the game sadly he is on a very mediocre card.
  • Maid in England
    More about the London Chapter of Fate/Grand Order.
  • Jack the Stripper Stalks the Streets
    If you just want the London Chapter commercial.
  • Typewriters on the Moon
    While Nasu may continue to hint that he wants to do a third Fate/Extra game fan will have to make due with these new Fate/EXTRA MOON LOG: TYPEWRITER books.
  • Glastonbury Revisited
    So many wonderful things to buy at Comiket 89.
  • Like Father Like Son
    Of course Mordred’s introduction to Fate/Grand Order sparked a good deal of comics on Twitter. (Oddly enough most of them seem to center around Lily Saber not traditional Saber.)
  • No Mapo Tofu?
    You figure it would be nothing but Mapo Tofu to celebrate the birthday of Kirei Kotomine.
  • IMHO It is Only a Matter of Time
    I saw these pictures of Arcueid Brunestud in Fate/Grand Order going around the Internet for a while. I don’t think anyone was accidentally fooled but I do think it shows how much people really want this to be the case.
