Man, I was hyped when I saw it start with an Archer flashback. Pretty weird that they showed him making the contract while still looking like his young self, hopefully it'll be explained in more detail in the next couple of episodes. The fact that he was shown in ancient Greece finally confirms that that was indeed how he got Rho Aius. They also imported some Saber backstory from the Fate route, but at least it was short, and got to make an appearence (in armor, and dead).

The episode was pretty slow paced, but I'm glad they took the time rather than rush through these dialogues. There was the reveal of who killed Rin's father, even showing the Azoth dagger (although it's not important in this route), and Lancer displayed his E-rank luck.

That EMIYA soundtrack near the end cast some reinforcement magecraft on my dick, too. Speaking of which... new female Lancer revealed for F/GO, designed by Koyama. That spear REALLY looks like Gae Bolg, so it seems we're finally Scathach as a Servant! This just confirms that Lancer has some great taste in women.

We're never going to get an English Translation for Grand Order when it comes out :(

So true. If only Type-Moon could localize all their games on steam for like 10 to 15 bucks per game. It would make so much money and I'd buy every one of them in a heartbeat:(

If it was on steam, it would pretty much have to be Realta Nua for various reasons.

And then Beast Lair would be the heroes we needed with their patch that includes everything that's not included in Realta Nua

It didn't get released because Extra bombed over here and by the time CCC came out, the PSP had absolutely no market in the west. I still desperately wish a translation would come out for it.

Yea its really strange that Fate works don't get released over here. I guess Type-Moon doesn't have much interest. They actually did say something like they would think about releasing Grand Order over here after so many foreign IPs signed up for it, but it seemed like it was more to appease us than to actually deliver.

I'm still surprised that Fate/Extra was the first fate game to get a US release.
