Fate Grand Order Anime Waifu Pillow You Should Have
Do the words Fate/Grand Order sound familiar? If you’ re remotely interested in the world of Japanese anime, manga and gaming, there’s a fat chance that you’ve heard these words – if not outright know all about what they mean.
All things said and done,the meat of the Fate/Grand Order game is the characters – both masters and servants alike. There’s a stunning cast of likeable characters, for which, there is also a lot of merchandise available online. We at Dakimakura are entirely devoted to making your fantasy into a reality; we do this by selling pillowcases featuring your favourite servants in astonishingly lifelike detail.
What is Fate/Grand Order?
Fate/Grand order is an online, free, role-playing-game, or RPG. Kinda like the famous Warcraft series. As a player, you take on the role of a Master who commands a Servant, and you get to play for the Holy Grail.
This universe is slightly different. It has a more science-fiction type of narrative where you’re a researcher in an organization called Caldea, which is aimed at preserving the future of humanity. As they are super-advanced, they’ve finally managed to create a time-traveling machine to send people at particular points in time in order to change the present for good.
Things don’t go as planned when the first bunch of mages is sent back in time – they all get wiped out. Of course, you, being the most novice mage, end up being transported all the way back to 2004, in Fuyuki city, where the battle for the Grail is in full motion. Now all you have to do is fight your way out and fix problems in the timeline to save everybody because you’re the only one who can!
Easy, right? Well, things just get more interesting.
The game’s mechanics revolve around turn-based combat. Trust us when we say that there is a LOT of combat. The way in which this combat works involves a lot of strategy, and you can’t have your way with just brute force, or a powerful servant.
You can create a deck of up to 5 servants. Two of your servants will be part of the main combat team, and the rest are like substitutes, or reserve members. The third member of your combat team will either be a friend’s – or a random online player’s servant. Now if you’re just starting out, these servants may just be extremely powerful compared to yours. So, you’ll have to figure out the leveling mechanics in order to get to their proficiency, which makes this altogether more of a challenge.
Most other online, level-based games involve you mindlessly grinding in order to increase your level. But Fate/Grand Order does away with that. This means that the servant you use the most may not be the one with the highest level. You get experience cards that are acquired through daily events and spontaneous missions with which you can power up your favourite servants. This keeps the players hooked and has them coming back again due to the random nature of these events.
Why is Fate/Grand Order so famous, though?
To assess this game’s popularity, let’s take a look at the numbers. Fate/Grand order was released in Japan on July 25, 2015. Subsequently, it also released an English version in the US, on June 25, 2017. It’s also been released in China and Korea. It already has surpassed over 12 million users in Japan and over 2 million in the USA.
It’s daily revenue estimate, according to ThinkGaming, is a staggering $2,791,747 with over 7000 installs every single day. The game makes money with microtransactions and has an in-game currency called Star Quartz. On Apple devices alone, the game makes 1.3-2 million dollars of revenue daily. It has consistently been in the top ranks for app downloads, even beating games like Pokemon Go.
Now you might just be asking: What makes this game so famous? Isn’t it like any other online RPG out there?
Well, that line of thinking would be incorrect.
Easy Access
First of all, the game is a mobile RPG. This means that is works on most smartphones that possess Android or iOS, which makes it extremely accessible.
Free Installs
Second, it’s free – you don’t have to shell out any money to acquire it. The game makes most of its money on microtransactions. An article on CriticalIndex stated that a player even bet 260,000 Yen in order to get a rare servant called Merlin – but that’s just the appeal of the characters, who in turn are a delight for the fanbase.
Fan-Service
Speaking of the fanbase, Fate/Grand Order is rooted in the extended Fate/ Universe. There are many, many other pieces of content and games that Type-Moon and other companies have released, each having met considerable success. This has created a hardcore fan-following of millions, who in turn, are drawn to the game and help in drawing yet others to it.
The game itself is a treat for fans because it features all their favourite characters and yet other, exclusive in-game characters. Since Servants are all figures from history and lore, people who are not even fans can appreciate the way in which they are represented in the game. This makes the game curiously interesting and appealing.
Music
The game is part of the Sony Music division, which has propelled sales like none other. The in-game music and voice acting for these marketable characters has actually created a great gaming experience for fans and non-fans alike, which is a rarity in itself.
Mechanics
Lastly, let’s talk about the mechanics – we’ve already explained them in brief above, but here’s why they have helped with the popularity. The mechanics of this game are extremely fluid and give the game good replay value.
Players are constantly on the lookout for new and rare servants, or just want them in their collection because they have followed this character in other media – like the anime or the books. This keeps them coming back.
The turn-based combat feature also makes the game highly strategic while keeping the app light, which is not taxing for smartphones. All visuals are highly stunning where 2D and 3D frames have been dynamically layered.
The mechanics also make sure to cater to both – for the casual player who’s looking to pass some time, or for the hardcore gamer who is investing a lot of playtime and hours into the game.
Lastly, the mechanics incorporate the powers of the characters quite stunningly – which makes each battle quite enjoyable yet strategic at the same time. This takes away the monotony of the game.
