| this doesn't really apply when u have first order, camelot, and babylonia anime to give context. the utter assload of servants from singularities 1-5 are a bit much but it doesn't really get in the way of the main plot. |

The thing is, if you want to just understand the main plot, then just read wiki or something rather than watching it. Without playing the game, you won't feel the journey that the characters went through, especially since Ritsuka is literally a self-insert MC. Watching the anime would just give you an underwhelming experience and even would straight up waste your time. It was shown in this movie's discussion that some people hate this movie because they don't understand the shit thats happening in the movie and didn't feel the hype because they skipped through the journey. The first 5 singularity might not have a big importance to the main plot, but it does wonder to Mash's characters. The growth of Mash's character from having machine like thoughts to finally understood about being human. Even in Mash's final moments, it was Drake's words that she remembers. It's not about the destination, but its about the journey. some people aren't going to be satisfied by the wiki, but they also may not want or be able to spend the time playing the game. The current average play time for fgo sits at around 160 hours just for the main story. im not sure how much of that is lostbelt and epic of remnant playtime but even if u only assume a quarter of that is part 1 you still have 40 hours of playing that is contrasted with ~14 hours of watching all the anime content currently out. KaizukaZekrom said: unless you like having fewer people to discuss something you enjoy it's usually better to present alternatives so more people can get into that thing you like. the anime adaptations also arent really failures so there's no reason to default to the game as the only way to experience the storyzapgator said: You don't need to play the game to enjoy the anime, sure it will enhance the experience but it is not mandatory. Not everybody has the time or interest to play a 200 hour mobile gacha game with lots of grinding. If you aren't committed enough to play the game then just don't watch FGO, because it would just be an underwhelming experience. |

LuckoBj said: Dude, you can understand the movie by reading something in the wiki or just seeing the prequel anime. There's no need to play a gacha game that will take like forever to get to the movie. Terrible opinion. It's like telling someone to read Sparknotes to understand a book. You're inadvertently butchering a watch experience by deciding to abridge it via the wiki. That works for some people but not in general. Solomon compared to any other Fate adaptation is especially reliant on game knowledge. You're not at all invested in the story if all you do is read the wiki or watch the anime. |

| Actually not, I've enjoyed just by the babylonia Camelot and ovas |
 |
| dont worry i still enjoyed the Fate Grand Order anime releases so far i do not care much about the complete details just good enough details like what the plot or story is about is good enough plus the usual rule of cool scenes |
| opps i guess. watched it already. |
| First 6 chapters are shit though, why waste your time reading through them. |
 |
| True! People shouldn't spoil themselves a good experience by not playing probably the best gacha game with the best story out there. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| I watched all of the fate animes before then, and I understood this anime just fine. I don't get why Fate and especially FGO fans pretend like fate animes don't exist. Movie producers obviously make animes easier for audiences not dedicated to the game otherwise they go bankrupt. This is some next level gatekeeping |

| Don't watch it nor play it at all. This story and its characters are peak garbage. |
  "I can't trust a website where csm is rated higher than hxh"- Akira Toriyama  |
| Fgo animations are clearly not made for anime-only people, that's for sure, the worst part is that they will watch the animations anyway, don't understand a thing about that and then they will give bad reviews because "i lacked context". And tbf, that's just lame of them, the first Fgo chapters are so short compared to the new ones, and you can even read resumes about them online, it's sad because Solomon is such a great adaptation, way better than other Fate movies in that regard, but well, the site is filled with these kinds of people, so i can't do anything about that |
| Visual Novels should have a place in this site, really |

The lengths people will go to not consume the franchise properly astound me to this day. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
KaizukaZekrom said: Please for the love of god, play the game first before watching this or don't even watch this movie at all. FGO adaptations are made in assumption that you already played the game and was made for fanservice purpose only. I hate how people are complaining about how the movie doesn't make sense or doesn't know what the hell is happening, well duh of course you don't, you haven't played the game. You missed the context that was given in the first 6 arcs. It's just like you watch the final season of a series without watching the previous seasons. Meh, when I played FGO. I skipped every story, yet I could understand everything and appreciate the movies. The story isn't complicated to follow. They just need to pay attention. Of course, if all else fails, there's always the wiki. The FGO story is good, but not as good as FSN, UBW, or Heaven's Feel, IMO. |
| Assumed we've played the game or simply hopeful that we've played the game? Honestly, I'm genuinely curious here. This seems like a scapegoat. An anime should be able to stand on it's own, the fact that we should have to experience something else as well, is pretty laughable. In some ways, this is a complete failure of an adaptation, cutting corners and leaving things out. Thankfully, the movie was still pretty good for an anime only perspective, though I can't say I feel much emotional connection to the story or it's multitude of characters in this telling. This could be due to a lack of info from the game, but it felt like there were some asspull moments as well lol... I think I enjoyed Babylonia the most, then probably the 2nd Camelot movie... This one probably falls under the 1st Camelot movie. |

| Yea really was kind of a mess without the background context. Sure it was self contained enough but no emotion to anything and pacing was all over the place. |
