Fate/Grand Order

Fate/Grand Order (フェイト/グランドオーダー) is a mobile “gacha” RPG game for Android and IOS, developed by Delightworks, published by Aniplex and licensed by TYPE-MOON.

Conceived as "Fate Online Project Reboot", the reboot of the original Fate/Apocrypha project that eventually became a novel series, Grand Order is a turn-based RPG with strong storytelling and “gacha” elements—the 240+ characters usable in combat being drawn from a weighted lottery with in-game currency and microtransactions.

Originally released in Japan in 2015, the game reached China in 2016 and the United States in 2017. The same year, it became the sixth highest-grossing mobile game, and has gathered a large community. The game's story is being adapted in several manga, animated movies and animated series.

Observer on Timeless Temple (Part 1)
The main story of Part 1, later given the title of Fate/Grand Order: Observer on Timeless Temple, consists of seven chapters and seven stages of humanity's history. It is part of a branching world resulting from a timeline split from before Clock Tower 2015 due to the actions of Lev Lainur Flauros. If he should end his life like in Clock Tower 2015, the world continues on normally, but Fate/Grand Order results from him not committing suicide.

The story chronicles the efforts of the Chaldea Security Organization to restore the Common Sense of Man by way of excising the Holy Grails sustaining the chronological Singularities that disrupt the continuity of human history and contribute to the Human Order Incineration Protocol. This is referred to as the Grand Order -- "the greatest of the Holy Grail Wars."

Epic of Remnant (Part 1.5)
Fate Grand Order: Epic of Remnant (FGO Project 1.5) four episode story set before the start of Part 2.

The coming conflict will be premised upon a critical oversight of Chaldea in their efforts to preserve the Common Sense of Man -- "the beloved legacy of the King of Magecraft" (魔術王が残した愛すべき"残り物").

Servant List



 * Breakdown by series

Gameplay
Fate/Grand Order is told in a visual novel style. Servants are obtained through "Saint Quartz". The player also receives Servants as a reward for completeing some Singularities. Kinoko Nasu said that "In Fate/Grand Order, once you get a character, you’ll immediately learn about the identity of the Servant." Each Servants has their own personal scenarios. Deepening your bond with them will also play a big role in the advancement of their scenario.

Fate/Grand Order is a turn-based combat role-playing game. Each Servant has a set amount of Health Points and a bar that indicates the gauge for their Noble Phantasm. Noble Phantasm can be leveled up by using duplicate cards. Players have two Servants in their party, with one Support and a maximum of three in reserve. The battles consist of a Tactical Phase and a Command Phase. After the player chooses a command, the Servants will attack. Afterwards, the enemies will attack, and that completes a turn.

During the Tactical Phase, Servants can use their Skills, which are learned through experience or from deepening their bond with the players. Additionally, players can also use their own Skills to support the Servants.


 * Arts Chain (アーツチェイン) - Increases the rate the NP (Noble Phantasm) gauge fills up, which allows Servants to use their Noble Phantasm.
 * Buster Chain (バスターチェイン) - Vastly increases the attacking power of the Servants, which allows them to do much more damage than regular attacks.
 * Quick Chain (クイックチェイン) - Increases the number of Critical Stars obtained this turn, which causes some of the next turn’s attacks to have a chance to be critical hits.
 * Brave Chain (ブレイブチェイン) - Performs an extra attack that acts as all three attack types.

The process of leveling up Servants is called Servant Growth (サーヴァントの成長). Servant could be powered up by combining cards called Saint Graph (セイントグラフ). Servants has four evolution stages which affect the Servant's appearance.

Development
With the online Fate/Apocrypha game project, Type-Moon originally planned for a PvP-style online game that would be played on PC until its cancellation. Type-Moon decided the project should be rebooted, and it was codenamed as "Fate Online Project REBOOT". Although Kinoko Nasu had said that Fate/Extra CCC was his last time writing anything for the Fate series, it was a lie. It began when the Aniplex producer Atsuhiro Iwakami wanted to make a social game to promote the Fate anime. He suggested he would take on the challenge by using the franchise; however, Takeuchi Takashi and Nasu wanted the game to be done properly by them. Prior to the development of Fate/Grand Order, Nasu claims he never had a smartphone. In fact, it was his personal goal not to get one in order to keep him from being a complete “slacker”. One day, he was gifted with a smartphone with several games such as Chain Chronicle, Brave Frontier, and others installed for references. Nasu sees the development of smartphone games as a revolution in its own way. For example, core players can enjoy the luxury of high graphics on home consoles, while smartphone games can be used to reach out to the mass audience.

The opening animation was animated by, directed by Ryosuke Nakamura, and the characters were designed by Mieko Hosoi.
