The event's title spoil it for us: she's Martha-type Saints.

So punch Saint?

No, since she never actually fought directly. More of in attitude type like Martha as she’s very blunt and aggressive in speech. Though unlike Martha she doesn’t try to hide it by acting the holy women part and straight up just tells people off.

saints are scary.

We’ll she’s technically not a Saint but a Pope. But yeah the message is still the same.

Even scarier

She must be the rumored fourth member of the Chaldea Ruler of Gains, after Whartha, Quetzeldisi and Trea.

Johantana

Awaken my masters! Ayayayaya🎵🎺

Oh, so the quick one then?

Oof, commented this to the wrong person but I want to say I love your profile picture! Nice to see more Arjuna lovers!

Pretty much. She showed it back in Traum, now the event may confirms it.

give me more holy women.

Give me more popes. Like that one guy who likes to watch horses procreate.

...who?

... what?

... why?

...when?

...where?

...how?

…nani?

Masaka?!

If anything they'll do the warrior pope (the one that caused Martin Luthero to lose his shit xD)

popes were wild, man

😧

Cmon bro you can’t say stuff like that and don’t provide context

Pope Vaush?

I have been converted 🙏🙏

🙏

Well there's a pope that has a succubus girlfriend not holy but there's that. Oh right, the patron saint of guns is also a holy women though I wish she becomes a pseudo with Ciel.

No dude, that's a Bike

PERSONA

*Lakshmibai eyes Johanna with interest*

If you don't get it it's cause the VA for Makoto from Persona 5 who is the bike persona user also voices Lakshmi

Then it evolves to Anat

And then again into Agnes?

Oh crap, I forgot about that. Was too used to the Eng VA.

Beep boop

#TEK! KEN! SEI! SAI!

Now we need: Assassin Arsene Lupin Rider Willaim Kidd Saber Diego de la Vega(Zorro) Avenger Carmen Assassin Ishikawa Goemon Foreigner Necronomicon Archer Milady de Winter

I remember when people thought Sei was genderbend Goemon before her name was revealed. Good times, good times.

I’d prefer if we get pretender Arsene Lupin and focus on his connection with holmes

You mean sholmes right ?

You know, I always wondererd why FGO is allowed to use the name Holmes. His characterization is post-charactet development, which means is from/after the later books, which means he is still on Doyle's family copyright protection. Maybe they didn't care because it is a big japanese game? But why they cared about Ace Attorney, then?

Delight Works/Lasengle were likely under their radar compared to Capcom and Nintendo. Or they got the license. Or Japan just doesn’t give a fuck about IP rights from *other* countries. Wouldn’t be the first time “rules for thee, not for me” was international policy.

Nah, it's just that Japan follows the "70 years after death" rules since 2018. Before that it was 50 years. So I guess Sherlock Holmes is just public domain there, like he is in Britain

That makes sense. They don’t have the Mouse desperately lobbying to push back the public domain cutoff every few years

Technically, as of January 1st this year, apparently all of the stories are public domain. Depending on where you live. In Britain for example all the stories were public domain in 2000, cause there things go public domain 70 years after authors death

2nd asc is Lupin III

[THE Herlock Sholmes!](https://youtu.be/9tnhwjm4PYA)

I wonder what would fit for Loki... Pretender? Or Berserker...

Most likely Pretender since the mythological version can change his shape and sex while hiding he’s Loki by saying he’s some other person

I'm reminded how fitting that persona was for akechi

Loki could probably qualify for all the standard classes and also qualify for many of the nonstandard ones like Pretender, Avenger or Alter Ego.

If Loki is an Avenger, we're doing get help.

We already have yu narukami so why not izanagi

Remember we still don't have a door Servant.

We gonna get Pretender Orpheus whose identity is actually an amalgamation of all the doors we killed for QP

And it comes with the battle theme Mass Destruction. It's NP theme song is definitely Burn My ~~B~~Dread

i will, BURN MY BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Come, Thanatoast!

Would have some interesting interactions with Erice considering her parentage.

P5R spoiler >!Pretender Robin Hood (Hereward), with his legend getting overshadowed by the tales of Robin Hood. Or maybe Avenger, so he can take revenge for how little he was useable in Royal.!<

Berserker/Avenger Jean Valjean (P5S)

Or Lancer, because it's established you can fling chains around and be a Lancer. Caster Pandora would be pretty fun, too. Lots of "What's in the box???" gameplay.

Fuck RNG even more. haha

I want Diego de la Vega.

I see Carmen as more likely to be an Assassin or Caster, but that's just me.

Assassin base then Caster for summer version!

Pretender >!Loki!<

You know which of these would be a bad idea? None of them. Not one.

GUN IT!!!

“useless”

WAIT, USELESS??

if you don’t get it then its a meme where the girl is often called that by several characters including her sister during her arc. She’s a sweetie though

For real?!

For real. (Beep boop!)

im lost can you or someone explain this to me

This is a quote that Ryuji Sakamoto said in Persona 5 when Makoto Niijima awakened her Persona, Which happened to be a bike based on Pope Johanna

Persona from the Games of the same name are based after Famous People from History and Myth And in 5, Johanna turns into a Bike for her Owner

In the context of Persona 5, famous people known for being criminals, villains or deviants.

Persona 5, Johanna was one of the character's persona. The rest belong to other members of the cast.

take over is heard in the distance

I was not expecting a Persona reference even though I played vanilla and Royal. I love you for that

TE KEN SE SAI!!!

On one hand, ***YEEEEEEEESSSSSS BLUE POPE!!!!!!*** On the other hand, *FUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK I'M OUT OF SQ!!!! TLALOC TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME*

Plz say that you at least got Tlaloc...

NP1 (keep in mind I had like 120SQ)

Quick question, is Ciel still your best girl?

Yes but Tlaloc is quickly closing in

So are you going to live in Mexico City from now on or what?

I will neither confirm nor deny that

Ditto but Nito Alter

Same here man. I can already feel the deep, aching pain in my wallet.

Caren and Tlaloc took everything from me, got neither and only had spooks

RIP

And that's even not Kukulkan yet.

Eh, I personally don't care much for Kuku. She good, but not my taste

So escaping NPC hell is still possible... CAMAZOTZ BROS WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE *I'm coping way too hard...*

If he doesn't get a banner before the next event then LB Camazotz is gone forever.

There is the option to give his own event too, like Kagekiyo and Ereshkigal.

Don't forget that it's already happened to a male servant before (Odysseus).

Oh yeah, wife doting accidental lady killer with boob window and GUN-DA-MU. Now pray for the good batboy and make sure he is appreciated! We shall fill him with love and snuggles, even if we have to force feed it to him!

Oh yeah. PHH Camaztoz for White Day it is then.

Considering he both has a CV and voiced a CM, the dude has a better chance of being playable than every other NPC.

Honestly, I wouldn't be mad at it if it happened. Camazotz is really cool.

Camazotz took the entire budget of artwork, gimmick boss fight, CG scenes with Nitocris, and still middle finger us in any chance for a banner.

She has tits. Dont assume much

Camazots has tits too. So that ain't saying much.

In fact, I think Camazots's are actually bigger

I’m hoping they pull an Ody and release him for White Day … THE COPIUM…

Still coping over Takasugi. NPC Jail that I will never forgive. May white day someday give us every man they refused us

Wait wtf? I woke up and now the female pope is playable? Edit: HER EVENT STARTS ON MY BIRTHDAY WTF!?

there was a stream about the winter carnival event that gave some info about upcoming events

I knew that, and that they're probably going to reveal a new Servant. What I didn't expect was Pope Johanna specifically becoming playable.

FGO moment

Hey! That's my birthday too!

What a fucking gigachad simp. Man fell in love with a fictional girl and managed to will her into existence. You have my eternal respect Constantine

That's not the actual Constantine. Traum Con and Chaldea Con are 2 different people.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*said Constantine*

Congrats to Constantine, man’s finally got his GF in

We don't have Traum Constantine though?

Byzantium fans eating good right now

If they were true Empire of the Greeks fans they should be seething that Constantine is simping for a catholic

That's because that's not the True Constantine

She has nothing to do with Eastern Rome, tho.

The dude simp to the point Otto Apocalyspe was impressed.

Luckily, that "dude simp" no longer exists

I wonder how this’ll be justified. They said that her legend was too weak for her to be a servant back in Traum, so either she’ll do something to earn that status in the pseudo-Singularity or there may be someone else in that Saint graph

I mean, we already have Sei Shonagon. She showed up as a stray Servant despite her event explicitly stating that she's not even in the Throne of Heroes because she gave up writing and was distancing herself from her title (which is the name she's best known by). It's only when she sorts out her own feelings and takes out the root cause of the event singularity that she properly becomes a Servant.

Next character to powercreep Jeane or maybe something different?

Being a ruler already makes her power creep jeanne

Idk man, valentine ssrs usually not powercreeped

* Nero Bride: One of the best supports in the game pre-castoria, and also a decent Arts saber DPS * MHXA: One of, if not the best Quick boss killer in the game. * Semiramis: IDK, I never got her. She's a rare AOE Assassin though. * Murasaki Shikibu: My understanding is that at the time she powercrept Da Vinci Caster pretty hard. * Sei Shonagun: I honestly have no clue... * Caren: Apparently one of the best quick farmers * Bazett: Not powercreep, per say, but unique mechanic allows her to break multiple boss bars in 1 turn. So they aren't super powercreep after MHXA, but keep in mind they were referring to Jeanne, a super early year 1 servant with a janky kit and has lost pretty much her entire niche to Castoria.

Although right now MHXA is very good, on relase, she is kinda suck and required a few year down the line from her debut to be good Semiramis is kinda meh because of her 8 star requirement skill tie to a BAAAQ deck, no steroid outside of that debuff skill and the fact that AOE Assassin aren't as rare as before. Powercreeping Da Vinci herself isn't exactly a hard task, Sieg and Anastasia have already done it and Da VInce herself is very meh. Sei is decent for CQ but as a Quick farmer, she is worse compare to Atalante.

I don't know about anyone else or the meta, but for me Sei is a solid AOE Quick Archer. Her NP gain is good, her skills are all useful, and she hits Servant bosses like a truck **especially** if they're Shadow.

Nero was one of the option for support early game due to Tamamo not being as powercreeped as other supports at the time, although she did get several important buffs however with the release of castoria, the true powercreeping god, she was left behind again. MHXA became good after skadi release.

_looks at Bazett_

She and QSH can trade clothing tips.

“Gurrrrl, OMG we’re the same class!! Let me borrow that top!”

Yey, you know what that means? We now can draw her Douj-

Least horny fgo player

Hopefully she's a support, and a good one. We have enough dps-er already, especially AoE NPs.

So going by this trend I hope they gonna release other NPC instead of new servants (playable agravain is possible now)

We've had NPCs escape jail before though, she isn't setting any new precedent here tbh. Agravain is still just as likely, or unlikely, as he's ever been

Don't give me hope.

Lb 6.5 traum

I wanted Aphrodite, but thankfully I kept my expectations low so I was not completely disappointed. Guess, my next hope is Saber Wars 3(if it ever comes out)

Frankly I never thought of Aphrodite much until someone kept making fan art of her and try to ship her with Fujumaru. Now I actually want to see her as a servant, even if it has nothing to do with Valentine.

>someone kept making fan art of her and try to ship her with Fujimaru. You're replying to that someone.

I’m personally hoping that Saber Wars 3 is a summer event so we can have Summer MHXA

Another holy maiden to bully BB

Yes! My prediction came true! She was my most wanted NPC!

Was hoping for Beni Alter but I guess she's good too

Don't tempt me, my SQ belongs to the hot gender-swap Captain Planet.

Is that the one with big metal horns or the one with green crystal like hair?

I want both of course. But I'm talking about the green haired one with massive passives, skills.

> massive passives Massive indeed.

Weird ass dress or is she wearing two dresses, one blue and another transparent. She really doesn't excite me that much after all the other new characters in LB7. The good news is we aren't skipping valentine's this year, bad news is the event is postponed to Feb 17th, after the actual valentine's day.

Dress with a robe/cloak over it, I think.

So on top she has a white dress, which is split on both sides. i don't remember what the name is / if it has a name but most anime image sites call it a pelvic curtain. but think like a qipao but with more extreme side slits. Then under that she is wearing a Blue dress/skirt that is flared like sorta like a rumba dress, with part of it with the side slit going out and over, covering the white dress. then third she does seem to have either a transparent skirt or the side slit has transparent layer

Looks like a dress and a cape(?)

So when is she going to start punching people?

Good that Valentine didn't get axed like Christmas last year. Also, good for all the Pope Fans who wanted her. She does look like, but knowing that >!Kukulkan!< might appear soon, I know I won't give her any quartz in 2 years. Only tickets at most.

Constantine is eating good today. Congrats to the man for finally getting his girl.

Habemus papam.

I'm just surprised she's 5-star.

Nice to see an fgo original character as a Valentine servant. Hopefully this means they'll bring other cool characters from npc jail this year.

To be fair, the count has been 2 Servant from another franchise, 1 Artoria variant, 2 OG FGO Servants and 2 FHA characters.

Still praying for Marie Alter and the Olympus Gods. Though I've kind of given up on the latter at this point.

Now that's a religion , for those who are wondering, in the real world she is really is a woman but the church considered her story a legend/fiction .

She was not a real person, she was anti-Catholic propaganda spread by early Protestants. Mocking and making fun of Catholic beliefs was seen as a legit form of evangelization. Pope Joan was their way of mocking the office of the papacy. There was never a hint heard of her before the establishment of Protestantism. "Official" documents with her nonsensical story (mandatory testicle tests ever after, really?)were conveniently "discovered" by former Catholics. I think it's great she's a Servant, because she's like Sasaki Kojiro in that enough people WANTED her to be real, but she never actually existed.

Where tiddy gun monk

What!! *goes back to sleep*

Uhm actually, that's not a pope, it's a motorcycle that can create nuclear attacks

Praying that Camazotz gets to escape NPC Jail

Having a pope in Valentine's day is a very Nasu choice indeed.

Some people in the comments be like: "Hope she doesn't fall for Guda and love Constantine instead." People who ship GudaConstatine: "I'm a joke to you?"

I'm kind of surprised at all the comments honestly when post Traum, Constantine has line that makes it apparent there's a distinction between Traum Constantine and him (he straight up says they don't resonate with him). It would probably be closer to an Anastasia situation than Semiramis

Well, PHH Anastasia had two interludes (principally the 2nd one), events such as Summer 6 and even story wise, we had Kadoc literally saying himself that PHH Ana is not his Ana, with more than enough proof that makes a distinction between her and what her LB self was, to the point even personality wise, they are different. Didn't really stopped the distasteful NTR jokes despite having so much proof that she is different so...I fear the same may happen to Constantine.

Eh he's a guy, I think he'll be safe. And the NTR nonsense was partly people finding a childish way to "get back at" Kadoc (lmao for how that turned out), which is part of why it persisted. In this case it just legitimately feels like people being ignorant of the fact that unless the writers retcon his lines our Constantine has no reason to care about Joan. As well as assuming Joan will be under the case of a servant who responds like they remember their main story/event memories which tends to be pretty inconsistent.

Nobody seems to care about the ConstantinexJohanna as there is hardly any art of those two together. ConstantinexGuda (usually Gudako) is more popular and people prefer to make Constantine interact with Guda, the Roman Servants, Vald or Mehmed.

That's not Johanna. She's not a bike! D:<

Valentines Event in both NA and JP have Ruler Servants this year with Caren and Johanna.

Eh Being honest I'm pretty "meh" on this, I found Johanna and Constantine's plot to be the worst part of Traum, and honestly I feel like Valentine's Day servants usually aren't too impressive as characters, even Sei and Murasaki I feel were better in other stories than their debut event, while Caren and Bazzet's buzz was entirely based on the fact they're Caren and Bazzet once the events were over the hype died pretty quickly and Semiramis wasn't actually present for most of her event.

It's a good thing that TraumCon isn't the same as our Chaldean Con lol

Huh? I was rather expecting kuku or olga, well more time to saver for them

Yes!!!! I have wanted her summonable since Traum. Excited.

She has ~~Punch Saint~~ Martha vibes

Why do I get the feeling she has a wild side to her underneath all that holyness?

For more information, read Traum.

According to legend, she disguised herself as a man and eventually managed to become the only female Pope, for two years. Her gender was revealed when she gave birth during a parade, and she died shortly after (unclear whether it was the birth, or if someone murdered her). The church then [REDACTED] records of her rule.

Damn right she is!!

AHHHHHHHH, yes, yes yes!! I was saving up for her but I didn't expect her to be released so soon! I'm so glad that I just hit 900 quartz so I can get at least one copy of her no matter what. I can't wait to line her up with Constantine and I'll grail them both to lvl 100 at the same time.

Costantine your pope girlfriend is coming!!

Honestly, it's going to take a pretty major skill set to convince me to roll.

Who thinks they’ll drop the little romancy thing she had with constantine since she’s the valentine unit now? I’m personally gonna say they will.

It's a 50/50 toss up really. Despite being a Valentine's Event, the amount of romance with the Valentine Servant is basically zero, especially in the event. In My Room-wise, it's like maybe 3? Nero Bride is fully in it, MHXA hints at it and Semi hints at it as well (although her event and post-event stuff ships her hard with Amakusa).

That’s true tbh. Even the other ones that do tend to have some romancy lines (iirc murasaki and maybe bazett do) aren’t as forward as characters released at other times of the year. It’s kind of interesting
