I'm still in the process of playing FGO, I've yet to experience the peak that is the LBs so I won't so much except that yeah.....the first chapters (up until about Camelot) are pretty weak icl. While they do sometimes setup things for later that's not immediate value and value you'll only be seeing dozens to potentially hundreds of hours down the line, my biggest issue is ofc the literal like 2 year wait global has it makes waiting for things a little unbearable but tbf since FGO barely gives you pulls they do kinda need that amount of time other than that I mean cmon.....it's fate peak story for the most part after you hit LBs which are like 80% of the story and has all the nasuverse characters out there it's quite fantastic if you can stick around long enough
