Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The seven-day closed beta test of FGO ended amidst cries of despair.

On the night the test server was shut down, the FGO-focused sections of major gaming forums were buzzing.

The screen is filled with posts on the same topic.

"Land of Light, please, please release the official server soon."

A player posted a long post on the NGA forum titled "Looking at the copywriting industrialization capabilities of the Land of Light from FGO".

Let's analyze the plot structure starting from the prologue in Fuyuki City.

The final conclusion is...

"The closed beta test made me lose both Saber and Jeanne d'Arc, and I don't think I'll ever be happy again."

The most upvoted comment below is:

"So all that analysis you did was to say you pulled the King, right? I'm so jealous! I tested for seven days and didn't get a single five-star, but I still want the official server to open it soon."

In fact, the popularity of this closed beta test far exceeded the expectations of the Land of Light Studio.

The number of test slots was set at 10.

Based on experience, 10 slots for the initial test of a game is already considered a rather bold number.

After all, many major companies only release 30,000 to 50,000 copies of their annual flagship mobile games in their first test.

As a result, the number of reservations exceeded 80 on the day the channel opened.

Su Xiaoran urgently sought advice from Yang Qian.

Ultimately, the number of test slots was increased to 180,000.

But these 180,000 places are only a small part of the iceberg.

Domestic players who failed to secure a test qualification are already complaining enough.

Overseas players, on the other hand, expressed their demands in a more primal way.

They simply bypassed the wall.

Japan's largest FATE fan forum, "TYPE-MOON," created a pinned thread specifically for the testing period.

Summary of login methods for the FGO China test server.

It contains a complete tutorial in detail, from registration and real-name authentication to VPN selection.

Each step is accompanied by screenshots and Chinese translations.

The poster is a Japanese player with the ID "Saber for life".

He wrote a paragraph at the beginning of the tutorial, which roughly translates to:

"I know it's wrong to use a VPN to play games from other countries, but I can't stand by and watch Chinese players use their characters to summon my king in the game while I can only watch.

If this is a sin, I am willing to bear it.

This post received over 300,000 views and more than 10,000 comments during the testing period.

Some people are thanking the original poster for the tutorial, some are discussing which VPN has the lowest latency, and some are posting screenshots of themselves pulling a five-star Servant in the game with a long string of exclamation marks.

Some cautiously asked, "With so many of us using VPNs to play on the Chinese server, will the official team ban our IPs?"

Someone replied below: "You think they don't know that overseas IPs are using VPNs? They just don't care."

That reply is correct.

The Land of Light's technical team discovered abnormal overseas IP access traffic on the second day of testing.

The technical lead sent Yang Qian a message to report the situation.

Yang Qian replied with three words: "Understood."

The audience for the FATE IP has never been limited by nationality.

When Fate/Zero was first broadcast overseas.

Iskandar the Conqueror's line, "My journey is to the stars," has ignited the passion of countless overseas viewers.

The tragic ending of Artoria in the final episode broke the hearts of British netizens.

These fans have just as much affection for the FATE series as domestic players.

They're willing to bypass the Great Firewall to play a closed beta test that hasn't even officially launched yet; their enthusiasm shouldn't be stifled by a wall.

Of course, there is also a more practical reason.

Yang Qian is not worried about overseas players taking away her revenue.

During the closed beta test, all recharge channels were closed to the public, so players had nowhere to spend money if they wanted to.

When the official server launches, it will naturally be rolled out simultaneously on overseas channels.

By then, whether or not you use a VPN will not affect the final business data.

If that's the case, why be the bad guy?

Anyway... he's already made arrangements at the provincial level.

After the closed beta test ended, the calls for the official release online never stopped.

Every time the official Weibo account of the Land of Light posts an update.

Regardless of the content, the top comments section is always filled with the same question: "When will the official FGO server be released?"

The official Weibo account posted after-sales follow-up data for the Light Country air conditioner in the comments section.

"I've bought the air conditioner, when will FGO be released?"

The official Weibo account posted a message announcing that the viewership ratings for the third part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" had reached a new high. The comments section read:

"Congratulations! So when will FGO be released?"

But Yang Qian wasn't in a hurry.

"I'll wait for the official release; I want to release an anime series first."

"What episode?"

Su Xiaoran asked subconsciously.

She thought Director Yang was referring to the FGO collaboration promotional animation.

Or perhaps it's a project that's been in the works for a long time that's finally been put on the schedule.

Yang Qian leaned back in her chair and said three words.

"..."Angel Beats!"."

The name "Angel Beats!"...

It sounds like an idol anime.

Angel Beats? A teen idol drama?

When did Director Yang become interested in this kind of subject matter?

"Director Yang, what's this about?"

Su Xiaoran asked tentatively.

"A very good, healing anime."

Yang Qian said, "It's a story about teenagers who encounter a girl named Angel in the afterlife, and how they take up arms to rebel against the fate of the gods and search for the meaning of life."

Su Xiaoran was silent for a moment, then asked only one question: "How depressing?"

"It's alright, it's like... everyone's died once."

"Alright."

Su Xiaoran put away the schedule on the tablet.

Having been by Yang Qian's side for so long, she has figured out some patterns in his creative rhythm.

Every time this person finishes giving the audience something sweet or doing something meaningful, they will inevitably use an anime series to hurt the audience.

"However, Director Yang, if FGO is delayed any longer, the whales might cause trouble."

"Let them make a scene."

Yang Qian put her pen on the table. "They'll stop causing trouble after we finish watching 'Angel Beats!'."

"They will cry."

"Then I'll open a collaboration gacha banner. Do you think they'll pull for it?"

When the official Weibo account of the Land of Light posted a new update.

Netizens clicked in expecting to see the official release of FGO.

The announcement was very brief.

The latest original TV anime from Studio Land of Light, "Angel Beats!", has been officially announced.

Below is a visual poster.

Under a light blue sky, a girl with long silver-white hair stands with her back to the camera, a pair of white wings unfurling behind her.

The tagline in the upper left corner of the poster reads: "Welcome to the immortal youth."

Comment area

"No way?? Where's FGO?? I've waited so long and this is what you show me??"

"Land of Light: Didn't you want something new? Here, new anime, open your mouth."

"Wait, wait, wait... an immortal youth? That's an interesting premise!"

"Ah Guang's products are always top-notch, but this description looks a little... ominous?"

"Let's analyze this calmly: The Land of Light's recent style is like air conditioning bringing coolness + FGO bringing happiness."

According to Ah-Guang's creative pattern, it's time to send something else.

"It's not like we haven't watched Hikaru's anime before; our hearts are made of iron. Come on!"
