I just realised, that I might have underestimated the popularity of Fate series or Type-Moon as whole....

Seriously I might've underestimated it's popularity, i thought it was limited some few hardcore fans. Especially the way nasu or type moon treats their other works, like mahoyo or Tsukihime, and fans go on with no updates whatsoever for years.

But, oh boy was i proven wrong, especially in these past few days.

For those who don't know apparently the final chapter of FGO part 2 was released in Japan few days ago and the hype and craze was insane, mind you this is a 10+ years old game, with nothing but old and clunky UI. On the top of devs being inconsistent with months for no contents or updates. But despite that it did not only top the playstore charts, trend on X, but people were literally taking unpaid leaves from work, or closing up shops early just to play the game. Apparently some ministers of japan, were leaving early from work just to play the game. Not to mention the day after the final epilogue was released hundreds of people really went to the tokyo station just to take a picture there, as the final place was shown in the epilogue.

This game still makes millions of dollars in profit every year, and even if the story ends (as Nasu confirmed) it's still going milked for years to come. Honestly, Nasu is 52 and imma be honest, if he decides there's no need to write any VN and plan to retire at this point there's no stopping him. If anything he might be interested in creating more different Gacha RPG games, for Type-Moon...

Perhaps after the long-awaited Mahoyo 2 or the Tsukihime sequel, Nasu or Type-Moon will finally hang up their hats and stop creating visual novels altogether...

and this also makes me realise why more and more VN devs and studios are opting for gacha RPG genre, i honestly I feel really bad that someday this genre might die, but I seriously can't blame them....

Honestly after this stunt, it just feels like more and more VN devs would be 'inspired' to just jump into the gacha genre....
