More than anything that sounds like the power of EX-Luck, or whaling. Maybe both.
More of having time on my side. I’ve only whaled for like...maybe 3 character(Summer BB, Lostbelt Illya and Eresh) before stopping. I think I spent about...somewhere around 700$ in a total about 3-5 months? But that was when I got really into FGO(when the lostbelts came out) and when I really wanted to support the game.
Funny enough, the characters I tried to whale for I got from tickets, save for Ereshkigel(who I got two of from a pull.) She costed the most and when I finally decided I had a problem and stopped.
Every other character I got from free saint quartz and tickets. I’ve been with FGO since day one, the day when they launched then failed, and had to fire and rehire a bunch of new employees.
Would still say luck was with you. In my case over here, starting later (one year and some), I'm pretty far from having all the SSRs. Even doubling my SSRs I wouldn't be close, so it wouldn't matter much if I had started from the beginning.
I, hm. I am happy, but I do dread what will happen with the game now that it's stepped on this. People want ever more, and now that they gave out an SSR... Well. It's good I stepped out of most communities.
I just realized what Amagi was saying, the Carrier divisions are always a pair, Akagi and Kaga, Hiryuu and Soryuu, Shokaku an Zuikaku. No wonder Akagi-chan doesn't know how her rigging works, she needs a Kaga-chan to synergize with.
