Fate/Grand Order (フェイト/グランドオーダー, Feito/Gurando Ōdā?) is a Fate series mobile gachaWP RPG for Android and IOS, developed by LASENGLE (formerly Delightworks), published by Aniplex and licensed by TYPE-MOON. Originally released in Japan in 2015, it was a reboot of the Fate/Apocrypha project that had previously been canceled prior to 2011. The game reached China in 2016 and the United States in 2017.[1] The same year, it became the sixth highest-grossing mobile game.[2]

The game is a turn-based RPG with visual novel style story segments, bringing together the casts of the various Fate series works, other TYPE-MOON works, and many original characters with a cast of over 350 playable Servant units. Most units are drawn from a weighted lottery with in-game currency and microtransactions. The game's story has been adapted in several manga, animated movies, and animated series.

Part 1 of the main story, later given the title of Fate/Grand Order: Observer on Timeless Temple, consists of seven chapters and seven stages of humanity's history. It is part of a branching world resulting from a timeline split from before Clock Tower 2015 due to the actions of Lev Lainur Flauros. If he should end his life like in Clock Tower 2015, the world continues on normally, but Fate/Grand Order results from him not committing suicide.[3]

The story chronicles the efforts of the Chaldea Security Organization to restore the Common Sense of Man by way of excising the Holy Grails sustaining the chronological Singularities that disrupt the continuity of human history and contribute to the Human Order Incineration Protocol. This is referred to as the Grand Order -- "the greatest of the Holy Grail Wars."[4][5]

Fate Grand Order: Epic of Remnant (FGO Project 1.5) four episode story set before the start of Part 2.

The character that narrates the Trailer PV of Epic of Remnant gives that the story is to take place following the failure of the Retrogression Canal - Genesis Light-Year (逆行運河・創世光年, Gyakkou-Unga・Sousei-Kounen?) Plan (also the name of the Arc Drive used by Aozaki Aoko in Melty Blood) -- "a bit of detective-work" that serves as a prelude to the 2nd Project. The coming conflict will be premised upon a critical oversight of Chaldea in their efforts to preserve the Common Sense of Man -- "the beloved legacy of the King of Magecraft".

Episode I: Shinjuku Phantom Incident (新宿幻霊事件, Shinjuku Genrei Jiken?)

Episode II: The Woman of Agartha (アガルタの女, Agaruta no Onna?)

Fate/Grand Order is told in a visual novel style. Servants from other Fate materials or exclusive to the game are obtained at random by spending Saint Quartz (聖晶石, Seishouishi?) and other currencies in the summoning screen. The chances to draw a servant depend on its rarity, its summon limitations and periodical "rate-up" summon chances. The player also receives Servants as a reward for completing some Singularities. Kinoko Nasu said that "In Fate/Grand Order, once you get a character, you’ll immediately learn about the identity of the Servant." Each Servant has their own personal scenarios. Using a servant deepens its Bond Level (絆レベル, Kizuna Reberu?), which plays a big role in the advancement of their scenario. All story sequences can be replayed in the My Room screen.

Fate/Grand Order is a turn-based combat role-playing game. Each Servant has a set amount of Health Points and a bar that indicates the gauge for their Noble Phantasm. Players have two Servants in their party, with one Support and a maximum of three in reserve. Before battle, each servant can be assigned a Craft Essence (概念礼装, Gainen Reisou?), which provides bonus effects and a small boost to HP and attack. The total cost of the party must not exceed the maximum amount determined by the player's level, with rarer Servants and Craft Essence having a higher cost. The battles consist of a Tactical Phase and a Command Phase. After the player chooses a command, the Servants will attack. Afterwards, the enemies will attack, and that completes a turn.

During the Tactical Phase, Servants can use one of their three Skills to gain bonuses or weaken enemies. Additionally, players can also use the Master Skills of their Mystic Code to support the Servant. They can also use Command Spells for powerful effects. Unlike the Command Spells of other Fate materials, the player recovers one use per day.

During the Command Phase, the player is dealt five cards from a pool of fifteen representing the actions of the servants, and must choose three. Each card can be of type Buster (attack power), Arts (charge Noble Phantasm) or Quick (gain critical stars), and some combination of cards produce additional effects:

Using a Noble Phantasms is also represented as a card. Players should also take into account the relationship between the different classes. For example, Sabers deal extra damage to Lancers, but take extra damage from Archers, and Berserkers deal extra damage to all classes, but also take extra damage from all of them. The only neutral class is Shielder.

The process of leveling up Servants is called Servant Growth (サーヴァントの成長, Sāvanto no Seichō?), and require Embers (種火, Tanebi?) primarily gained during combat. Each Servant has four evolution stages named Ascension (霊基再臨, Reimoto Sairin?) where certain materials gained during battle must be spent before it can be grown further. Ascension also unlocks new skills and appearances for the servant. A Servant's Noble Phantasm can be powered up by spending the cards, called Saint Graph (セイントグラフ, Seinto Gurafu?), representing the same servant. The process of Palingenesis (聖杯転臨, Seihai Tenrin?) let players spend rare Holy Grails to unlock servant growth beyond their maximum level.

The game incentives players to log in daily to claim rewards, and each fight expends Action Points (APs) regained at a rate of one per five minutes, with the AP gauge expanding with the player level. The game receives regular content updates, bringing story chapters progressing the main story, and story events loosely related to the main story and more whimsical and self-referential. Events are time-limited and provide access to new quests and special features, like reward ladders or lotteries, a shop, and summoning rate-ups for servants featured in the event.

The music used in the game is composed by Keita Haga and James Harris.[6]

With the online Fate/Apocrypha game project, TYPE-MOON originally planned for a PVP-style online game that would be played on PC until its cancellation. TYPE-MOON decided the project should be rebooted, and it was codenamed as "Fate Online Project REBOOT". Although Kinoko Nasu had said that Fate/EXTRA CCC was his last time writing anything for the Fate series, it was a lie.[42] It began when the Aniplex producer Atsuhiro Iwakami wanted to make a social game to promote the Fate anime. He suggested he would take on the challenge by using the franchise; however, Takeuchi Takashi and Nasu wanted the game to be done properly by them. Prior to the development of Fate/Grand Order, Nasu claims he never had a smartphone. In fact, it was his personal goal not to get one in order to keep him from being a complete “slacker”. One day, he was gifted with a smartphone with several games such as Chain Chronicle, Brave Frontier, and others installed for references. Nasu sees the development of smartphone games as a revolution in its own way. For example, core players can enjoy the luxury of high graphics on home consoles, while smartphone games can be used to reach out to the mass audience.

The opening animation was animated by A-1 PicturesWP, directed by Ryosuke Nakamura, and the characters were designed by Mieko Hosoi. The second opening animation was animated by TROYCAWP, directed and storyboarded by Jun Nakai.

"My Lord. Once more, I shall raise this flag, for this country's---no, this world's salvation. Order has gone up in flames, and so much purpose has been lost. Our future vanished in but a second. Listen to my words, brave warriors gathered here, legion of heroic spirits who retain their reason! No matter if you were sworn enemies or no matter how far your time periods apart, now you must entrust your backs to one another! My true name is Jeanne d'Arc. In the name of my lord, I shall stand as your shield! This struggle is one that has long endured through the sands of human history. But there is no need for concern, as untold fateful encounters await you. Though this entire planet has become the battlefield of the Holy Grail War, though the world has been brought to ruin, though countless formidable foes block your path, the end has still yet to be determined by anyone. Now, let us begin our fight, Master. The curtains rise on the largest scale Holy Grail War in history. Fate/Grand Order, a story of reclaiming the future." --Jeanne d'Arc

"With the passing of the Age of Gods and the start of the Common Era, Mankind has become the most prosperous species in the world. The fate of the planet is in our hands. We are the ones who will write its epitaph. Thankfully, there is a principle that will ensure mankind's everlasting prosperity. A sea chart guiding the human race. In the world of magi, this is known as... Humanity."

神代は終わり、西暦を経て人類は地上でもっとも栄えた種となった 我らは星の行く末を定め、星に碑文を刻むもの 人類をより長く、より確かに、より強く繁栄させる為の理――人類の航海図 これを魔術世界では『人理』と呼ぶ

2015 AD. The final era, when sorcery still existed.

Society had been build by human hands, but it was magi who grasped the truth of the world. Sorcery, which governs the skills of past humans that science cannot explain, and science, which gathers the technology of future humanity that sorcery cannot reach. Though the two disciplines are absolutely incompatible, they are similar in just one respect. Whether sorcery or science, the pursuers of both seek continued prosperity. Or in other words, to protect the future of humanity.

The Chaldea Security Organization. A secret agency founded to prevent the certain extinction of the human race, by observing both the world unseen by sorcery as well as the world immeasurable by science. Researchers from every field, both magical and mundane, were gathered under a single goal: to extend the reign of human history, above all else.

1950 AD. Phenomenon Recording Cyber-Daemon "LAPLACE" completed. 1990 AD. Pseudo Global Environment Model "CHALDEAS" completed. 1999 AD. Near-Future Observation Lens "SHEBA" completed. 2004 AD. Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE" completed. 2015 AD. Spiritual Computer "TRISMEGISTUS" completed.

With one promising success after another, Chaldea was able to guarantee the security of human history for the next hundred years.

However, in 2015...

Without warning, the future that had been observed by SHIVA vanished. Through calculations, it became clear... or rather, it was proven that humanity would go extinct in 2016.

Why had this happened? How had it happened? Who was responsible? The researchers of Chaldea were plagued by questions.

But in the midst of their doubt, SHIVA observed a new anomaly. 2004 AD, Japan, a certain provincial city. An "unobservable region" that had not been there before suddenly appeared.

Assuming that this must be the cause of humanity's extinction, Chaldea decided to utilize the still-untested "sixth experiment". That is, time travel. A forbidden ritual that converts the practitioner into spirit particles and sends them into the past, allowing them to interfere with events to locate and destroy space-time singularities.

Its name is the quest for the Holy Grail: "Grand Order".

The name for those who would rise up against human history for the sake of humans, and fight fate itself.
