Fate managed to achieve two huge milestones this month.

1.) Fate/Grand Order was the #1 top grossing mobile game worldwide.

2.) In Japan specifically, the game dethroned Monster Strike to become the #1 grossing game for the month. Monster Strike had held that position since May 2015.

Worldwide:

Japan:

This game is still not officially available in EU, just NA outside of Asia. Strange

 

[Lonely1]

How much money does it takes all the Saber Waifu variants!?

 

[Nightengale]

Super Whales

 

[Brazil]

Boring game, though. Terrible lack of content.

 

[Jigorath]

Damn.

This game must make millions per day.

 

[Kyuur]

People love Saber clones.

Sad to see PAD not even charting in NA.

 

[Nightengale]

What's funny is that the game isn't even hitting its stride yet.

Chances are the game will have a another big push once FGO 2.0 is coming to drive more newcomers to the series.

 

[NSESN]

I wonder where FEH is. IS gives a lot of free orbs so even whales don't spend much.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Fate sucks!!!!!!

 

[ggx2ac]

That's pretty big.

Kudos to Aniplex.

It was #10 in Japan back in May, but we don't get anything past the top 10 for monthly, so we haven't seen it since.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I keep forgetting Sony owns Aniplex.

 

[Qwark]

It's crazy that Monster Strike is so big in Japan, meanwhile it failed in NA.

 

[TalonJH]

This thread got me to download the game. I hadn't realised it was out in NA.

 

[patapuf]

All of the money.

The MT's are really expensive and the drop rates really low.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

How much roughly does #1 gross a month?

 

[pharmboy044]

I'm unfamiliar with this. Is this part of Sony's initiative to move towards the mobile market or is this something completely different?

 

[Semblance]

Gacha is bad civilization.

This is from Aniplex which is owned by Sony Music Entertainment Japan so it is not related at all to Forwardworks which was made for what you are referring to.

Different. Aniplex is owned by Sony music I think.

It was #10 in Japan back in May, but we don't get anything past the top 10 for monthly, so we haven't seen it since.

Wasn't there news about it making as much as the main games monthly?

 

[hanspampel]

*excluding Chinese third party Android stores
but still fair enough and a huge accomplishment

At the current rate I feel shaky about F/GO in NA.....

 

[Nirolak]

It makes about $500K a day, so ~$15 million a month: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1408707

It's a lot of money, and is nigh assuredly the highest grossing Fire Emblem game already, but not quite as much as a retail release per month.

but still fair enough and a huge accomplishment

Yes, this is true. It's plausible that Honor of Kings is actually #1.

Please use 1% of the mountain piles of cash you've made from this game to fund Tsukihime remake, Type-Moon.

Every dollar from this goes that goes into the funding of Tsukihime remake delays the remake by just one more day.

 

[Lain]

I'm always glad to see Fate stuff doing well.

 

[SliceSabre]

I gotta have my Fate waifus.


That said I'll never spend a red cent on this game those quartz prices are a rip off.

Not in our lifetime friend.

 

[Sciel]

I'm guessing this was the effect of the JP Swimsuit events. Swimsuit waifu powa.

 

[Quonny]

Great game. You can totally play it as a F2P player and clear 99% of the content. Deserved.

now pls na content now pls now

This is from Aniplex which is owned by Sony Music Entertainment Japan so it is not related at all to Forwardworks which was made for what you are referring to.

Btw, PlayStation (SCEI) as a company, was a joint venture between Sony Corp. and Sony Music. And even now Sony Music Japan and SIEJA are very close to each other.

I'm unfamiliar with this. Is this part of Sony's initiative to move towards the mobile market or is this something completely different?

That's ForwardWorks. They released one title so far – Minna no Golf about 1.5-2 months ago (only available in Japan, atm). It's #27 on Google Play and #36 on iOS in top grossing chart.

 

[sandpiper]

I'm going to buy quartz for only two major events: when the Kara no Kyoukai event hits for Void Shiki, and for Ozymandias. At least, I think so.

Game is a great little time waster. I am really looking forward to when Nasu comes back to write story mode at the Camelot chapter.

In fact, my main reason for playing is story, although it hasn't REALLY gotten going yet.

 

[Pureauthor]

They just had their swimsuit event this last month.

So, yes, the power of waifus is strong.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Yaaaay I've contributed to that.

 

[Ally of Justice]

Good, now release it officially worldwide instead of just NA.

 

[Aters]

Dat swimsuit event

 

[Kenai]

It was swimsuits.

Game is fun in NA but they are emulating the first 6 months of the JP launch so it's gonna be a bit boring til Halloween and Okeanos get here. I can only farm so much with the current dailies/drop rates.

 

[ExtinctionEvent]

Damn, never knew it was that popular.

 

[Khrysler Jerikho]

Swimsuit Nero too stronk

 

[Deadly]

The whales in this are pretty crazy. I have someone on my friends list that has NP5 for Sakata Kintoki, Saber Alter, Gilgamesh, Waver, and Lancelot. Add to that this is peanuts compared to the guy that had every 5* at NP5, in the JP version at that.

 

[Pureauthor]

Good, now release it officially worldwide instead of just NA.

You can just download it directly off QooAPP or APKPure no matter where you live.

 

[Pejo]

I play the game several times a day, and I can't even explain what the hook is, if not for the Fate universe. I guess everyone loves the idea of gender swapped mythological and historical characters. It really is a slow ass boring game right now, too.

Well, the Japan launch was way worse than our launch at least. Constant maintenance, no AP overflow (so if you hit AP cap it ain't going over that), buying Second Archive space, way shittier animations for some characters (we got a few of the animation updates), 4 SQ per roll/40 SQ per 10 roll, no animation speed increases (the 2x speed thing) et cetera.

NA will get better and better as it implements the chronological content updates but QOL wise it's at least better than the JP launch.

 

[mao2]

So cute!

 

[tolkir]

Damn, I hope it isn't due to Fate/Apocrypha anime because it's terrible. Worst Fate anime since forever.

 

[HStallion]

Interesting to see. I know Sony had some big games in the mobile space but the #1 world wide is really impressive considering the competition out there. Seems Sony is doing pretty well on all fronts in the gaming world from consoles to mobile.

 

[Pureauthor]

You have it the other way around. F/GO's insane success is what started a mass greenlighting of all sorts of Fate-related projects.
