Okay, Let's Talk About Solomon (No, Not the Wise King… Kinda)
So, we've all been there. Grinding, summoning, and crying over our lack of SSRs in Fate/Grand Order. But let's be honest, the journey to Solomon was… something.
This isn't a hate piece, I promise! It's just, well, a little bit of an "unpopular opinions" party. Grab your Saint Quartz and let's dive in.
The Build-Up Was Epic... Too Epic?
Each Singularity was a stepping stone. Facing historical figures and weird anomalies? Check. Strengthening our bond with our Servants? Double check.
But by the time we got to the Grand Temple of Time? I felt like I’d run a marathon. Then they told me to run another one.
Did anyone else feel a *tiny* bit burnt out? Just me? Okay then…
The Demon God Pillars: More Like Demon God Pestering
These guys. Seriously. Waves and waves of them. Each with their own annoying gimmicks. It felt like a never-ending boss rush.
Don't get me wrong, the difficulty was a challenge. But after a while, even my strongest Servants were giving me the "are you serious right now?" look.
Anyone else resort to command seals more times than they'd like to admit? No judgement here!
The Story: Heartbreaking, But Did It Need to Be *That* Long?
The story was genuinely good. The emotional moments hit hard. Especially the reveals about Romani Archaman. (Sniffle).
However, sometimes I felt like the plot was deliberately stretching itself thin. A little more focused pacing wouldn't have hurt, right?
I’m not saying cut out the feels! Just… maybe trim the fat a bit? It's a delicate balance, I know.
Goetia: A Worthy Final Boss... Sort Of
Goetia was terrifying. His motivations were… understandable, in a twisted way. The fight was suitably epic.
But did anyone else feel like he was a little... generic? Big bad guy wants to destroy everything? We've seen that before.
Maybe it's just me being picky, but I wanted something a little more… nuanced? Or maybe I was just tired.
The True Final Boss: Our Own Sanity
Let's be real. The real challenge of the Solomon Singularity wasn't the enemies. It was maintaining our sanity.
The constant grinding, the emotional rollercoaster, and the sheer length of it all. It was a true test of a Master's dedication.
But hey, we made it! We saved humanity! And we got to see some amazing character development along the way. So, was it all worth it? Absolutely.
So, What's the Verdict?
Solomon was a mixed bag. Epic in scope, emotionally resonant, and incredibly challenging. But also, long, repetitive, and a bit exhausting.
It's a Singularity that I both love and slightly resent. And that's okay. It’s what makes it memorable, right?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go recharge my Saint Quartz reserves. Those summer Servants aren't going to summon themselves.
