I've been wondering for a while and Muramasa and Rasputin reminded me. I know the real reason why pseudo-servants exist: to bring back old characters for fanservice. But what is the reason within the story? For Divine Spirits, I get it. They can't be summoned normally so they need to use a human vessel. But why would regular heroic spirits like Zhuge Liang need Waver's body to manifest?

As far as I remember the story explanation, some Heroic spirits just don't like to manifest themselves so they use a fitting host.

There's also another explanation in that some Heroic Spirits aren't individually strong or notable enough to manifest as themselves and have to borrow a vessel with good compatibility with them. Iirc this is the case with Muramasa specifically, since he was "just" a swordsmith who normally wouldn't qualify for being a full Servant.

I said I was tempted to go for Muramasa if I got Space Ishtar early, but after doing research on her and arts looping, it seemed wiser to try to go for SpIshtar NP2 instead. And... I did it!!!! I even have 19 summon tickets left over. I took her out for a spin in the Saber Wars event and easily broke 1 million damage. And that's with SpIshtar's skills being at level 1 and Castoria at 4/5/10. Farming for those damn medals will be a cake walk now. It's really a complete game breaker.
Also got Vlad III as a bonus, he's apparently a pretty good Berserker. Now I have a 5* in every regular class. Missing the material to fully ascend him though so he'll sit at level 80 for a while. Don't think I'll need his help any time soon. This FGO year couldn't have started better. Regarding the event, I'm confused about a lot of things but it seems pretty fun... and really long. The only thing that kinda sucks is that I can't justify going for Summer Kama other than BOOBS now since she pretty much does the same thing as SpIshtar. She really does have great boobs though... Any advice for the rest of the year? I'm thinking of trying for Kiara to have a Moon Cancer and Sitonai for Alter Ego, that would fill my roster (I have MHXX for Foreigner and Himiko for Ruler). Then I should focus on broadening ST options, I mostly have Sabers so I think I'll have to pass on Bride after all since she won't add much to my roster. Will there be a SSR ticket for the Anniversary like the one I narrowly missed last year? If so, I'd probably pick Ozymandias. FGO just made it even weirder, since you've got completely fictional characters like Dantes being able to manifest just fine. But maybe there's some lore I'm missing about him since I obviously haven't played the event he first showed up in.

FInally have Muramasa, NP 1 though, not worth the NP2 farming.
And while I don't play NA the redectated Servant is said to be not as necessary as Koyans or Morgan going by YTbers. So if you need to save money, redacted is the one you can save on for the time being. Morgan is imho more important because you can make her undying using Merlin and Castoria... Also I found out: Luckily the game still gives you your Quartz when the app crashes during the transaction. Spoiler for LB7 - Fou:
I've also seen a trailer of LB6.. Is BB in there? There is a character in one of those trailers that looks suspiciously close to her.

I had no idea about that! I'm well aware who Roa is, that's really quite something.

Ok. The new year is looking good so far. Managed to keep my self control mostly intact going through these banners. And by mostly I mean that I used about 17 tickets on Space Ishtar's banner. Which miraculously worked out fine since I finally got my first copy of her. Even if I have other farming options, I just hoped to get the character. So thank goodness for that!
And the GSSR went just fine with getting Himiko. That mostly a result I hoped for just for the voice acting. Tamura Yukari is a treat that's for sure. Now can mostly get back to saving up for Melusine and some of the other characters coming in the middle of the year. Can never quite have enough with all those banners.
