Chaldea Satellite Station is an event where we travel to three cities across the country to disseminate information about “FGO”. After the first Kyoto venue and the second Miyazaki venue, the event has finally reached its finale. We bring you an on-site report from the Niigata venue, where the event concluded.

◆On-site report on Caldea Satellite Station Niigata venue!
When we arrived a little earlier than the opening time (3:30 p.m.), the venue was already full of masters. A long line formed at the reception desk, waiting anxiously for the door to open.
There is also a merchandise corner and exhibition booths right next to the reception. After registering, the Masters went straight to the merchandise corner and enjoyed taking photos at the exhibition booth.
Exhibits include a three-dimensional event main visual, a local illustration drawn by Mr. Riyo, and a collaboration figure illustration of Pekora Usada x “FGO” drawn by Takashi Takeuchi.
What particularly caught my eye wasThis is Oberon's costume made in life size.. I knew from another report article that it had been installed at previous venues, but seeing it in person is definitely a different experience.

◆Staff talk corner where “Nama Kanou-san” was also seen!
The main content of this event is a talk stage by development and management staff and cast members.the firststaff talkWell-known members such as advertising staff Toshiyuki Kanazawa, Part 2 development director Yoshiki Kanou, and marketing director Buster Ishikura appeared, and the venue was filled with excitement.
Actually, I usually watch events via streaming, but this was my first time watching them on-site. I was quite excited to be able to see Mr. Kanazawa and Buster Ishikura live, including Mr. Kanou, a famous director who is loved by many masters.
In this staff talk, “Fate/Samurai Remnant (hereinafter referred to as Samurai Remnant)” producer Tomohiko Sho also joined the discussion, focusing on looking back at the “FGO” x “Samrem” collaboration event that had been held until the other day.
Comparing the motions of Iori Miyamoto, Takeru Yamato, and others in “FGO” and “Samurem”, what kind of coordination went into the development to reproduce the two in “FGO”, and “Samurem” staff regarding the collaboration event The Masters were also very interested in hearing that it was very well received by the students themselves.
Also, regarding the “Samrem” DLC, which is scheduled to be released sequentially within 2024,The second part is bitter and cool content.,The third installment is content typical of Koei Tecmo Games (Motoi ω-Force)There is information that it will be released, and expectations are high for future DLC.
As a local impression,The live staff talk was more relaxed than what you see on stream.The atmosphere in the venue was very frank, probably due to the four people's talk, and it was impressive that there was frequent laughter and applause.
In particular, when the in-game data ranking for “FGO” was announced, “Ranking of Servants who have reached LV 100 the most -Servants that will appear in 2023-“, they announced 5th, 4th, 3rd place, etc. What left an impression on me was the appreciative cheers that gradually got louder and louder. It's easy to understand the difference in cheers when you're there and it's interesting…! I feel like the author was also annoyed and said, “Ah!” even louder.
◆Cast talk corner where you can feel the excitement of the latest information!
After finishing the staff talk, we started the cast talk. At the Niigata venue, Haruki Ishitani (Beryl Gutto), Ayako Kawasumi (Artoria, Anne Bonny, etc.), and Aoi Yuki (Souji Okita, Douji Ibuki, etc.) appeared, and the venue became lively again. Ta.
There will be a corner looking back on recent “FGO” episodes, and “FGO Wandering Journey” where the cast will introduce famous spots in Niigata prefecture in the style of a travel report. The masters also responded, “Oh!”
When each senbei made in the senbei making experience was unveiled, Mr. Ishitani who drew Mash, Mr. Kawasumi who drew Fou-kun, and Mr. Yuki who drew the decoration on Karna's chest showed off their unique works. There was no end to the laughter from the audience. Additionally, the special rice crackers presented by the Niigata Senbei Kingdom with Beryl, Arturia, and Souji Okita on them drew cheers of “Wow!”.
And, in the second half, there is a long-awaited latest information corner. Mr. Yoshiki Kanou took the stage again and received the loudest applause of the day. I had the impression that Mr. Kanou's appearance at this timing was exciting in the broadcast, but seeing it on site was even more than I expected! A truly beloved director!
This time, including the holding of Valentine's Day Event 2024, a new servant “★5 Andromeda”, a new conceptual costume depicting Johanna, and some conversation scenes with new servants who can exchange chocolates will be released. When the new Servant was announced, the audience was buzzing with excitement.

Also, when the adventure part was released in advance, the chocolate river was not something fancy like a land of sweets, but a real river, and the interactions between the characters made people laugh. When the introduction of the adventure part is streamed, the voices of the audience are silenced, so I felt it was refreshing and thought, “This is how it was getting excited at the venue.''
