The event features a scenario by Makoto Sanda, known for The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II. Players who complete the main quests will receive a free 4-star servant, Gray Lily, but must choose between two class versions: Saber or Lancer. The two versions have different designs, Noble Phantasms, and parameters. The event also introduces a new 5-star Alter Ego servant, Ascalaphus, available through the gacha. The story is set in a singularity styled as a job experience amusement park where characters can become the self they want to be. Gray appears in a younger form, and Director Olga Marie also becomes younger. Participation requires clearing the main story chapter \"The Beginning of Aftertime.\" The event runs until July 22. FGO is a free-to-play RPG for iOS and Android developed by TYPE-MOON, with Lasengle handling development and operations.","whyItMatters":"The choose-one-of-two welfare servant format, previously used for Mecha Eli-chan, returns for Gray Lily, giving players a permanent decision between two distinct class kits from a single event.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe event \u0026#34;Waiting for You at the End of Spring\u0026#34; was announced during the July 1 \u0026#34;Chaldea Broadcast Station Light Version\u0026#34; program. Alongside the Gray Lily welfare servant, a new costume for Demeter called \u0026#34;Atlantis Style\u0026#34; will also be implemented, depicting the goddess in her youthful days before becoming a mother. The Noble Phantasm animation for the costume was shown during the broadcast. Makoto Sanda, who wrote the Fate spin-off The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II, is handling the event scenario. According to his social media post, the event includes interactions related to the welfare servant and is finely crafted. The event\u0026#39;s amusement park setting allows characters to explore \u0026#34;what-if\u0026#34; scenarios. The Gray Lily choice mirrors the Mecha Eli-chan system from a past Halloween event, where players picked one of two class variants. The 5-star Ascalaphus (Alter Ego) is the rate-up gacha servant. The event requires clearing the main story chapter \u0026#34;The Beginning of Aftertime,\u0026#34; which was added after the conclusion of Part 2 in December 2025. FGO is available for free on iOS and Android.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"FGO's free Gray Lily forces a binary class choice between Saber and Lancer, both with distinct designs and Noble Phantasms.
