Comment of the game producer
We are very pleased to be awarded the Japan Game Award Excellence Award. I would like to express our gratitude on behalf of the development and management staff.
As an RPG, Fate/Grand Order did not do anything new in particular. It is no different from many other previous games where developers take a story that they believe is interesting and turn it into an RPG.
However, if there was one thing that was different, I think it was the drama that all the players chase one story and reach the conclusion.
The fact that that passion, that enthusiasm was in line with this era was lucky for us and we are also proud of that. We have realized this again by receiving this award.
Fate/Grand Order still does not match up to the great games that have gone before it, but being able to grow together with the users is also an advantage of smartphone games.
We will continue to work diligently to meet the expectations of the judges who seriously examined the game and of all of the users who voted.
Thank you so much for your great encouragement and great understanding!
Fate/Grand Order General Director Kinoko Nasu
