In my previous "Fate/Grand Order" post, we were looking at a possible rerun of the "Start Dash" campaign. However, no words were said about the in-game announcement card nor were there any posts about it on the official website and on their official Facebook page. It is probably safe to assume that it was just a minor error. Or is it?
Let's not dwell so much on it today because the game actually has an upcoming special campaign. Following the Nero Fest that was held between July 25 and August 3 are the Otakon 2017 Special Campaign and the Orleans Pickup Summon.

Final Thoughts
Have you stocked up on Saint Quartz to roll the gatcha?
Good for you if you have, and I feel you if you haven't. As of this writing, I only have 8 Saint Quartz in my inventory, and I don't think it's enough for me to roll Jeanne d'Arc. If you're feeling the need to purchase Saint Quartz, no one will stop you as long as you're happy.
Good luck on rolling your favorite servants and have fun! 'Til next time!
