The X (formerly Twitter) campaign '#YourClassDiagnosis,' commemorating the 10th anniversary of the popular smartphone RPG 'Fate/Grand Order' (FGO), has become a major topic of discussion among users.

This campaign allows users to determine their most suitable FGO class (Servant classification) by answering three questions posted by the official FGO account. Its ease of participation—simply following the official account and tapping the answers to the diagnosis questions—has led many Masters to post their results on X, generating enough buzz to become a trending topic.

The posted diagnosis results have been diverse, with various classes reported, including "Pretender," "Assassin," "Alter Ego," "Berserker," "Avenger," "Beast," "Foreigner," "Archer," "Caster," "Ruler," and "Lancer."

Users have shown a variety of reactions to their diagnosis results. For example, users diagnosed as "Berserker" have expressed doubt with "Is that really me...?", while those who got "Avenger" have joyfully exclaimed, "It's the class of my favorite character!!" Posts showing surprise and humorous retorts, such as "Isn't this wrong!!!!???????" and "No way, lol," were also seen for the "Beast" result, indicating that users are experiencing a range of emotions with their diagnoses.

Furthermore, in response to the "Archer" diagnosis, some comments mentioned a common FGO fan "trope": "It's a class where quite a few archers don't actually use bows..." This shows that the diagnosis campaign is also facilitating active interaction among fans.

This campaign, which is hyping up the major milestone of FGO's 10th anniversary, can be said to have achieved significant success on social media as a project that entertains users both inside and outside the game.

The context

Fate/Grand Order (FGO) is a highly popular free-to-play mobile role-playing game developed by Delightworks and Aniplex, and published by Aniplex. Launched in 2015, the game is part of the broader Fate franchise, known for its intricate storylines and engaging characters based on historical, mythological, and literary figures. Players, known as 'Masters,' summon powerful heroic spirits called 'Servants' through a gacha system to fight enemies and save humanity.

In FGO, 'Classes' are fundamental classifications for Servants, determining their combat roles, strengths, weaknesses, and often their general demeanor or weapon type. Examples include 'Saber' (swordsmen), 'Archer' (bowmen), 'Caster' (magic users), and more unique ones like 'Berserker' (mad warriors) or 'Avenger' (vengeful spirits). The game's 10th anniversary marks a significant milestone for a mobile game, often celebrated with major in-game events and real-world promotions. X (formerly Twitter) is a widely used social media platform in Japan, making it an ideal place for such interactive campaigns to go viral.
