FGO Unleashes 'Squall Crisis' Rerun: Fan Frenzy Erupts as Beloved Event Returns

Popular smartphone RPG Fate/Grand Order (FGO) has announced the rerun of its limited-time event, "Rerun: Squall Crisis, The Floating Island of the Innocent Lite Version," generating significant buzz among Masters. Following the announcement of this rerun event, scheduled to kick off on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 18:00 JST, social media has been flooded with expressions of joy.

The rerun of "Squall Crisis" has been highly anticipated by many players. Comments such as "I couldn't max out the event Craft Essences back then," "I just started FGO and couldn't participate," and "My motivation was low, so I couldn't fully enjoy it" highlight the widespread desire for this event. Many users are looking forward to experiencing event content and rewards they previously missed. Notably, there's much discussion about the welfare Servant, Taikoboshikun (Taisai Seikun), with players recommending, "They're incredibly strong, so get them!" Mentions of popular characters like Lambda-Lilith, the Zheng Sisters (Consort Yu), and the adorable "Kon-chan" who appears in the event, further demonstrate its enduring popularity.

Furthermore, players still fondly recall Qin Shi Huang's "super cute scene" and other character depictions that some users found even more endearing than "Lambda-chan," indicating that this rerun will be an opportunity to re-evaluate the depth of the story and the charm of its characters. Voices praising the high quality of the scenario can also be heard, with comments like "It's my favorite scenario, second only to GudaGuda Ryoma Crisis" and "A wonderful, slightly healing event."

On the other hand, many players couldn't hide their surprise at how quickly time has passed, exclaiming, "Squall Crisis was four years ago!?" Many users reacted with disbelief, saying "You've got to be kidding me..." and "That's impossible," while also reminiscing about the past. Players who had previously voted for a rerun in past surveys shared mixed feelings of joy and surprise that their wish had been granted, commenting, "I've always wondered if it was a good idea to write that request."

Moreover, speculation is circulating about a potential connection to an upcoming Foreigner chapter, given the appearance of enemies like Dagon and the Deep Ones in the event. This rerun is thus anticipated to offer some hints about the future narrative of FGO. Both Masters who couldn't challenge the event before and those who wish to immerse themselves in past memories will likely enjoy the world of "Squall Crisis" once again.

The context

Fate/Grand Order (FGO) is a highly popular free-to-play mobile role-playing game developed by Delightworks (now Lasengle) and Aniplex, based on Type-Moon's Fate franchise. Players take on the role of a "Master" who summons powerful historical, mythological, and literary figures known as "Servants" to fight alongside them and prevent the extinction of humanity.

Limited-time events are a core part of FGO's gameplay loop, offering unique story scenarios, challenging quests, and exclusive rewards, including new Servants and Craft Essences (equippable items that grant special effects). "Reruns" are a common practice, allowing new players to experience past events they missed or giving veterans a chance to obtain missed items, fully "limit break" (max out) event Craft Essences, or simply re-experience beloved stories. A "Welfare Servant" is a free Servant acquired by completing event quests, often highly valued for their utility or unique abilities. Characters like Lambda-Lilith and the Zheng Sisters (Consort Yu) are well-known and popular Servants in the game's roster. The "Foreigner" class in FGO often involves cosmic horror and Lovecraftian elements, making the mention of Dagon and Deep Ones in connection to an upcoming chapter particularly intriguing for fans speculating on future story developments.
