Adding onto the Fujino being consistent, they also communicate extremely well. If they think they won't be able to release for the next month, they usually convey that message extremely early. And those breaks so far are currently at most about 2 months. The longest break Fujino had was when Fujino did the most chad move ever of fleeing to Japan (About a 4-6 month wait) just to continue developing this game and probably more in the future..

Fujino is the GOAT, that's for sure.
His work ethics and commitment to keeping people in the know-how are unparalelled in the adult dev world.
Even more to add, he is a gamechanger in the NTR genre,
and we now see many devs trying to copy NTR SAO gameplay.
Now, for those commenting on how often should he update or do stuff, STOP!
Don't try to change what already works immaculately.

So I compiled the known events in the November update releasing tomorrow.
Asuna:
- Friday IRL event (4 CGs)
- Saturday IRL event (2 CGs)
- Saturday FOG event (3 CGs)
Liz:
- Thursday Event (3 CGs) Most likely sleep raping Kirito using aphrodisiac
Sinon:
- Friday IRL event (2 CGs)
While I hope Fujino will include some battle scenes in Saturday but just won't mention it, I can't be sure. The only thing I am sure of the first preview pic is from Liz's event.
Even the picture filename: 莉兹桐人接吻 (03).png means Liz Kirito kissing (03) follows the event CG naming convention.
The other preview pic I am guessing will not part of any event and will be a text image or blog image (before the censorship).
How is everyone everyone feeling about this update? Personally my enjoyment will depend on how much of the ritual to get Yui will be in this update. If Fujino can fit in some battle scenes and a big in-game impregnation scene at the end I will ultra max happy.
The only other thing I am looking forward to is seeing if this is the moment Liz will fall out of love for Kirito and head towards Inoda if her plans to uses aphrodisiac goes wrong.

So those 4 are up in the air at the moment. I would suspect they're FOG CGs related to the initial 1st steps of the ritual.So I compiled the known events in the November update releasing tomorrow.

In terms of excitement, I'm excited to see more stuff, but overall just waiting for the bigger payoff that I hope is around December 25th. I'm not expecting battle scenes, and don't really think Fujino would have hidden away any more CGs to be announced the day of the update. The fact the report a day ago also mentions translations is that Fujino's report on CGs/Events are probably done, and that it's just a matter of translating and bug fixing at this point.
The in-game time will probably end around evening Saturday, but won't fully commit to all the events on Saturday that are planned to be done.
I don't really know what kind of in-game FOG event is going to happen to Asuna on Saturday, but it's probably something minor and/or small to do the final set up to transition into the battle update later in December.
Overall as long as Asuna gets another sex scene (because these should be more common now in FOG), then I'll be more or less tame about the update. Nothing crazy exciting, but enough for me to think it was overall ok.
I am very excited about this update but, am I the only who wants Kirito be happy and have sex with Liz and Suguha? And not being just a cuck more like other games.
Fujino just doesn't respond to everyone that often in general. It's honestly a miracle, or feels like an event when you see them respond to someone. XD
But yeah, the battle update has always been up in the air. Fujino mentioned to my comment that it was a "maybe". And that it would be the weekend. We're all assuming it's on Saturday, but Sunday is included. So we'll see what happens I guess.

You're not the only one who wants Kirito to be happy

I know, I came to that conclusion because he replied to a comment about timezones right after mine, and the same way he ignored when I replied to him about it xD

I bet that there will be a prelude on Saturday. There will be no battles, but after the update there will be a full event on Saturday and Sunday, which includes a new battle.

Who has an event on Friday in irl?So I compiled the known events in the November update releasing tomorrow.
Asuna:
- Friday IRL event (4 CGs)
- Saturday IRL event (2 CGs)
- Saturday FOG event (3 CGs)
Liz:
- Thursday Event (3 CGs) Most likely sleep raping Kirito using aphrodisiac
Sinon:

I'll probably count this time how many CGs there are, including the blog post one. But I feel like I remember a bunch of months ago more or less confirming to myself that Fujino doesn't exactly communicate 1-to-1 with the CGs/Events. I think I remember feeling like events can mean "a random amount of CGs or none at all". So the actual CG count could be overall higher. But I don't remember if I concluded this as true or not.
But yeah the 4CGs were posted on a different day, so they're probably not part of the Asuna event posted on 11/18 (at least based off what I think is going on).
Anyways, fair enough assumption.

I don't think we should wait for the conception event so soon. The scene in the temple from the last update was more like an announcement for the next few updates. I think that the pregnancy event will be next game week, and maybe later.
Another point that for some reason only now came to my mind is that the wedding ring is very well highlighted on Asuna's selfie. Every time we see a ring on Asuna's finger in this game, it means it's a cheating scene.
Perhaps this update will be short and passable for something more in the future and we will see both the battle scene and the pregnancy ritual on game Sunday. But I'm just too lazy to think about it anymore. I've cleared my mind and am just waiting for tomorrow's update.

Does the ring really have that role? Doesn't she always wear it?Thank you for such an informative post. I have a few thoughts.

Either come back, or it will be sex in a video chat, which the insidious Inoda will record, then censor and post on the blog. And Kirito, as usual, does not recognize the body of the girl he has been dating for several years and will remain silent, and then forget altogether when he leaves the blog.

I would not use the ring as meaning anything. That is the promise ring with Kirito and she is always wearing it. It is just she gets so many scenes with Inoda you notice it more. My personal theory is eventually Asuna will get something from Inoda to replace that ring. Sort of like Kyouko's chocker. But for now it is part of her everyday accessory so it should mean nothing when she wears it.
But I do agree this is a cheating scene.
