It’s a combination of having decent story and characters, waifu and legendary figures, decent gameplay, lack of crazy powercreep and nearly every servant being usable and being Fate.

Cause fuck, compare with Fire Emblem Heroes. Who will want to roll a character if you are going to have 10 copies of it to make it worthwhile and said perfect unit will be useless next batch? That will obviously turn people down. So then it won’t matter if the game has 10% chance of you to roll him because now the actual chance is 0.000001% or even less for you to make him temporerily usable in the PVP, while the 0.7% of FGO seems much more generous in comparison
Then in FGO you will have wrird situations regardless of rarity with people charmlocking the Part 1 final boss with Mata Hari (the lowest rarity female in the game) or beating difficult Challenge Quests with Spartacus. It’s like: hey, you know this legendary figure you idolized as a kid or historical figure you love so much? You can play with him. You can beat shit with him even with all the other options available. Even if you have Gilgamesh on the top there, the others aren’t useless by default.
And then no other mobage on the planet has a plot that can compete. Hell, it beats a bunch of LNs by a mile while at it. And then they will take advantage of the story to showcase this newly introducted servant in the game, wank it to hell, he will do cool shit, either help you or face you as an enemy and he will be super loyal to whoever he works for and a really nice guy and BAM! People will want to summon him. Or then there will be an event dedicated to them giving the player presents and many of the characters will participate etc. and then you get it.
Before you notice, libraries in Japan are now placing pictures of FGO servants in the stores in front of specific books because people are interested in them, Izou’s books are all sold out in bookstore, this also promotes shit further and FGO hit jackpot.
