More or less done, create a copy to use the checklists yourself.

Ver. 1.0.3 with Apprentice (available by default, easier than Sword Novice), Fatal Sword (available in NG+, harder than Sword Demon), and Battle Recollections with other Servants went live at 12.21.23 7:32 CST. It put me to 88% Digressions?! [Patched in Ver. 1.1.3.]

They later released a demo for this game, but it defaults to Apprentice difficulty and only goes up to a certain section of the Prologue, the very first night that ends with Saber and Lancer dueling it out. Save data does transfer.

tl;dr Do Todoroki + Rat Route in 1st playthrough.

Kawasaki Daishi + Snake Route in 2nd playthrough. Keep a Ch. 4 save before the Rat/Snake choice if you just want 100% in 2 playthroughs. Do 3 playthroughs for all Battle Recollections on your 4th playthrough, then continue playing it to increase your max MAT (1381 > 1506).

Collectibles and shop stock seemingly refreshes each chapter, so buy what you need (Steel Mallets from Nihonbanshi, Tamanawa, Koishikawa & Mahitotsu Mallets from Boss Ch. 4+) and get the blue collectibles (Priceless) in particular.

Especially pick up the Priceless locations in Final Chapter and savescum the General Store RNG mountings for 4* variants.

When you unlock Buddha Carving, you need to hoard 2 ~ 4 of them for Workshop Renovations and 1 Great Hero Statue for Rogue Rider's Digression.

The game will let you know when Digressions will be unavailable, when their name is in red text, and progressing the story any further will remove their accessibility.

Winning the Rogue Berserker fight in "The Guardian of Yoshiwara" can wait until you get Wind Stance at the beginning of Chapter 2. Last chance to win is before "Return home." during Ch. 2, "A Western Wind Blows into Port", after Shinagawa's events.

When you get to Akasaka, there's 4 things you can miss until NG+ due its limited access in specifically Chapter 2 ("An Exchange of Vows") and before completing "Seek the Heroes That Survive" in Chapter 3 (Head to Koishikawa).

1. The Key Location at the Chinese Residence. Mash R3 (press in right analog stick) for a spot you can interact with, right under the gate leading south from your starting position, Zheng Chenggong, and Archer.

2. All 6 Local Trials. You need all 19 visited and done with for a commission. The bulletin board isn't far south from where you enter.

3. Purchasing the 4 dine-in foods exclusive to the 2 food stalls here: Grilled Matsutake, Hanamaki Soba, Mochi Soup, Tanuki Soup. You don't need empty HP/Affinity/Valor to buy them, and you'll get a ✔️ next to it to let you know you got one.

4. Buying something from the General Store. There's a commission to buy something from all 12 general stores.

5. Kawaraban 11 (XI) is found in Akasaka. There's a commission to collect all 23 of them.

You need to eat from all 26 food stalls and eat all 69 unique dine-in foods for two separate commissions.

In Chapter 2, when you return home, talk to Gramps for him to recognize Lancer.

Kawaraban 13: Akasaka (XIII) is actually found in Zojo-ji.

Rokugo Ohashi: I missed the Heiken-ji terminology on my first playthrough, talked to the NPC near the west food stall on the left and Iori commented on it.

I forgot Kanagawa Port had a General Store, does that count instead of Koishikawa's? Access gets removed later on too. So 13/12 Edo merchants???

Revisiting Kanagawa Port can get you the Gongenyama Castle entry in your logbook.

In Chapter 3, check out shops before, "My Mind Bides on the Battlefield" & Practice in the training grounds. Can't enter Akasaka? You'll be story locked for a bit afterwards.

It's only during "Seek the Heroes That Survive" where you can access all the shops again. Last chance for 11 Rogue Berserker skills and the Akasaka related stuff.

During All-Consuming Flames of Anguish, head to the southwest NPC for Harabuto Mochi x3 and northwest encounter for a Purple Wrap (3*, TEC +92, Damage Up vs Servants +57, Valor Strike Up +49, Blinding Reflexes +53).

Rogue Berserker will be briefly available in Chapter 3 after his third Digression, afterwards permanently unavailable and leaves in Ch. 4.

You need to get 11 skills learned on Rogue Berserker for Iori's Earth Stance tree, so you can miss out until NG+. He need 60 skill points to max out his own skill tree at Lv. 100, but completing his skill tree gives Iori ATK +20.

When you get to Ch. 3, choose Todoroki. This is for narrative reasons (Rat Route for NG+ Digressions, Snake Route for NG+ True Ending) and to get Rogue Saber's Digression in your first playthrough (so you can use his NP during the Ch. 1 & 4 fight in NG+).

When you get to Ch. 4, choose Fight Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro (Rat Route). That's the other criteria for Rogue Saber's Digression, and recruits him into your party during "To Strike at the Root of Evil" (?).

Last chance to grind Rogue Saber is before you "Confront Yui Shosetsu at Senso-ji." during "Courage of One's Convictions". When you head to the designated point in Asakusa and complete the battles ahead, he'll permanently leave after "Reject Not Thunder's Embrace".

You need to get 11 skills learned on him for Iori's Water Stance tree, you can miss out until NG+. He needs 40 skill points to max out his own skill tree at Lv. 100, but completing his skill tree gives Iori ATK +20.

If you want to grind EXP, Battle Recollections > Reminiscence: Vile Serpent is 4515 EXP (5418 on exclusively Iori with 1.2x Quality Polishing Powder) and can done rather quickly with Void/Fire (& Wind) Stance + Rogue Rider's "Malediction, Bright Sunshine" & Saber's "Raindrops".

In Kanda, there's Mori Souken's Notes from the northern cliff you use Saber to jump to.

In Rat Route, Rogue Assassin is recruited in Chapter 5 after you beat him in Kanda (get 50 human KOs NOW) then is temporarily unavailable when you return to Asakusa but returns again after you beat Yui Shousetsu.

You'll need 11 skills learned on him for Iori's Void Stance tree. He needs 55 skill points to max out his own tree at Lv. 100, but I didn't get his or Rogue Archer's Digressions in my first playthrough.

In the final chapter, exit out of Iori's home for Rogue Saber's final digression. Grab the Asakusa Senso-ji Key Location as well (the plaza where you confronted Yui Shousetsu), if you didn't do it before Musashi's duel.

Due to Rogue Saber's annoying requirements & availability, you may want to do Kawasaki Daishi + Snake Route first and save Todoroki + Rat Route for NG+ so you'll be able to max out his skill tree naturally than grinding excessively on your first playthrough like I did.

But when I entered NG+, I had all 7 Recruited Servants accessible at the start of Chapter 2 with the Book of Resolutions skill point reset item. So not doing Rat Route 1st means you get Water Stance's better dodge much later on NG+'s Sword Demon difficulty...

Rogue Berserker become unavailable when I entered Kanagawa Port in Ch. 3 "...And Into the Fire". I lost Rogue Rider mid fight, and all 5 of them (Rogue Berserker/Lancer/Archer/Rider/Assassin) were unavailable by the start of "Seek the Heroes That Survive".

After talking to the Boss at Babyloni-ya, then Rogue Berserker becomes available again with his third Digression "A Foreign Fighter in Asakusa." This is your last chance to get his skill tree complete, while Yoshiwara commissions unlock now.

When you head to Koishikawa in "Seek the Heroes That Survive", that'll lock you into story stuff where Rogue Berserker is inacessible again. Then in Ch. 4 NG+, he leaves your party still during "Dusky Plots Divulged" in Ueno.

When you enter Chapter 5 in NG+, the 4 Rogues will return as available. So will Rogue Assassin. Rogue Saber in NG+ hasn't left my party yet when he joined in Ch. 2, all the way up to "Confront Yui Shosetsu at Senso-ji." during Courage of One's Convictions."

Even after clearing "Reject Not Thunder's Embrace" in NG+ Snake Route, Rogue Saber hasn't left my party. Dorothea Coyett helps out instead so he doesn't sacrifice himself. He's still there during Final Chapter: A Ray of Light, especially the Spirit Font Conflict where you can deploy the other 5.

In NG+, you'll want to keep saves at certain decisions to do things in a certain order to minimize your number of playthroughs.

1. Ch. 3, choose Kawasaki Daishi.

2. Ch. 4, keep a save here. Pursue Assassin (Snake Route). I presume Rogue Assassin is recruited here...?

3. When you get to "Unwavering on the Warrior's Path", the duel in Senso-ji Main Hall, make a save before the "Destroy it" (default) and "Don't destroy it" (new) options, choose the former "Destroy it" option.

4. Then reload for "Don't destroy it".

5. Reload your Ch. 4 save to Fight Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro again (Rat Route) and choose "Don't destroy it".

With the announcement of Gilgamesh's DLC during the New Years stream, 12.31.23, there were 4 anime shorts (I do not remember the order besides Musashi bathing being last) and the opening for the collaboration event.

Collab MV (This ends with Saber turning around with a smile compared to the game's PoV, where he turns around to a frown and Iori going for a stab.)

Fate/Grand Order had a collaboration event that builds off of NG+'s Entreat the Darkness (Snake) ending. Chapters 11, 14, 16, and Epilogue & Digression 7 are at least worth watching.
