* Grimnir's popularity soared as soon as the new Omega II raids were released. In part of his popularity from ''Rage Of Bahamut'' and ''Shadowverse'', players also love him for being {{Adorkable}} and also thanks to his funny moments in the quest to open up the Grimnir Raid. Granblue Twitter exploded when his playable version was finally released, with him trending highest on Twitter for a while after it happened.

** [[EvilIsSexy Lucilius]] has officially reached BreakOutVillain status in the fanbase due to his contrasting personality from the previous two [[FanNickname Luciface’s]], his resemblance to [[MythologyGag Voiding Lucifer]], him being the only evil “Lucifer clone” and him having one of the hardest raids in the entire game, if not the hardest, with some of the best weapons to come out of it. His PetTheDog moments with Lucifer have also made him more palatable in the shipping side of the fanbase as well as Belial’s attachment to him.

** On the male side, while his recruitment number is low, [[GratuitousFrench Lobelia]] is quite popular within the fanbase and artists despite him [[spoiler:being the most evil and irredeemable psychopath in the game, making even the likes like Belial look like a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain. The reason? Precisely ''because'' [[DracoInLeatherPants he is the most evil and irredeemable psychopath]] in the game. Being [[EvilIsSexy handsome]], [[TokenEvilTeammate playable]], [[GameBreaker powerful]], and having a stellar voice work from Creator/KenjiNojima certainly help.]]

** [[DracoInleatherPants Belial.]] Initially conceived to be a villain more [[EvilerThanThou despicable than Sandalphon]], he inadvertantly became one of the most popular villains as well as one of the most popular characters in the game due to his hilariously over-the-top dialogue with everyone he interacts with, his attractive design, his relationship with [[spoiler:Lucilius]] and his voice actor, Creator/YoshimasaHosoya. Since his reveal, there has been demand for him to get a playable version despite his for now uncompromising villain status and even cries for a summer Belial despite him not even having a playable version. He’s even managed to unseat Sandalphon quite a few times as the most popular male character.

* Forte is already popular in the ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' fandom, and later on to ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}''. But in ''Granblue''? Unfortunately, she doesn't have any plot relevance in the grand scheme of things, just a Fate Episode and some minor {{cameo}} roles. Despite that, her fans from the previous games still flocked the ''GBF'' fandom, eventually waiting for more Forte-related here.

* Deliford, the 37 year old knight from the Erste Empire, and to this day only an R/SR unit, is this. In fact, he may be the poster boy for player demand for an SSR, due to being denied one -twice- despite being the star of the 2021 event [[LongTitle "The Time a 37-Year-Old Former Imperial Soldier Got His Life in Order by Awakening to the Greatness That Is Saunas"]] which had a rerun in 2023. His presence as a career-depending family man with aging pains helps endear him to older members of the audience, as well.

** Aster is no slouch either. As the most consistent winner of SR character polls, fans have been begging her to gain an SSR for ages. Her cuteness, little sister characterization to Sutera, and her inventive, tactical thinking have endeared her to many.

* Starting out as nothing more than an NPC and a sidekick to the titular heroine, Nicholas from the ''Robomi'' series slowly started to get more relevance in the later events, becoming co-protagonists with Robomi herself, the fans quickly grew to love him thanks to his charismatic, goofy and lovable personality, his clear inspirations and references to Franchise/KamenRider and the motivations he brought to the events (doing his best to honor the legacy of his hero, facing the fact that his body may not be strong enough to be on the front lines all the time even if he wants to help, choosing between protecting the skies and taking care of his newfound family) that served to contrast Robomi's, and later Zooey's, grander world saving goals and ground the Robomi series (For as much as [[CrazyIsCool the Robomi series]] can be grounded anyway). It's gotten to the point that many fans are asking for this once NPC and sidekick to become one of the representatives of Granblue Fantasy in the fighting game ''Versus''.

** [[DracoInleatherPants Belial.]] Initially conceived to be a villain more [[EvilerThanThou despicable than Sandalphon]], he inadvertantly became one of the most popular villains as well as one of the most popular characters in the game due to his hilariously over-the-top dialogue with everyone he interacts with, his attractive design, his relationship with [[spoiler:Lucilius]] and his voice actor, Creator/YoshimasaHosoya. Since his reveal, there has been demand for him to get a playable version despite his for now uncompromising villain status and even cries for a summer Belial despite him [[UpToEleven not even having a playable version.]] He’s even managed to unseat Sandalphon quite a few times as the most popular male character.

''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has a lot of these in virtue of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the game has.

** Meg is back as the main character for ''Auguste of the Dead'', in an action packed role that spotlights her romance with Mari and gives her a swimsuit version. AndTheFandomRejoiced.

* Ladiva is quite popular among fans, with her very kind and friendly personality, and with having the large figure of a ''male'' Draph, is often seen as a very positive portrayal of a {{Transgender}} character, stating how she loves her body the way it is. Her inclusion in ''Versus'' made her even ''more'' popular.

* Meg, the free SR character of the story event ''My Beloved Auguste'', '''''exploded''''' in popularity thanks to her UnluckyExtra shenanigans, her interactions with the crew both before and after she joins, her CharacterDevelopment throughout the event, her transformation through sheer rage and trauma and her sweet EarnYourHappyEnding. To give an indication on how popular she is, new art for her appeared in the [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eqk3LfBUYAAtlRn?format=png&name=900x900 2020 December Granblue Fantasy Festival]], where she is not ''only'' the only SR character in the bunch, but she is surrounded by ''four of the Eternals, Vikala, Sandalphon, Belial and the main characters''.
