** Many fans already expected the game to have an English dub. How? Well, Creator/CristinaVee voiced the English Dub of the ''Granblue'' characters Ferry and Charlotta in the "Brigade of the Sky" expansion of ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' way back June 2018. Weeks after the first trailer of this game, She [[https://twitter.com/CristinaVee/status/1085019684947152896?s=20 tweeted]] about her ''Granblue'' roles. Fans were quick to jump into the conclusion that Cristina Vee would also be doing voicework for this game, and they were proven right when a new trailer dropped on February 1, 2020.

Removed the Invisible Advertising trope which I commented out, since the game's trailers now have English versions played on English gaming channels on You Tube.


** Similar to Narmaya's case, the [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity factor]] is also the reason why many fans expected Belial to become playable here as a DLC.



%%* InvisibleAdvertising: The game's first trailer was revealed during Cygames Fes on December 2018 in Japan, in a similar vein to how the trailers of ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasyRelink'' got released during major events for the mobile game. Its initial reveal trailers are also first released on the Japanese social media platforms of Cygames. However, unlike most examples of this trope, this has been a bit subverted since the game and media for it are a bit more visible on places like Website/YouTube, where the English fanbase can easily access.

** The reveals for Lowain, Percival, Metera, Zeta and Vaseraga are already expected by the fans ever since the first trailer. Why? Because the official title artwork contains their unlocking weapons from the gacha, itself is a big {{Foreshadowing}} for the base roster. {{Averted}} with Ladiva (who counts as an UnexpectedCharacter) because her weapon is nowhere in that logo.

** With the number of ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' collab events and [[ShoutOut references]] into the original mobile/web game, ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' references in the Zodiac characters' Charge Attacks, a trend of naming character abilities from heavy metal references like how ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' does, the "A Thousand Reasons" event being a TournamentArc of melee fighters, as well as Creator/{{Cygames}} sponsoring EVO 2018, many fans have speculated that the chance of ''Granblue Fantasy'' receiving a FightingGame spin-off is high. Indeed, it was announced in Cygames Fes 2018 that Creator/ArcSystemWorks is developing one, titled ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus''.
** Even before the [[WordOfGod director stated in an interview]] that they are looking to prioritize fighting game archetypes first, fighting game enthusiasts (who also play the original ''Granblue'' game) speculated this to happen, as some characters in-game make references to fighting sports as their combat style. Indeed, there are those who correctly guessed that Ladiva could be the Grappler character archetype, as ''she is a wrestler''.

** Following this chosen acronym, those who have signed up for the Closed Beta test of the game were encouraged to use a set of [[https://twitter.com/Chickzama/status/1126255773183508487 specific hashtags]] to represent the characters they play as.
