History Trivia / GranblueFantasyVersus

* ReleaseDateChange: The first promotional trailer showed a 2019 release date window, but an announcement at the ''Granblue Fantasy'' Summer Stream later revealed February 6, 2020 as the final release date in Japan.

*** "Ken" - There was quite a confusion or mixed reception when Djeeta's teaser was revealed on the 6th Anniversary Livestream, showing some of her moves to be similar to Gran's. While it was just a teaser and not much of her entire moveset was known at that time, players easily speculated if Djeeta would be a MovesetClone of a {{Shotoclone}} in one game, comparing her to Ken from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise in contrast to Gran's comparisons with Ryu.

* DuelingWorks: With ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'', specifically the 2019 installment. Both games are grounded, slow-paced fighters compared to the more chaotic "anime" style that's become popular in recent years. Came to a head when this game's beta and the demo for ''[=SamSho=]'' fell on the same date in late May 2019. Even if ''Granblue Versus'' got released a year later, there's still some minor arguments or comparisons between the games (although not in FandomRivalry levels), such as the fact that while ''[=SamSho=]'' came first than ''GBVS'', it's ''GBVS'' that received a UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} port on PC first on March 13, 2020. A week later on the same month, ''Samurai Shodown'' also received a PC port, but on the Epic Games Store instead. Comparisons between the PC platforms were inevitable, as well as the gap between each games' initial [=PS4=] and PC release dates (1 month for ''GBVS'', while 9 months for ''[=SamSho=]'').

* ColbertBump: In the case of ''Versus'', the UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity took notice of the ''Granblue'' franchise once certain known FGC personalities/streamers/players such as Daigo, Fuudo, Justin Wong and [[LetsPlay/TheOnlineWarrior Maximillian Dood]] played and commented on the game, as well as certain major announcements such as the inclusion of ''Versus'' in the main EVO 2020 lineup.

*** "Bros Install" [=\=] "Waifu Install" - Both of Lowain's Supers are "Install" Supers (ones that allow you to enter a SuperMode upon activation), with each of them involving assistance from his bros, and them summoning the very female Yggdrasil, respectively.

*** "Vergil", "Waifu Vergil", "Vergil's Wife", "Nero's Mom" - Some of the humorous names spawned from the [[MemeticMutation Motivated]] memes comparing Narmaya to Vergil from the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' series, mostly (and simply) due to their similar trope of being an IaijutsuPractitioner, but the ''DMC'' memes and comparisons unexpectedly blew from that.

Both games are grounded, slow-paced fighters compared to the more chaotic "anime" style that's become popular in recent years. Came to a head when this game's beta and the demo for ''Showdown'' fell on the same date in late May 2019. Even if ''Granblue Versus'' got released a year later, there's still some minor arguments or comparisons between the games (although not in FandomRivalry levels), such as the fact that while ''[=SamSho=]'' came first than ''GBVS'', it's ''GBVS'' that received a UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} port on PC first.

*** "Daenerys" - Coming from newcomers who aren't well-versed in ''Granblue'' lore, whose first impression of Zooey is that she is accompanied by dragons, thus comparing her to Daenerys Targaryen from ''Series/GameOfThrones''.

* ContentLeak: When the game was updated with Beelzebub and Narmaya on March 3, 2020, some of the Color Pack Set [=DLCs=] on the Asian Playstation Stores [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESJ7sE7UYAAAIIz?format=jpg&name=medium accidentally leaked]] the 5th DLC character for Season 1 - [[spoiler:Zooey]] (who was kept in secrecy and planned to be announced on the 6th ''Granblue'' Anniversary Livestream on March 8). And it didn't end there, Zooey was leaked ''again'' on March 6 when a [[https://i.redd.it/7vdw24a0szk41.jpg preview of the Season Pass DLC]] revealed her new design.

* TroubledProduction: ''Granblue'' fans and fighting game players alike were at some points, bothered at how this game's release dates are spread-out, including how the versions are handled differently across regions and platforms:

** On Narmaya's reveal trailer, it was announced that the game would receive a PC version on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on March 13, 2020. But even though it's a positive news for PC-exclusive players who just wanted the port, the ''GBF'' fans and the FGC still saw two main issues with this, especially in contrast to the [=PS4=] port:
*** The first is that the Steam version was announced merely 2 weeks before its official release, as a surprise announcement, which means fans were never prepared with this beforehand at all. Those who saw this part with a mixed reception are players who already own both the PC and [=PS4=] systems but wanted to buy the game for only one system, and PC players who went out their way to buy a [=PS4=] soon ''just to play this game''.

*** "Music/LilWayne" - The UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity (mostly the African-American/Hispanic side, but has expanded to most FGC fans as well) intentionally call Lowain as this, due to how his name sounds similar to the rapper.

** On March 3, 2020, it was [[ContentLeak leaked in some DLC packs]] on the Asian Playstation Stores that [[spoiler:Zooey]] is the 5th DLC character for Season 1, when the relevation would have happened on the 6th Anniversary Livestream of ''Granblue'' on March 8.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: In the English Dub, [[Creator/PatrickSeitz Ladiva]], [[Creator/MelaLee Zeta]] and [[Creator/CristinaVee Ferry/Charlotta]] are [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge, Rachel Alucard and Noel Vermillion]]. Replace Zeta with [[Creator/FayeMata Metera]] and you've got [[LightNovel/KonoSuba Aqua, Darkness, and Verdia]].

*** Unlike the [=PS4=] version, this game's Steam version will not have the bonus codes that can be redeemed for the ''Granblue'' gacha game. As of this writing, there wasn't any official statement from Cygames, nor the publishers, justifying the absence of the codes.

** February 6, 2020 for the Japan and some Asian regions, this includes the Hong Kong version as well, which also supported English text and audio at launch, similar to the Western regions' versions stated below.
** March 3, 2020 for the NA version, published by Creator/XSEEDGames.
** March 27, 2020 for the EU version, published by Marvelous Europe. But the drawback here is that Marvelous outright stated "[[https://marvelousgames.com/blogs/news/granblue-fantasy-versus-to-launch-this-march-within-europe-and-australia time constraints and production delays]]" as the reasons why the physical Premium Edition had to be ''cancelled''.
